1. Racist sickos

have taken over

[napkinz]

11. he has some really sick surrogates ... one of them called for Hillary to be assassinated

"Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason."

... Trump didn’t distance himself from Baldarsaro. Rather, he praised him. Two days ago, Think Progress reported, “Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has confirmed that his adviser who once called for Hillary Clinton’s execution is still part of the campaign… ‘Al has been so great,’ Trump said. ‘Where’s Al? Where’s my vet?’”

2. He is on MNSBC supporting Trump.

Yelling about Trump

[napkinz]

3. yep, I'm listening to him right now

[world wide wally]

17. Is there any Trump supporter that wasn't on MSNBC today?

[napkinz]

22. I noticed that too

And they're talking about the race tightening.

No surprise. We knew that was coming.

(And there's Andrea Mitchell asking Ann Coulter, who came on to talk about her book, to comment on how the Weiner story hurts Hillary.)

[JI7]

4. do they realize they are offending an entire race more than Clinton with this ?

Not that they actually care

[gratuitous]

9. These are professionally angry people with a hair-trigger

The smallest, most insignificant things can set them off. It's practically unpredictable to tell in advance what's going to do it, either. A lapel pin? Not putting your hand over your heart? Talking too loudly, or too softly? Being a rank amateur? Being too coolly professional? It can be anything.

The corollary to this ultra-sensitivity is that they think everyone else is suffering from the same case of political shingles. You can practically see the thought balloon in the laughable video of the guy burning the Kaepernick jersey while singing the national anthem: "I'm really pissed about Colin Whatshisname! Here, I'll burn his jersey, and that'll make the flag-burners as pissed off as I am. And I'll sing the national anthem while I do it! That'll really make 'em mad! Ah haw, haw, haw!"

For the cartoon, you can just hear the clank of the cartoonist's mental gears: "Oh, they don't like the fine traditions of minstrelsy and performing in blackface? Well, I'll make Hitlery up in blackface! That'll make 'em soooooo grrr mad! I'm such an innovative, rebel talent. Why isn't my work better syndicated?"

5. Fu*k him

and his psychopathic candidate.

[63splitwindow]

7. +1. They need shoved back under the slime covered rocks they slithered out from underneath of.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

6. Ahhh, Branco....

I remember when his anti-Hillary toons were dutifully posted here.

[Wednesdays]

23. Were they racist cartoons?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

25. No, but Branco was pointed out as being a right-wing piece of shit by myself and others.....

......who hates Hillary and Obama and the posters just raised their cheek and farted.

[vadermike]

8. Geez

U can't make this shit up they are stepping all over their campaign with this daily stupid shit u shouldn't say if you are trying to run a real campaign and win (which they aren't ) this is some sick ass shit

[napkinz]

13. how's that outreach working for you, Donald?

[Dustlawyer]

10. +1 for exposure!

[mulsh]

12. He was just on TPM via phone, he was pretty unhinged through out the whole time.

Not much different than other surogates I've seen and heard schilling for Trump. Kudos to the host for trying to keep on the issue.
something tells me things aren't going too well for that organization.

15. "utterly losing his mind"

By Karoli Kuns

I am not sure how MSNBC host Kristen Welker endured well over five minutes of Trump surrogate and pastor Mark Burns utterly losing his mind and screaming at her when she asked him to defend (his) tweet.

Yes, that is Hillary Clinton in blackface, and it's offensive on so many levels. Welker was doing her best to get this "pastor" to admit that it was unhelpful to an overall discussion about racism.

But instead of defending that tweet, Burns decided just to shout as loud as he could about whatever he felt like shouting about. I've included a small clip of Burns' tirade above, but it actually went for well over five minutes.

14. Jesus!

I knew about the weird Trump surrogate, but I'd never heard of that Branco cartoonist.

Here's a little bio about him:
http://comicallyincorrect.com/about-a-f-branco/
<snip>

His cartoons have already gained an international audience. His popular appeal among conservatives recently led to an interview on FOX News.

The bio also tries to paint him in a positive light by comparing him to cartoonists of old who fought for progress. WRONG!

After looking at a few other cartoons by him, I'd compare him more to cartoonists who drew this kind of garbage:


This is him:

[napkinz]

16. I Googled his name and just looked at a few of his toons

[Buckeye_Democrat]

18. Yeah! He's drawn some worse ones!

Well, they were worse in my opinion.

I'm surprised that I'd never heard of him until now.

[yardwork]

19. I'm surprised you didn't notice how often his cartoons were posted here.

Back when it was just fine to spread vile lies about Democratic candidates.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

20. I've only been here about a month.

I don't look at all of the threads either, so I might have missed some recent ones.

[napkinz]

21. I've been here 12 years and I don't recall seeing any of his toons

Why would anyone post such vile material?

[napkinz]

24. Chris Hayes covering the story now on MSNBC

[BYJ439]

26. How disgusting

But this is par for the course for Trump and his ilk. They revel in their hatred and bigotry, and feel that they are superior to everyone. These childish antics won't be enough to get Trump the votes he desperately needs, and he knows this. It seems like he is determined to piss off everybody in America before he is soundly defeated.

[uppityperson]

33. Welcome to DU. How did you find us? I am curious, and welcome.

[spanone]

27. fuck the assholes. despicable.

[tblue37]

28. Wow. nt

[tblue37]

29. Looks like he deleted the tweet. I got this message when I clicked the first link:

Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!

[tblue37]

30. LOL--Yes he did delete it, and then he posted an apology for his "Twit"!

Pastor Mark Burns @pastormarkburns

LIVE on #Periscope: I want to Apologize for my Twit that many found to be offensive... https://www.periscope.tv/w/apNz2DYzODAwMzl8MURYeHlMUVpQZUVKTX6b9Iy9IbOs8lcz3jPJG343nrRRYGAxHHVGgdXIbKqD …

[napkinz]

32. "my Twit"

that pretty much defines him

[napkinz]

31. MSNBC now reporting on his apology
