Illegal Immigration is the number one issue in America today. It encompasses absolutely every other issue there is on the table.

Tom, is that you? Who let you in? This blog is full.

While I agree with your frustration over the lack of media coverage, this excuse is a cop-out, and it’s views such as this that are actually partly to blame.

And I agree it’s a cop-out. It’s easy to get beaten down in this state. That’s a great link. Now have you done your duty?

Yup.

Weenies. At least have the decency to quote something macho, like the Princess Bride.

No way I’d drive to Hollyweird to make a point that the local news wouldn’t cover

Conservatives have not given the media any real reason to cover events such as this. Drawing 500 – 1000 people is not exactly ‘newsworthy.’

Now if people such as yourself were to actually show up, and the rest of the ‘talk a good game’ conservative crowd were to do the same, suddenly Hollywood Blvd is flooded by 10,000 instead of 1000 and you would see the media forced to give coverage.

Stand up and do something!

How many HotAir readers whiners attended the Hollywood protest on Saturday. I know we have plenty of California readers on here. Show of hands keyboards?

Crap. I didn’t know about it.

1. DHS admitted it lied to congress regarding facts/evidence they claimed they had, but did not
2. Border Patrol agent beaten in jail.
3. Border Agent Investigator had ties to Smuggler
4. Agents Did Report Shooting. ( + 7 other agents + 2 Supervisors were at the scene, received report per Border Patrol Policy and assisted with picking up the brass from shots fired.

and:

5. Border patrol agents fired after testimony changed (although that’s mentioned above).
6. Aldrete-Davila left cell phone in van.

That has nothing to do with this thread but I just thought I’d throw it in there for good measure.

I did live in Miami for 3 years. Cubans do not like Mexicans. Don’t confuse the two. They don’t like illegal Mexican aliens either.

Interesting story, but it is WND. They’re not known for being the most, um, accurate or unbiased source of information.

Slublog on February 12, 2007 at 3:03 PM

Okay, there’s no denying that WND takes the side of the U.S. and conservatives on issues, but slublog … do you have any examples of WND stories which proved to be “inaccurate” or false? And which sources currently supporting Johnny Sutton’s story have proved to be “unbiased” or traditionally “honest” or “accurate?”

Oh, WND is unquestionably biased. They’re biased toward the US and toward the Bill of Rights.

PRCalDude on February 12, 2007 at 5:26 PM

Exactly. And please cite the instances of WND’s inaccuracies. I must have missed the “Rathergate” at WND…

10,080 minutes and counting and nothing but a swipe at Tancredo. All of the below came out last week and are supported by news articles, easily found on worldnetdaily.com and at other news sites.

P.S. I find it especially troubling that you have covered none of this because of your position on the agents and any person defending them/questioning the incident and your continual derision of Tancredo.

Wrong. Again.

September 11th “offended” me……..

Anybody else “offended”…….

There will be Toyotas in the field of this year’s Daytona. The end is near!

SailorDave on February 12, 2007 at 3:15 PM

Unfortunately, NASCAR isn’t too big on seeing how long an engine will last with the proper maintenance, so I don’t know if they’ll be a big hit.

Are you trying to tell us something natesnake?

I figured after the divorce and a few dozen failed relationships, I’d try something different. 95% of teh ghey lifestyle is great! I dressed better, I smelled better, my house was clean, I went to cultured events like the ballet, I cooked like a Master Chef, and used “product” that made my skin blemish free and smooth.

That last 5%? Yeah, I didn’t like that last 5% so much.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Maybe we can look for the commercial during the Daytona 500 this weekend. I don’t think NASCAR will have a problem with it.

At trial, Vasquez contradicted the statements of other agents present at the scene when he said he was unable to smell nearly 800 pounds of marijuana when he opened the door to Aldrete-Davila’s abandoned van.

They KNEW what was in the van, the BP’s had probable cause, this is FAR from over.
