Since they don't want to acknowledge the real facts, progressives like to attack the grass roots tea party movement by calling them names. As Congress and the White House begin to move amnesty for illegal aliens higher up in their agenda, the founder of the Daily Kos, is waging a preemptive attack on the people who are most likely to oppose their action. Grass Roots patriots and Conservative Republicans. Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, a Democratic strategist and founder of the left-wing blog The Daily Kos, says that Teabaggers and Republicans 'Who Hate Brown People Will Put the Brakes on Immigration Bill

“I can’t imagine half the Dems supporting this going into the mid-terms.”
Most democrats feel the same as conservatives about illegal immigration...they don’t like it. But the dems can keep their base in line by dividing us by screaming ‘racist’!
They also know 3rd worlder imports will vote socialist every time.
Actually, progressive democrats have a group opposed to amnesty.

I think it is time we all start posting there and pouring salt on the recent wounds.
Took a survey in the last 48 hours . . .
The powers that be are evidently looking closely at this issue . . .
The survey involved Muslims, Hispanics and whites . . . and included a very sophisticated module at an external website at Harvard for a professional study in prejudice etc.
That module was sophisticated but probably quite difficult for most people to manage well, if at all. It was sophisticated in what it was trying to do. It was not very sophisticated in human factors ease of use. And even the instructions were likely to be confusing and hard to follow for most people.
It showed pics of different races—browns, blacks, whites (no Asians) and one had to click whether the word presented matched the face or other word presented, or not. Words used were like “good,” “anger,” “happiness,” etc.
It was a reasonably well done survey.
I just kept wondering who all was going to see the results and to what end.
Will they use it to help time the civil war? What will they do with the findings. Interesting.
Whoever is making these comments has to have a, "Destroy America mentality" or is just plain ignorant.
I base this on the fact that American is overwhelmed by immigration, both legal and illegal. If they cannot see this, they are beyond reason or help.
DemocRATik “strategist”, Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, is one of the main reasons why Americans have been kicking the DemocRATS’ asses lately.
class warfare and racism mixed together
obvious strategy. but considering the education system within the US, it’ll be lost on the navel gazing, emotional pudding heads that make up the base of the liberal/progressive voting block
Another case of ideology over self-interest. Or, to put it another way, "get bent, self-hating white person."
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

I hope all fiscally conservative ‘brown people’ show up BIG TIME for the Tea Party Express III and their pics are plastered all over the media.
Let’s nip this crap right in the bud.
