http://insider.foxnews.com/2015/09/17/donald-trump-responds-man-saying-obama-muslim-during-new-hampshire-town-hall-meetingTrump Doesn't Challenge Man Who Called Obama a Muslim
Donald Trump declined to correct a man who said that President Obama is a Muslim and "not even an American" during a town hall meeting in Rochester, N.H.
"We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims," the questioner said to Trump. "We know our current president is one. You know hes not even an American."
The Trump supporter continued, "But anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us. Thats my question: When can we get rid of them?"
Trump responded, "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 out there. Were going to be looking at that and plenty of other things."

(62,444 posts)There are a lot of people who believe insane internet crap spread by crazy emails.
I'm surprised he didn't get to "Obama is buying all the ammunition".
So, what is your reasoning?

CNN hit the jackpot last night as their Cash Cow paid off....now to milk it some more.
And anyone who watched was part of the milking.

(62,444 posts)Was McCain's crazy "Obama's a Muslim" lady also a plant?
There are a lot of people who believe this crap. The guy's question was rambling, disjointed and hardly sounded scripted at all. In what way was his access "easier" or more scripted than any of the other people who asked questions?

(402 posts)If doesn't matter whether he was a plant or not. What is more telling, is Trump's response to it. He could have taken a lesson from John McCain when the crazy old blond woman stood up and and said that she couldn't trust Obama and that she thought he was an Arab. McCain's corrected the woman in a dignified and honorable way. Trump didn't call this guy on any of his outrageous comments. If he can't stand up to a bigot who is 5 feet away him, how is he going to "make America great again"?

No.. only White Plains.

(5,141 posts)I am just hoping an asshat like this cant live anywhere near me. Although there is a Trump Tower in White Plains NY so maybe. I cant find one in NH on the google machine.
And yes, Im being silly; i know idiots are all around us.
OUR White Plains is the translation of what the local indian name was - Quarropas meaning white marshes or plains. Just in case youre wondering
My father grew up in White Plains, NY..
Thanks for the history lesson, also.
dorkzilla
(5,141 posts)And although I no longer live there, my business is there. Another fun fact - White Plains is (or at least was a couple years back according to Forbes) the 4th most expensive city in the US to live in. Your dad would be gobsmacked about that certainly. We were always NYCs Country Mouse. My Bronx cousins used to say wed moved to the country. LOL!
Do you know what section of dear ol WP he was from?
So we like the same music and youre dad is from my town...maybe were long-lost siblings?

(14,498 posts)And he thinks the questioner is a regular caller-in to his NYC-based show.
So... if the guy is in fact from NY... it's kind of odd that he'd be at a Trump town hall in NH.
dorkzilla
(5,141 posts)Yeah, looks like hes one of ours. AND THAT REALLY PISSES ME OFF. Im going to go load up my pea shooter and drive around looking for him. And I got some cheeks...and a full bag of dried peas.

(16,230 posts)What he's saying sounds scripted and rehearsed. It sounds like bad acting. Plus he has the kind of deep distinctive voice that gets announcer jobs. It's also noteworthy that he wasn't shown on camera (where he might be recognized as a voice over artist by someone). I haven't seen much of that Q&A session. Did they show other questioners?
All that said, those things aren't necessarily proof that he's a plant. He could just be a guy who was hoping to question Trump and wrote down and rehearsed what he would say if he got the chance.

(62,444 posts)People who ask questions at these types of things don't just try to get called on and then decide what they are going to ask.
Try listening to local AM radio call in shows.
Guy sounded like 99% of the people who call those shows.

(51,129 posts)He's definitely a human, I can say for certain because I'm both an anthropologist and experienced in taxonomy.
Of course, their is a lot of variation in humans and some of them are less intelligent than the average plant. But, if it talks and it walks, it's human, no matter how ignorant.
Trump is also a human, much as I hate to admit being the same species as he is.

(2,382 posts)... it's common practice, and The Donald has already been caught hiring actors to puff up attendance at his appearances; hell, he did it when he announced his candidacy.
I've been an actor for 25 years, both in community theater (shaved my head to play Daddy Warbucks!) and commercials, so I know a little bit about delivering lines. This clown was delivering lines.
Also, scripting a question is actually a very good idea, especially if someone is not entirely comfortable speaking extemporaneously in front of a crowd. It's easy to get discombobulated when you're nervous. This guy wasn't nervous. I think he was a plant.

(493 posts)Like Don lemon say's what would it matter? Does this man and many of Trumps sheep think that all Muslins are terrorists?
I found this most interesting watching the reactions of the two women over Trumps left shoulder and also the man in the gray shirt with the mustache and goatee!

(394 posts)look at his body language. i like to think of myself as a good judge of acting and IF he was a plant he deserves 10 Oscars.
