Amid swine flu outbreak, racism goes viral- Anti-immigrant hatred spreads on talk radio, web..
MSLGBT ^ | 5/1/09 | Brian ALexander

“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.

That's not to say the Left aren't emotional. It's just that they know how to hide it.

Man you are way confused.

Ever watch Olberman, Mathews, Maddow, etc? Ever listen to Garafalo, or any other of their Air America lefies?

I can't believe you even posted that. NPR, yes, they all sound quiet and reasonable - just like the zombies they are.

The only "flu" statement on the National Council of La Raza's web site is a hit piece against our Nation condemming the racist notion that Illegal immigrants are bringing the flu into this country.

The flu started in Mexico. And it is what it is. To hell with LaRaza.

“They’re making us all look bad.”

No matter what you do or say the left will say you are bad. So, just tell the truth and let whatever happens, happen.

“Took a wrong turn in Chicago today, I was driving thru a residential neighborhood where almost every house had a Mexican flag flying in front. Didn’t stop to ask directions...”

You must have been in Pilsen or Little Village. Both towns have been completely taken over by Mexicans. The number of illegals from Mexico that are in the Chicagoland area (Chicago and the collar counties) is enormous, with a conservative estimate being 1.5 million.

“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.”

That’s a fact.

Except he’s right. Illegal aliens have brought in all kinds of diseases here. Including Swine flu. You like illegal aliens here?

And tuberculosis and leprosy, and typhoid, and bubonic plague and polio and bedbugs and scores of other pestilences we had nearly forgotten about in America.

Right on. Those who go all mushy and quivering in the face of Libtard criticism are no help.

Mexico is just another example of the mentality that keeps third world countries third world countries. They do not make their own wealth, but sit around demanding that someone else supply it, as though it's their right to the fruits of someone else's labor.

Sure, there are inequities between American and Mexican culture. But those differences by themselves do not endow the lesser of the two with any demands, nor the greater with any obligations.

We made our own money. Make yours. And quit pretending you have a right to come here just because you want to.

Sometimes I think this ‘Swine flu’ media coverage is to take the heat off what is really happening in Mexico and the DAILY murders and mayhem going on down there, which is a REAL danger to all of us.

The latest M3Report:

Demands for immigration reform and open borders continue despite violence and killings

La Voz (Morelia, Michoacán) 4/30/09

The body of the police chief at Charo, Michoacán, was found yesterday dumped by the side of a road. His face had been “destroyed”, he had been tortured and his hands were handcuffed. He had been shot “at least” six times with an AK47 rifle.

El Diario (Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua) 4/30/09

* On Wednesday, late in the evening, a man and a woman went to the police station at Gomez Palacio, Durango, and asked about a detainee. When the “commander” of the “Joint Unit against Drug Retailing” went to talk to them, they shot him on the spot and killed him. This latest execution took place less than 24 hours after the forcible abduction of the Chief of Security of Prison # 2 of that city.

* After the recent attacks and assassinations of seven Tijuana police, the city began the day with no law enforcement agents and the city’s main street crossings were devoid of police. During the killing of the seven, thugs used the police radio frequency to warn that at least twenty police would be murdered and that it was all ordered by Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who has been disputing control of Tijuana as a drug operation base.

* The attachment is a photo of Gregorio Sauceda Gamboa, one of the DEA “most wanted” and a leading “Zeta” thug and Gulf Cartel member, shortly after his arrest in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, yesterday (Wed.; this event has been covered by the U.S. national press)

Excelsior (Mexico City) 4/30/09

* (Last April 20 we reported on the death of eight Mex. federal agents, mostly “AFI” (Mex. equiv. to FBI), during an attack and failed attempt by thugs to rescue Geronimo Gamez, a Gulf Cartel finance head, who was being transported to prison at Tepic, Nayarit)
A Mexican federal judge has now ordered twelve “AFI” agents to be placed into temporary, 40-day detention; the twelve are under investigation for their possible connection with the failed attempt to liberate Geronimo Gamez.

* Juarez’ wave of violence continued on Wednesday. Two men and a 14 yr. old girl were shot and killed in Guadalupe, in the Juarez Valley; another man was killed while walking out in the street in the Fidel Avila section. And two other men and a woman are in critical condition in a Juarez clinic after being shot while riding in a vehicle. A female police officer, herself a widow of a murdered policeman, was shot and killed outside her home by thugs in a passing vehicle.
