Highlights of Juancarlos Ortiz's program on Friday:
A caller named Milton called in to express his anger about the media coverage of the London bombings. He said the US press casts such a sorrowful light (including music which is meant to convey sadness) on the deaths, while the victims of the war in Iraq do not receive the same treatment. Milton said that there have been 60 Iraqi deaths for each American death, and it makes him so angry that it makes him want to become a terrorist himself, so that the American people could feel what the Iraqis are feeling. Juan Carlos, rather than taking him to task for his comment, was very understanding as he thanked Milton for his comment.
Only 60 to 1 we nned to work on that.
Anybody know where people like Milton are getting their figures, and what their figures are?
Other than the discredited Lancet article claiming 100,000 Iraqi deaths.
I noticed!!! ;-)
Oh thats right everything is hunky dory in Maxis.
Forgive me.
As if we needed any more proof that left-wing thinking leads directly to terrorism.
Like that's a bad thing ...
I don't know if he meant that he wanted to kill soldiers or Americans here in the US, but I could have sworn I was listening to a Jihadi talking in Spanish. I've been skeptical about the existence of Hispanics here in the US that side with Al Qaeda, but this was without doubt one of them.
Some estimates put the Jewish ancestry of modern Spaniards at something like 25%. It's pretty obvious to even the most casual observer that outside the Basque and Gallician populations, the other 75% of their ancestors were Arabs and North Africans.
The consequence for the Islamofascists is that they have a population of people living right across our border in which they can hide without fear of detection!
Yes it's a bad thing because the Iraqi deaths now are mostly at the hands of the terrorists. IF this caller is so upset about Iraqi deaths, then perhaps he should go to fight AGAINST the terrorists, they are the ones blowing up innocent Iraqis. Were it not for the terrorists there would be zero such problems in Iraq.
it's a horrible thing! that number should be back to 0:0 by now.. if only the liberals weren't so worried about hurting the terrorists feelings, it probably would be.
Please Freepmail me if you would like to be included on the Mexican/Hispanic Media ping list.
I regret that this insane comment is being tied to the fact that this was an Hispanic talk radio program.
The facts are these; thousands and thousands of Hispanic Americans have fought, died and been wounded and maimed for this country. Those are the facts. Seperate and apart from the sometimes nasty, vicious debate about illegal immigration, it is the positive truth about Hispanic Americans and American military service.
And I am talking about their number who fought, died or were wounded in all of our 20th and 21st century wars, now including the War on Terror.
So Milton wants Americans to "feel" what it's like to have the right to vote and express one's political opinion without worrying about being tossed in an industrial shredder?
He should be arrested ASAP.
Eat your heart out, Rush Limbaugh.
Milton is most likely off his meds.
You betcha. My grandfather was half Mexican (and a WWI vet), and as a native Californian, I see lots and lots of very patriotic Mexican immigrants. At swim meets where families go to watch their kids compete, when the national anthem is played, Mexican immigrant families -- grammas, parents, aunts, uncles, little kids -- are typically among the first to stand up, place their hands on their hearts, and listen respectfully. I have seen this often. You're right -- it's unfortunate that this guy calling an Hispanic talk show might be taken as a sign that Hispanics in general are anti-American, where in my experience, that is not an accurate generalization.
it's sad and troubling that anyone living in the US makes these kinds of statments, but it's also good to know that these people are out there and that they aren't just Arabs.
