Faux outrage alert! Trump supporters have their knickers in a knot because Hillary Clinton had the nerve to say out loud what a lot of people were thinking. That's right, they can dish out the name calling, personal attacks, and insults but they can't take them. EYE don't condone name calling as a rule, but in this case, if the name fits you must accept.I love seeing these #BasketOfDeplorables who love, "telling it like it is" get so upset for being told like it is. pic.twitter.com/AZwXLeGF5V— ✯bennydiego✯ (@bennydiego) September 14, 2016

The definition of deplorable(s)The trouble with bias started long ago, and it was mostly created by Fox News, which began the practice of spewing slanted commentary dressed up like news reports to reinforce a political viewpoint. At the same time, Fox, with its helpers around the conservative media landscape, painted any and all reporting that fell even slightly to the left of the far-right line it created as “liberal bias.”Covered by that broad brush was, of course, facts.
And somewhere in the midst of this massive media shift, factual reporting – the only sort of truly unbiased reporting there is – was replaced by “fair reporting.”
deplorable is defined as an adjective meaning either 'amentable' or 'deserving censure or contempt,' a synonym of 'wretched” or 'abominable.' But Clinton’s use in the plural, deplorables, marks the word as a noun—and deplorable is not defined as a noun in Merriam-Webster dictionaries. (Deplorableness is given as the noun form.)EYE Report
Clinton’s use of deplorables is ambiguous: the word could be defined here as ‘people who are deplorable’ or ‘qualities or characteristics that are deplorable.’ Part of the ambiguity comes from the novelty of the usage, since deplorable is rarely used as a noun in this way.
When you come to political rallies carrying signs of the president dressed as an African witch doctorwith a bone through his nose, or send around e-mails depicting the White House lawn covered in watermelons, or throw “ghetto parties” at your fraternity house, replete with blackf ace makeup, your claims of interracial camaraderie are not merely irrelevant to the suggestion that you just might be a racist, more to the point, they are blatant effing lies. The people who claim they have black friends and still do this kind of thing are liars, plain and simple. Every one of them. No exceptions.H/T Mother Jones
