Funny thing is I pay a lot of attention to politics and haven't heard of a single one of those events in the media. That being said, just being crude is a far cry from actually showing bigotry to those who are under your sphere of control.

You guys keep arguing pennies and hundred dollar bills are the same thing because they're both money...

Not very often. Maybe Jake Tapper once in a while but that's about it.

Don't really have one. WaPo is good. The Hill is pretty decent for politics. WSJ, NBC. Like to read more than listen to talking heads and avoid the fringe sites like Fox News.

"I'm going to take a little liberty with some Hyperbole.

But say you witnessed a 100,000 people frothing at the mouth at his rallies, that number would only represent .03% of the population. (325,700,000)

That same number would only be .16% of the people who voted for him (62,980,160)

But yet, people have no problem posting up videos of a few of people on YouTube being ignorant A-holes and saying this is Trumps America.

Its Shameful and Irresponsible."
From another thread Posted by, guess who?

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Are they somehow more homogeneous than other groups

Nice move. You got Pete to admit that a few outliers don't define Trump's group. But I don't think you could convince Spence and wdmso that the few are outliers or that they are merely few. Actually, I don't think Pete thinks they are either. He kinda posed a trick question.

How about Trump defining his own group?
