Lindsay Graham to La Raza: “We’re gonna tell the bigots to shut up.”

Sen. Lindsay Graham, it’s fair to say, is a squish in immigration law enforcement. He supports “comprehensive immigration reform,” which is code for amnesty. Graham received an award last March from La Raza (English: The Race–and they’re not talking track & field), and among the other open borders bromides had this to say:
You can watch the whole speech here, and I encourage you to do so. Graham comes off as a sincere, well-meaning but misguided fellow until the personal story professing such surprise that a man named Garza could be a great American–soft bigotry of low expectations, anyone?–and that late line about “bigots.”
Who is he talking about?
Or them.
Or them.
He’s surely not talking about the people right in front of him, who belong to a group called “The Race” and who say things like this.
I get it. He must be talking about them. And him. And all of us who support border enforcement.
Which is outrageous, of course.
(thanks to MR)

Now I could write something like:
You know, that Lindsey Graham is clueless. Does he not know that La Raza is a rascist, bigoted organization in and of itself? What on God’s green earth is he doing even meeting with them in the first place, AND calling those of us who believe in strong enforcement of our immigration laws “bigots”?
So, I could write that but then I’d be off-topic, wouldn’t I?

CliffHanger,
Hmm, lets see. Lindsey Graham is a, what’s that word I am looking for…A potluck..Pileof…Pieceof…Oh yea right Politician. When he’s not spanking a escort, er getting a massage from an escort, or stealing money from an orphans trust fund, taking a bribe, or just plain stealing tax money then obviously he must be lying his ass of to someone promising them pie in the sky and a chicken in every pot if they will only vote for him. So yea your little tirade just might be off topic a little bit.
Rock on……………….

According to Graham, “I have never met a better American than Dan Garza.”
It’s great to know that Graham identifies him as an American and not some sort of hyphenated American. But more to the point: If Garza is an American sergeant in the US Air Force, what are the odds that he is an illegal immigrant? Zero!
Graham in his shamelessness or shameful ignorance is equating a hard working NCO with a Hispanic name with folks who break our laws; a legal US citizen who has sworn an oath to protect this country with people who have trampled on our laws.
Dan Garza may be for a “comprehensive” immigration plan (Graham doesn’t make that assertion, though) but he doesn’t deserve to be thought of as part of the problem (as Graham implies he is) just because his last name sounds Hispanic.

REEElax…As a native of Miss Lindsey’s hometown…I can say, we didn’t want him the first go round.
AND HE WILL NOT RETURN FOR ANOTHER TERM AFTER THAT GANG OF FOURTEEN CLUSTER.
They are FED SLAP UP with his happy @$$ at home, and there are STORIES TO TELL….so needless to say, that is why I am INSISTING THAT THERE WILL BE A
FRED! / McVAIN ticket.
Miss Lindsey has too much baggage and pocket books filled with trash….WHITE TRASH.

I’ll see that, and raise you 50 pesos!

Just call me a “bigot” Lindsey. I really don’t need to be paying taxes for illegal aliens to fill up the emergency wards in this country, driving down wages as they work for less with fraudulent I.D.’s,…..He (lindslee) just ticks me off. What a jerk.

so then the point you’re going to try to defend is that some hotair commenters didn’t defend hal turner?
so then clearly if you’re capable of percieving me as ignorant, you must be able to refute me with something more substantial than assertion without evidence. have at it, socrates. why do my comments appear ignorant to you?

Now you’re in line with a growing Mexican group - the Mexica-Movement folks. They say they are non-violent, but they emphasize that all Europeans, including Hispanics, will leave the North American continent, like it or not (check the Policy Page). Their signs were everywhere at the one-year-ago marches.

Does Graham use little pink waterwings when he goes swimming?

>why do my comments appear ignorant to you?
As for me, it’s because you don’t capitalize.

If this thread solved nothing else, this is a given - using com*unist and so*ialist in a comment will get it held up every single time. These being two of my top nemeses, I learned the hard way - thus the stars from now on.
Silverstar, I hope you will get to read this. Regards,

Hey Lindsay,
Its BORDERS, LANGUAGE & CULTURE you turncoat!

Well, that was fun.
Was like being back posting on gaming forums again..

I don’t know…your average gaming forum has a lot more blinkered profanity and there are more declarations of one person having had intercourse with your girlfriend/wife/sister/mother than I find here. Given the age and limited vocabulary of many of the console gamers, it’s a lot easier to insult them into submission than you could get away with here. Another plus on this forum is most people here use conventional grammer instead of text message abbreviations. Man I hated that.
Fun discussion none the less. Tune in tomorrow for elitist snob team-up: Honora will use her fearsome spelling skill to teach jummy how to spell ‘bigot’. It’s not
. If you’re going to smear groups of people with fearsome disdain, no less, at least have the common courtesy to get the spelling right.

I remain astounded at the ignorance of the majority of the Senate Republicans while they commit political suicide ~ individually and collectively.
