ABC’s Rosie O’Donnell has said some pretty disgraceful things on “The View” since her arrival. However, this might be the worst.
On Thursday’s installment, O’Donnell actually said that the only reason al Qaeda terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confessed to any of his actions is because he is being held and tortured by the United States government.
For any right-thinking American, this is some pretty disturbing footage of a so-called fellow citizen actually defending one of the most heinous terrorists in history (h/t and video available here courtesy of Ian at Hot Air, partial transcript available here courtesy of Justin McCarthy).
As Debbie Schlussel reported on this issue (emphasis mine throughout):
This is the last straw. If Barbara Walters doesn't fire Rosie O'Donnell from "The View" over comments O'Donnell made on today's episode, then she never will.
Today, O'Donnell said she feels bad for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM). She doesn't believe he's responsible for anything in 9/11 or any of the 26 plots which he volunteered to American authorities. Among the worst of her comments, O'Donnell derided airhead pseudo-conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck (who is ZERO match for O'Donnell on the intellectual scale) for calling KSM a "terrorist," saying, "So, calling him a terrorist robs him of all of his humanity?"
Schlussel continued:
Then, there are O'Donnell's comments about KSM admitting to planning the 9/11 attacks. She yelled, "So we finally got the guy. He just so happened to admit to all of these things. And it's not Bin Laden? It's this guy?" She then said that she doesn't believe he's responsible for any of it, and that we Americans tortured him and got him to admit to it. She shrieked on and on that we Americans torture these poor people.
Shocking stuff to say the least.
UPDATE: For those interested, here is an AP report discussing Mohammed's confession. Furthermore, the Smoking Gun has a copy of the actual signed confession here (h/t Drudge for both).

No, you can't, but you can say "Shut up, Rosie! Just. Shut. Up."
And let's get it out front. Rosie, this is not censorship. No one is saying you don't have a right to talk. We are just saying we are sick and tired of hearing you.
Does this show actually have decent ratings? I've heard it described as a show for women who find Oprah too "cerebral". You know, they might actually be considered a reasonable "discussion" show, if instead of Hasselbeck, they had a good strong conservative woman who would demolish Rosie O'Bloviator. I know Michelle Malkin has a lot on her plate, but how about Mary Katherine Ham, for instance? Or LaShawn Barber? Nah, they would never accept a black conservative woman.

Reminder: Don't forget to pay your taxes. 12 million illegal immigrants are counting on you.
ha ha! Dear ckc1227
March 15, 2007 - 12:38 ET by tumbler_2007Quite surprising, coming from you. I look at your clever tagline:
". . . pay your taxes. 12 million illegal immigrants are counting on you."
Which is as close to Rosie O'Donnell's kind of smear that you might be Her Battiness.
There are hardly 7 million in all, and not all from south of the border. Not a one depends on our taxes. Not one, much less millions. You're going Maher and/or Olbsurdmann or Rosie-cheeked.
You're kidding right? Not a o
March 15, 2007 - 13:14 ET by rightsideYou're kidding right? Not a one? Not one ever has gone to a hospital emergency room and received care? Every single one of them has blue cross/blue shield, or some type of health insurance, correct? Hospitals have this tremendous pot of money for those who can't pay correct? If not that, I would have to believe that money is acquired for that through taxes correct? Since everyone knows that governments at any level, gets every single dollar of theirs through extracting them from those who pay taxes.
That is but one example, I could go on with public assistance, housing, schooling, etc., but hopefully you'll see the fallacy of your reasoning.
I've just got to ask, where do you think they get this money from?

March 15, 2007 - 13:42 ET by PeskyDaneYou have to remember, to people like Tumbler, there is no such thing as entrepreneurs and employees turning their labor into capital and then injecting that capital into society which "trickles down" (Oops, there's that dreaded "T" word) and benefits everyone.
To him, the only choices are between communism and feudalism - both government control economies which require totalitarian means to enforce. The idea that capitalism is benevolent and not a form of feudalism is something which libtards simply can not wrap their brains around.
To him, government money is just something that bubbles up from the ground and costs the rest of us nothing.

