CONFIRMED: Trump won't take part in Fox's GOP debate

Trump's Fox News debate boycott "the most brilliant move of the campaign"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4TD-FOIPsg

Ezra Levant of TheRebel.media says Donald Trump is going to be the next president of the United States. Some polls show 20% of Democrats would cross over to support Trump. For the first time since Reagan, you have an inspiring candidate in the eyes of non-political people. MORE http://www.therebel.media/ezralevant

This is the best commentary that I have heard so far on Trump and his brilliance at thumbing his nose at Fox. Ezra is spot on.

I am also really disappointed in Mark Levin's continuing rants against Trump. It is so out of bounds. He is losing half of his audience. At least Rush is trying to keep it balanced, whatever he really thinks.

This may be why. Mark Levin admitted the son of his fiance’ is a full time staffer for Senator Ted Cruz.

What a set up by FOX NEWS!!! Trump was way too smart for them. HA!

Meet Fox News special guest for the front row of the debate.. CAIR aka. ISIS.. have fun. It should be a BLAST https://twitter.com/jane_spillane

Fox decided to turn the debate into an extreme version of "Reality TV". Trump knew where that would go. Good luck to the suckers that decided to be poked and pummeled by participating in it. Fox jumped the shark with this one. They have joined Glen Beck. Obama and Hillary have to be delighted. The DNC could not have set it up better.

I am starting to think that Mr. Trump has deep sources in the Mainstream Media and maybe several other institutions, carefully and quietly cultivated over decades.

It was funny yesterday listening to Hannity's radio show. He was desperately trying not to get on the bad side of his employer while still not turning off Trump supporters.

I heard it in his interview with Trump's son in the last hour of his show.

Hannity's connection with Fox is turning into a liability for him. The TV show has to be very lucrative for him so he is between a rock and a hard place.

Cruz is the biggest snake oil salesman I have seen lately.

Of course, YMMV.

"If [Roger Ailes] said jump, the Bush White House jumped. Now, fast forward all these years, Donald Trump [...] is basically telling Fox News: 'You are so irrelevant to my campaign, I will not even show up at your debate.'" Tonight on PBS, journalists Gabriel Sherman and Megan Murphy report on Donald J. Trump's unprecedented feud with Fox News' Roger Ailes.

I read or heard Trump say he's thinking about getting his own cameras, mics, reporters, etc. He is so fed up with the lies from MSM, he can get his own. This ought to be making the MSM shake in their boots and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if he hired people like Hannity, O'reilly, Greta and whoever else that's told the truth about him. LOL And he'll offer better wages than Fox ever gives.

Yep...taking down Fox, CNN, NBC one notch at a time. And he won't do it in a hurry. Have you ever noticed when he walks on stage to his rally's he walks slow, gracefully and totally sure of himself and those around him.

I really need to quit FOX NEWS altogether. They ARE the ones behind that curtain!

D.C. Whispers Confirmed: Fox News planned Trump “kill shot” at upcoming GOP debate:

http://dcwhispers.com/d-c-whispers-c...gAzAzfEQAhu.99
Posted on January 27, 2016 by DCWhispers

News broke late yesterday that confirmed an earlier report here regarding Fox News’ plan to try and do significant damage to the Donald Trump political campaign during the scheduled Thursday GOP debate moderated by Fox News.

(ABOVE: Muslim activist Nabela Noor was chosen by Fox News to participate in Thursday’s GOP debate. Noor has publicly condemned Donald Trump and likened him to Adolph Hitler. Previous reports also indicate she condemns the United States as a racist nation that suffers Islamophobia which is largely responsible for inciting terror attacks against it. Fox News has yet to explain why it would allow such a person to participate in a nationally-televised GOP debate despite requests to do just that.

Part of the moderating panel is network personality, Megyn Kelly, a figure with whom Donald Trump has sparred with over the last few months following a question many felt to be terribly out of line and biased in which she accused Trump of hating women. In the last few weeks heading into the this week’s Fox News debate, the Trump campaign communicated to Fox News their concerns over Kelly being part of the moderating panel. Then additional information is alleged to have reached the Team Trump regarding Fox’s intention to use the last debate prior to the Iowa Caucus to try and influence that state’s Caucus outcome.

