MSNBC's Bashir Lumps Neo-Nazi Murders of Turkish Immigrants with GOP Immigration Views
To Alex Wagner, "the rhetoric around immigration in this country is as strident and as divisive as it has [ever] been." But immediately after saying that on the December 2 edition of Now with Alex Wagner, the MSNBC host's British-born colleague Martin Bashir went off the deep end, lumping Rick Perry and Herman Cain in with German neo-Nazis suspected in a string of immigrant murders (MP3 audio here; video update to be posted later):
Horrific. And, it's interesting when you hear Herman Cain talk about alligators in the moat and an electrified fence, and then you have Rick Perry talking about using predator drones across the area. Those two are reflected also in Europe.
Do you know this week the German government issued an appeal to the public to help find a group of neo-Nazis who they believe are responsible for 10 murders. This week.
And these murders have been termed the "kebab murders" because they are workers on stalls who are Turkish.
And what you're seeing in France is the lead candidate for the presidential election next year is the daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marine Le Pen, and guess what? He is a far-right racist.
And so, this is consistent with an economic downturn globally. And who do people start going for? They start going for immigrants. And that's why Gingrich was so ought of sync.
Because at a point when everyone in the Republican field was condemning illegal immigration in the most strident terms, he was a guy who was actually pointing at the fact that the vast majority of these people, two-thirds, have been here for more than 10 years. They are integrated into this country.

ONE BIG QUESTION!!
Submitted by ROSSMAN on Fri, 12/02/2011 - 5:21pm.
What are all the MSM fools going to do, and where are they going to hide, when the conservatives control the senate and the white house. Some, including MARTIN, will be forced to leave this country!!! At least one (HOLDER), will be in prison!!!! GO ISSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, if they want to make THAT connection . . .

. . . then let's connect Martin Bashir to the Taliban and Pakistan's ISI.
Once again, intellectually-bankrupt advocates like Bashir, masquerading as 'journalists,' equate enforcement of immigration laws with anti-immigrant sentiment, when no one -- certainly not any of the GOP candidates -- has even hinted at reducing the LEGAL immigration to this country.
But given the likes of Bashir, Katty Kay, Piers Morgan, Tina Brown, Arianna Huffington, Andrew Sullivan, and Christiane Amanpour, we might rethink the LEGAL immigration policy, too. :-)
Okay, let's try this one more time,

Illegal aliens, not immigrants.
"They are integrated into this country". Uhm....except that they're not. Take a drive through the 'immigrant' parts of N. Philadelphia, the neighborhoods are criss-crossed with the Mexican and Puerto Rican flag, everyday of the year....not one Ameican flag.
The American flag only gets flown by these 'immigrants' when they are demanding entitlements or amnesty.
Thousands of Americans have

Thousands of Americans have been victims of illegals which include murder, rape, kidnapping, human and drug trafficking, assault, child molestations, fraud, theft, vehicle accidents, and let's not forget the gang violence.
Bashir and the other human debris members of the MSM completely ignore the crimes illegals do because after all, illegal votes and gov't dependency are more important than human lives right Bashir?

Bashir = Idiot, end of story.
So, a man's daughter is tarred with the same brush?

Who cares what Le Pen's father thinks?
Tells us, Marty, was your father a devout Muslim? If so, then you subscribe to the same racist, misogynist beliefs that he did?
Interesting

Interesting how this story about the neo-nazis made International news but the multiple stories of Turkish youth gangs wondering German streets raping,killing, robbing and general mayhem in the name of Islam never makes it .
