A NC driveby’s search for genitalia
Yep, The N&O’s Colin Campbell suuuuuuure has a nose for news:
For what it’s worth, I’ve been using public restrooms for nearly a half century now and I HAVE NEVER, NEVER, NEVER,NEVER, NEVER EVER NEVER laid eyes on someone else’s genitalia during those experiences. So, the lack of genitalia sightings in a public restroom would not be newsworthy to me.
One COULD look at that Tweet from Mr. Campbell and infer that he was some kind of deviant seeking a peek at others’ private parts. (After all, Campbell is on the N&O’s social deviance beat — which, naturally, encompasses trannies AND the legislative building.)
In Mr. Campbell’s defense, some may suggest that inference reads too much into Mr. Campbell’s statement that he tweeted to the world. Okay. Point taken.
Now, let’s look at the pseudo-controversy over Donald Trump’s “Second Amendment people” comments whipped up by Team Hillary and stoked by Mr. Campbell and his fellow drive by sycophants.
Here’s Mr. Campbell’s latest in today’s paper:
U.S. Sen. Richard Burr was critical Wednesday of Donald Trump’s comment that “Second Amendment people” might do something to stop Hillary Clinton from making judicial nominations.
Of the North Carolina Republican candidates who have campaigned with their party’s presidential nominee, only Burr sought to distance himself from the remark, which critics said was an incitement to violence.
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Trump said at a rally in Wilmington Tuesday. “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.”
While Burr appeared with Trump earlier this month, he was not at the Wilmington event and issued a written statement Wednesday afternoon.
“Like most Americans, I was surprised by the statement,” Burr said. “I think Donald Trump could better serve the Republican Party by spending more time talking about the foreign policy failures under President Obama and Hillary Clinton.”
Gov. Pat McCrory spoke at the Wilmington rally, where he praised Trump as an “outsider” the country needs to “change Washington, D.C.” and enforce immigration laws. He said he’s “proud” to support the presidential campaign.
But after Trump’s “Second Amendment people” comment made headlines, The News & Observer sent McCrory’s campaign multiple requests for the governor’s reaction to the comment. No statement was provided.
Trump’s campaign, meanwhile, has been seeking to walk back the remark. On Tuesday night, Trump said he was calling on Second Amendment supporters to vote – even though his comment involved a scenario in which Clinton had already won the presidency.
Walk back ???? Try “clarify” or “correct falsehoods disseminated by partisan punks claiming to be objective while hiding behind the First Amendment.” MORE:
In a Wednesday interview with MSNBC, Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson offered a different interpretation for the remark. She argued that the candidate meant the National Rifle Association might successfully lobby senators to block Clinton’s judicial nominees if she’s president.
Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, who’s been a speaker at several Trump campaign events, issued a statement indicating he backs Trump’s initial explanation. Like Trump, he blamed the news media’s coverage of the comment.
“Let me get this straight, Hillary Clinton shared a stage last night with the father of the shooter in the Orlando massacre and you are asking me if Trump was right to encourage 2nd Amendment supporters to vote, en masse, to ensure their constitutional rights?” Forest said in an email to a reporter. “Are you equally calling N.C. Democrat candidates asking if they agree with Clinton standing with the father of a murderer? If not, why not?
“Both candidates have clarified their respective remarks/actions, yet the N and O accepts Clinton’s clarification as fact and ascribe doubt to Trump’s. Why?”
Once again, Dan Forest has to show his fellow Republicans HOW IT’S DONE. MORE:
The Orlando shooter’s father did not “share the stage” with Clinton but attended her rally and was spotted in a crowd standing behind her.
Her campaign said Seddique Mateen was not invited to the rally and that Clinton “disavows his support.”
First of all, Colin, he WAS on the platform with her AND seated in an area reserved for VIPs invited by the campaign and local Democrat Party. Mateen even publicly says he was invited. You don’t get in the area he was sitting in without being invited by heavy-hitters close to the candidate. MORE:
[…]North Carolina Democrats have been calling on GOP state leaders to withdraw their endorsements of Trump as the billionaire continues to make controversial comments that are unusual for a presidential campaign.
“Please put your country ahead of your party and stop supporting this terrible, unstable person,” state Rep. Grier Martin of Raleigh tweeted to McCrory on Tuesday.
Burr’s Democratic opponent, former state Rep. Deborah Ross, called on the senator to condemn Trump’s comments.
“North Carolinians see Trump’s comments for what (they) are: dangerous and making him unfit to be Commander-in-Chief,” Ross said in a news release. “There are many reasons why Sen. Burr should withdraw his support of Trump, and I hope he agrees that regardless of our differences, no one should ever condone violence in this way.”[…]
Meanwhile, more email evidence is surfacing supporting the allegations in the book and film “Clinton Cash” that Bill and Hillary Clinton used her influence at The State Department and their ties to Clinton Foundation donors to enrich themselves AT OUR EXPENSE.
