    Wilson is playing the race card and we know what that means, it means she has no argument and is probably dead wrong. It would also seem the good folks at MSNBC are also surrendering by playing the race, woman and religion card.

    These people go out of their way to criticize Trump at every turn but never see themselves as being the slime that they are. The say the most horrible and inflammatory things and if you challenge them on it they really pile it on and they get away with it.

    I hope all the liberals reading this now see Wilson and MSNBC for what they truly are.

    She'll accuse Kelly of misogyny before the days out. Empty barrels are as predictable as they are noisy ...

    Classy and epic smack-down of Frederica "empty barrel" Wilson conducted by Gold-star Dad, Kelly.

    Not racist, but the lengths he went to avoid using her name (substituting "empty barrel") was quite disrespectful. Representative Frederica Wilson has not just a name, but a title indicating the office she was elected to. Kelly's disrespect surprised me; I expected better of him.

    Apparently any criticism of a black person is a racist attack by definition, according to some dishonest people. I looked up the term "empty barrel" to see how it was specifically racist and of course found it was nothing of the kind ("empty barrels make the most noise").

    Joy Reid and Fredericka Wilson (whose voting record supporting our military personnel is awful, by the way) can both kiss my virtual
    internet butt!

    Ah...

    So Frederica Wilson called a Gold Star Father a racist.

    Chorus of "progressive" outrage in 5...4...3...2...1...

    Maybe he should have just referred to her as Hitler like the collective left refers to Trump. Disrespect? Kelly ain't got nothing over democrats.

    Two things you can wake up counting on from democrats, they always play the race card to diminish their opponent and they always always call any tax cut a tax cut for the rich. Shocking I know.

    Lesson of the Day: Respect is earned

    The contemptible empty barrel who called a Gold Star Father who has served this country with honor and distinction a racist received the treatment she deserved from General Kelly.

    She ought to step down. She's a crazed leftist SJW type and is not to be trusted.

    I believe she said that the gold star father used a racist term, not that he is a racist.

    Kelly allowed himself to be pimped by the Administration. The General was sincere, but what he missed coming from a military background is that lines as "he knew what he was signing up for" doesn't offer condolences to a young pregnant wife, like telling the survivors at a wake for a person who died from cancer, " he knew he had cancer"

    Kelly was intended as a distraction, to move it off the President's fiasco onto a question of patriotism and respect for the military. He surely believed what he said, but it wasn't the Congresswomen who made the entire episode political, it was the President when he made it all about him fabricating the nonsense about prior Presidents. Now their shooting the messenger

    "Empty barrel" is not a racist term, however.

    I grasp her implication quite clearly. I don't need any "explanations" from her apologists.

    Is it because you're so experienced apologizing for Trump?

    As someone who has a family member buried at Arlington National Cemetery I can tell you that the president's statement isn't anything like telling the survivors at a wake for a person who died from cancer, " he knew he had cancer".

    Sorry, but that doesn't negate or excuse anything Frederica Wilson has said.

    I'm experienced with the "progressive" fondness for accusing others of racism where none exists. It's your fascist little way of trying to silence the people who criticize you, your ideology and your policies:



    Do you have any more excuses and deflections to make on behalf of your comrade who just slandered a Gold Star Father?

    Attacking a Gold Star father? How shamefully. Total called it in the thread I made though.

    You know it’s funny cause the other day her secretaries or whatever said she wasn’t going to make any further comments on this issue after she landed in hot water with her first insults at Kelly, which would have been smart on her part. Now she’s just digging herself a pit that she won’t get out of. Shoulda kept her mouth shut but you know liberals. Gotta play that race card any time they can

    She had no where else to go with this because the Green Berets widow didn't back her claim.

    Okay...

    We're 2 hours and 15 minutes into a thread about a Democrat slandering a Gold Star Father and we've yet to hear the chorus of Leftist outrage and condemnation.

    What's the hold-up???

    Step up, progs - no one's holding you back....