Tumbler, its time you fessed up.
March 15, 2007 - 15:35 ET by Dave Rtumbler.
C'mon, tell us the truth. Your real name is Vincente Fox, isn't it?
exactly; just think:
March 15, 2007 - 13:52 ET by tumbler_2007Almost every employed illegal immigrant is paying taxes EVERY DAY, as well as income tax on earnings. Very few are able to collect refunds. --They'd have to expose themselves to investigators and people like YOU.
They also pay gasoline taxes, fees imposed by local gov't, and sales tax. Sales tax on everything from home purchases, car purchases, licenses and clothing, etc., for which the only recompense they have is illicit access to an emergency room on the rare occasion they're sick or injured. (You know, the place where they want to charge us $25 for a bucket to vomit in?) --Your beef about our schools is unfounded. The school doesn't go broke accepting a small minority of undocumented aliens' children. The majority of our illegals have children living & going to school in Mexico's interior, yet still have to pay school tax here. A relative few are educated here past 8th grade. Not very well, I mot add.
Most hard-working farm laborers, for instance, do not go into hospital care unless it's a matter of life & death. A mere fraction of the 7 million-- Not 20; --are in welfare situations temporarily. But since our government's largesse is already pumping billions into abortion for ghetto mothers on demand, we shouldn't complain. --MY tax dollars go to pay those charges; and I am Pro-Life. Nobody gives me a crying towel; I don't owe anybody else one.
Then we have the sore feelings around here regarding "anchor babies." There's nothing illegal about them. These babies are NOT anchors, Pal. They're born perfectly legal American citizens. It was good enough for our ancestors and it's good enough for us. We NEED living babies in America; instead of this rash of unborn dead fetuses. Otherwise, someday if things don't change, Americans may all be speaking Chinese. Moral of the story: I hate to see grown men cry.

Hey Tumbler, First off I want
March 15, 2007 - 15:06 ET by Wilbur747Hey Tumbler,
First off I want you to know I live in the battlefront of illegal immigration...Tucson, Arizona and I think I know more about the illegal immigration issue, as well as anchor babies than you do. Your assertion that illegal's pay taxes are for the most part, incorrect.
Most home builders here, including those who are building houses next to my subdivision pay their non-white employees in cash. So do those who hire people to take care of their lawns/yards. That means they DON'T pay taxes. Yet these same people are elligable for Workman's Comp and unemployment benefits. To assume that illegals only pick crops further proves you are misinformed as to the extend of damage that illegal do.
Next, as far as anchor babies go, there's a reason they are called "anchor babies". By having their child in the U.S., they (the parents) are eligible for welfare and Social Security payments on behalf of their child. Recently, an illegal was picked up while speeding and had over $8000 can cash. It was a Social Security payment to the newborn that the mother decided belonged to her family in Mexico. The children of illegals are even given in-state tuition over those who are actually legal immigrants.
By the way, the illegal I referred to not given a ticket for exceeding the speed limit by 47 MPH...while my wife got a ticket for 4 MPH over. Racist? I ask you.
My wife is a nurse (side note--May God bless nurses!) in a local hospital. That hospital has to turn away OUR OWN less fortunate, full blown reb-blooded Americans from the emergency room because the budget has been drained fully due to those anchor babies. Even the hospitals on American Indian (for the politically correct...Native Americans) reservations here are losing money that rightfully should go to them because of these anchor babies .
I personally know non-Mexican people who have lost jobs and others who won't be hired simply because of your beloved illegals who will work for half of what they ask...and these folks are non-union at that. While I agree in a capitalistic society, I feel that Americans come first.
Yes, we do need living babies in America, but only if they and their parents are willing to become REAL Americans...speak English, become a productive citizen (and not depend on welfare) and meld into that great melting pot known as America.
Come down here and see what effect that illegal immigration has and maybe you'll see the light.

