The minute you disagree with any of these people you are called a racist. Thinking that will shut you up or make your feel guilty. I said if it makes their tail go up calling me that, so be it. I know that I am not.
I heard this on a show one time and it’s the God’s truth by a guest black female doctor saying “That if you prefer vanilla ice cream to chocolate ice cream you are a racist”. Honestly!!!
See, how stupid they are. It is not even worth talking to them. Sadly, some of these fools are in leadership rolls that effect our lives and future.

[...] Alas, Democratic Senator Bob Menendez claims to speak for “those people” who were denied amnesty yesterday and vows, “To those [meaning senators] who have referred to ‘those people’ in this debate, let me say on behalf of ‘those people’, that we have seen the light and we simply will not be thrust back into the darkness.” Thank you, HotAir, for posting his sermonic bloviation.

Menendez is the lowest common denominator for corruption and immorality. The good thing about yesterday. It makes the enemies of our country so easy to see. NIX THE 46

conversation:(slightly OT but immigration related)
I met my mother and one of her friends at Olive Garden for lunch on the 26th. My mother lives 500+ miles aways and spending some time with her and her friend was somewhat enlightning.
In the face of the amnesty situation we now face, I posed the question to my moms friend Mrs.Fanello.(strong local Italian family) I asked exactly this : “Sue, what did your husbands people do when they came here? how did they react?”
After several minutes of background about sneaking to the USA, year 1910, via Canada after a long boat ride from Italy (stowaways) they set up a truly American Dream.
The Fanellos, to this day have very sucessful manufacturing plants, concrete companies and farms in the immediate area. But the amazing thing is this, her husband Joe is the 8th of 10 children, all born between late 20’s and 30’s. None of whom speak a lick of Italian, at least not enough to carry a conversation, perhaps a few curse words here and there.
The kids were not allowed to speak Italian, were told with conviction that they were AMERICANS, and made to act as such. Mrs. Fanello didnt have a problem with me asking “…your people” knowing its not racist but a matter of fact. The common demoniator was were Americans, but my stating “your people” she knew immediatly what I was referring to.
Were not haters or racist if we use the term “those people” or “your people”. You are racists, however, in the eyes of the elitist if your a white American using these terms.

But I’ve figured all this out – al-Qaeda has somehow found a way to turn the entire Bush administration into icky Pod People. That’s the only logical explanation for what’s been going on.

I keep wondering, who is that man and what have they done to the REAL Mr. Bush? The real Bush we used to love is probably being held against his will in a cave in Afghanistan by aliens in cahoots with al-qaeda, leaving the evil pod-bush to confuse and scare us

Menendez should take better care when quoting from the Statue of Liberty. “I lift my lamp beside the golden *door*” not “I lift my lamp beside the phantom fence.”

Where did he come up with the phrase “Those people”? I haven’t heard it during any discussions and I haven’t seen it here at HA except in reference to Menendez and his slimy cohorts in the Senate.

Newt has an excellent plan to track down all “Those people” Menendez was refering to…

“Those People.” What about “those people” who happen to be hispanic who thought this was a terrible bill?? Are they racists, too, Senor Menendez?? There are a lot of hispanics that were against this piece of crap bill. And I’m tired of being called a racist. Being married into a hispanc family, let me tell you they can be some of the most racist people around. Not all of them, but some. Oh, but I forgot, minorities can’t be racist. Yea, right.

This guy is a joke. He got put in there by Corzine only because he was the lesser of the evils to pick from in the NJ Dem cesspool. He’s the typical corrupt Hudson county dem, which in itself is redundant, and then he tries using scare tactics to criticize people using scare tactics.

Let’s face it, Menendez cares only for those of his racial extraction and is willing to trash and destroy any and all of the “common denominator” to accomplish their ends.

He is speaking for them because they no habla English…besides he needs them to vote, illegally of course, in the next election.

These Jersey weenies…pikers, I tell ya. They need to come to Chicago and learn from the great one: Richie “Squeaky” Daley.

You just gotta take your hat off to this guy. Not only does he have as many Mexicans as any mayor outside of LA, he’s got City, County, and State government under his control, and divvied up on a racial spoils system.

Vote? Hell, yes, they vote.

When you see pandering corrupt politicians criticizing Americans for standing up for their country, it makes you wonder what kind of people it takes to put people of this deficient character in office. We HAVE TO scrutinize every candidate, because the stakes are too high to have our country stolen from us by crooked politicians who put theirselves above our country.

It’s a bitch when those whom you allegedly represent want something other than what you want to hand them.

Eat it, Menendez.

If I wanted to open the floodgates to a 20 million Western European illegals, well, what would that make me?

How is that any different than this?

Can anyone even remember a Sen. or even a tv or radio talk show host saying “those people”. I can’t. I’ll say it for them “Those People” ran me and my family out of our last home, a home I worked on for 15 years. It WAS our chance at the Amer. dream..

I remember the good old days, of Rumsfeld and Ashcroft, and an administration that was actually fighting a war to win, insteading of acting in ways that make Democrats look principled and brave.

But I’ve figured all this out – al-Qaeda has somehow found a way to turn the entire Bush administration into icky Pod People. That’s the only logical explanation for what’s been going on.

If only we had harped on this issue last year, dolts like Menendez might be out of a job

Hold that thought for next election. And you guys from NJ don’t need to apologize, your two senators couldn’t have brought on this mess by themselves.

Look, Senator Amnesty here is just doing what Democrats always do when they lose a vote, and even when they win a vote…

Demonize their opponents.

So as a proud member of the fear mongering, hatefilled, lowest common denominator in the great land, I have this to say back to you senator amnesty:

WE WON. YOU LOST. NA-NA, NANA NAH. PFFFFFFTTTTTTTTT…..

I join Vincenzo and Mr. Bingley in apologizing for this miserable excuse for a ~~senator~~ human being. Sadly, Jersey is perhaps the most corrupt state in the union; it is also one of the bluest. Coincidence?

No Menendez, The lowest common denominator lost.

We have laws in this country. Enforce them.
