Hitler Rose and Hitler Fell! Racist Minutemen go to Hell!

Yesterday evening there was supposed to have been an immigration forum at the Fourth Congregational Church in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood. The church's pastor, the Rev. Dan Wood, invited the Illinois Minutemen and Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights.
There was no debate. Why? Because the latter group backed out.
From their web site:
The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights is withdrawing from a debate with the Illinois Minutemen on the immigration issue at Fourth Congregational Church in Logan Square tonight (Thursday, May 4, 2006).The event, such as it was, lasted ten minutes. Immigration reform activists, or what Jake calls the "Anti-Minutemen," were shouting and screaming as Rosanna Pulido of the Illinois Minutemen attempted to address the crowd. She didn't succeed. Keep in mind Rosanna, I nice woman who I've met, was speaking in a church.
It is clear to us from the e-mail notices of white racist organizations that this event has the potential to turn into a violent street confrontation. Our organization has no interest whatsoever in contributing to an event in which people could be hurt; that allows extremists to vent their hatred; or that further exacerbates tensions at a time when our nation is interested in solutions.
More from Freedom Folks:
After several minutes of the anti-minuteman mode of conduct, immigration activist, Niurus Ramos, took the microphone and attempted, by yelling at the top of her voice, to be heard by crowd. She was making an effort to tell them to stop what they were doing and participate productively in what was left of the so-called Forum/Debate. She was not the least bit successful in her endeavors to calm her group down or to restore any semblance of order to the out-of-control situation.NBC 5 Chicago did a so-so job covering the story. Unlike CBS 2 Chicago, Channel 5 didn't mention that the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights cancelled the day before the debate.
The behavior of the Anti-Minuteman people (if that is what I am to call them, maybe some of the are members of The Anti-Minutemen Five organization) was shocking. The look in their eyes was one of pure hatred as they carried on and on and on.
I was able, however, to glean these nuggets from the NBC 5 story:
Immigration activists said there should have been a debate with the Minutemen.Knowing Jake and MJ (and I do), look for more posts from them on the Logan Square "debate."
(My note, uh...are you dense? The other group bailed.)
"They should have waited and debated with them," said immigration activist Niuris Ramos. "But you know, Logan Square and Humboldt Park is a community that will fight for what they believe in, and this is what you see. This is fight." The argument continued outside the forum, Elgas reported.
"It was not the Minutemen causing this, it was these other groups," Wood (the church's pastor) said. "However, remember there's an extreme element on both sides."
Oh, Logan Square trivia time! Jake and MJ live in Logan Square. With no disrepect to them, the most famous person from that neighborhood is Jose "The Dirty Bomber" Padilla.
I had a code pinko moron go off on a rant about the KKK?Minutemen. Finally she got around to mentioning David Duke. That was my opportunity to drop the David Duke page where he gives a letter of support to Cindy Sheehan.
Code Pinko moron logged off that site and closed her account. LOL
Hey, Chapultapec! Didn't you LOSE your nation to a couple of dozen syphilitic Spaniards with MATCHLOCKS? Don't point that nose miner at me.
How is this for irony, the event took place at a Congregationalist church, the same faith as the pilgrims!
Chicago Minuteman Ping
I've seen this look in the eyes of the open borders crowds in pictures that have been posted. I've seen it in the eyes of the "activists" who are being interviewed by the talking heads on TV.
They hate us because we want our own laws enforced!
The President has made a HUGE mistake by allowing this continued invasion while cuddling up to Vicente Fox. It has gone too far, to the point of hate on BOTH sides. They want racism? They're creating it themselves with their demands to take over our country. Americans are getting angrier with every new demand from them, and with the cowards in Washington who allowed this mess to get out of control.
Hitler Rose and Hitler Fell! Racist Minutemen go to Hell!
that allows extremists to vent their hatred
Except for being completely different.
Well if they keep it up they're going to get me to sign up with the minutemen.
This from one of the six folks in the GOP who really doesn't care about immigration legal or illegal at all.
If you disagree with them, you're a racist. If you're a White Sox fan, and they're not, you're a racist. No matter what, you're racist. That's their mindset.