March 15, 2007 - 16:26 ET by tumbler_2007That's the 2nd time you refer to me as turd. I suppose the moderator here is your brother-in-law; but you better quit.
If your debate skills run to being this low, I'm giving you warning, chad. Two can play that game. You're a sorry match for the tumbler. BTW, I saw you for a racist a long time ago. What makes you think you're clean now? To boot, you're now a cowardly racist. You can't argue civil, so you get vile and insolent. Act like an adult, chad. Win one clean, if you have the guts.
Tumbler's right. We must ris
March 15, 2007 - 16:42 ET by Wilbur747Tumbler's right.
We must rise above those libs/Dems who make it a hobby to call people names. We (conservatives/Reps/Libertatirans are supposed to be above name calling.
Civil discourse is what separates us from lib/sDems. We can learn from others so long as we listen...not hear, but listen. This doesn't mean we have to agree, just listen...without the name calling.
Tumbler does have valid points that deserve debate rather than name calling. Remember that one of our complaints about the left is that they always revert to name calling when they know they can't win an arguement.
On another note...I found a new type of racist the other day. When I walked into a room, the people there suddenly switched from English to Spanish. Now if I had switched from English to German when a Latino entered the room, would I have been labeld a racists?

Rog, I pay all respect to yo
March 15, 2007 - 17:16 ET by Wilbur747Rog,
I pay all respect to you, Rog, but I have to take expection to anyone who uses the term 'Nazi' lightly. You'll notice that I rarely use it. Both of my grand parents were interned by the Nazi regime in WW ll. I have studied the Nazi Party from 1925-1945. As such, even though modern liberals/Dems do take actions that resemble Nazi actions, (and yet they blame conservatives as being such) I caution the use of such labels.
Now that I've adeqautely chewed yourbutt...let's discourse!
I am saying if you and I bega
March 15, 2007 - 19:47 ET by Roger the ShrubberI am saying if you and I began conversing in German if some other ethnic group entered the room, we could easily be labeled Nazis. Calling people "Nazis" is a familiar, oft-overused tactic, as we all know.
I added Kafkakafer because, in the past, he has let his anti-American/pro-European (esp German) bias slip into his posts.
I have no idea how often you use the term "Nazi" Wilbur, because, frankly, I have rarely ever seen you post at Newsbusters. But hey, it's no biggie. I commend you in your attempts to have civil discourse with some of the more incoherent denizens of NB, but, as a long-term citizen here, civil discourse is a waste of time (and not an objective) for some people here.
True, the term 'Nazi' is ofte
March 15, 2007 - 20:31 ET by Wilbur747True, the term 'Nazi' is often, if not too often, overused, mainly by libs/dems who don't like our opinion or beliefs.
I've read Kafkakafer before, and he's truly what you say. Sometimes it's fun just to egg him (and others) on!
I read NB everyday rain or shine. In fact I've been reading it since it's inception. I rarely post as I have to work and can't use company time or resources to read /post to NB, so I do it when I'm off and don't have a honey-do list. I also prefer not to post simple one-liners.
You being and 'old-timer' and me a newbie doesn't mean you're right and I'm wrong, or the other way around. That's the beauty of the 1st ammendment and this site...we can discuss.
I agree, civil discourse is a waste of time for some folks, for those people we should just not respond. Let them drivel on. They will go elsewhere. But there are others who are willing and are able to discuss with civility with no name calling. Just because we don't agree with them, or they don't articulate their ideas well doesn't make them idiots or incoherant. Some are and some are not.
So why not discuss with those who can without lowering themselves? Are we going to shut out those who have the faculties to talk simply because we don't like their ideas? If so we are no better than libs/dems or for that matter, Nazis.
We all like to have fun posting our thoughts. Sometimes we have lengthy discussions, sometimes we go too far and other times we have many, many laughs.
I've seen the 'dark side' of liberal websites, and I will not to emmulate them with similar postings. We're better than that. Freedom of expression is just one of the many freedoms I fought for, regardless of how idiotic the other person may seem.
BTW, I missed your first line
March 15, 2007 - 20:37 ET by Wilbur747BTW, I missed your first line as I didn't have my glasses on. God, I hate getting old. Older..I man appraoching middle age...I mean getting close to thirty..Oh heck, I give up.
You're right. If we spoke German, especially where I work, and me having blonde hair and blue eyes, being called a skinhead or nazi lover is the first reaction I'd expect. However. If several Mexicans suddenly shift to Spanish when we walk in, how dare we call them anything! God forbid if I file an EEOC complaint!
Typical double standard.
then there's a reason
March 15, 2007 - 21:58 ET by tumbler_2007Yes; the reason, as anyone can tell you, is that those races and peoples are ignorant. Not like advanced, intelligent people. (White, anglo-American and Nordic) We must expect Mexicans to do what you describe on account of their racial inferiority. Like apes, you know. When they pick their noses.
I think that's what you feel. It isn't rare in this place. Typical knee-jerk feeling.

