There are flags to the left and right of the podium. See the draped items with stars and bars? Plus, the screen behind the speaker is showing a portion of the flag. The DNC backdrop had a rotation of several images, including the flag of the USA. This is similar to RNC. I really can't believe I have to explain this.

Please keep laughing at Snopes.

Took an oath to support and defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic. Damn well better believe I support it. Thank you for answering my question on Sharia Law. Glad to know you support the senseless murder of women and gays and lesbians.

Just so you can brush up.

So, let's see. Similar logic. The Jews killed everything in Jerhico -- except for a harlot -- and so if you believe in The Bible then you support genocide.

I didn't answer your question about Sharia Law. It was irrelevant. Many religions have parts I don't like. In fact, as near as I can tell, they all do. Even Pastafarians. I don't like ANY religion, and I sure don't like pitting one of them against another. Your fantasy of Muslims is just that: a fantasy. As the Khans showed.
 
So it's horrible for Donald Trump to call out Mr. Khan, but it's clearly ok for you to say the families of those killed in Benghazi have never told the truth?
Yet, you let the UPS man applaud DT for disrespecting the family. You can't have it both ways bub.

DT can say whatever he wants and it is let slide but HRC is indicted on the 'intent' of what she may or may not have meant. So laughable.

The only good thing that hopefully comes out of all this a viable, strong 3 party platform going forward. This country needs more options. And a fresh look at how someone like DT can even get his name on the ballot. Or how the DNC has been overtaken by extreme liberals who don't understand the US does not have unlimited funds.

The way forward is compromise and forward thinking if we are going to continue as the greatest nation in the world. One thing I will give China props for is how they plan not just for today but 50 years into the future. We need some of that type of thinking in this country.
 
Facts are funded by liberals.

Snopes is hardly an authority on anything. They're used for memes and chain emails and mostly playing defense.

I found this kind of funny.

"Kim Lacapria. Before writing for Snopes, Lacapria wrote for Inquisitr, a blog that — oddly enough — is known for publishing fake quotes and even downright hoaxes as much as anything else.

She described herself as “openly left-leaning” and a liberal. She trashed the Tea Party as “teahadists.” She called Bill Clinton “one of our greatest” presidents. She claimed that conservatives only criticized Lena Dunham’s comparison of voting to sex because they “fear female agency.”

She once wrote: “Like many GOP ideas about the poor, the panic about using food stamps for alcohol, pornography or guns seems to have been cut from whole cloth–or more likely, the ideas many have about the fantasy of poverty.” (A simple fact-check would show that food stamp fraud does occur and costs taxpayers tens of millions.)

Lacapria even accused the Bush administration of being “at least guilty of criminal negligience” in the September 11 attacks. (The future “fact-checker” offered no evidence to support her accusation.)

Her columns apparently failed to impress her readership, oftentimes failing to get more than 10-20 shares.

After blogging the Inquisitr, Lacapria joined Snopes, where she regularly plays defense for her fellow liberals.

She wrote a “fact check” article about Jimmy Carter’s unilateral ban of Iranian nationals from entering the country that looks more like an opinion column arguing against Donald Trump’s proposed Muslim ban.

Similarly, Lacapria — in another “fact check” article — argued Hillary Clinton hadn’t included Benghazi at all in her infamous “we didn’t lose a single person in Libya” gaffe. Lacapria claimed Clinton only meant to refer to the 2011 invasion of Libya (but not the 2012 Benghazi attack) but offered little fact-based evidence to support her claim.

After the Orlando terror attack, Lacapria claimed that just because Omar Mateen was a registered Democrat with an active voter registration status didn’t mean he was actually a Democrat. Her “fact check” argued that he might “have chosen a random political affiliation when he initially registered.”

Lacapria even tried to contradict the former Facebook workers who admitted that Facebook regularly censors conservative news, dismissing the news as “rumors.”

