I wouldn’t have believed had I not seen the words myself.
Thomas Friedman, op-ed columnist for the New York Times, cleverly called for the outright assassination of presidential candidate Donald Trump in his Tuesday, August 9th article entitled “Trump’s Wink Wink to Second Amendment People.”
Friedman couches the true meaning of his article in the crafty guise of a response about Hillary Clinton as the victim of Trump when, in truth, the real intent is revealed in his final paragraph:
People are playing with fire here, and there is no bigger flamethrower than Donald Trump. Forget politics; he is a disgusting human being. His children should be ashamed of him. I only pray that he is not simply defeated, but that he loses all 50 states so that the message goes out across the land — unambiguously, loud and clear: The likes of you should never come this way again.
There can only be one interpretation of that last sentence — ironic, isn’t it, “last sentence”? — “the likes of you should never come this way again.”
That is the outright violent removal or total elimination, possibly by assassination, of Donald Trump.
And the US media insists that Leftists aren’t violent?

Someone needs to convey to Freidman that if something should happen to Trump he’ll be taking his dirt nap the very next day. Man is a vile piece of Marxist shit.
I’m actually not surprised… Friedman and his ilk think NOTHING about calling for violent death for opponents… sigh
I didn’t get that meaning from the excerpt. It sounded to me like he meant “Someone like you shouldn’t run for President,” or “Someone like you shouldn’t come to New York” or even “Someone like you shouldn’t have been born.”
