Liberal mainstream media journalists are so terrified of losing their direct pipeline to the White House, that one of them suggested assassinating the GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.
“Good news guys I’ve figured out how the Trump campaign ends,” NY Times reporter Ross Douthat tweeted last night. His tweet contained a link to a trailer from the 1983 movie The Dead Zone, featuring an assassination attempt on a character played by actor Martin Sheen.
In the movie, the smarmy politician (Sheen) spots the would-be assassin (played by Christopher Walken) and holds up a baby to thwart the assassination attempt.
Imagine a NY TImes columnist “joking” about assassinating President Obama. He would be fired and thrown in jail.
In response to the angry backlash from his Twitter.com followers, Douthat deleted the tweet and issued an apology.
A lot readers were offended by my Trump/"Dead Zone" joke from yesterday. I can see why, and I've deleted the tweet. Apologies.
— Ross Douthat (@DouthatNYT) February 25, 2016
In a recent column, Douthat wrote, “President Hillary” would be a better choice for America than “our own nuclear-armed Berlusconi”.
By the way, latest polls show Trump is the likely Republican candidate nominee for president.
@DouthatNYT U also owe an apology to the candidate whose death you implied would be a good way to stop his campaign. Make it directly.

@DouthatNYT They should delete your job. Calling for the assassination of a political figure. You should be incarcerated. You're a menace.

@Suavetour @DouthatNYT @nytimes when will u be firing this incompetent loser?

@DouthatNYT you sir are a reason that most people do not trust journalists. So sad to sink so low.
— Matt Storms (@matt_storms) February 25, 2016
@DouthatNYT do you realize if you say that about a sitting US president you can go to prison? what's the difference here? Trump is potential

@fibonacciman618 @DouthatNYT actually threatening a candidates life is also a federal crime https://t.co/dtQggZu5Ql (person protected by SS)

@DouthatNYT FAIL… enjoy unemployment and possible five years in prison and fines. FBI & Secret Service take threats like your seriously.

I am kind of laughing because my BIL JUST said this yesterday. Said Trump won’t last two months, because someone would kill him.
I know of a postal worker who said he is voting for Trump because if he gets assasinated they get a day off of work.
#wallslide
OMG
That dude looks like the child molesting Duggar. Josh?
Love that movie with Daddy Sheen btw.
He didn’t actually make a threat, but that’s too much.
And he has a job the next day…
Depending on who the Vice President is IF Trump wins, I can see this. Yup I sure can.
If President Obama made it, Trump can make it. For better or worse.
THESE FOLKS ARE BUTT HURT…AND DON’T HAVE THE SENSE TO SEE THAT THE DEMISE OF THIS COUNTRY AS WE KNOW IT (WHATEVER THAT MEANS…*WE* BARELY GOT FREEDOM OF SPEECH) IS AND HAS BEEN UPON US FOR THEE LONGEST…
MOREOVER STUMP WOULD DEFINITELY USE A BABY AS A DAMN SHIELD…
Ha Ha! That’s a good one.
Why not snatch that rug off his head. He’s made his campaign on saying Obama is hiding his birth certificate I want to know what’s hiding/ living under that rug
I mean trump is an asshole but not to the extent where I feel he needs to be extinct. I’m just wondering why Bernie ain’t soaring over Hillary he was picking up in the polls at one point
$2 MILLION IN CHANGE
So is his hoe ass 3rd wife going to be deported back to where she came from IF he wins?
Maybe Sara Palin lmao u know her mouth is watering to get in that whitehouse
They not about to let her simple ass in. Not at all. They don’t even like her.
You know making Trump a Matyr would be even worst because it could actually unite the GOP and I like them exactly where they are at dysfunctional and divided
Exactly
Stupid.
#Ijustkilledmycareer
Damn you Ross, this is going to do the opposite of what you want !
The NYT is very much a Democratic paper. He aint going noplace by saying that against a Republican candidate. AND Donald picked on his handicapped colleague. Remember? That reporter worked for NYT.
Anybody know if that “to-pay” is made out of brazillian or virgin remy? I’m thinking more on the lines of manged dog, matted bathroom carpet blend.
Anything is possible at this point Keya who expected toupee trump to be doing so well now after his failed attempt a few years ago ?
THIS! THIS right here.
She got immunity lmao she sleeping with with the leedah
Like Billy Balfour mama coat.

Sadly this is true.

