    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was dumped from a prime speaking role to an important gathering of conservative activists on Friday for his criticism of Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly after a combustible debate performance.

    Trump was scheduled to deliver the keynote address on Saturday night at a conference in Atlanta organized by Red State, an influential conservative group.

    Red State chief Erick Erickson said he had disinvited Trump from the event because of what he described as "demeaning" remarks about Kelly who was one of three moderators during the first major Republican debate on Thursday night in Cleveland.

    "While I have tried to give him great latitude, his remark about Megyn Kelly was a bridge too far," Erickson said, adding he had invited Kelly, one of Fox's highest profile anchors, to attend his conference in Trump's place.

    My take - It's a shame because Trump actually was winning me over until his behavior and words after the debate. He lacks the class to be my president. The rats are fleeing the sinking ship. No potential president needs to speak about a journalist or citizen they way Trump has spoken to Ms. Kelly. Adios, Trump !

    I would have voted for pre-debate Trump over Hillary and even said so. I still won't vote for Hillary, but I'm also not going to vote for Trump. The nation needs a better president than either candidate.

    We've had a President say if he had a son it would look like a criminal.

    We've had a President say he has a pen and phone and will use them to ignore our Constitutionally established structure of government.

    We've had a President speak words honoring Islam while the bodies of Americans soldiers slain in the name of Islam were still warm.

    We've had a President offering apology on our behalf to our enemies for having the tenacity to defend ourselves against them.

    --

    I'm sorry Channe but Trumps comment doesn't match up against these.

    What Trump said in a Facebook post: "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever."

    Political correctness is a plague.

    Its an escape route for politicians to avoid talking about the core of important issues by giving them wordsmith'ed invisibility cloaks, and its a tool of suppression to keep regular citizens from being able to express their opinions.

    If anything Trump's comment was absolutely Presidential because he stood up for himself when somebody was giving him crap.

    What would an a-typical politician done when a member of the media pressed them on an issue?

    They would have smiled through their teeth, tugged at their tie, and rehashed their talking points.

    And if they had said something off-the-cuff that people found "offensive" they would have rushed to the nearest editorial to issue some fake apology statement.

    But what did Trump do when they brushed him off, did he cave?

    Hell no, he called the PCism for what it was and told them to stick it.

    This is what we want in our next President.

    I like Eric Erickson, hes actually my favorite political pundit, but I wonder if uninviting Trump from the debate was his call or was it a suggestion from above designed to stop the Left's run-away "Republican war on women" train that was about to leave station.

    You are wasting your time explaining your stand to one of his bots, remind me of some past candidate fans that get all nasty because you dare point out that their God has some major flaws.

    Good to see some Conservative groups still have scruples and standards, I think the more Trump speaks the more often this is going to happen to him. In the end he will blame everyone but himself for his failed bid at hosting a reality show from the Oval Office as will his bots.

    BS, Trump has a Long history of saying outrageous comments many of which reflect badly on his character and has nothing to do with the PC excuse some of his bots keep trying to use. The man is not a Presidential Material, plain and simple.

    I agree with you on this, but this has nothing to do with the fact we expect a certain level of respect, honor, integrity, and class from a presidential candidate. Trump has good ideas and he's made billions of business savvy, but he lacks self control. He doesn't come off like a political leader - at least not since after the debate. He comes off like an easily offended child.

    It's the same guy, putting on the same act. He was as thin skinned and petulant before the debate, as he is today.

    The only real difference is that he insulted someone you apparantly like.

    Donald Trump is even less qualified to be president than Ross Perot was.

    but he's wanting to be our president, not some rogue business tycoon. Don't you want the standards to be higher for the position ?

    Funny. Perot was the only person who ran back then that actually knew what nafta and other free trade would do to our working and middle class. And he was utterly right when he tried to tell us what that giant sucking sound would be. It seems the men who you see as qualified shipped our job creation engine offshore, and we have almost 100 million americans who will never have a living wage job again. Yet you say Trump, like Perot is not qualified? Like I said, funny.

    So Trumps goes to the debate, and I am expecting the panel to ask him questions about what will he do with free trade, and how will he address our (*)(*)(*)(*) poor economy when it comes to working people. And what do I hear instead? I hear the panel engage in superficial bull fecal matter. I see a panel trying to go after Trump, in order to get him discredited, on personal issues. That debate was not a debate, it was a farce, reality tv, and an insult to the American voter.

