The whole Kihzr Khan thing was handled so poorly, imo. When that interviewer guy brought it up Trump could have answered with "You know there's a price on my head, right?" and that would have been enough. The guy has picked fights with Mexican narcotraffickers, corrupt governments, Islamic terrorits, and besides all that he has crazy retards trying to assassinate him because they think he is Adolf Hitler v2. That's not nothing.

No, I'm pretty sure it's someone trying to make something merely bad come off as genocidal, so kind of a bad way to try to start a conversation.

So he only advocated for torture generally, and separately advocated for killing noncombatants; until he specifically calls for the torture of noncombatants he hasn't said anything genocidal, and therefore no worse than our current foreign policy?

Genocide means a very specific thing. Also he changed his mind on the bombing of terrorists families so- hmm.

Dunno I feel like I've been pretty quick to call foul on her when I feel it is warranted, including calling her husband a probably pedo enabler at best and at worst child rapist.

What are you talking about? Are you just incapable of following a train of thought? I'm going to try to walk you through this; but I won't be surprised if this is too much for you to read.

Here's the post that started this little chain:

FrankieGoes posted:

He does have plans: torture and murdering women and children and then stealing their oil.

Here you imply he didn't say those things:

Germstore posted:

If you idiots could actually talk about the bad thing he says such as, "bombing the family of terrorists" instead of clumsily misrepresenting them as worse things maybe you'd get somewhere.

I thought you were somehow saying that bombing the families of terrorists wouldn't involve murdering women and children, but then you clarified:

Germstore posted:

I mean if you're going to extend killing the family of terrorists to torturing and killing muslim women and children then you may as well just say that trump said he would torture, rape and murder women and children.

I thought it was really weird that your problem with it was actually that he left out a comma, possible implying that the torture would be done to the noncombatants who would be killed, rather than having a problem with either torture or the killing of noncombatants separately, so i thought to clarify as well:

Captain Redbeard posted:

I think "torture," "murder women and children," and "steal their oil" were seperate plans in that post, and all things Donald Trump has promised to do if he becomes president. "Killing the family of terrorists" would involve killing women and children, and it's unfortunate that you are ok with that but it's weird to pretend that terrorists somehow have terrorist families that consist entirely of adult, male terrorists.

So you decide that since no one has mentioned genocide, it can't be that bad:

Germstore posted:

No, I'm pretty sure it's someone trying to make something merely bad come off as genocidal, so kind of a bad way to try to start a conversation.
Also why do we need to start a conversation about how egregiously we should violate the Geneva convention? The proper extant of this conversation is "No."

So my next post was intended to point out what a strange line that is to draw, and you try to argue with me about the definition of genocide, which has nothing to do with anything I was talking about.

He's re-popularized hate mongering and racism to social acceptability in circles that used to at least pretend to have a sense of shame about it.

It's arguable some may feel compelled to harm him out of a sense of self-preservation more so than crazy retardation.

They have not but even moreso doing that would effectively call the race for Hillary. No way is there any chance that the Trump true believers turn out to vote R after the establishment says "sorry but your primary choice was Wrong, vote for our guy who we came up with after a backroom deal!" I would die laughing if they did though so I hope they try it anyway.