*off topic* SO did anyone see that clip of how Mandeeceesesesesese had Yandi, and his other two baby mom’s at dinner together before he turned himself in?
Yeah, I remember. When he did the lil voice or whatever. That was a trip.
Word cause not nary a politician has endorsed his azz, I bet the GOP already had that plan
Her thot ass modeling pics should be used and abused all over the internets by now.
For Jenny!
February 24, 2016 is NATIONAL TORTILLA CHIP DAY
OH
I’m finna watch 2 min clip on that other site right now. BRB
He think he gone be the next Puffy or Peter Gunz, huh?
Wont happen anyway.
There haven’t been any political assassination since the 1960’s (JFK, RFK, MLKing, Malcom X). I think security technology & techniques are so much better these days, it would be hard for anybody to seriously pull of a major assassination nowadays.
3 baby moms total? uggh.
These dudes.
Failure to use a condom can just complicate your life so much. When will these brothas learn?
Reporters stick together. A lot tend to marry other reporters. That type thing. They aint take that ish light at ALL with Trump picking on female reporter either. He probably got high fives in the newsroom this morning lmfaooo.
He’s said he likes Carl Icahn, a pretty well known business leader.
He wants them to bring the kids to the prison to see him. NOT MINE. NOPE. Lord willing mine will NEVER know what the inside looks like, unless they saw it on tv. I would not even be doing that shyt.
it’s more silky… like corn husk strings
Knowing Trump, he’ll clap back with the quickness.
let me logout… I thought this comment was ON TOPIC…
You mean USA political assassinations. Cause an elected leader managed to die in Mexico just last month. But here yeah its pretty tight security wise. Trump and all the other candidates, already have Secret Service security detail.
I tried to upvote this 97 times ’cause, the f’n nerve of him!!!!!
*exasperated arm flail*
Corn silk? I HATE you. No I dont.
Over his orange ass. I purposely limit anything trump especially conversations. Except Bill maher because he keeps the petty alive ??.in a nutshell I wouldn’t care ?
I just saw
Which is the one he cheated on Yandy with?
This doesnt hold water with at least one of them. Yandy said her pregnancies were planned. So…now what?
They murdered her ass with no remorse. They found them though.
So your take is a wave nu-vo?
Not the light skin one with the butch dad. The other one. I am just confused as to how Mandeecess momma don’t see nothing wrong with any of this, and how people are agreeing to take kids to the jail for visits. Naw son. You want to see your son? Keep your ass out of jail. Period.
So he trine to be like Apollo?
Wont eem in office a whole DAY @Harlem. I read that like well dizzayum.
She was pretty. They mad because she adamant about ending corruption and criminal activity. They was like NOPE. Sad
STAY. We love you and we beat @Brendan when you gone.
If Trump becomes president our international realtionships would crumble,at least what’s left of them anyway. I just don’t see him holding that office. Besides the Simpson did an episode on if he won and what the country would be.
My God ! That pink face looks like a southern white grandma puzzy. Disgusting .
The lies she tells. According to her, her and that man broke up and that’s when his other son was conceived. Seeing as how they the same damn age, WHEN did yall get back together? Because on the show she said it was a whole year. That math don’t add up.
Right. Why would you want your kids to see you like that anyway? smdh.
Oh, she looked like she was just trying to get under his skin. I thought she still wanted him LOL
LOL! <3
I think she still does too. They might be fuggin on the low.
On one show she was like my pregnancies were planned. WE talked about it yip yap and the third.
But yes. All of what YOU said is what WE said here. Basically Bish stop line.
the color is spot-on in the pic up top. impressive…
And this clown (Ross) claims to be a ‘Christian’.
He looks slow.
Ha, ha,ha!!!
smdh. Stupid shyt. She got knocked because he got someone else knocked. Period. Basic Bird shyt.
you said he need to ‘stay free’ if he want face-time with the babies?? ROFL!!!!
Are you a Trump supporter?
Ross does claim to Christian.
But so does Trump. Who lied about going to church.
YES! If it was my son, he would not be going. at all. Call him if you like but no I am not willing to bring him and no he can’t come with someone else. Even the Mr. once said “If I ever was dumb enough to go to jail, I would never want the kids to see me like that” It’s selfish.
Oop
I just hope people vote against him. That would kill that ego a tad bit or maybe not….
Trump is a liar and his breath stinks.
Like morning breath from 8 mornings ago
I need one of these
Prolly ain’t played with’em or tossed a ball with’em ONCE when he was free. Now you wanna be prison daddy of the year.
I mean he DID. Got right on busted out by the church he said he went to. A very old church. Like the 1600s-1700s. Was like that fool dont go here regularly. We not sure WHY he lied.
Trump already looks like a decomposing corpse do I don’t see what the problem is here
Yep they are!
You see the look in her eyes? LOL
This
See, Mandeeceeses tries to play this stand up guy roll and I’m not buying it. He is a creep like the other clowns on the show. Mona just hides his shyt.
So… in your mind… lying about going to church is equal to calling for someone’s assassination?
Some people believe they can serve God and act like the devil, simultaneously. ? ?
