“No contact anywhere with an illegal alien!” conservative talk show host Michael Savage advised his U.S. listeners this week on how to avoid the swine flu. “And that starts in the restaurants" where he said, you “don’t know if they wipe their behinds with their hands!”
And Thursday, Boston talk radio host Jay Severin was suspended after calling Mexican immigrants "criminalians" during a discussion of swine flu and saying that emergency rooms had become "essentially condos for Mexicans."
That’s tepid compared to some of the xenophobic reactions spreading like an emerging virus across the Internet. “This disgusting blight is because MEXICANS ARE PIGS!” an anonymous poster ranted on the “prison planet” forum, part of radio host and columnist Alex Jones’ Web site.
There is even talk of conspiracy. Savage speculated that terrorists are using Mexican immigrants as walking germ warfare weapons. “It would be easy,” he said, “to bring an altered virus into Mexico, put it in the general population, and have them march across the border.”
As about 130 cases of H1N1 virus, known as swine flu, have been confirmed across the United States, from San Diego to New York City, the growing public health concern has also exposed fear and hate.

I’m not going to click on the link, but the acronym looks an awful lot like a pillow-biter site. Why post anything from a site like that?
I noticed that they lumped 9/11 truther Jones in with the conservatives.
Same reason people post the leftist tripe from the NYTIMESCBSABCNBCCNNLATIMESBOSTONGLOBE
On purpose.
Premise; swine flu outbreak originated in Mexico.
Premise; Mexicans regularly transit the border with the United States, often surreptitiously.
Conclusion: illegal Mexican border-crossers might be spreading swine flu.
How is that “racist?”
We're not going to win hearts and minds by going down the Trent Lott road either.
Me too. A friend told me about him a couple years ago so I tuned in to listen. I could only take about two weeks of his rudeness and quit listening to him. I like some of what he says but even that, can’t stand how he says it.
Well, it is Boston.
Absolutely true. Handling leftist callers is something that Limbaugh still does better than any others, far and away. Hannity, Levin, and especially Savage talk all over callers, cut them off and mock them without debate. Granted, some deserve it, but the mushy middle in this country that decides elections are just put off by this behavior.
He’s mocking MSNBC, but you probably already knew that.
We still have factories in the US? Who knew?
Savage refers to MSNBC as MSGLBT.
Honestly though, it doesn't matter. Liberal progressives have a mentality very very differant than you or I.
I have attempted to listen to their side, their arguments, their logic....it's just warped.
From time to time as I commute home, I will dial in a local radio station here in Houston, 90.1 fm and just listen.
Whoa baby!!! It's just nuts. Finally went to their website...again, whoa baby. Check it out.

Rabidly liberal.
A lot of the “mushy middle” you describe were that way before they started listening to Rush and Savage. If we don’t loudly proclaim ideas out there who is going to listen? There’s nothing wrong with what Savage does, he fills a unique void in the conservative movement in that we need someone angry to advance our cause. Rush and Hannity are too general at times, when they were talking about the bailouts, Savage was talking about the four Oakland police officers who got shot. Savage brings a street-fighting perspective to conservatism. BTW, Hannity never talks over a caller or shut debate he tries to reason with libtards which never work.
Mexico is a dump. It is a dump because of the culture. The physical entity of Mexico has immense resources, two coasts, oil, minerals, arable land. But the culture has made it a drug-ridden, feudal dump. In fact one only has to travel through the neighboring states of New Mexico, or Arizona, to see it. Trashiest states in the union.
How obvious is it? Is it racist to recognize a tragedy of human depravity or ignorance that has consumed a society? Is that the kind of cultural diversity that Americans want to embrace?
Mexico, as a society, should be led to solve its own problems without invading a neighboring nation (which has been a generous one at that). And the American politician should be insisting on that. Any Mexican citizen should come to the US through the front door, just like every other legitimate world immigrant.
Carlos Slim is laughing in his bathrobe at the stupidity and naivete of American government. Viruses ARE transmitted through lack of hygiene.
The Council on Foreign Relations is the most arrogant, and inept, cabal of elitists on the planet.
Just in time for amnesty.
