Two weeks after the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, and the alleged arrest of 4 unidentified suspects, the right wing loons are politicizing the death, despite authorities being unusually tight lipped about the people in custody. Jeff Schwilk, discredited cross dressing founder of the San Diego Minutemen, issued this load of bullshit to agitate and inflame the know nothings that still listen to him.
The fringe anti-immigration group ALIPAC is back at it this week. Their President, William Gheen, went on Fox News recently to claim that the Dream Act was a “political teddy bear with a hand grenade in it.” Wow. As usual, extreme groups are making extreme statements with little basis in reality. The truly alarming part, however, was news today that ALIPAC sent out an email asking its supporters to lie about being constituents when calling up Congressmen who are on the group’s House target list – see their “new tip,” bolded below: Please start your calls today by calling the 10 listed as “Voting No” and say… “I want to thank Congressman _______ for voting No on the Dream Act Amnesty which would MORE
He wasn’t a candidate, hell, he is not even a resident of Arizona, but the discredited President of ALIPAC, felt the need to give his own concession speech this morning shortly after midnight. We concede nothing to John McCain and his Amnesty ally President Obama. We are going to fight them both every inch of the way as long as they continue to pursue this agenda to overthrow the American Republic using illegal alien invaders. OH MY GOD!!!!
JT Ready’s campout next to Interstate 8 in Arizona this past weekend, produced some interesting characters, including this “Patriot” who came all the way from Utah to smooze with the Neo Nazis and care for the chihuahua, “Tinkerbell” (how appropriate) belonging to Ready’s token minority, “Apache Tracker” Will Boggs. Lemmons reports; The mild-mannered “Shawn” of the Utah Patriot Militia, who had flown from the Beehive State to camp out in the Vekol Valley with Ready, didn’t seem to grok the insanity of the situation either, though he spent several minutes telling me that one of his big goals was to get the militia movement to run background checks on everyone to weed out the bad apples, like, you know, neo-Nazis, I MORE
Reacting to the election of Scott Brown to fill the Senate seat of the late Senator Edward Kennedy, ALIPAC’s Willy Gheen seems to think this election gives him the world at his feet. How wrong he is, as is often the case. While some may view the election of Brown, as a referendum against our President, many see it as voters frustration that the President hasn’t been able to clean up the mess left by his predecessor with the snap of his fingers. Others, don’t know what the hell they want, and can’t make up their minds as to whom they should believe. A little advice. Learn to think for yourself instead of letting others do it for you. But MORE
A broad cross-section of House Democrats unveiled a new comprehensive immigration reform bill Tuesday, laying down an early marker for what they hope will be a major 2010 debate. More than 88 co-sponsors have already signed on to the legislation, which is authored by Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and titled the Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009, or “CIR ASAP” for short. The bill includes provisions strengthening border security, creating a streamlined employment verification system, altering the visa program to promote the reunification of families and establishing a commission to recommend changes to the current system of H-1B and H-2B visas for skilled workers.
This excellent article by John Avlon, exposes the tactics of William Gheen and ALIPAC as well as others of the lunatic fringe. NEW YORK (CNN) — We are witnessing a wingnut war break out in American politics, organized on the Internet and fought out in airwaves and in town halls, wingnuts firing their shots from the outer reaches and strafing the common sense center. Look beyond the sober skeptics and the principled opposition to President Obama, and you’ll find an ugly fringe festival cultivating the wounds left by the 2008 campaign and pouring gasoline on the embers of the culture wars. As the two parties become more ideologically polarized, the fringe is now blurring with the base while the moderate MORE
Here’s a closer look at some of the events planned today by ALIPAC’s Willy Gheen and his “Tea Baggers against Amnesty”. Think we were joking about this being a “Spread the Hate” event that will draw a small selection of the xenophobes and bigots amongst us? Think again.
As Jim Gilchrist of the Minuteman Project continues to scurry around, denying and defending the indefensible, our friends at Long Island Wins are on point with this essay. From Pat Young at LIW:
When I need a good laugh, one can be had by going to the hate filled website ALIPAC.us and reading the ridiculous hysterics of chief fear monger “Whining” Willy Gheen. That’s the same person who thinks GOOGLE, E-Bay and others are in collusion with our President to censor him and his ilk from spreading their hate and misinformation across the internet. What’s got Willy’s willy in a knot this morning? A report from REUTERS innocuously titled SEC and Homeland Security need Web backup, GAO says Of course Willy is in the midst of another scam-a-thon to replenish his Christmas funds and his response to this article was:
