Arizona killings highlight risk of fringe activists
Austin American Statesman ^ | 6.20.2009 | Jonathan J. Cooper

PHOENIX — The tagline on Shawna Forde's anti-illegal immigration Web site says her group was "doing the job our government won't do." They wanted to patrol the border, but her small band of activists needed money to do it.

So, authorities say, Forde and two men dressed up as Border Patrol agents and broke into the southern Arizona home of a man they thought was a drug dealer, hunting for money or drugs to sell. They found neither, but killed the man and his 9-year-old daughter.

We should make an offer for the AAS and rename it the Republic of Texas Patriot. (should come dirt cheap)

That would drive the LIbs mad.

"...Really fries my butt to know that thousands of people flood across our borders, and leech off us with virtually no problem and I have to go through 14 kinds of hell and great expense to be able to bring my legitimate foreign wife here. Of course she is well educated, speaks 4 languages fluently and would vote conservative which explains a lot..."

This is exactly what people like Kennedy had in mind. They did not want dentists from Hungary, engineers from Czechoslovakia, tradesmen from Ireland or mathematicians from Germany. To fulfill their marxist, socialist liberal utopia, they give top precedence to people from sub-Saharan Africa who can do NOTHING, don't speak a useful language and are dependent on the government.

That doesn't make those people bad people, because they deserve a shot at the American dream too, but we should be controlling immigration to make our country better and more productive, not more helpless and dependent.

And that is precisely what has been done sine 1964.

There's precious little information about the crime itself. Was the guy a drug dealer?

Yeah and fill it with full page gun show ads and a sports section dedicated to Texas A&M. Their heads would explode.

Thanks for getting my head straight about this group. I had no idea that Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center were anything but courageous, self-less do-gooders, uninterested in the dollars to be made in endless, useless litigation. Next, you're going to tell me that Acorn is involved in voter fraud!

It's pessimists like you who pull the rain clouds over the rainbows and hobble the legs of the prancing unicorns in the new, hopey changey world.

Search: *Shawna Forde* (there are several articles. Seems the guy wasn’t who this group thought he was.

LOL! My apologies. I didn’t see the sarcasm tag...:)

Ummm...is there a chance there might be unicorns? Now that’s hope and change I could believe in!

“Sigh. See #25.”

That’s the picture and I bet Forde’s past is connected to left wing liberal activity and ACORN.....

#10. So you are saying that because Austin and their newspaper are a liberal nuthouse this incident did not happen as reported? I think radical criminals like these characters give truly concerned patriots like us a bad name.

There are kooks in all walks of life. How many ACORN members have committed violent crimes? I know the media would never link the crime to their ACORN activities, but I’m willing to bet there are more than a few bad apples in ACORN. The same can be said about NAACP members. The same goes for the AARP. For as long as 0’s Fascist government and the Communist league of liberal organizations are in power, we can expect to have conservative organizations slammed at every turn, for every reason, especially when someone linked to a conservative cause gives the state controlled media a sensational event.

Typical Alinsky tactics and I hope those three get the death penalty.

Patriotic Americans do not break into house and kill people, but domestic terrorists will for infinity.

For every action, there is a kook reaction.

What really sucks is when, in the process of reacting, they make YOU/ME look bad.

This is life.
