@LakewoodSpur just to be clear--you're saying that the white supremacists that Hillary was specifically referring to with that comment (which was repeated out of context and ad nauseum by the media you think was out to destroy Trump) aren't "deplorable?" I don't know what it looks like up in the Pacific Northwest, but here in the South, the race-baiting was egregious. Trump appealed to many people for many different reasons, but to be tone-deaf to the fact that that he brought a white nationalist element into the mainstream--one which helped him carry the election down here and in the rust belt--is silly. Almost as silly as the idea that there's a "radical Left" in this country.
I agree the white nationalist element is vile -- as is the black nationalist element. Do you agree? [Even the liberal SPLC tracks NOI, prevalent in the Democratic big cities of the Rust Belt and other black communities across the country, as a hate group!]
Regarding the quote from HRC, she said:
"I know there are only 60 days left to make our case -- and don't get complacent, don't see the latest outrageous, offensive, inappropriate comment and think, well, he's done this time. We are living in a volatile political environment. You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic -- you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people -- now 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks -- they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America." Now a "phobia" is defined as "an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something." Well, let's see, remembering Marine Barracks Beirut, the first WTC bombing, Khobar Towers, 9/11 attack on WTC & Pentagon, Ft Hood, Boston Marathon, San Bernardino, Orlando, et al, am I being irrational if I have concerns about Muslims believing in/acting upon Allah's decree in the Koran that infidels must either convert to Islam, submit to Muslim authority, or be killed (Sura 9)? If I think Muslims, particularly those from the Middle East, should be denied entry into the US until such time as they can be properly vetted in order to perhaps prevent entry of people like Sayyid Qutb or the 9/11 hijackers, do I have an extreme aversion? If I think that we have the right to have strong borders in order to control entry into the country, am I xenophobic or racist because I don't want to let just anybody into the country (much like I don't let just anyone into my house)? But according to Hillary and The Left, I'm a deplorable — there is no other way to take her words. And yet, I think I'm being reasonable in trying to keep our nation safe.
Now what's really deplorable to me was HRC's abject lying about her insecure server and her mishandling of national secrets which did not keep our nation safe, but put it at risk. (And before you say others did it, too, I think anyone who did things like this should be locked up.) Using only the public FBI report as my source (no media spin),her e-mails contained the following:
1. 2,093 emails that the Department of State currently classifies as CONFIDENTIAL or SECRET. (Remember, as Secretary of State, she was also an "originating authority" for classified information.)
2. 193 emails (81 separate email conversations) classified at the time they were sent, ranging from CONFIDENTIAL to TOP SECRET/SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM.
3. 68 of the 81 email chains remain classified today.
4. 8 of the 81 email chains were TOP SECRET.
5. 37 of the 81 email chains were SECRET.
6. 36 of the 81 email chains were CONFIDENTIAL.
7. 7 of the 81 email chains contained SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM information.
8. 3 of the 81 email chains contained SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION.
9. 36 of the 81 email chains were NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS (NOFORN).
10. 2 of the 81 email chains were FIVE EYES (releasable only to five allied partners: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, USA).
11. 12 of the 81 email chains were not provided to the FBI by Clinton’s attorneys. The FBI discovered these emails by other methods.
12. The 81 email chains contained classified information from five other agencies besides the Department of State: Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Defense, Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Geospatial-intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency.
13. In her June 17, 2011 e-mail to her aide, Jacob Sullivan, she gave him clear direction to scrub classified headings from documents in order to use insecure fax.
These are clear violations of the National Security Act, numerous other codes (possessing SCI material outside of a SCIF--are you kidding me?!),and executive orders; and felonies under US Code. If I had committed just one of those during my career I would have been on the rock pile at Leavenworth making little ones out of big ones for the rest of my life. But Obama's AG, especially after her not-so-secret meeting with Bill Clinton, was never going to indict HRC—never. Now maybe all that floats your boat, so be it; but I’m not at all okay with any of it, so does that make me a sexist because I shout "Lock her up!" at the woman who wanted to be President?
Now I've been called all the names HRC listed and more. So even though I think I've been reasonable in my concerns about our nation's security, according to The Left I am an irredeemable deplorable. On top of which, as a straight, white man I am the lowest form of life in the US according to those contending for the leadership of the Democratic National Committee. Tell me that's not radical.
