    I think it was the beautiful, intelligent and gracious ladies of the view.

    Joy Behar mocks Pence's faith, calls his relationship with Christ possible 'mental illness'

    I think there was quite a backlash, as she offended a huge majority of Americans...

      Ah, yes... the View Shrews. Where several very angry, scowling "comediennes" regularly spew venom and hatred toward all who aren't on the far left.

          If a white conservative said something like that, they would be blasted by the MSM as inciting a riot.

            Pure speculation, so not really worth a response.

            And I agree with her that people should be screaming, and that Trump is dangerous. But they should be "screaming" with their social commentary, with their marches and rallies, with their calls to oppose the new and ugly kinds of "normal" Trump represents, and (most importantly) with their vote.

                In defense of Tassman, Trump actually did argue those things, and did it long after the conspiracy theory had crashed and burned.

                  I'll take your word for that, Leon, but Tassman has such a habit of overshooting the runway with his rhetoric that I don't believe much of what he says without a cite.

Rick Perry. Rick Santorum. Mike Huckabee. Trump never said it about himself (that I know of) but Paula White (his spiritual advisor?) made the claim on his behalf.

                      So were these claims as absurd as the Waters claim apparently is?
                      It's my own private joke that most of the time when someone says, "God told me to do such and such," God is sitting in heaven saying, "Hey, how, don't blame me!"

                      Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                      But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                      Than a fool in the eyes of God

                        You need cites for Trump's birther lies re Obama! REALLY!

                          Actually, I didn't organize that response well. The "pure speculation" was your last comment, which I did not respond to. The, "if W had X, Y would Z" statements are just fluff. No one can prove them to be true or false. They are just existing-point-of-view-self-stimulation.

                            No. As far as I can tell - a LOT of people, across the political spectrum, play the speculation game.

                            If Hillary had won, she would have Xed
                            If Trump had lost, he would have Yed
                            If a Dem said that, Reps would Z
                            If a Rep said that, Dems would W

                            The entire "speculation game" is a pointless exercise. The claimant cannot show it to be true, and the objector cannot show it to be false, because it didn't happen. So it just gives the claimant a chance to self-stimulate their existing point of view.

                                It's more about not trusting your word, Tass - you are consumed with hate and will say just about anything.
