RE: "Donald Trump supporter defends stance on potential Muslim registry", Megyn Kelly show

in #news8 years ago

I'm pretty sure Mr. Trump was talking about all Muslims. Otherwise it really makes no sense.

I am neat picking you because when it comes to human rights you have to be precise... Hmmm... I should write a post about that.

Sort:  

Well regardless, if it's all Muslims it doesn't change my argument that it's not a matter of "rights" unless we think it's a right to immigrate to another country.

But people (and MSM outlets) commonly make it about religion when the person was talking about a country. So while it could be true that Trump actually said that, I'll wait for a link to it before assuming he said something.

Ya for sure you want to be as clear as possible (not just about "human rights", about anything), but it's possible to use "precision" in a way that isn't useful. If I say John is choking on a hoagie it isn't helpful to quibble about what's a hoagie and what's a sub. The "precision" of whether they officially declared war doesn't seem practical at all, since I'm just making the point that the US has made enemies (and this is true whether it was officially declared as a war or not).