Tumbles and La Raza, sitting in a tree....
March 15, 2007 - 22:36 ET by RJWhy claim to hate La Raza, Tumbles, when your position so clearly matches theirs?
it's not just a claim
March 15, 2007 - 23:01 ET by tumbler_2007I detest them. They don't represent me.
My position here has been explained multiple times, R J. but you ignore me.
I say we have to patrol our border as always. We stop trespassers. After processing, we deport them. I believe in our authorities, as long as they act within the law. I know our borders haven't been controlled efficiently and they MUST be. I support our laws and our country. I admire my President and I hope he succeeds in solving these problems.
But I do NOT hate Mexicans here in illegal status. I don't denounce them to the law because I feel sorry for them, and always will. But if they're caught, I realize they must be deported. Too bad.
Do you suppose La Raza sees it my way ? Is La Raza in lock-step with tumbler; as YOU walk in lockstep with racists and white supremacists who hate Mexicans? I don't blame them for hating La Raza. But if they hate the little folks. Those who are here from dire necessity and because of their HOPE. If these racists express hatred and contempt for the destitute Mexican peones. Then I'll despise them as racist scum. Because they can't fool me.
Blame me for THAT. You don't have to invent any other motive for dumping on me. You won't catch me hating poor Mexicans. Even if they must be deported. I'll still sympathize with them and love them. Because God loves us all; not just the Americans.
They don't represent

wilbur, you have my sympathy
March 15, 2007 - 15:37 ET by tumbler_2007I appreciate the calm, unfrenzied and serious way you state the case. You likely know what you're talking about. And, you have a right to object to illegal immigration.
I'm an American hispanic. I also believe the illegal who crosses the border should be caught and deported.
I made a suggestion a while back; when there was the fever over a big FENCE. I stated my opinion that such measures don't work, ultimately. Since it's nearly impossible to make our farms & ranches stop hiring illegals, the bold ones return to work in a few weeks, even after being shipped back to Mexico. My suggestion (to our law-makers) is: If a once-deported offender returns and is captured again; don't deport him again. Give him a prison term. Maybe 2 to 5 years in a state pen. After the term, deport him.
That would really discourage recidivist illegal aliens. I think it would work a lot better than to rail and rant at the peons who work here under present policy.
As for the babies, Wilbur-- You and I are miles apart. The law says they'll be Americans at birth. Whether or not you're WRONG (I think so) about Mexicans plotting to have babies here with premeditated, dishonest motives; there is one salient truth. The baby is innocent of ALL wrong doing. For me he's an AMERICAN baby. Not an anchor. And it's always going to stay that way. I believe he's an American and we have obligations to every single American. No matter what some citizens want. You can't harm the child. Notice, I still object to those Americans who indulge their hatred by advocating abuse and killing of offenders. I denounce racist rhetoric and racial supremacy expressed by so many of our right-wing zanies. I'm glad you haven't shown the tendency. For which, Thanks.
I do agree with you on some p
March 15, 2007 - 16:08 ET by Wilbur747I do agree with you on some parts, but I have to take acception to the anchor baby part. I do feel that all life is vital, and all babies are precious, but the term anchor comes from the mothers who gain financially from having their babies delivered in America not from the precious babies looking forward to a life in America, the land of the free, home of the brave.
Do you honestly think that these mothers put the SS and welfare money into a savings account for their child's college fund?
I'll give you a hint, in Mexico, infant shots are non-existant. In America, a baby born to low income parents can get free shots and medical care for all ailments. Much is at the expense of other Americans. Thus anchor babies. While I agree that an American should get certain things alotted to all Americans, but I don't agree with illegals coming to America to give birth for the sole purpose of getting free medical and welfare for them and their kids.
This isn't fair to those who came legally (and their children) and applied for citizenship the right way.
I am sorry to have to say tha
March 15, 2007 - 16:42 ET by James2306I am sorry to have to say that Tumbler once again contradicts himself. The first time I ever ran into him Tumbler called me a racist for saying that Illegals should be deported. He does not believe that no matter what he says.
I wonder how I'll be labeled
March 15, 2007 - 16:47 ET by Wilbur747I wonder how I'll be labeled since the second highest number of illegals come from Ireland? I, IMHO, fell ALL illegals white, black, brown, grenn, or purple with yellow polka dots should be deported until they do it the right way. LEGALLY!
James continues to lie
March 15, 2007 - 21:51 ET by tumbler_2007If I call anybody a racist, James, it's because he/she makes racist and inflammatory remarks about the ethnic minority being discussed. Since I am in favor of deportation it makes no sense to claim that's why you are in fact a racist. I'd be calling us both racists!
But you'll say and do anything to retaliate against the charge of racial injustice. So you change the story to benefit yourself. You LIE. Why do you object to being called a racist? Every time you post on this subject you expose your obvious bias against an ethnic, silent and illegal minority. That's the shibboleth accepted by other racists, you know. Tell about your hatred, and say it with conviction. Don't be modest about it, James. You feel superior to Mexicans. We all understand that. You object too much. Since you're superior, you ought to stand proudly for the fact.