Nope. But why question someones devotion when the person themselves card already been pulled about theirs? Ross didnt say he wanted somebody to kill them man. He said that he could envision how it ends. Hell folks said the Towers were gonna be bombed years before they were. Did they PERSONALLY ring the terrorists up to come do it though?
Girl why bother.
How many times did you kiss him before you realized his breath was tart?
Yeah. Cause just like he is too gay to understand male/female chemistry, he has no religion or higher power he answers to as he is atheist. So he doesnt get that either.
Don’t joke about killing your political opposition unless you can tolerate jokes about them killing your guy. It’s common sense.
I read that like ‘chile, he already know’ ROFL!
The staning for Trump for someone in here is real…then again I am not surprised…he is white.
Agreed!
Oh yeah, they’re off the chain in Mexico. And a lot of the police there are bought and paid for by the drug lords anyway, so that’s a whole different ballgame over there.
Didn’t have to. He’s a liar, therefore, his breath automatically stinks. Look at his teeth, you can tell some dental hygiene is needed. How many times did you suck his dIck before he left you for his wife?
There we had a college-educated sister getting knocked up by a crimnal who’s under Federal indictment, who was facing up to 20 years Federal time on drug charges.
Smh
#dobetta
Chile the grandmother with them cornrows ain’t finna get no drink thrown on her new suit. I’m scared of her I tell u
You are out of touch if you think assassination stopped in the 1960’s Judge Scalia was just assassinated.
ok., I’m out of touch then.
As far as Judge Scalia, show us your proof and we’ll believe it.
but if you;re just believing some little conspiracy theory out there, you gotta come with something a bit stronger than that.
Give me your definition of a conspiracy theory.
I’m not a sucker. I’m a suckee.
Dead
I don’t know why straight people think all gay men are soft, bottom boys.
Yeah, can’t play like that
Sandra, stop lying.
Douthat is a right winger not a liberal, but you already knew that.
Let’s see that black reporter Jayson Blair made up stories out of whole clothes and was immediately fired and there was a discussion about race and affirmative action.
Judith Miller was basically the stenographer for the Bush Pentagon and pushed all of the administration’s Iraq lies in her columns and got a $2 million severance package from the NYT.
Does that sound like a Democratic organization?
The only time Palin’s mouth ever watered was when Glen Rice dropped his drawers and showed her what a Mandingo was made of.
This reporter is a Republican.
Don’t believe everything Sandra types.
Sometimes she gets carried away.
His family doctor came forward the other day and gave a complete list of his ailments but believe that Obama snuck into his room and smothered him with that pillow.
Are you out of your damn mind?
I work for Uncle Sam and you have to be white or stupid (well the same thing) to vote Republican.
A lot of these damn military veterans dodged a damn bullet when Bush’s proposed personnel system flopped because it would have eliminated veterans’ preference in hiring and firing but these fools are still voting Republican.
I hope the next Republican requires every federal employee to have at least an Associates degree so some of these crackers can be sent home-old dumb racists a$$es.
True but then my next question would be I guess…do you identify more as the “woman” or “man”? It’s too confusing…
Ross is a Republican half or quarter or octoroon wanna-be white dude.
But when he went to church a couple of weeks ago I was expecting to hear that the roof had caved in when he entered.
Do tell.
TMI!!!
*smelling salts*
Truth.
They need to know that at least half of the guys in gyms are gay.
You ain’t right.
Unfortunately churches are full of these people.
And the other half is probably on their way.
Yeah the guys who bring their ‘girlfriends’ or wives look good but their significant others are usually unattractive.
Someone explained that a few years ago.
One reason why I work out at home…other they be hounding me…drooling like animals and I don’t like it…
That’s why the entire statement of people serving two masters deserves a side-eye. ? Oh, ok…right.
Thought it was the other way around…
I said what I said. The NYT is a Democratic paper. They have not endorsed a Republicant presidential candidate since the damn 50s. Not ONE. Far as Jayson Blair, that was a huge scandal in the journalism world period. Black OR white. Far as the BLACK side, NABJ (National Association of Black Journalists) even said his ass shoulda been fired. You NEVER plagiarize the work of ANOTHER journalist. NEVER. Rules number 1 and 2. Never is number one. Ever is number 2.
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/19/opinion/truth-lies-and-subtext.html
Now this would be a juicy story under any
circumstances. But Mr. Blair is black, so there is the additional spice of race, to which so many Americans are terminally addicted.
Listen up: the race issue in this case is as bogus as some of Jayson Blair’s reporting.
Mr. Blair was a first-class head case who was given a golden opportunity and responded by spreading seeds of betrayal every place he went. He betrayed his readers. He betrayed his profession. He betrayed the editors who hired and promoted him. But there was no racial component to that betrayal, any more than there was a racial component to the many betrayals of Mike Barnicle, a columnist who was forced to resign from The Boston Globe in 1998 after years of complaints about his
work.