In that “fact check” article, Lacapria argued that “Facebook Trending’s blacklisting of ‘junk topics’ was not only not a scandalous development, but to be expected following the social network’s crackdown on fake news sites.” The opinion-heavy article was mockingly titled: The Algorithm Is Gonna Get You.

Lacapria again played defense for Clinton in a fact check article when she claimed: “Outrage over an expensive Armani jacket worn by Hillary Clinton was peppered with inaccurate details.”

One of the “inaccurate details” cited by Lacapria was that, “The cost of men’s suits worn by fellow politicians didn’t appear in the article for contrast.” She also argued the speech Clinton gave while wearing the $12,495 jacket, which discussed “raising wages and reducing inequality,” wasn’t actually about income inequality."
 
So, let's see. Similar logic. The Jews killed everything in Jerhico -- except for a harlot -- and so if you believe in The Bible then you support genocide.

I didn't answer your question about Sharia Law. It was irrelevant. Many religions have parts I don't like. In fact, as near as I can tell, they all do. Even Pastafarians. I don't like ANY religion, and I sure don't like pitting one of them against another. Your fantasy of Muslims is just that: a fantasy. As the Khans showed.

So , let's see. Similar logic. Radical Islam as well as conservative Islam that practices Sharia Law which calls for the MURDER of anyone that doesn't agree with Islam, is an anomaly, but the words from one Muslim man on stage who happens to have lost a son in combat is the norm?

See how that works?

Would the Muslim man who supports Sharia law and had verbally attacked Trump gotten the same response had he talked up the candidate he supports instead of making himself a fool and attacking the opponent of his candidate? Point being, Donald would not have said a word about the man or his family had he not been verbally attacked. Old man Khan throws a jab, and Trump threw one back.

I completely agree with the rest of your post.

BTW the energy of the media & Obama to make this campaign about attacking Trump is because their candidate is so god-awful. after flopping & blatantly lying on the sunday show this weekend I doubt she does any more press before the election.
 
"playing defense" [laughing]

Yes, snopes is used to highlight the idiocy of fake chain emails and FB posts. Perfect for this situation.

I just posted examples of snopes head writer making excuses for Democrats and Hillary Clinton in ridiculous fashion. Did you just gloss over that? Of course you did.

Whats funny is I guarantee she knew the questions that were going to be asked, and still tanked. Imagine if she ever actually did a real press conference.

Think of the secrets a Hillary Administration would hide from public view.

Debates should be interesting IF Trump can maintain some sense of decorum. All he has to do is provide short talking points and watch her bury herself. There is nothing she can attack him on that he can't quickly turn against her. It's not wonder she is such a coward and tried to avoid the media, Sunday proved it.

You can call HRC a liar if you want...
I think the question really is, how many lies does she have to tell before you're willing to call her a liar? What is the standard - where is the line drawn for you personally?

once again we see a basic divergence, at least on this board. The Rs have no problems acknowledging Trump's penchant for stupid talk, but the Ds will not make even the obvious observation that Hillary lies. They are both self-evident, but you guys just can't quite make yourself say it.....

I'll admit, you lost me after your first ridiculous statement.

She's a head writer? Where's that listed?

I'm sure there are some left leaning goons at Snopes. And some right leaning fluffers. We should therefore discredit the entire site and concept of fact checking.

Or we can just take a look at the photo that the previous poster submitted as an example of a flag-less convention to count the 6+ American flags on stage.

shocking. shocking I tell you.
 
I think a legitimate question is if America is headed toward Civil War? If the influx of refugees brings with it terrorist acts then you kind of wonder will there retaliation for that. Then things spin out of control.
 
There are flags to the left and right of the podium. See the draped items with stars and bars? Plus, the screen behind the speaker is showing a portion of the flag. The DNC backdrop had a rotation of several images, including the flag of the USA. This is similar to RNC. I really can't believe I have to explain this.

Please keep laughing at Snopes.
I will keep laughing at it. They are blatantly shilling for the Bitch. Would you care to post a screenshot of the first night of the DNC to back up your assertion? Maybe since there were so many flags in view of the tv cameras it won't take you long.