~ ~ ~

Now this from our friends at Breitbart News published late yesterday:

Google and Fox TV Invite Anti-Trump, Hitler-Citing, Muslim Advocate to Join Next GOP TV-Debate

“Fox News and Google have invited three YouTube personalities to ask questions at the Jan. 28 GOP debate — including a Muslim advocate (Nabela Noor) who describes Donald Trump as a bigot and who visually portrayed him as being in agreement with national socialist Adolf Hitler.”

Noor has also blamed what she deems to be America’s anti-Muslim culture for past, present, and possible future terrorist attacks against the United States, a nation she says suffers from “Islamophobia.”

It seems quiet clear that Fox News’ intent to allow such a radical, militant-styled Muslim advocate to participate in the GOP debate was to set up a moment intended to challenge and embarrass Donald Trump. While it is far from certain Ms. Nabala would have succeeded in doing so, it goes to the network’s intent. Fox News was not merely playing the role of moderator, it was acting as an anti-Trump activist.

Breitbart News has attempted to get a response from Fox News representatives regarding the above information.

So far, the news network has refused to respond as rumors now swirl that staff directly associated with Megyn Kelly played a role in Noor’s selection to be a participant in the debate.

Readers can access the full Breitbart News report on this subject: HERE

Kudos to them for uncovering what appears to be decidedly underhanded and manipulative plot to damage the current GOP frontrunner. It will be interesting to see if any of the other candidates condemn Fox News for what was so clearly attempted.

This has nothing to do with voters who support or don’t support Donald Trump’s campaign. It has everything to do with a news media giant attempting to make that choice for voters via the direct manipulation of a presidential debate. That is an action worthy of widespread condemnation regardless of one’s political loyalties.

Also I would swear that from some remarks that Mark Levin has made in regards to Trump/Cruz that he visits this forum for insight into what the "very engaged" are thinking and saying.

Such a long time to hear nothing from him.

I to am disappointed with Mark. Not as bad as I am with Beck, but disappointed none the less.

Rush seems to be the only one that is not showing any partiality, IMHO.

 

[evenso]

If you can't handle Fox News, you can't handle Vladimir Putin

As I posted on another thread, if we saw our leader stand up from the negotiating table, walking away from Putin (or any other leader who was strong arming America) because he knew it was a bad deal, we would stand and cheer. THIS is exactly what our country needs now, not the situation we have currently where we give our enemy $1.5b and they have our soldiers on their knees with guns to their heads within hours.

Trump not only wrote "The Art of the Deal" but because he understand these kinds of things, he is the successful billionaire he is. He knows exactly what he's doing.

So, about the "special guests" who may be asking questions at the debate...

I read that one is an illegal immigrant who has a you tube channel on beauty issues.

Then I read that it would be unconstitutional for her to ask questions of the candidates - much less BE THERE - because she is illegal. And that one of the candidates on stage, in response to her question, should call for her deportation (yeah, like that's going to happen).

Then I read that she joined our military and spent time in the sandbox, and that THAT somehow makes her a citizen.

Please educate me, I've apparently lost my mind

Now, JMHO, if Fox decides not to have her/them there and asking questions, it will be because her/their questions were to be aimed at Trump.

 

[brokenwings]

We really are seeing Trump trying to take our country back from the evil ones who are trying to destroy it and the evil ones doing whatever they can to try and bring Trump down. Anyone who listens to them or believes their lies are stupid in my book. If they can't see what is in their face now and brought out of the dark by Trump himself then they are traitors! I am sick or everything right being wrong and being a Christian is bad and Islam is good!!

 

[Melodi]

I have no idea in her particular case, but there IS and has been for DECADES a pathway for young people to become US Citizens by joining and serving for a certain amount of time in the US Military. It isn't a slam dunk, but a lot of people have done this over the last 50 years or so; but again I have no information on her personal situation.

As for the rest of this, I think Trump just out Foxxed, Foxx big time; I am not sure he can legally open his own media channel (while running) but I don't thing anything stops him from hiring his own camera people, interviewers etc and essentially use his rallies to make You Tube campaign videos and the like; as well as broadcasting in real time as he can afford to do this.

I would venture a guess that Trump has ears in FOX's hen house...probably close to the top perch.

