Hispanic man refuses to speak English at Health care townhall (And the crowd goes nuts- video)
Youtube ^ | 9-6-09

Posted on 09/06/2009 3:40:23 PM PDT by blueglass

This is a video of a Healthcare Town Hall with CT Rep. Jim Himes. A hispanic "clergyman" stands up and speaks english at first, but then switches to spanish because the representative speaks fluent spanish. The crowd goes wild, and things are said. Let's just say the sea of angry white faces is not happy.

Yeah, he's a bishop. Nice try friend. Just because you claim to be a holy man doesn't mean I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. I bet you marched on May Day just like the rest of the illegal communists. Learn the language, and adios, bonehead.

Like the great Reverend Manning says, “White folks ain't gonna take it no more! I hope they let me join ‘em!”

Exactly ... doesn’t matter if he’s a bishop or a hamburger flipper — you live in our country, you speak our language, period.

Wish someone had asked him why he wasn’t brave enough to ask his question in English......

Yes, that is definitely a tactic of the looney left. Everyone is a reverend, a bishop, a healer, a trans-channeler what have you. The democrat coalition is made up of gays, wiccans, the unemployable, blacks, illegals, criminals- and on and on. I’ll take our side ANY DAY.

“How do we allow a world where, if you lose your job you lose your health insurance?”

Hey. How do we allow a world where you lose your job? Let’s guarantee nobody can lose their job ever again! Wouldn’t that be heavenly?

Our politicians have given the country away to 3rd worlders...this began with Edward Kennedy and the change in the immigration laws in 1964.

Good for the people of Connecticut. Pandering to this BS is getting ridiculous.

When my customers call now, I don’t have anybody available to speak Spanish, and I tell them I can’t, they’ll have to get somebody to call that speaks English. They’ll usually do one of two things:

They’ll get huffy and start calling you names they don’t think you’ll understand, at which time, I tell them, Esto es los Estados Unidos. Se habla Ingles aqui. Or,

They just start speaking English. Most of them can, they just try to push it.

Actually, Paul in the Bible taught that if you are a Christian, you are to obey and subject yourself to the governing authorities of the land you find yourself in. This includes paying taxes and obeying the laws of that nation. In Romans 13, verse two Paul basically states -those that actively oppose authority, oppose God. Coming to this country illegally, and living off of the decent taxpayers of this nation certainly violates this. I would like to ask the bishop this— in english.

If he asked in English then the Demons couldn’t claim that those who oppose health care are racists. I’m not a Gambling man, but I WILL bet that the whole thing was staged knowing that thats the reaction the crowd would give.

“HISTORY IN THE MAKING.” The guest speaker was Bishop Emilio Alvarez of Stamford, Connecticut. He delivered a message entitled “Making history by killing giants.” When referring to that message, Pagani said, “Wheeze! All I can say is, Wao! I have never seen a Spanish speaking minister preach like that, I thought I was listening to a Spanish T.D. Jakes.”

Yes, I like this leftwing site's headline:

"Racist teabaggers at Rep. Himes (D-CT) townhall heckle Bishop for asking question in Spanish."

Or this:

"Bishop heckled at Himes town hall meeting "

The clown speaks english but chose to speak in spanish to be divisive.

Nothing more, nothing less.

If this would have happened some 50 years ago, the American crowd would have bodily thrown his ass out of the meeting hall. Now, they only protest, vocally.

The Bishop was rude and inconsiderate. People are more than fed up with immigrants refusing to speak English.

How about:

you study hard for years, doing 2 jobs to put yourself through school... Only to graduate and have to pay $2 to the slack-ass crack heads in order to make $1

yea... That’s fair

Do I have to remind you, sir, that this is a man of the cloth?

Ha, I'm just kidding. This fool on his webpage is wearing enough bling to be a pimp, yo, yo check it. He's just another gangbanging moron. He probably got his bishopness credentials out of a box of cereal.

Seriously, I would pee on him first, and THEN I would throw him outside the town hall meeting.

Actually, I’m a little disappointed in the crowd at this meeting. They’re too mellow. They should’ve out-shouted him and shut him out like another crowd did when the union leader was speaking a week or so ago. He had to stop and go away.

Especially when the purpose of changing languages was to exclude the majority of attendees from the public debate with a public official. If the Hispanic man spoke no English, it would have been appropriate to have a translator so everyone else understood the question. In that way, everyone else could debate on what the public official said. This deliberate choice of two people to switch to a minority language in public debate was a "Hispanic activist gets priority in debate over everyone else" slap to the citizenry.