There’s actual evidence of that. Not something you have to fabricate. But the drive bys have already admitted that it is no longer their mission to be objective and present the facts, but to do all they can to stop Trump, and — in their view – save America. Colin, and those like him, are simply being good liberal weenies and marching along dutifully on that mission.
EVERYONE knows what Trump meant. He meant to rile up the base with inflamitory rhetoric and the audience reaction supports that. It is what he cosistently does – that is, he appeals to the base instincts of the angry mob.
IF Trump “meant the National Rifle Association might successfully lobby senators to block Clinton’s judicial nominees if she’s president” he could have said just that or many other clear ways to say the same.
And what is Trump hiding in his taxes?
He is hiding nothing….but has probably been targeted by Barry’s IRS. It is common for most companies to have audits for years on their returns. From what I understand he has released the ones that have finished the audit process…..and you can bet the IRS is going to find anything fishy with them as they are getting “special attention” by this point. This issue is just another straw man by Hitlary and the media. It is funny though that you are unconcerned by the actual body count of people associated with HItlary though…looooove the selective outrage.
I’ve looked for but have not found any Credible evidence of your so-called body count.
It is below…but not your much ballyhooed CNNNBCSBSPMSNBCABC. The UK sources are covering the issue(s). Plus, I can name several in addition to Seth Rich just off the top of my head. Vince Foster, Ron Brown, John Ashe, Jim McDougal, Ed Willey….all of these had close ties with Hitlary and Bubba and have the most mysterious circumstances.
There are also 15 former bodyguards of the Clinton family who have all died before they were 50 years old: 36 – Major William S. Barkley Jr. 37 – Captain Scott J. Reynolds 38 – Sgt. Brian Hanley 39 – Sgt. Tim Sabel 40 – Major General William Robertson 41 – Col. William Densberger 42 – Col. Robert Kelly 43 – Spec. Gary Rhodes 44 – Steve Willis 45 – Robert Williams 46 – Conway LeBleu 47 – Todd McKeehan…..This one is not just a coincidence….how many people you have been associated with have died at those young-ish ages?
To answer your question, too many. And I don’t know anywhere near the number of people “associated” with any politician.
Well, glad to not be associated with you then. I for one know few who died in their 30’s, and a few more in their 40’s. Believe me it is a rare occurrence in the general population not known to revolve in the Clinton circle.
You know the other side to this……what is Hitlary hiding in her medical forms? What with her crazy seizures, short-circuiting, bug eyed faces, and falling all the time. It sounds like she has some brain damage, the literal kind, that she is hiding. Maybe a deal should be struck, the IRS finishes the most outstanding audit and Hitlary releases all her medical records. That seems fair….especially when you consider she will be in charge of the “button” which evidently could be pressed if she fell or had a “Short-circuit”.
Maybe they need to investigate more on the Hitlary associates who actually wind up dead. The list is so long, and growing with all the DNC folks who are mysteriously disappearing in the wake of the leak there. I guess it is easier to make democraps disappear since they are not “2nd ammendment people”.

The British press does tend to cover what the American press sweeps under the rug for political reasons.
I was surprised to see them give any credibility to the Snopes site, run by hard core leftwingers and funded by Soros.
There are some good Russian sites out there too, but you have to take them for what they are, just short of the old school Pravda of the old Soviet days.
Let’s be realistic here. Trump said exactly what the 2nd amendent is intended for. Defense from tyranny. Jefferson said that the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants from time to time. It is not an incitment to violence it is a call to patriotism. A call to violence is the BLM BS about killing police and the spineless support of them by people like Hillary, Gary Johnson, the N&O, and WRAL. Trump said nothing more than what we second amendment people say on a daily basis. If that comment is an incitement to violence for a peaceful law abiding people then what is the parent of a terrorist featured prominently behind Hillary. The angry mob is the BLM, Occupy, and the democrat protesters NOT the millions of firearms owners in this nation. The same people jumping on this are the same one who railed against the tea party and who will elect criminals like Hillary. It’s fun to watch the apoplectic dupes and morons regurgitate the mantra of the media. Too bad they are empty headed sheep.
Does anyone still subscribe to the N&O? Or, tune in to WRAL TV?
Answers 1) Fewer and fewer…subscriptions are getting lower every day. 2) Refer to number 1 . The NBC switch has really done them in, that is for sure and should hit their news even more over time. I would like to know the true story behind that move.
