"the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering in this election . . ."

Um no . . that’s not President Obama criticizing Donald Trump. It’s an Obama quote from 2008, when Hillary’s campaign repeatedly issued photos of her primary opponent Obama attired in Arabic and African clothes, and played up websites suggesting he was a muslim, or at least a muslim sympathizer.

This is not to justify Trump's theory that – as president – he could unilaterally bar an entire religion from entering the USA for any reason. Rather, I raise this topic to point out that both democrats and republicans are quite willing to relentlessly engage in the most hurtful fear mongering in order to grab power.

Of course, we know what happened to Hillary in 2008. Her appeal to xenophobia was rejected by voters, and millions of soccer moms, public school teachers, and other women who insisted it was “her turn” were bitterly disappointed, and vowed revenge. Hopefully Trumps fear mongering won’t win him the nomination either, even as the democratic leaning network news keeps him front and center in order to garner ratings and advertising revenue.

Since 2008, voters distrust in Hillary has been justified and substantiated over and over. A lackluster, highlight free tenure as Secretary of State. Benghazi. A secret email server in violation of government standards. Mass deletion of emails to frustrate FOIA regulations. Hilarious claims about being dirt poor. And now . . this month . . claiming that Trump’s remarks are unpresidential.

Yes, Hillary . .. they are. And so were yours in 2008. And your entire career since then. Look in the mirror.

That's different. And the Hillary campaign bringing birtherism to the presidential campaign- that's different too.

However, I do thank you for a good laugh, the Obama cartel crying about fear-mongering. Apparently they don't read his speeches on "gun control", huh?

the notion that taking guns away from law abiding citizens will keep them out of the hands of terrorists was disproven in france. 130 people were killed with AK47s, which are illegal EVERYWHERE (unless you're in some place like angola, or Mozambique)

Followup raids at muslim mosques in france this week resulted in the confiscation of some 300 additional banned assault weapons, rifles, and handguns.

I agree with you, but AK-47s are not illegal everywhere, though they are illegal in France. I own one, and purchased it legally in California. It's a semi-automatic sporting rifle like many millions of others.
