Hostility . . . and hypocrisy (Lindsay Graham calls amnesty opponents "bigots"}
The Washington Times ^ | June 1, 2007 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 06/01/2007 5:58:09 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

The U.S. government is on the verge of approving a mass amnesty to millions of illegal aliens -- a plan pushed aggressively by meddling Mexican officials who reap billions of dollars in remittances (illegal aliens' earnings sent back to Mexico) without having to lift a finger to clean up their own country. And the thanks we get? Internationally televised public humiliation.

Monday night, the beautiful young woman who represented America in the Miss Universe pageant was booed and mocked as she competed in Mexico City. Rachel Smith, 22, did her best to respond with grace and dignity during the Top Five finalists' interview segment as the audience disrupted the event.

As soon as co-host Vanessa Minnillo invited Miss USA to pick a judge's name from a bowl of index cards, widespread howls broke out at the mere mention of "USA." The verbal derision continued as judge Tony Romo asked Miss Smith to pick one moment in her life she would relive. Definitely not this one.

Miss Smith soldiered through her answer, describing an educational trip to South Africa. Catcalls and whistles nearly drowned out he reply until she wrapped up with "Buenos noches, Mexico." I wouldn't have been so polite.

None of Miss USA's fellow Americans participating in the interview segment -- neither Miss Minnillo, nor macho co-host Mario Lopez, nor the dashing Mr. Romo -- came to Miss Smith's defense. Instead, Miss Minnillo pleaded briefly with the unruly mob: "OK, una momento, por favor." Mr. Lopez stood mute with a dumb grin on his dimpled face. Pathetic.

In fact, Miss Smith was subjected to anti-American hatred throughout the weeklong event. Last week, during the contestants' national costume fashion show, Miss Smith smiled bravely as a rowdy outdoor crowd hissed and booed at her.

That’s all okay. Bush is pals with them illegals and wants to be their best new buddy. Like his old pal Fat Ted Kennedy. Ole Georgie really knows how to pick em. I wish his term was up. I have had all I want to George W. Bush. Time for him to move back to Crawford and let his little ranch become the illegals stop over headquarters.

As I said in a previous posting, I’ll be glad when Bush leaves office.

Here’s another one.

Lindsay Graham is unfit to be a U.S. Senator.

You’ll get no arguments from me on that, not one, not even a tiny little one. In 2000 I yelled, “Go George, go!” Now I say: “George, JUST GO!”

Goober Graham will NOT be re-eleced in South Carolina.

He will lose in the Republican Primary.

Well, first he has to be opposed by a credible opponent. Hasn’t happened yet, although I’m hopeful.

Oh No! Not a bigot?!?!?! Run away, run away. Be very scared.

King Arthur: Run away!

Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a bigot.
Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with bigots?
Peasant 1: Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from bigots?
Peasant 1: More bigots.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do bigots burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they’re made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she’s made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Peasant 2: ...A bigot!

Sen. Lindsay Graham, South Carolina Republican, trashed immigration enforcement proponents as "bigots" in front of the ethnocentric, open-borders group La Raza. Yeah, we're the nativists.

Pandsey, you've stepped way over the line a bunch of times.

We need a rock-solid conservative to step up and help us take out this traitorous POS.

Lindsey Ping

Add me to the list. / Remove me from the list.

We're called bigots for insisting upon secure borders and no welfare for Mexico. I guess to be a patriot is to be a bigoted person. If you're for Open Borders, you're compassionate, enlightened and caring. Barf!

Why do politicians lose their sanity? Is the water in the capitol tainted?

“Pandsey, you’ve stepped way over the line a bunch of times.”

True, but this is worse than anything he’s done before. Send him into retirement, he has forfeited any right to represent his state or country.

I have so much sadness for you conservatives. Soon the Republican Party will be no more. It will be filled with RINOs, moderates, and left-republicans.

We are all just a bunch of ‘bigots’ (says Graham) who want to ‘lynch illegals’ (says Chertoff) and we are guilty of using ‘empty political rhetoric trying to frighten our fellow citizens’, ‘trying to rile up people’s emotions’ (says Bush). You all got that? Conservatives are the ones in the wrong here, it is OUR fault, we are the ones being disloyal, we are the ones abandoning “the cause”. Yup...
