have a problem with Muslim war heroes, Second Amendment Liberals, Democrat entrepreneurs, gay athletes and other counterexamples of cherished standard wingnut stereotypes. Fortunately, this character flaw is not limited to him. It seems to characterize all his followers.

He was busy rescuing Trump just a few minutes earlier…

As Donald Trump took the stage in Colorado Springs almost an hour after he was scheduled to speak, he blasted the fire marshal, saying “they don’t know what the hell they’re doing,” for not allowing more people in to see the town hall Friday afternoon.

But KRDO-TV, our sister station in Colorado Springs, reports it was exactly the knowledge of Colorado Springs Fire Department officials which allowed him to get to the rally in the first place.

“A mechanical issue involving a rescue mission by the Colorado Springs Fire Department is what caused Donald Trump’s delayed arrival to UCCS on Friday,” KRDO reported Saturday.

Trump was reportedly trapped inside an elevator at The Mining Exchange Hotel with ten other people 30 minutes before the event was scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.

Firefighters were able to open the top elevator hatch and lower a ladder into the elevator so all parties, including Trump, could safely evacuate into the second-floor lobby area of the hotel, KRDO said.

No one was injured.

When Khizr Khan spoke at the convention they cut away to a Benghazi attack ad on Clinton…
But now, surprisingly….there is this:

Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., who served on active duty and is a colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, criticized Trump and Ryan Saturday.

“Slandering a mom and dad who lost their son in service of our country is a new low even for Donald Trump,” Lieu said “What is more surprising is that Speaker Paul Ryan continues to stand by Donald Trump … I call upon Speaker Ryan to do what his heart has been telling him all along and withdraw his endorsement of Donald Trump.”

Karen Meredith, a member of Gold Star Families, a support group for families who lost loved ones in the Iraq War, said Humayun Khan’s parents “showed great courage” by standing up in front of the Democratic convention and that for Trump “to insult their culture by saying that is why she did not speak is offensive.”

“This is an attack on all Gold Star Families,” Meredith also said.

Trump’s comments come a day after he attacked retired four-star general John Allen while holding a rally in front of military aircraft in Colorado. The Republican nominee also slammed a Colorado Springs fire marshal for capping attendance at his event.

We’ve seen this kind of inflexible, uncompromising behavior from the Right before. The lack of moderation, the inability to yield, to give a little, to see the other side for just a moment.To show a little understanding, a little empathy. It’s always got to be their way or the highway. They succeed in turning a minor setback into a catastrophe by their inability to even pretend to humanity.

They are indeed in need of some restraint.
Woop, Wooo!

Peter Guillam: So Karla’s fireproof. He can’t be bought, and he can’t be beaten.

George Smiley: NOT fireproof! Because’s he’s a fanatic! I may have acted like a soft dolt, the very archetype of a flabby Western liberal but I’d rather be my kind of fool than his. One day that lack of moderation will be Karla’s downfall. He’s a fanatic. And the fanatic is always concealing a secret doubt.
