Well, for all of Soros' "power", he sure can't stop a PNAC war.

Nothing upsets a conservative quicker than a rich liberal.

McCain has some shred of fiscal responsibility, and we can't have that now, can we? I maen, he even questioned recent military boondoggles, er, rather, vital defense spending.

The horror.

Yes, Ms. Malkin, tell us aaaaall about the vast George Soros conspiracy. Remind me again where the reverse vampires and mole people fit in...

 
sigdiamond2000 [TotalFark] 2008-01-26 10:28:56 AM  
So basically the entire argument against John McCain in the right wing blogodome is that he doesn't like torture and doesn't hate Mexicans? Does that pretty much sum it up?

That's basically it. I don't understand why Rudy and Romney don't just come out and say that they want to torture simply to get back at the people for 9/11. They'd crush the opposition if they said it.

So, she wants Hillary to win instead?

I'm trying to understand the part where these Attack Unorthodoxy folks think they're helping their cause. Does she seriously believe McCain gets his marching orders from Soros?

Michelle: work on the SHUT UP part a little harder.

I love how anyone against illegal immigration hates Mexicans. I guess we hate Iraq if we're against the war. Or we hate senior citizens if we want to allow young people to opt out of the SS program.

Rhetoric. We've had enough. I'm looking at you too Mittens.

So America is basically falling to McCain as the backup since Obama looks like he's getting destroyed by the Clinowned machine?

Sorry if the truth upsets you. But when loonies are going on about an "invasion" designed to "destroy American culture," then it amounts to little more than hate. What the hell is "American culture," anyway? Illegal immigrants shop at Starbucks and McDonald's and Wal-Mart - that's about as American as you can get.

Loonies. Not all of us are loonies. What's wrong with enforcing the laws? If you want to allow open borders and remove citizenship from the laws, do it. Don't ignore the laws you don't like and enforce the ones you do. It makes you sound like GWB.

The problem with "enforce the law, we don't need new laws" is that in almost every case, they're pushing for new laws to boot Mexicans out of the country.

That's not an immigration problem, that's an entitlements problem. Illegal immigration is a symptom of how screwed up the tax system and entitlements system are. Eliminate the income tax and impose sales taxes, and eliminate and/or reduce entitlements. Problem solved.

I like the FairTax.. too bad it's too good of an idea to ever work in this country.

I also like the idea that Arizona had.. PUNISHING employers that hire illegals.. what happened? They deported themselves! (new window)

I don't like McCain, but the fact that the nutcases on the Right are hysterical about his chances to win the nomination makes me wonder..maybe he won't be that bad.

Legal and illegal Hispanics left the state. You know what else happened? Wages went haywire and all sorts of people foreclosed on their homes. Employers illegally started discriminating against any Hispanic person. Way to go, Arizona!

Is this what you truly believe LocalCynic? I happen to live in Arizona and have yet to see any of this.

All those damn foreclosures must be from illegal immigrants leaving the state, because Arizona is the only state with increased foreclosures....

Also, what wages went haywire?

Oh, and your last point.... Nobody is allowed to even report businesses till next month, so your point on all that discrimination is kinda BS :)

FairTax, if implemented, will ruin this country faster than the current credit crisis. You think you're in a crunch now, wait 'till you're paying $5 for a gallon of milk. All those taxes that drive the price of your gas up? How about we double 'em and see what happens.

But hey, you're okay with that, 'cuz you're getting your $80 a week back!

There's no tax on milk or other necessary consumables.

But anyone who want to reform entitlements is an evil hateful monster who want poor people to die and children to starve.

So if you complain about Mexicans crossing the border and running our entitlements into bankruptcy your an evil hate monger who wants to lynch Mexicans. If your insist on reforming our entitlement system to prevent bankruptcy your an evil hate monger who wants children to starve.

Must be easy to be a liberal you can proclaim to be open to all opinions but every single time somebody has a different opinion you call them a hate monger who wants to kill people. must be nice having living in a reality proof world.

Because he supports Dumbocrat projects, instead of Red Blooded Amurrican projects. And he apparently eats babies. Live. Without salt.

The only thing scarier than a terrorist, is George Soros.

He was a maverick until he started lickin' Bush's ass?

Jon Snow: What the fark do these idiots think that Soros has done anyway?

He's an easy target to demonize as a 'limosine liberal' and because he has his hands in so many pies it's simple to call him some kind of 'mastermind' behind perceived liberal smears on Republican ideas and activities. Why debate the actual charges by a place like Media Matters when you can just say "Soros-funded Media Matters is lying again..." Remember the study about Bush's lies this week? It was immediately shot down by the right because it was funded by a group that had ties to Soros. WITHOUT A WORD about the actual contents of the study. The art of Ad Hominem, at a national level.

Boils down to it, when in doubt, blame the brown people. Always blame the brown people. Nothing drums up support faster.

Never mind how many brown people you have in your own camp, who support you, who you shill for yourself, it's the brown people OVER THERE! that are the bad ones.

So many cats looking at the finger, instead of where's it's pointing...

skyrous: So if you complain about Mexicans crossing the border and running our entitlements into bankruptcy your an evil hate monger who wants to lynch Mexicans.

I'll let you in on a dirty little secret: our entitlements are driving us into bankruptcy, regardless of whether there are illegal immigrants in this country. If we expel all twelve million illegal immigrants, who are you going to demonize next for bankrupting the country? Are you going to say it's those damned poor people?

I say if we're going to spend ourselves into bankruptcy, the more the merrier.

I was under the impression that it was the liberals who think that the 'brown people' are too backwards and underdeveloped to accept freedom and democracy; the conservatives were the ones who stood up bravely and said "You know what - they deserve better."

 
The Why Not Guy [TotalFark] 2008-01-26 12:22:40 PM  
I guess we hate Iraq if we're against the war

Um... what?

As for stronger immigration policies being interpreted as "hating Brown people" here's part of why that happens: all the rhetoric is aimed at the workers, while the employers (who benefit just as much if not more) are left alone. I see the same dynamic in the gay marriage debate - if someone was really interested in protecting the sanctity of marriage, they'd go after divorce, not homosexuals.

Depends on the brown people. SOME brown people have cash, and aren't afraid to spend it. All depends who they're spending it on. If it's on your boy, then they're cool. If they're spending it on someone you don't like, then THEY'RE BUYING DEMOCRACY!!!!!!

Same with yellow people too though.

It does boil down to a simple maxim in politics: follow the money. Always follow the money. Tell's a much clearer tale than the rhetoric...
