Campaign isn't a day old and Trump poodle Ron Desantis already had a "macaca" moment

[Darth Omar]

of course they can read. they don't WANT to debate the statement -they want to throw around "racism".
If it wasn't for identity politics, and PC police they wouldn't have any ideas at all -except socialism

They have ideas alright.

But they’ve been tried and failed.

It was really stupid, because there will be people who construe it was racists. It really doesn’t matter at this point what he really meant.

of course it doesn't matter what he meant.......it only matters how you can construe it......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Also monkey bread.

racist!......

Man it ain't even subtle anymore ...

Let the Whistle Blowing begin ...

Everyone who thanked this post must think they are monkies and are terribly off the deep ended off ended.

This might be the second best prediction I've seen on here next to Leon's Hillary will win 50 states to 0.

No one needs to make bad words look bad, Grampy.

Do we now refer to monkeys as the "M" word?
Or how about a plumber asking his assistant, "Could you hand me the M wrench?"

[Micawber]

Did that Republican just call his black challenger a monkey? OMFG

 

[blackascoal]

Exactly!

But he has to be careful, there are a lot of people who will equate Bernie with socialism.

Socialism is a bad word for many.

I disagree.

Bernie Sanders is the most popular politician in America, and everybody knows he's a socialist.

More and more Americans are beginning to see the truth of Democratic socialism.

 

[blackascoal]

Exactly. It's another version of "throwing a monkey wrench" into something...monkeying it up.

Why the facade?

Why do clearly obvious racists claim they aren't racist?

Any intelligent politician is going to be careful to parse their words so that they do not offend people they don't intend to offend. They practice what they're going to say.

He meant to say it and he got the connotation he intended. So why the pretense?

Don't get it twisted, as far as I'm concerned he can say whatever he wants. He's a racist, why hide it? Your party is racist .. just too chicken-shit to say it. They hide in code-words.

The more they expose themselves the more they shrink into a dwindling group of cowardly and rejected people who are scared of every damn thing. :0) Could that be why they try to hide?

Things are a-changin' girlfriend.

OUch, that guy is going down.

Wanna bet?

I guess people didn’t see turnout comparisons from primaries

Dems should be worried about Florida.

But you keep hoping against hope GayRod

You know a racial slur when you hear one. Don't play dumb. It is not very becoming, nor does it make a very convincing argument to protect someone with a racist intent.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Sorry dude. If you use the term "monkey" in reference to a black man you might as well use the N word.

That's what he meant and no one is fooled

I am so glad you lefties are mind readers! He never mentioned his opponent, and was in fact referring to the Florida Democrat platform! Quote "“The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state.”" Sorry but your little smear won't work.

What's happened here is the Communist wing of the Democrats have secured the nomination which is a surefire guarantee to lose. I'm sure the moderates of that party are shitting a gold brick cuz the writing is on the wall and they will lose.
All the race-baiting and fake news in the world ain't gonna win this for them. It's over.
Had Graham won, I would be concerned. Now, I'm overjoyed. That win was a gift to the Republican party.

There is no doubt that the GOP is the party of Klansmen, racists, and Nazis.

This latest comment was racist, and was intended to be racist.

 

[Phantasmal]

He was referring to socialism ‘monkeying around’ with the FL economy.

Or can’t you read.

That would probably be correct, but when you hang out with people like Milo and other white nationalist, it gets people wondering if your comment was really that innocent.

 

[TTQ64]

I disagree.

Socialist is a bad word for the racist right.

Lots of Americans agree with the racist right in some form.

Look at how many dingbats on the right on this board are calling him a socialist already.......

Even Joe on morning Joe, the so called "liberal MSNBC" is calling him a socialist.

I agree, it's not a bad word at all.

Keep telling yourself that, like you told yourself Hillary was winning in a landslide.

This latest race baiting attempt didn't elicit the typical Pavlovian response from blacks it normally does, probably because the unemployment rate is down and life is looking up.

The economy is doing well and you can't change that with lies.

Not a racist slur, stop lying.

It was a figure of speech used in the past. Give it up, you're going to lose in Nov and you know it.
