It's about your behavior in general.
Go ahead, tell me that you and your boy GB don't constantly insult people that you disagree with?
Do I have to pull some some posts from your digest to prove it?
Because I can.

Don't hold yourself out to be a couple of alter boys, because you are far from it.
And to the extent that any insults are hurled your way, you have it coming.

I have not accused you of calling me a WHORE, a SLUT, a PROSTITUTE or a ****, although If I looked I probably could find some examples of you using at least one of those words on me.
But you defended someone who did and does call me ALL of those things, every day.
So that makes you just as bad in my book.

Turkey’s president wants US to extradite exiled Poconos cleric.

Ankara’s Public Enemy No. 1 is a reclusive 75-year-old imam from the Poconos — and Turkey’s president is demanding the United States hand him over immediately.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is blaming the nation’s bloody coup attempt on Fethullah Gülen, a dissident cleric living in exile in a small community 70 miles from New York City.

Gülen, a former ally who left Turkey in 1999, orchestrated Friday night’s uprising from his compound in Saylorsburg, Pa., Erdogan alleged Saturday.

The Turkish leader’s demand that Gülen be promptly extradited threatens to create a rift between the United States and Turkey at a key time during the international offensive against ISIS.

DONALD TRUMP’S GHOSTWRITER TELLS ALL by Jane Mayer

“The Art of the Deal” made America see Trump as a charmer with an unfailing knack for business. Tony Schwartz helped create that myth—and regrets it.

Confessions Of A Dishonest Slob: How The Haters And Losers Got Trump This Close To The White House by McKay Coppins

From political power brokers to the entire island of Manhattan, a varied cast of taunting insiders has inadvertently driven Donald Trump’s lifelong revenge march toward the White House.
This is what it’s like to be one of them.

Tony Schwartz, Trump’s ghostwriter on The Art of the Deal, the seminal guidebook on how to wheel and deal like the Donald, has broken his decades-long silence to tell reporters that the book is “full of falsehoods” and that he is “terrified” of a “sociopath” like Trump becoming president.

Schwartz appeared on Good Morning America Monday and said that the book was rife with falsehoods and that Trump is full of “sociopathic tendencies.”

Art of the Deal Ghostwriter Says Book is ‘Full of Falsehoods,’ Trump is a ‘Sociopath’

Donald Trump has never read a presidential biography and rarely reads anything that's NOT about himself.

When asked by The Washington Post’s Marc Fisher if he has read a presidential biography, Trump said, "I never have. I’m always busy doing a lot."

We’ve known that Trump does not read books for quite a while, so this is not much of a surprise—especially when you also remember that Trump’s knowledge of presidential history is almost entirely self-serving.

But Trump’s ignorance of the history of America’s highest office is still unnerving, as is the fact that, per Fisher’s report, Trump seems to only read about himself:

Murdochs Have Decided to Remove Roger Ailes From FOX News — the Only Question Now Is When

Roger Ailes's tenure as the head of Fox News may be coming to an end.

Rupert Murdoch and sons Lachlan and James — co-chairmen and CEO, respectively, of parent company 21st Century Fox — have settled on removing the 76-year-old executive, say two sources briefed on a sexual-harassment investigation of Ailes being conducted by New York law firm Paul, Weiss.

After reviewing the initial findings of the probe, James Murdoch is said to be arguing that Ailes should be presented with a choice this week to resign or face being fired. Lachlan is more aligned with their father, who thinks that no action should be taken until after the GOP convention this week.

Another source confirms that all three are in agreement that Ailes needs to go.

I worked in the CIA under Bush. Obama is right to not say "radical Islam."

Avoiding the phrase isn't "politically correct." It's strategic.

The recent verbal attacks by the Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump and his supporters on President Barack Obama for avoiding the phrase "radical Islam" in his public pronouncements are simplistic, racially inflammatory — and flatly misinformed.

Settling upon accurate and strategically nuanced terms to describe the post-9/11 enemy is not the product of "political correctness" (contra Trump) or a failure to understand the enemy (contra a much-discussed Atlantic cover story).

Nor are objections to using overly broad terms like "Islamic radicalism" limited to Democrats.

The Bush administration understood the power of words, too.

It concluded that distinctions that may seem small to Christian-American ears make a big difference to the mainstream Muslims we need on our side.

Both the Bush and Obama administration officials have refrained from using "Islamic radicalism" and its variants not because of "political correctness" but because of their nuanced knowledge of the diversity of Islamic ideologies.

The term doesn’t enhance anyone’s knowledge of the perpetrators of terrorism or of the societies that spawn them, and it might hurt us in the global war of ideas.

Trump Vets Adviser: Clinton “Should Be Put In The Firing Line And Shot For Treason”

An adviser to Donald Trump on veterans issues said on Tuesday that Hillary Clinton should be put in a firing line and shot for treason.

New Hampshire state representative Al Baldasaro, who is also a Trump delegate from the state and has appeared with Trump at campaign events, made the comments on the Jeff Kuhner Show.

Update: The U.S. Secret Service says it is investigating Al Baldasaro’s comments.
