RUSH: 'QUITE TELLING' FOX DIDN'T WANT ME TO CRITICIZE IMMIGRATION REFORM
Big Journalism ^ | 7/3/2013 | TONY LEE

Posted on 07/03/2013 5:02:09 PM PDT by markomalley

Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said on Tuesday that it was "quite telling" that Fox News did not want him to talk at length about his opposition to comprehensive immigration reform during his appearance on Fox and Friends.

"Now I told the people at Fox that I wanted to talk about this today three or four times and they wouldn't do it," Limbaugh said on his show after his appearance. "They were not interested in bringing this subject up. I wanted to talk about this in relationship to the current state of the Republican party and they wouldn't do it."

Limbaugh said he "had to bring it up myself to whatever extent I did, and that by the way, is quite telling to me."

Limbaugh did indeed manage to get in some comments about immigration on the show, saying, "Republicans are sitting around twiddling their thumbs worried about immigration and whether the Hispanics like them or not and being skunked on issue after issue after issue."

The NAABP (National Association for the Advancement of Billionaire People) aka the nation’s plutocrats, are the driving force behind the push for amnesty. If GOP pols are this craven and corrupt, they deserve to be turfed en masse in 2014. Let Lincoln’s party cease to exist as practical political entity.

Right after the 2012 election Sean Hannity on FNC announced he had “evolved” on the issue and now supported comprehensive immigration reform. Haven’t watched or listened to him since.

FOX has several no go zones. During one of Glenn Beck’s last shows Frank Gaffney slapped FOX over their muslim influence and a couple of GOP bigwig muslims.

I don’t know if they’ve allowed him back since.

I don’t think it really matters. I’m sure King Zero and the DNC are already working on plans to steal the 2014 election anyway. I don’t think there’s anything the Repubs (or Americans) can do about it. The “news” media will cover for them (again).

Obozo “evolved”, so he says, on supporting sodomites. Sean “evolves” on supporting asylum for illegal aliens. He’s not in very good company.

What does the GOPe know that makes them so willing, even eager, to spit on the conservative base?

That’s the way ALL three, Rush Limbo, Hannity and FAUX news have been handling the Article II. Section 1. Clause V., totally muzzled cowardly by other pressures!!!

With defeatist logic like this we would never have fought King George III, the Civil War or WWI and WWII.

All husbands would be henpecked.

Women would lie down and ‘take it’ when being raped.

Stand up and fight like a man.

Well, if you believe the electoral process is no longer valid, the only sensible thing is to prepare for war or flight.

Murdoch favors amnesty and increasing legal immigration. It is the reason Fox covers the subject the way it does. Hannity and O’Reilly are just flacks for Murdoch.

I think the argument against amnesty is largely a socialist argument. We certainly need security at our borders but so-called conservatives seem to forget that before the 1920's there were NO immigration restrictions. They also seem to forget what's carved on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty:

"Give me your tired, your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

I believe that's what our county is all about - a place of refuge for any and all.

I don’t like the way they are covering the Zimmermann trial. On Fox News tonight they showed snippets of testimony from a few people who took the stand but didn’t show how they were shot down by the defense.

I think the argument against amnesty is largely a socialist argument.
  1. We didn't have the socialist economy that we do now.
  2. Immigrants were actual immigrants (for the most part) and wanted to be Americans. You can't say that, for the most part, now.
  3. We most certainly did have restrictions on immigration. See, for example, the 1862 Coolie Act.
  4. With the exception of Chinese, the vast majority of immigrants to this country were Christian. That is no longer the case (you may not have noticed the volume of mosques going up in recent years...if you live under a rock). Same general religion...same general core values.
  5. Low skilled jobs depended upon manpower back then. We now have these things called "machines" that do our ditch digging for us.
  6. etc.

You are an idiot. You act like we let no one in this country. Go away so I don’t have to see your stupid posts.

Oh, I suppose it was a Socialist that wrote those words on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. You deny the American heritage which you claim to be defending. Instead, you’re against these immigrants because then you have to pay for them (a Socialist argument). Sounds like you’re the one that needs to join the Democratic Nation Socialist Party.
