Dear Media: Hillary Clinton Did Not Claim Donald Trump is Being Used in ISIS Recruiting Videos
In case you missed Saturday night’s well-hidden Democratic presidential debate, the one piece of news that seems to have come out of it is that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pulled a Carly Fiorina, and claimed to have seen videos that didn’t exist. Instead of seeing a fetus kicking it on a Planned Parenthood table, though, Hillary apparently claimed to have seen Donald Trump appearing in ISIS recruiting videos. This is huge, if true, because just like Fiorina’s fetus fever-dream, ISIS recruiting videos of Donald Trump don’t exist (although none of the fact-checkers have seen MSNBC’s upcoming Trump documentary, so the jury’s out).
That heinous lie by lying liar Hillary Clinton has been making the rounds all day, on all three cable news networks:
It’s not just me, right? They all said that Hillary Clinton claimed there were ISIS recruiting videos featuring Donald Trump. Chris Cuomo is right, there really is no other way to translate it. Hell, even Pulitzer Prize-winning Politifact says that this was Hillary’s “contention,” that ISIS is “using Trump for recruitment videos.”
Case closed, pantsuit on fire. Hillary Clinton should definitely apologize, and maybe even drop out of the race. Before we listen to her concession speech, though, let’s just play her big fat lying lie one more time, just for funsies. Here is Hillary Clinton claiming that ISIS is using Donald Trump in its recruiting videos…READ MORE

Exactly Tommy! NBC NEWS | ISIS TERROR | DEC 8 2015, 3:51 PM ET | Donald Trump’s Muslim Bashing Aids Cause of Terror Networks, Say Experts http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/donald-trumps-muslim-bashing-aids-cause-terror-networks-say-experts-n476221 Boom! “He is becoming ISIS’s best recruiter. They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists.”
Wait, what? She never actually said that ISIS was producing recruitment videos featuring Donald Trump? Well, this is close enough, isn’t it? I suppose she could have meant that existing videos of Trump insulting Muslims (which definitely exist) are being shown to people, perhaps on Twitter or something, to encourage people to join ISIS. It’s not like there’s any evidence at all that this is happening, she’s still a liar. Right?
Well, that depends on whether a published report citing a recognized expert counts. Does that count?

I think one of the most important parts of that sory is this:
Earlier, a self-made Arab billionaire told NBC News he regretted backing Trump earlier in the campaign. Khalaf al Habtoor said he was shocked by Trump’s comments, which the tycoon defended Tuesday as “common sense.”
“He is creating a hatred between Muslims and the United States of America,” al Habtoor said.
Extremists like ISIS “will thank Mr. Trump for his comments,” he added.

Count on this: The Middle East will be so chaotic once a Republican is in the Oval Office than it has been in the last 70+ years.

We’ve gone from the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon to the Six Degrees of News Amalgamation.

But who would be Kevin Bacon?
My first instinct is to say, certainly not Sanders!
(I still love the guy, jus sayin…)
But then I remember how many different people he’s met.
And from a wide variety of backgrounds.
In fact, I just tried looking up the separation between Bacon and Sanders (sounds like a picnic!) and guess what?
Not only does he have a “Bacon number” of 2, but…
I found some strange stuff, man:
Trailer for “My X Girlfriend’s Wedding Reception”:

(Seriously, this is great! I would love to see it get some viral attention!)
(Also, “Feel the Bern” combined with “viral”… lol)

I think it should be a former SAG/Union President. Ronald Reagan was a strong Union organizer. lol Was in movies and politics, Reagan could make connections like Bacon.

For trump to call Clinton out for lying is a sham of a mockery of a travesty of a sham…

It’s funny watching both parties blame the other party for ISIS recruiting videos.
It’s almost as if both parties agree that all it takes to turn a normal acting muslim into a terrorist is words from someone in America.
