Here's How Donald Trump Responded to My Essay About Him

By Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, The Washington Post

03 September 15

his morning, an essay of mine was published titled, “This is the Difference Between Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.” Trump’s response to my piece is the best, though inelegant, support for my claims. Here again, he attacks a journalist who disagrees with him, not by disputing the points made but by hurling schoolyard insults such as “nobody likes you.” Look behind the nasty invective and you find an assault on the Constitution in the effort to silence the press through intimidation. The full text is below.

Dear Kareem,

Now I know why the press always treated you so badly — they couldn’t stand you. The fact is that you don’t have a clue about life and what has to be done to make America great again!

Best wishes,

Donald Trump

Negativity? Who said that?

With the focus of attention in Middleboro during the past year, the willingness of many to accept without question fairytales, gossip and outright lies has been breathtaking at times.

.

Critics complain of the negativity, failing to hear the proposed solutions or recognize the goal of much needed improvement.

.

And those same critics, so focused on their target, ignore the facts. Many of those critics are defending their participation in the blunders.

.

Puttering around the internet, excerpts of an article that included inflammatory rhetoric, emotionally charged words deliberately chosen to attack and demean the opposition were discovered and are listed below. Can you guess who wrote it?

.

Without a swaggering, barely articulate, brush clearing "brat and a Bud Bush" the mouth breathers can relate to,....

.

If ____ is the candidate talk show bigots and swift boaters will use anything and everything to lift the rotting logs of sexism and get their creepy crawlies to the polls.

.
They will stoke the flames of racial and religious racial animus ....
.

We know that there is a segment of society so filled with hate untempered by higher level cognitive functioning that they will believe anything that reinforces their prejudices.

.

.... these butt scratchers may not feel that it is worth breaking their usual routine to actually go to the polls.

.

...the hucksters of hate ...

.

....so the later will probably be used by the scummiest of the right wing scum.

.

....candidate...once and for all put a permanent cork in the garbage mouths of these puke mongers.

.

After reading the above, confusion is understandable when reading the following authored by the same person (emphasis mine):

.

....after looking over the blogs and comments on the blogs which are a popular feature of the CasinoFacts.org website, I saw rhetoric that I would never publish on this website.

.

...some of them choose to use vicious humor or just nasty names to insult those with whom they disagree.

.

Mudslinging in private is one thing....

.

....something libelous ....

.

Monitoring several blogs or message boards to assure they meet an organization or website's standards for propriety and courtesy is a time consuming task.

.

The only rule aside from good taste and civility is that anonymous material will not be published.

.

.

That same author departed a discussion forum when other posters disagreed with him.

.

And that same author has refused to respect others when shoving a camera in their face and disrupting public meetings by climbing over furniture (incidentally, in violation of the Open Meeting Law), instead defending his right to do so.

.

Maybe Hal can explain why he has become precisely what he has criticized in others.