Wilbur...I would like to add
March 15, 2007 - 15:38 ET by Clear thinkerWilbur...
I would like to add to the tax mis-conception you raised.
My company got into trouble when an illegal that worked for us died. He had given us someone else's SS number when we hired him. His family back in good old Mexico tried to collect on any SS death benefit he may have had coming to him. That's when we found out his SS # was fake. We got scolded by the SS Administration and had to look into the status of all of our employees. Within a 2 day period we lost 52% of our workforce (108 employees). During this whole investigation my head bean counter showed me records of all the illegals tax records. It turns out that ALL 108 of them were claiming 6 dependants. I'm sure I don't have to tell you what that meant. Not only were they not paying federal income taxes, they were getting money BACK at the end of the year. THAT MONEY CAME FROM REAL TAXPAYERS!

March 15, 2007 - 16:28 ET by Wilbur747CT,
Now you cn see the reality that we here in Tucson face. How long will it be before that illegal with so-called fake SS# sells it to a criminal who will then steal someone's idenity?
On another note...can you trust an illegal to load your bags on an airplane? Regardless of their race, if they are relatively poor, what is their price to give access to another OTM (Other Than Mexican) to the flightline at your local airport?
If they have a fake/stolen SS#, then how do we track them in order that we prevent the 'Bad People' from killing innocent people flying to Grandma's for Thanksgiving?

I'm assuming most citizens in your area are all on board for a wall/fence along the border. This should be done ASAP! Before you fix an artery spewing blood, you have to stop the bleeding, and our country is bleeding badly.

