The frenzy over swine flu has spurred another potentially deadly outbreak: racist hate-mongering against Mexicans and Mexican-American immigrants. Conservative journalists and scared American citizens are looking for someone, anything to blame for this still small global outbreak. With no proof to support his beliefs, California radio jock Michael Savage said, "Make no mistake about it: Illegal aliens are the carriers of the new strain of human-swine avian flu from Mexico." He also added that it would be a good idea to avoid contact with illegal immigrants, insisting that people who eat out are "morons who eat in restaurants with illegals all over the kitchen." Fox News columnist Michelle Malkin also weighed in with frightening commentary: "I've blogged for years about the spread of contagious diseases from around the world into the U.S. as a result of uncontrolled immigration." Rampant misinformation has even motivated the ALIPAC, or Americans For Legal Immigration, to ask Congress to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border in order to contain the swine flu. And talk show host Neal Boortz has gone so far as to suggest Islamic terrorists created the deadly flu strain and introduced it to Mexicans as a sneaky way to spread it to the U.S. "What better way to sneak a virus into this country than to give it to Mexicans....then spread a rumor that there are construction jobs here, and there they come," Boortz stated. Perhaps the scariest thing is that these ignorant people with large platforms aren’t feeling any repercussions from their comments. Why are certain public figures allowed to be so openly racist and hateful? Is it because many people find an odd comfort in placing the blame on a group they consider to be outsiders? Members of the Latino community are marginalized enough as it is, and this level of hate-talk is only making things worse. "It's a virus. Any of us can get it,” says Lalo Rios, a radio DJ in Reno, Nevada. “Closing the borders is not going to help. Pointing the finger at certain groups isn't going to help anything either.”

is boortz a Freeper?
The smooth criminal transition from Bush/Cheney to Obama
Not a clue, but I wouldn't be surprised.
NO, Mizz Parrish. The scariest thing is that the ignorant people who work for the government aren't feeling any repurcussions from years of treason and destroying Freedom in this country. So take your nazi thought police ideals and shove them up your ass. It's easy to miss the real issue when articles with this kind of psyops are published.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition Not since Eisenhower has a president been willing to take on the illegal/big business lobby. That has left us with a fractured America and a budding civil war. No American is going to surrender our national heritage to a band of traitors without a fight.
Just round up and deport all the racist LaRaza swine. As you noted, Ike Eisenhower was our last president willing to enforce the law.
Lets also boot the non Hispanic loons who endorse this insanity. The Afro- Leninists, and their white imps, also have to go, else the mistake will repeat itself.
Hi, Y'all~ The Swine Flue is a valid reason why this nation should practice genocide. The sick wetbacks cross into our country with their diseases, poverty, crime and corruption, and we should give them one of two options: Leave or be buried here. That is my idea of immigration reform. Do I hear an amen? RO
What I read is more about how bankrupt "conservative" talk show hosts are, there is no question that illegals bring diseases, poverty, crime and corruption however as usual these morons are just looking for someone to hate rather than trying to figure out if the flu scare a manufactured crises. If it were not for these "dick heads" America would not of declared a "war on terror" or passed the "Patriot Act".Conservatives my ass they collectively have destroyed any hope that those that hold true conservative values will ever be elected again
I agree with the first part (and find nothing wrong with this country being "fractured" and I'm sure most of the other countries of the world agree), but as for the second, to fight an actual civil war, you'd need the "dissidents" to be able to field some sort of fighting force. Our local teabaggers (who are having another gathering on July 4) are mostly old white guys who wouldn't last very long in a firefight. Some of them can barely walk. All the old war wounds have caught up with them. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I'm not sure we have ever had a 'true conservative' elected in this nation, and the prospects of never having one elected is fine by me. They can stick they religion, sexual morals, and hypocrisy where the sun doesn't shine. Give me a small government guy, one who lives by the Golden Rule, and I'll be just fine.
That wasn't the case where I was, but to your point, I'll take the aging guy who has had enough, over younger guy who sits back and watches. How it grow is to be determined, but I find it funny that such a feeble effort has attracted all the right enemy.
There are no real "enemies" of the teabaggers, because it is such a pathetic "movement" to begin with. These people have no organized political party anymore with which to threaten the one in power. Bushco succeeded in making it NOT COOL even for old white guys to call themselves GOPers. Around here, it is obvious that the TBs are only united in who and what they hate. They have no "plan" otherwise. The GOPers for the last 30 years have set out to prove that the federal government is the problem and that it can never operate effectively. They DID prove that, but it seems in retrospect that this was mostly because THEY were in charge of the government for most of that time and deliberately set out to sabotage and corrupt the federal government from within. They certainly never set out to make it "smaller."

And who would that be?
By all means. Why not necklacing while you're at it or whacking off some limbs? How about black buses and cattle cars and death camps? Honestly, some folks take things into their mouths that are so foul and reckless that they are scarce to be believed. They'd crap their pants if they saw these things take place before their eyes.

