    So he pays off 100 pastors to endorse him and say he's not racist. Cool beans.

    Proud American warrior Donald Trump will meet head on against the Racist Leftist Liberal Lynch Mob.

    The fact that he's talking to a room full of black people proves he's not racist, you racist.

    Some of these pastors rather openly charge money to endorse, so this is not surprising.

    They view it as sort of like being paid to endorse any other product.

    Trump made it pretty clear in the first debate how money works in business and politics.

    From the article:

    'Several black pastors invited to meet with Donald Trump on Monday have denied reports that they had plans to endorse the presidential candidate at the event.'

    Ok, so several of these pastors apparently won't endorse Trump on Monday.

    In any case, The New York Times has published a story saying that 100 black pastors are going to endorse him on Monday. Now several say they will not endorse him. How many will? Will any of them? Did the New York Times completely blow the story?

    Well, we will see on Monday. However, the New York Times is hardly a bastion of partisan conservative journalism, so why would they publish this story if there was not something to it?

    Because they are reporting what the Trump campaign told them. The problem is that the Trump campaign often just lies or makes things up.

    So the New York Times was forced by Trump to report against their will, without doing any due diligence of their own?

    No, that isn't right, because as you can see for yourself in the NY Times story, they interviewed and quoted some of the pastors who are supportive of Trump for the story. Read the story and see for yourself.

    They had a quote from one pastor - the pastor who organized the event and clearly associated with Trump. This was an article built off of a press release - nothing more - it's pretty obvious this section of the times is just covering the campaigns and much of it is passing on info from the various campaigns.

    So far just one - and even that one is vacillating:

    http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...-trump-our-meeting-is-not-an-endorsement.html


    So just admit it you were wrong ok?

    No - they specifically reported that they got their information from the campaign. I think media regularly reports on events given to them by campaigns - since campaigns normally don't lie about things like getting endorsements, I doubt it's SOP to investigate every announcement made by them. The problem is that the Trump campaign is not your normal campaign, and yeah, it's likely that the NYT screwed up by choosing to believe them.

    Some = one. Perhaps you're the one that needs to re-read the story?

    Supposedly the black Pastors were upset that "The Donald" referred to them as Toby and had them hold his coat and gloves.

    Bullworth MOFO!

    Doesn't matter, you know what he meant. Liberal media trying to sabotage a true patriot that pulled himself up by his boot straps.

    Look he tried, blacks are fickle. Their loss.

    So when is the OP going to change the freakin' title of his thread?

    100 Black Pastors and Religious Leaders meet with Donald Trump"

    There, OP. All you have to do is copy and paste. No thanks required.

    First of all, since we have conflicting reports on this now, it only seems appropriate to wait until tomorrow to see what actually happens before jumping to any final conclusions. I really do not understand what the collectivist fetish of liberals is for prematurely ejaculating in this sort of way.

    Also, even if it turns out that none of these pastors either formally endorse Donald Trump, or offer him some degree of support as a group either for him as a candidate, or for certain policy platforms that he is advocating (which would still be quite significant), it will still be only appropriate to leave the title of this thread unaltered as yet another reminder of how shoddy the journalism and how untrustworthy the reporting of the New York Times has become.

    I love how you take a lie by Trump and turn it into an attack on liberals.

    The title of this thread should be,

    "1 Black Pastor and Religious Leader to meet with Donald Trump"

    Seems like you don't mind pre-ejaculating at all, glad to hear you don't want to do it twice.

    It's been a rough weekend for MojoMan. First his bank robber turns out to be a right wing terrorist and now this stuff.