IDC what’s under Trump’s hair. Ask Trump to release his tax returns, which he refuses to do. Even Ted Cruz said he believes Trump is fabricating his net worth, which I’ve always believed. Trump said he will “eventually” release his tax returns. Someone is probably still cutting and pasting them, so they’re not ready yet.
What people should know is that when Ivanka worked for him, she was not paid a salary. She was paid $1/year and all the dresses she wanted. Hello, tax cheat. And back then, rich folks would put money in trust for their kids as to avoid paying taxes.
Poor white trash is backing Trump. 20% of his supporters also support slavery. Even more want gays and lesbians banned from the United States. How anyone supports someone so ignorant and biased is beyond me.
You’re a man?
He looks retarded like his mother wore tight clothes trying to hide her pregnancy when she carried him.
Lol NO…I’m saying alot of women think that’s a great place to pick up men…I DON’T
Checked out one place when I lived in LA…couldn’t even walk past the counter and was getting hounded. No sir…I come to work out not to be harassed!
That wasn’t my point.
I wasn’t disagreeing that Blair shouldn’t have been fired, but they gave Judith Miller a pass and her columns actually led this country into a war of choice and then paid her to go away.
So why was it ok for the other side to use it as an issue to belittle other black reporters and inject affirmative action into the discussion?
You have a reading comprehension problem.
Ok I go to LA Fitness and l rarely see any guys talking to females unless they came together.
Yoni: How many times did you suck his dIck before he left you for his wife?
*dead*
Damn how did I miss this one earlier?
Men in LA are THIRSTY…I miss it tho lol
NLORM: Yeah. Cause just like he is too gay to understand male/female chemistry
Oh geeze you’re one of them.
Look there isn’t much difference between straight and gay relationships and I think that is what makes some straight people so uncomfortable.
I used to go to a church where the pastor’s wife always made stupid statements like if you’re not married you don’t understand what it’s like or if you don’t have children you don’t understand what it is to be a parent.
(of course all the time she’s ignoring her husband’s gay a$$ or maybe they have an understanding, ha,ha,ha!!)
I’m like no. Being an outsider all of my life I have observed and seen the consequences of bad decisions made by other people and learned not to repeat those mistakes.
Also being straight doesn’t make your life perfect and when I realized that I was able to accept my sexuality more.
Hell I have a straight friend who is in her early 30’s and she’s always talking about getting married and having children and she can’t find a man who fits her criteria and she talks about how horrible her friends’ marriages and relationships are.
So it’s obvious that all people have the same basic issues regardless of color, race, gender or sexual orientation.
No comprehension issue.
Nope its not okay. Any objective article pretty much gonna have some shit that coulda been left out.
But that really happened. Is it correct? Yes. Is it right morally? No. It’s not. Who said it was right? Fella who wrote that tidbit is colored too btw. Makes it even worse when you go back and read it knowing he is black.
Gn to you.
What do you mean left out?
Judith Miller was fronting for the Bush administration.
She was given a megaphone—-the NYT aka the Newspaper of Record and she used it to convince a lot of thoughtful people that we needed to go war with Iraq.
And I know you did NOT use the word ‘colored’
Obviously you’re not black.
Black. Democrat. Single mammy. Educated. Religious. I’m all of it. I’m every woman.
The Republican Party has become a big joke. So sneaky and their thirst for power overshadows any hint of sincerety in helping the American people. It’s no wonder Trump is surfing ahead of the others with ease. Rubio, Cruz, Bush, Carson and the others have no one to blame but themselves. Trump is just an distraction…..intended distraction. The only reason they are so pissed at him is because his antics have people’s attention. Shows how the everyday Republican citizen thinks which is why there will definitely be a Democrat in office after Obama.
You just suck…………at life. *dismissive wave*
Obama had a political background and his puppet strings where all in Politics… The Bushes and the Clinton roll together and Obama was good for the job right now until they got Hilary ready. Who is pulling Trumps puppet strings? Trump and his money! I need someone in the background pulling strings and the only person he came up with is Sarah Palin? But in all fairness… I use to think Obama was the anti-christ when he first ran so who know…(shurgs shoulders)
I said that this morning to my daughter… the chit ain’t funny tho…
Isn’t this REAL terrorism??
Nobody is doing anything but talk??
Okay I see….
????
Trump has the balls to speak the truth and he doesn’t kiss ass like most politicians, I don’t care what anyone says about him, he’s straightforward and actually quite intelligent and doesn’t try to fit in by being politically correct.
Trump is the Joan Rivers of politics he says what everyone’s thinking.
Douthat is a conservative columnist, not a “liberal mainstream journalist”.
He’s a jerk.
Bloody right,the sooner the better
OMG – The hate for Donald Trump is really real.
Ross should get the Times to pay his dental bills to fix his ugly mouth front teeth before they fire his ass for such a disgusting statement. And he calls himself yourself a journalist.
