http://www.mediaite.com/tv/trump-refuses-to-deny-accusation-that-obama-is-foreign-muslim-during-nh-qa/Donald Trump decided to do something a little different at his post-debate campaign rally in New Hampshire Thursday night, taking questions from the crowd in an extended, off-the-cuff Q&A session. And the first question of the night was just as disastrous as you might have imagined.
I like this guy, Trump said, pointing to the first questioner.
We have a problem in this country called Muslims, the man said right off the bat. We know our current president is one. You know hes not even an American.
We need this question? Trump said, laughing.
But anyway, the man continued, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. Thats my question: When can we get rid of them?
Trump, who made his political name by leading the so-called birther movement to which this man clearly subscribes, did not clarify that Obama is a Christian American. Instead, he simply said, Were going to be looking at a lot of different things, and you know, a lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening and were going to be looking at that and plenty of other things.

(43,181 posts)3. So many thoughts immediately come to mind.
1. First, even if the President were a Muslim, so what?
2. I'm glad that Trump's birtherism will hopefully now become an issue, at long last.
3. "When can we get rid of them?"--Wait, are you advocating ethnic cleansing there, dude?
4. Finally--that "answer." That "answer" puts Sarah Palin to shame.
