Hours after United Kingdom did the unthinkable, voting to leave the European Union in a wave of populist vitriol unfairly directed at immigrants, Vice President Joe Biden took a moment during his visit to Ireland to say what so many Americans were surely thinking.
“All this,” he said of globalization, terrorism and mass migration, “provides fertile terrain for reactionary politicians and demagogues peddling xenophobia, nationalism and isolationism. We see it in Europe. We see it in other parts of the world and we see it in my home country, where some politicians find it convenient to scapegoat immigrants instead of welcoming them.

Its rich to hear this from a Democrat. They are the kings of blaming and scapegoating. Its an instinctive reaction; its all they know how to do.
REALLY?! I am shocked, just shocked.
The McClatchy Company is a publicly traded American publishing company based in Sacramento, California. It operates 29 daily newspapers in 14 states and has an average weekday circulation of 1.6 million and Sunday circulation of 2.4 million.
The handsy rhetorician.
From a quick skim of this, there should have been a barf alert.
They aren’t ‘welcoming immigrants’; they are welcoming prospective new Democrat/Liberal voters.
Right on target! +1
It isn’t hate, it is love...Love of country, love of liberty, love of family, love of self, love of being a free and sovereign nation.
What you said. I’m not ashamed to HATE what wants to subjugate and kill me. We didnt fight to be a free country because we loved British rule. We didn’t fight WW2 because we loved the Japanese and Nazism. You are supposed to hate evil! I hate Communism, I hate Islam, I hate illegal invaders wherever they come from for whatever reason. Isnt it telling that those who HATE us tell us we shouldn’t HATE them back? PC is making us suicidal...and I HATE it!
Resisting the destruction of freedom is “hate” to liberals.
Xenophobic, hatred, blah blah blah...stop with the lies!
We're tired of politicians promising one thing, then doing another...who say on the one hand that immigrants are a plus, and don't collect welfare or use government programs...but our eyes and ears tell us otherwise. We're tired of law breakers skipping without consequences. We're tired of being at the mercy of criminals who cross the border at will.
We're tired of paying taxes to support the cr@p...and we're tired of being guilted for it. We're tired of being lectured about tolerance by those who show none.
For the left, immigration is all about the votes for permanent socialism and the violent oppression of anyone who disagrees.
The best way to eliminate “hate” is to round up all the libtard scum in our society and deport them to somewhere they’d be more comfortable, I’m thinking some Muslim country where they would quickly awaken to what reality is, or maybe in the case of the extremist left wing types, send them into ISIS territory and see how long they last before they either get thrown off the top of a building, or shoved into a cage for ignition with some flammable substance.
The liberals and leftists shouldn’t mind a bit, after all in their world view all cultures equivalent, and we must all be more tolerant.
Let the tolerance begin with them as they hear the shrieks of “allah akbar” as their continued existence is no longer tolerated.
Yep, the comments section is taking the Bee to task nicely. Good to see that.
Why don’t liberals ever complain about Japan?
MY personal guess is that they really do not understand Japan or its people. ExPats living there now might have a more informed comment than me, however.
Hate is liberal for break the law.
Dismissing non-liberal positions as “hate”, “stupidity”, etc., is a ploy used to avoid any kind of intellectual discussion of the issue. If the liberals had an intellectual basis for their beliefs, they would not be afraid to argue the point—but they don’t. Hence, the ad hominem attacks.
‘Hate’ is liberal code for anyone who disagrees. It’s become so shopworn and overused that no takes it seriously any more. It’s like Democrats throwing around the term ‘racist’. It’s meaningless.
“Hate” is the reason for overbearing, tyrannical government.
Liberty is the reason for opposing such government.
SacBee writers are firmly in the “hate” camp.