March 15, 2007 - 16:44 ET by misterbillHave you seen Senator Isakson's proposal re:illegal immigration?
I would say that most people
March 15, 2007 - 16:57 ET by Wilbur747I would say that most people I know, both from the left and right, want the fence. I live in a liberal county within a conservative state..with a liberal governor. (I'm so confused!)
I know that some won't publically admit to wanting a fence, for whatever reason, maybe the fear that they may be ostricized (sp) as being 'racist'. Many of the Mexican-American people I know who came legally want the fence.
On another note, labor unions want illegals since they are an ignorant (uneducated, non-knowing) pool of possible income for unions. The funny thing is, is that these same union rail against illegals taking American jobs. Go figure.
believe it or not
March 15, 2007 - 17:10 ET by tumbler_2007You can build a fence; but it won't stop experienced border violaters. Fences stop cattle, Wilbur.
This doesn't mean we shouldn't do something to stop them. But all the fence does is reinforced the racist stereotype Republicans have been tagged with from the left over centuries. Democrats have exploited the lie with our African American voters and they'll keep doing it with hispanic and Mexican-American voters as well.
True , a simple fence will st
March 15, 2007 - 17:31 ET by Wilbur747True , a simple fence will stop cattle, but a wall, will stop the most exploitive of violaters. Don't believe me look at the result of the Minutemen.
Why do you insist it's racist? Because it's Mexico? The majority of people know don't give a rat's a** about their race. Only their legal contribution to America. I'd support a wall on the Northern border, but the fact is that Canadians don't flood from the north looking for free entitlements. They are self -respecting people who respect national borders and DON'T tax our system into bankruptcy.
I do agree with you on the Democratic exploitation of both the African-American and Latino vote. So long as they keep telling people of these groups that they are a victim, they'll keep getting votes.
you said it yourself
March 15, 2007 - 17:49 ET by tumbler_2007Wilbur;
A wall wouldn't be a problem for the experienced ones. Forget about it. And erecting a wall is just good publicity for Democrat panderers. It's showing how racist Repulicans act against Mexico. There's that inevitable perception.
The violaters come because they are given JOBS. And every time they're deprecated and maligned they react just as any alien would. "It's because these people hate us. Because we're not white. We only came to work, we won't take away their country; we have a country. MEXICO." (I've heard men cry and say these very words, Wilbur.)

Not cool man! The 9-11 hijackers came through Canada and were allowed to stay due to liberal "student" visas.
How 'bout we keep this on a mature level and not lower ourselves to theliberal/Dems level?