    Once Trump saw what kinda debate this was gonna be, he figured he may as well play their own game and one up them. If the moderators were not after a serious debate, that was fine with him, and he then could do what he does very well. Call a spade a spade.

    Sorry, but you're the one who said he liked these antics before the debate, not me.

    Trump is a celebrity candidate. He's a clown act. He's doing this for all the free publicity he can get, which he will leverage to draw investors to his real estate deals.

    He's not interested in being president. He's punking folks like you for the attention he can get.

    And Fox promoted his celebrity and used him to draw an audience to the debate. This isn't politics, it's show biz.

    Alas, much of conservative media, and increasingly all media, has gone for the show biz model. Professional standard of journalism do not exist at Fox or in the right wing blogpshere and are frighteningly low everywhere else.

    There was a time when no major political party would have even considered Sarah Palin as a national candidate. But her candidacy begat the GOP clown car, and begat Donald Trump.

    Their act is almost identical. And they appealed to exactly the same audience.

    No, Trump isn't Presidential. By my standards, Bush and Kasich are the only candidates up there who are remotely Presidential.

    Mistake for the GOP.

    They just waved the constitution and the flag.

    1) Trump said that he would Bomb ISIS oil wells and refineries to cut their incomes to almost zero.
    2) Trump said he would stop new illegals by having Mexico build a Wall.
    3) Trump said he would force all illegals out, but immediately bring back in the good workers with a Plan for identifying and green-carding them permanently.
    4) Trump said he would lock up all criminals and immediately start sending them back to Mexico.
    5) Trump would end sanctuary cities.
    6) Trump said he would end Obamacare.
    7) Trump said he would create jobs,... a number one priority.

    Trump said a lot right there.

    I think he will make the day for Hillary and we'll see how that works out for America.

    Precisely so, and that lack of self-control where his temper and ego are concerned is a worrying prospect in a potential president. The deal is though that this sort of thing is what Trump ALWAYS has done in all his past efforts at a presidential run. He motors his mouth with a disconnected brain until finally he says something that not even Fox News or serious political backers can shrug off. Ta-da!

    Ann Coulter Says Latinos Have "Cultural Acceptance" Of Child Rape

    Source: Cosmopolitan August 7, 2015 6:29PM GMT

    Ann Coulter is at it again. In May, she said that Mexican immigrants are "more dangerous than ISIS," and now in the opening paragraph in her most recent Daily Caller column, she writes that Latinos have a "cultural acceptance of child rape that doesn't even exist in the most dysfunctional American ghettos."

    Yes — she really wrote that. And her piece gets worse from there, as she goes on to say that not only do Latinos condone child rape and abuse, but that Latina women help "the men rape kids."
    "In the entire American media, there have been more stories about a rape by Duke lacrosse players that didn't happen than about the slew of child rapes by Hispanics that did because Democrats want the votes and businesses want the cheap labor. No wonder they hate Trump."

    According to Coulter, who cited a few cases of rape and incest perpetrated by Latinos (some of whom were undocumented), when a crime is "this bizarre, it's not anecdotal," and must be indicative of an entire group of people. Child rape is a horrific crime that should absolutely be taken seriously, but it happens everywhere, and is certainly not unique to "Latino culture." To argue otherwise is just offensive.

    This is why we must have a TRUMP-COULTER IN 2016 ticket for the GOP

    Cute did you know he claims that everyone one of them flirted with him even if they did not actually know it, the guy is a major Narcissist. Psst anyone willing to spend lots of money can surround himself with good looking women, without it he would be noting more than a Troll to most women.

    It would be the Dream Ticket, for the Democrats.

    Excellent points.
    That is why they censor speech. Insults like bigot, racist or xenophobe are acceptable, because they attack Western Culture.

    There is a distinct difference between being politically correct and being a gentleman. Trump need not be politically correct,.. but he is certainly NOT a gentleman.

    Interesting. One "tweet" and BOOM......Trump's toast? And, Kelly is invited to replace Trump? Kelly's not a candidate, she's a TV news personality who singled out & attacked Trump like a pit bull during a nationaly televised debate. And one could argue some questions she posed and the way which asked them to Trump where purposed to demean him. Yet, only Trump's "tweet" about Kelly are singled out as demeaning. Odd.
    I don't think Trump's "tweet" was in good taste, but I'd hardly call it a disqualifier either. It's Erickson's gig though and it appears he's decided Trump stepped to far over the line this time. OK, I can respect that. But replacing Trump with Kelly just seems intentionally done to appease the "Rep war on women" crowd as much as punish Trump. That I have no respect for.
