Schwarzenegger calls immigrant-threat letter a "hate crime"

bash Republicans to help the Dems win.

That's what your leftist hero Arnold is doing with his false and asinine "hate crime" attack on a Republican candidate.

[calcowgirl]

According to what the letter said it would be illegal for Arnold to vote for himself.

Correction: According to what the media said the letter said.
And, of course, if interpreted as the media has, it would also apply to the Vietnam-born candidate who is being accused of sending it.

[Dustbunny]

Geeze, talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill. This is asinine.

[California Patriot]

Yes, it is asinine. A stupid, butt-kissing, unjustified, totally pointless PC reaction on Arnold's part.

For all we know, the offending sentence in the letter could have been an innocent mistake. They just needed to say "non-citizen immigrant" instead of "immigrant." And that would have been consistent with the first part of the letter.

Exercise in logic:

A. You are being sent this letter because you were recently registered to vote. If you are a citizen of the United States, we ask that you participate in the democratic process of voting.


B. "You are advised that if your residence in this country is illegal or you are an immigrant, voting in a federal election is a crime that could result in jail time."

If A is true, and B is true, then C must also be true...

C. Immigrants cannot be American citizens.

The point is that Arnold making this comment was a dumb thing to do, but to use that as an excuse to not vote for him, is a much worse thing to do, to help Angelides and the Dems who are much worse in every respect.

He's been yelling "hate crime" for over 24 hours. This wasn't a slip of the tongue. Don't worry about him losing votes, FO. I'm sure he picked up a few more of Villaraigosa and Núnéz's compadres.

Immigrants cannot be American citizens.

Immigrants can become American citizens. Until then, they can't legally vote.

[calcowgirl]

The polls also don't take into account how many illegals and dead or nonexistent people will be voting Dem. Arnold needs every vote.

Not to worry. He just closed in on the illegal alien vote.

[Mojave]

I'm sure he picked up a few more of Villaraigosa and Núnéz's compadres.

Including some votes by illegal aliens.

[Dustbunny]

Republicans and RINO's are not allowed to make mistakes. /sarc

I'd say Ramirez was a Sanchez plant.

I'd say we're on the page (again). This reeks of set-up.

[AmeriBrit]

I was a legal green card holding immigrant and am now officially a U.S. citizen and I see nothing insulting in the letter what-so-ever. If one cares to read it from the very beginning and is able to comprehend, it's very self explanatory and no reason for anyone to get their knickers in a twist, unless of course their aim is to interpret it wrongly, spread rumours and cause trouble.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Interesting. Thanks for the research.

[calcowgirl]

>>You remember that female professor out at CalState Northridge who "found" hate grafitti on her car, got a lot of "hate crime" mileage of that. Then, it turned out she was the one who put it there.

That was at one of the Claremont colleges, wasn't it?

Ah, yes... this one?

Funny how that works, huh?

C. Immigrants cannot be American citizens.

Looks like Logic 101 to me!

[Mojave]

Arnold's apologists are blind to their own hypocrisy.

[FairOpinion]

"Hmmmmm...you might talk me into it yet. I've left the governor's section blank and I've not mailed my ballot. :)"

I hope so, I really hope so. I hope you realize that your conscience wouldn't let you sleep knowing that you helped Angelides. Grin and bear it and vote for Arnold -- remember he vetoed licenses for illegals, he vetoed the government run universal healthcare bill the Dem Legislature passed -- both of which Angelides is FOR.



Here is what the Dems think are key reasons to vote FOR Angelides. Surely you don't approve of any of them. Arnold is opposing them. Read this and hope that will get your finger moving to vote FOR Arnold to prevent Angelides from winning.


Why every Dem should support Angelides (by Mark Leno, D)(recommended reading for all CA voters)


7 Angelides supports equal marriage rights for all Californians; Schwarzenegger vetoed them

6 Angelides supports affordable universal health care; Schwarzenegger opposes it

3 Angelides fights for a woman’s right to choose and opposes Prop 85;

2 Angelides opposes Bush’s war in Iraq; Schwarzenegger supports it

1 Angelides supports Nancy Pelosi to become Speaker of the House;

Yep. This whole stunt may have had more to do with Correa trying to beat Daucher than the long-shot, expendable Dem-recently-become-Rep Nguyen running against Sanchez. They have overlapping districts.