It would explain how he is ahead of the game sometimes.

Levin was horribly nasty to anyone who questioned 0bunghole's birf cert or his non-eligibility. "Birther kooks" and worse. I lost all respect for him at that point. I know all the media etc were threatened, but he could have said nothing but no, he had to support the freak-in-chief and basically support 0bunghole despite the obvious forgery and non-NBC status.

Another thing that I have noticed is that not one of them mentions Rupert Murdoch's name even though he is referenced all over the internet on websites that they frequently quote from. In fact Murdoch is at the center of this attempted "kill shot".

Rush, Hannity, and Levin must fear him greatly. Hannity I can understand as Murdoch is his employer. The other two must figure that Murdoch could come after them in some fashion even so.

GOP Debate’s Islamic-Advocate Questioner Also Is A Bernie Sanders Supporter

by Neil Munro 28 Jan 2016


The Islamic advocate and fashion-blogger invited by Google and Fox to question the GOP’s 2016 candidates at the Jan. 28 debate is also a supporter of far-left 2016 candidate, Democrat Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Nabela Noor tweeted a picture of herself wearing a red Sanders sweatshirt on Jan. 16.

On January 25, she also posted a picture of Sanders supposedly marching in a pro-equality demonstration with the Rev. Martin Luther King.

Noor, who describes herself as an advocate for Islam, earlier posted a video portraying Adolf Hitler in agreement with Trump.

For more about Noor and her role in the Jan. 28 GOP debate, read this Breitbart.com article.

Noor’s affiliation with far-left Sanders showcases the post-1960s radical political shift among America’s far-left advocacy groups.

Before the 1960s, these left-wing groups pushed for Marxist-style economic policies they thought would aid poorer, working-class Americans, regardless of color, by transferring wealth and power from industry and factory-owners.

But after the 1960s, the far-left leaders gradually shifted their focus away from economics and towards cultural policies. Under this “cultural Marxism,” progressives believed they would aid racial and sexual minorities — and now Islamic minorities — by transferring cultural power and status from ordinary Americans, especially from white working-class Americans and away from individualistic-minded Christian churches.

Many large business groups and very wealthy individuals have welcomed and funded this shift from ‘Economic Marxism’ to ‘Cultural Marxism.’

Since then, the left’s culture-war against ordinary Americans’ long-evolved, equality-promoting and pro-ideal culture has forcibly imposed “diversity” on society, which has divided Americans into angry factions and sharply reduced the pre-1970s political pressure for higher taxes on very wealthy individuals.

The shift has also caused the Democratic Party to fight for increased immigration, much to the delight of business groups and Wall Street, who make enormous financial gains from an increased inflow of cheap workers and welfare-supported immigrant customers. Those economic gains flow to many major companies, including Google and Fox, who are producing the Jan. 28 debate.

Because of this divide-and-rule diversity strategy, progressive Democrats — including President Barack Obama — are also encouraging the migration of devout Muslims and their theocratic political leaders into the United States.

The resulting spike in jihad attacks, the migrants’ high use of welfare and the spread of their religious ideology — which stigmatizes woman and sexual minorities and ordinary non-Muslim Americans that are the base of the Democrats’ disparate political coalition — and progressives’ increasingly shrill contempt for Americans who dislike of Islamic ideology, are just the costly civic side-effects imposed on Americans by progressives’ reach for political power and social status.

Muslim advocates are useful for progressives because they rally immigrant Muslim voters and they help to spike American social conflicts, which boosts the civic conflict, or “diversity,” that benefits business groups and far-left, secular, anti-Christian, progressive leaders. For example, Noor’s anti-Trump video initially displayed a fake twitter image claiming that Trump tweeted “Muslims should be treated no differently than sex offenders.”

She subsequently edited the image and accusation from her video.



Last night I added an edit to a video of mine. Thank you to everyone who brought this error to my attention. pic.twitter.com/VmgUxFLjdF

— NABELA (@NabelaNoor) January 28, 2016

The revised video does not include either of the supposed tweets. Noor, the Islamic advocate, did not apologize to Trump.

In contrast, legal and illegal immigration by Latinos causes much less social conflict per person because Latinos share a Christian culture with Americans.
