Seddique Mateen, the father of Omar Mateen, was sitting behind the presidential candidate at the event in Kissimmee, Florida.

[FONT=&quot]Clinton, in the Central Florida city to talk about jobs, was actually paying tribute to the victims of the Pulse nightclub massacre when local NBC affiliate WPTV noticed that one of the rally-goers seated prominently behind the Democratic presidential nominee was Seddique Mateen, the mass shooter’s father.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The elder Mateen became the subject of widespread media attention in the aftermath of the attack on the gay nightclub killed 49 people. He initially made headlines as the horrified parent of a mass killer who immediately expressed shock and condemnation of his son’s actions. But he also generated attention through his active social media presence and Afghan satellite TV show, in which he posed as the president of Afghanistan and expressed support for the Taliban. His critical views on homosexuality also drew notice.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]After the rally, WPTV caught up with Mateen, who showed off a sign he made for the event and said, “Hillary Clinton is good for United States versus Donald Trump, who has no solutions.”[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Asked how he felt during Clinton’s comments about his son’s victims, Mateen simply stated, “We’ve been cooperating with the federal government, and that’s about it.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Clinton’s campaign did not respond to Yahoo News’ immediate request for comment on Mateen’s visible presence at the rally as well as his support for the candidate, but a campaign spokesperson told WPTV in a statement that the “rally was a 3,000-person, open-door event for the public. This individual wasn’t invited as a guest and the campaign was unaware of his attendance until after the event.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Mateen offered no further indication that either his attendance or prominent placement at the rally had been coordinated with the Clinton campaign, telling WPTV, “It’s a Democratic party, so everyone can join.”
As for why he chose to attend the event, less than 30 miles from where his son carried out the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, Mateen said, “ wish that my son had joined the Army and fought ISIS. That would be much better.” He also scoffed at the suggestion that others might be surprised to see him there.
“Why should they be surprised?” he asked. “I love the United States, and I’ve been living here a long time.”

Hillary supporters.....wake up!

This Cockroach and others like him do not get to say what other people do with their lives. And they are never going to stop trying to dictate how people live their lives and given the chance they would kill gays for being gay.

Whatever one's views on homosexuality are people should be able to agree that Muslims do not get to decide how other people live their lives and murder those that they disagree with.

Life will be Less than it could have been, as long as Cockroaches like this worthless piece of shit are allowed to remain on this planet.

They are awake, they are part of it.

Cut from the same cloth, Indeed.

In other news Charles Manson and David Duke have endorsed Trump. These kinds of stories are as retarded as the "Obama Golfs too much" articles. Policies should be what matter, not who George Zimmerman is voting for.

problem is Reno, when Duke supports Trump they demand he disavow (he should) but when this scum is for Hillary, it's not her fault...

Hillary asked Charles Manson to be her running make, but he declined saying "She would make me look bad"

Yeah either way it's retarded. But also the father has already disavowed the killings, so it's a little different. He's not exactly a terrorist.

Yeah I've been on it the last few weeks. I apologize in advance, cause you guys now get Runmaker's stuff down here, once he returns from his vacation.

Either way it's all just reality TV at this point. Not much talk of real issues.

Yes!

But there is hope, I've heard they are building three podiums for the first debate coming up. Hmm I wonder why they're building three?

I asked you this in the RR but you probably didn't see it, why do you think bitcoin endures with no government backing?

It is backed by nothing.

I'm not saying I am extremely bearish on it, I just haven't heard many good bull arguments yet. And I've looked...

And even a pro-crypto currency argument seems to overlook future competition.

I don't think money has to be backed by anything, for me it's just an exchange of goods and services. The goods and services is what have value and what gives it value. So essentially you aren't trading bitcoin, you are trading a promise. For me the main thing a currency needs to be successful, is that it can't be counterfeited. Counterfeiting is a currencies biggest enemy, which is why gold is such a good medium for transfer of wealth because it's rare and can't be counterfeited. (When you really think about it Gold is just a rock) Bitcoin works because it's hard to counterfeit, so people respect the promise. That's just my opinion though, and I'm by no means an expert on the subject.

Really when you think about it, the US dollar doesn't have value because it's backed by the government. It has value because it's backed by the biggest economy the world has ever seen.

Of course that is why USD has value.

But bitcoin doesn't have all that economic might behind it is the point. It was just digitally mined by some kid in his underwear and people thought it was a cool idea.

I like the ease of use and inability for gov't tracking but I just don't really see it ever doing more than playplal. Small potatoes like the USFL.

Well, the more people that use it and trade it the more valuable it will become. If it can't be counterfeited or manipulated people will trust it. We have money not because it's worth something, but because it's a means of trading valuable things.
