SMH at the media

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Donald Trump is suggesting Secretary Clinton and President Obama are traitors and the former should be wacked and the press is talking about somebody who knows the Secretary asked somebody who knows the Secretary for a job.

This search for false equivalence is mind boggling. It would be like focusing on Otto Wels' peccadilloes when he was running for Chancellor against Adolf Hitler in the 1933 German Federal Elections.

1. It is terrifying. Especially after reading Thomas Friedman's editorial

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/10/opinion/trumps-ambiguous-wink-wink-to-second-amendment-people.html

"And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin got assassinated.

His right-wing opponents just kept delegitimizing him as a “traitor” and “a Nazi” for wanting to make peace with the Palestinians and give back part of the Land of Israel. Of course, all is fair in politics, right? And they had God on their side, right? They weren’t actually telling anyone to assassinate Rabin. That would be horrible."


Trump said she and Obama started ISIS. The murderous people who have destroyed the peace of mind of people across the world
He said she is going to take away everyone's guns, and he suggested she should be shot.

His behavior is extremely similar to the right-wing that killed Rabin.

2. Agree 100%.

I need to step back from this sometimes because it's INFURIATING. I still can't believe that people raise Clinton's "issues" to the level of Trump's – there's absolutely no equivalence!!! It's absurd. I feel like even the media is trying to gaslight us now.