"Satan / Cheney in "08" You talking about Republicans not conservatives the Rush Hanniety wing if you will....what these morans don't get if one is going preach moral values you better have a degree of morals that exceeds expectations of those of us with average moral values anything less won't fly Heres another one wish it would happen to most if not all those Bush butt kissers Severin suspended for comments about Mexican immigrants Jay Severin, the fiery right wing talk show host on Boston's WTKK-FM radio station, was suspended yesterday after calling Mexican immigrants "criminaliens," "primitives," "leeches," and exporters of "women with mustaches and VD," among other incendiary comments. Heidi Raphael, a spokeswoman for the station, said Severin had been suspended indefinitely from his afternoon drive-time show. She declined to say which of his comments - made since an outbreak of swine flu was linked to Mexico in recent days - sparked the suspension.
Reminds me of the story of the two BULLS. LOL. I'll stick with the older bunch. More wisdom imo.
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that its people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms....The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson
Abraham 'Honest Abe' Lincoln proved that FedGov, under strong GOP leadership, can run roughshod over your rights and your states' rights.
_________________________________________________________________________ I heard about Severin. He should have known better since his check was cut by a corporation that values PC over brutal honesty, however crude.
Racists? I don't know about that. Isn't that a little harsh? I mean, just because people don't like niggers, spics, wops, Catholics, faggots, kikes, crackers, sandniggers, towelheads, chinks and gooks doesn't necessarily make them haters.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em :)
That's only genocide if leaving == death. As far as I know, there's only one group on the planet that loves us so much.
Everything lasts and everything ends. Longer than our children could ever imagine, faster than we could ever imagine. Children are the stuff of life; god was right to deny us immortality.
and this is before legislation...

Relax Francis. Americans didn't even deport blacks when they had a good shot at it.

One could make a similar argument without getting into the gutter...as for the hate speech thing I don't it will pass the senate in its present form to easy for the court to over rule it... even liberal judges will have a problem with it
A reading of the founders intent on the 1st amendment was responsible speech not any speech
Now lets define "responsible." I'd like to see any info regarding this, Robby.
Jeeze, that's an EASY one. "Responsible" is whatever the jews say it is. Have you decided if you're being stumbled over or kicked yet? Even a dog can make that determination, but no, not us clever Uhhhmerkkins.
Francis, my ass. If you don't fucking mind, while I defend the right of anyone to say anything here that's not libelous, let me say that genocide of anybody is nothing to joke about. I find it even more objectionable when some yahoo from out of nowhere suggests such a course of action in apparent earnest. I don't believe that this tenor of discussion is what Christine had in mind when she established this forum. They can round up all the illegals and give them a ticket home for all I care, but bumping people off ain't an option. I don't like to leave nonsense like this unanswered because comments like this are fodder for OUR ENEMIES. They love it when jerks like this take advantage of forums like this to post swill. One wonders whence they come. Cheers.
Join 2x4 Tuesdays & protect your RKBA. huh? what Severin said would fall under the category of hate speech, not irresponsible speech like yelling fire in a crowded room. and how is it you've interpreted the founders meaning to be responsible speech? this doesn't even sound like you!
The smooth criminal transition from Bush/Cheney to Obama
That's a totally uncalled for comment and I take exception to it's logic and truthfulness. I abhor you.
Nonsense, they hate non-travellers just for drawing breath. PV was right, Abe Lincoln was going to ship the 'chuckers back to Afreaka where they belonged.
_________________________________________________________________________ Without digging through reams of documents freedom of speech was a contested issue between Jefferson Mason Madison against the Federalists and Hamilton in large part because of the difference's when it came to the subject of seditious speech....even today there are some US states that still have blasphemy laws on the books from the founding days
History is a bitch blaspheme laws in America were only overturned in 1972 Chapter 272 of the Massachusetts General Laws states, for example: Section 36. Whoever willfully blasphemes the holy name of God by denying, cursing or contumeliously reproaching God, His creation, government or final judging of the world, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching or exposing to contempt and ridicule, the holy word of God contained in the holy scriptures shall be punished by imprisonment in jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars, and may also be bound to good behavior. The history of Maryland's blasphemy statutes suggests that even into the 1930s, the First Amendment was not recognized as preventing states from passing such laws. An 1879 codification of Maryland statutes prohibited blasphemy: Art. 72, sec. 189. If any person, by writing or speaking, shall blaspheme or curse God, or shall write or utter any profane words of and concerning our Saviour, Jesus Christ, or of and concerning the Trinity, or any of the persons thereof, he shall, on conviction, be fined not more than one hundred dollars, or imprisoned not more than six months, or both fined and imprisoned as aforesaid, at the discretion of the court. According to the marginalia, this statute was adopted in 1819, and a similar law dates back to 1723. In 1904, the statute was still on the books at Art. 27, sec. 20, unaltered in text. As late as 1939, this statute was still the law of Maryland. But in 1972, in Maryland v. Irving K. West, the Maryland Court of Appeals (the state's highest court) declared the blasphemy law unconstitutional.[19]
I could go for arresting the aliens though.
Oh, believe me, I know. I have fucked with them personally.
Join 2x4 Tuesdays & protect your RKBA. Heh heh heh. My work here is almost done. :)
Try again.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition these are state statute examples really having nothing to do with the 1stA. further, they reference blasphemy. what has that to do with "responsible" speech or more specifically Severin's calling illegal mexicans criminaliens and leeches? i don't see the semblance.
The smooth criminal transition from Bush/Cheney to Obama
Severin like Rush and company cannot make a legit argument without getting into the gutter and will be the reason "conservatives" will spend the next 40 years out of power and as aside are responsible for the recent hate crime bill as for the founders and free speech I suggest you re-read the anti federalist papers to see the arguments over free speech.... http://books.google.com/books?id...=result&resnum=4#PPA63,M1 And if you support Severin and his elk's free speech rights than I take it you also supported the radio jocks in Rwanda who were responsible for the killing 800,000 Hutus ......being in the business of talk radio I take my responsibilities very seriously and attempt to educate and inform... not to mislead and promote xenophobia.
Robby, until this argument can be applied equally to the left side of the political spectrum (Janeane Garofalo, Olbermann & company) it's nothing but a heavy dose of PC and should be rejected outright by a free people.
