		<description>I expect public health officials to do their jobs....as it appears they are.

What I won&#039;t accept is the words of Villagers, hatemongers and political cretins exploiting a flu scare to amplify their immigrant bashing.

To deny that that exploitation is happening is simply willful blindness.</description>

		<description>Did you know that in Europe in 1918 their was a strain of flu that came through rather weakly like this and then strengthened and came back through and killed 10&#039;s of millions.

It must be contained now. China has the best idea, however you probably think that what they are doing is torture huh Rev. Or at least crimes against civil freedom.</description>

		<description>There are myriad reasons to develop a sensible immigration policy, including public health concerns, Reverend. 

I don&#039;t know what these new Mexican neighbors of yours have done to warrant the bigotry, but I&#039;d suggest you just call the proper county or city authorities if needed then try to live and let live.</description>

		<description>Well, what is it then? What&#039;s the argument about? 

Too many undocumenteds inside the U.S. Isn&#039;t that the problem? Aren&#039;t they here illegally? Wouldn&#039;t that make it a law and order issue?

And isn&#039;t the far right&#039;s problem with &quot;comprehensive immigration reform&quot;, McCain style, amnesty? Wasn&#039;t that what talk radio was so upset about? 

Doesn&#039;t amnesty pertain to, like, law and order? 

Wasn&#039;t a &quot;path to citizenship&quot;, including fines, without forced expulsion, rejected out of hand by the far right?

I mean, you tell me,......what is it that the far right wants on immigration?

Cause it sure looks like fear or hatred of latinos to me.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve heard anyone really claim immigration reform is &quot;about&quot; law and order either, Reverend. The assumption would be that Mexicans are all criminals.

Maybe you should try and catch up on some facts because you sound like a racist.</description>

		<description>Comparing Michael Savage to The Reverend!  I&#039;m crushed.

Pretzel logic ain&#039;t gonna&#039; cut it.

Those haters mentioned in my post were the same guys getting their hate on over comprehensive immigration reform. 

Like I said, you can argue that it&#039;s about law and order....it&#039;s not, because elsewhere these same nuts advocate for lawlessness....torture, wiretapping, etc.

This flu thing is simply another &quot;opportunity&quot; to bash latino immigrants.

Listen, don&#039;t blame me, or compare me with Savage. The GOP is the party of white Christians only. That&#039;s why white Christians are about the only group still voting GOP.</description>

		<description>Hannity said, &quot;Swine flu spreads from Mexico to the United States. Is this the latest border crisis ?&quot;

Savage echos that sentiment, but then goes off on a conspiratorial rant about Islamists bringing the swine flu in. Savage does get pretty nutty sometimes, as I said before, just like the Reverend does. Savage is the about the closest thing I can think of to a rightwing version of the Reverend.

Boortz said he wasn&#039;t concerned much with the swine flu, but then also talks about bioterrorism, and the possibility that it could be introduced here via Mexico. Boortz admits he is only engaging in speculation, not stating anything as fact. 

Nary a word about about hating Latinos in there, Rev. You suffer from Liberal Dissociative Disorder. You don&#039;t hear what people say, you hear something else. When you hear &#039;we need to control the flow of illegals from Mexico,&#039; you hear &#039;racism.&#039; That is YOUR problem.</description>

		<description>I doubt any of those broadcasters said anything about &#039;dark-skinned undocumenteds,&#039; Reverend. That was you.

You have some Mexicans living next door or something?</description>

		<description>My post was not about swine flu media hype.

It was about hatemongers in the media using the flu as an excuse to bash an old &quot;hate&quot; standby....Latino immigrants.

There is a distinction.

Yes, the media, ever the &quot;shark attack&quot; story lovers....went all in hyping what looks now like a minor outbreak.....but the Fox and Rush-types, as my post material clearly demonstrates, were all about connecting their hatred for dark-skinned undocumenteds with the flu outbreak.

As you probably already know, the flu was brought to the U.S by a class of school kids from New York.</description>
