So just where did those thousands and thousands of protesters that showed up around the country to protest an immigration bill in Congress come from? Were they angry immigrants sitting in their government housing watching C-SPAN...only to become upset at a bill that was just out of committee? Not hardly.
The truth is starting to come out about just where these folks came from. They were protesting in the street because.....because they were told to. It turns out the Spanish media was stoking the fire. In fact, they went a step further...even telling them when and where to protest...what to wear and how to do it. It was an all-out propaganda war.
And just where will you hear this reported? Not in the mainstream media. They will report that the protests took place, then say nothing about how they got there. As it turns out, these were essentially rent-a-mobs..carefully coordinated over a period of weeks to show up and do their thing.
If the media really wanted to do their job, they would have sent a reporter into the crowd with a microphone to ask the protesters just which bill they were protesting and what the language of the legislation was. Good luck on that one.
The best Sheeple they could find.
Perhaps the irony was too subtle for you? Try this instead:
"The truth is starting to come out about just where these folks came from. They were protesting in the street because ..... because they were told to. It turns out talk radio media was stoking the fire. In fact, they went a step further ... even telling them when and where to protest ... what to wear and how to do it. It was an all-out propaganda war."
God forbid, they even had a WEB SITE with information on WHEN AND WHERE to protest (nothing like that happens here at Free Republic, move along, folks, there's nothing to see here ; )
Were those buses taking the students to, or from, the protest? Too bad Cindy Sheehan was not able to make this kind of hay re: her counter-protesters right here at Free Republic.
The area should have been cordoned off and as "protestors" were leaving they should have been asked to prove US citizenship or produce a legal "green card". Failure on either count would have put them immediately on a bus to the Mexican border.
I don't know about school buses, but I did hear that a whole mob of Irving students boarded the Texas Rail train without paying, to ride to the city hall riot. Beats me why the conductor allowed the train to move with that having occurred.
This was organized by the hispanics who gain the most from any legislation that doesn't deport them and/or consider them felons.
Good thing I didn't go to the protest then, because I could not have "proven" U.S. citizenship like that either. Quick question: do you want all LEGAL immigration stopped too?
That was Saturday! Taking people to and from.
Perhaps methods are similar in the 2 ways you decribed.
Where is the "irony"
This guy should be deported.
ACCESS may be the most frightening funder of the conference because its chief, Ismael Ahmed, is running for University of Michigan regent in the November elections. And because American tax dollars fund his organization American tax dollars which he then used to pay for this hateful conference.
According to its latest annual report, in 2001, ACCESS got at least 73.6% of its $10.2 million annual revenue from taxpayers. ACCESS, North America's largest Arab welfare agency, funded commercial driving lessons and attempts to get hazardous-materials hauling certificates for Ahmed Hannan and Karim Koubriti, members of Detroit's recently indicted al-Qaida cell. When confronted by the press, ACCESS chief and Michigan regent candidate Ahmed dismissed their al-Qaida membership as a mere "political credential."
After 9/11, ACCESS organized and publicized in The Detroit News a campaign against universities cooperating with federal agents trying to find foreign students linked to terrorism.
ACCESS, which thinks nothing of funding the anti-Semitic hate conference in Ann Arbor, was paid $1.3m. to provide "sensitivity training" to the Dearborn Police Department, Wayne County Sheriff's Department, and Dearborn and Detroit Public Schools. Ahmed also opposed the Clinton Counter-terrorism Act of 1996 because it prohibited donations to terrorist groups, including Hizbullah and Hamas.
Everyone should be concerned not just with the hate and support for terrorism that went on at the University of Michigan Divestment Conference, but with who is funding it not only those closely associated with al-Qaida and Hamas, but unwitting American taxpayers themselves. Hopefully they will keep that in mind, as they go to the polls to hold accountable legislators who freely gave American tax money to ACCESS, and an irresponsible U-M Regent candidate, Ahmed the man who misused their money to foment hate and support terrorism.
Two thoughts.
The most heinous thing is that the Mexican flag is on top. That is beyond rude and offensive.
However, both flags being flown upside down indicate a country or location in distress.
These were not Rent-a-mobs though the rest of the article seems accurate. Does Boortz really believe we don't have millions of anti-American Leftists happy to make trouble for the GOP.
Have a jolly time in Cancun.
That is the beginning of a good idea.
Yes. Absolutely correct.
And now we get to see what we all do about it.
We live in interesting times.
Rent-A-Mob = Flashmobs.
See Bill Wasik:
>>> Bill Wasik and the Flash Mob<<<
>>>The inventor of the Flash Mob, Bill Wasik, recently revealed his identity. Wasik is a senior editor at Harpers Magazine. The flash mobs were gatherings of hip, strangers via high tech means (text message, email, etc.) to do something pointless, but quirky and cute like hold a tissue in the air and drop it or gather around an expensive rug at Macy’s. They started off in Manhattan in the summer of 2003 and spread all around the world according to their entry in wikipedia. When Wasik claimed credit for starting the micro-craze, he announced that his intention was to mock the youth hipster culture as nothing more than a race to the next trend. He purportedly intended to draw attention to the hipster’s blind faith in anything with a whiff of irony, despite the stench of confusion, creative want, and conformity.<<<<<