March 16, 2007 - 11:50 ET by TruthMongerI think tumbler's message is simply that building a wall on the southern border is racist - of course there can't possibly be any other explanation...
I agree, a wall would only be
March 15, 2007 - 18:24 ET by Wilbur747I agree, a wall would only be a setback, but like a professional burglar, he will eventually get in, but at least the non-professional would not.
Forgive me , but B******t!! Sure, they come for jobs, so why won't they do it legally and pay taxes and SS like we non-Mexicans do?
True they are given jobs, and IMHO they should not be unless they either are Americans or have a green card. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM NOT BEING WHITE...SO GET OVER IT!
I live near several Canadians/Iraqis/Saudis/Mexicans/Hatians/etc who all have green cards, work and pay all taxes expected of all immigrants.
Bottom line,if you come into America to work, then get a damned green card and pay taxes, both income and Social Security.
My grandparents, after escaping Nazi tyranny, came here legally...filing papers...going through English classes...
Two final notes: I don't believe we "hate"you because you're Mexican and why can't Mexico do better to help their own people so theycan stay in their homeland?
...and this is clearly racist
March 16, 2007 - 11:55 ET by TruthMonger...and this is clearly racist, ya damn racist : ) !
You probably believe in torture and tax cuts for the rich too...
Wilbur asks Tumbler--
March 16, 2007 - 12:54 ET by tumbler_2007Dear Wilbur,
You ask old Tumbler for a long list of explanations; all of which he can give you. Here's a quickie:
"IMHO they should not be [hired] unless they are Americans or have green cards . It has NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM NOT BEING WHITE...SO GET OVER IT!" -----Tumbler: I clearly said that the white racist element is THEIR perception of things, as soon as you arrest and deport them. You should bawl them out for it, not me. I'm an American, Wil.
Just in passing, then:
"A wall would only be a setback, but like a professional burglar, he will eventually get in, but at least the non-professional would not." ---Tumbler: Let me give you a surprise. I estimate easily 60% of these people don't even climb the fence. They are smuggled over the border in cars and trucks, even on FOOT, through our immigration and customs checkpoints. Baja California has its thriving cottage industry, Wilbur; selling them fake passports, temporary permits and birth certificates. Our inspectors at the gates work hard, but it's impossible to nabe every peon coming through who merely has to answer a rapid question or two: Place of birth?-- Answer-- TEXAS. Phonetically easy to say Tek sas. We're speaking here of MILLIONS of crossings a year, by car and on foot, at how many dozen border checkpoints.
And, although you (snidel) referred to the mexican illegal as "ignorant, uneducated, unskilled, etc., thousands of them study English over there in Mexico. And they may be farmers, but not at all ignorant, my friend. Some are more intelligent than YOU. Remember-- once they're over here, they melt into the background of hundreds of our cities. We have a MAJOR, MAJOR problem. One which walls and fences can't HOPE to end. I suggest that instead of wasting 40 billion dollars on boondoggle fence construction, our government fix the problem passing major legislation. Prison terms for repeat offenders is a good start.
The hardest pill to swallow, I know, is amnesty for millions already living in the U.S. There is no way possible to uproot more than a small number of them over the years. Might as well have a spoonful of sugar to help the "medicine" go down smoothly: The truly splendid POTENTIAL this 7 million Mexicans (and others) represent for our society. That is, once they're permited openly to RISE to their potential. Because they learn FAST, Wilbur. As the old saying goes, (paraphrased) "Give a smart Mexican a ball of steel wool and he'll knit you a stove."
Remember; I'm not advocating an open border, or lax enforcement. A few demagogues in this forum keep saying that, and calling me the apologist, or friend of illegal aliens. --Some even accuse me of being a Mexican myself. (If I really were, I'd be PROUD to say so, believe me.) They refuse to be told about racism and white supremacy; as if --perish the though! --That's never been true of America! HA HA! You're damn right it has; more often than they care to admit.
Racism
March 15, 2007 - 18:51 ET by gfrrmanTumbler could you please give us all YOUR unadulterated definition of racism? You throw that word around quite a lot and I don't think you have a clue to it's true definition. I'm sure it would entertain us all. Come on, give it try pal.
dummy gfrrmn alert
March 16, 2007 - 13:07 ET by tumbler_2007I'm not here to entertain you. Look it up in the dictionary, Dummy.
You state: [You] throw that word around quite a lot and I don't think you have a clue to it's true definition."
Look it up, Wise Guy. Just remember; you haven't disproved any statement I've made about certain folks in this assembly. Nor can you or anybody else defend their hate speech. So, if you don't call hatred and verbal abuse of an ethnic minority at least suggestive of racism, cover your own @ss. By not denigrating a foreigner or somebody who isn't white anglo-saxon protestant. Then I won't accuse you. You'll be a friend of mine.
Yeah, grrrman
March 16, 2007 - 14:00 ET by RJYeah, gfrrman, how dare you question our resident La Raza representative on the meaning of racism? Everyone knows it's whatever he says it is. ;^>
yeah, gfrrman er gfrrdude
March 16, 2007 - 14:14 ET by tumbler_2007Yeah-- Listen to R J, our resident KKK lover and bottom-feeder --everybody knows he never goes over the top; he'll punk your wife if you don't watch out. Nothing's too vile for R J, once he hates your guts.
OH OH! Beg pardon! I'm mistaken, it's NOT R J I should denounce for punking our wives. (Sorry, R-J, not cool of Tumbler.)
I momentarily confused him for another. That would be El Moco, who posts as Roger Shrubber; HE punks wives of other participants here, and he also hates Tumbler. Almost as much as R J. But I must apologise to R J, for mistaking him for a dobermann pincher like Rog.
Yet I clean R J's plow ever time he surfaces for air. It discourages him from posting for days at a time. Just keep looking. He'll drop out until next week, to lick his wounds.
Hey, it's Daffy Troll

Its time for this troll to move on.
March 16, 2007 - 14:41 ET by Dave RGuys,
I thinks its about time they pulled the plug on this insulting troll. I mean, enough is enough already. How many more personal insults do we have to put up with around here just for suggesting our do-absolutely-flippin'-nothing federal government actually enforce our immigration laws?
