Good work. Keep it up….

The term “criminal illegals” is used by those who do not understand the consequences language has in shaping an issue.

The same people who thought it was a good idea to publicly call a very common sense action the “nuclear option” are the same people who think “criminal illegals” is a good idea….its also why we constantly, year after year, fail to bring popular culture closer to the other side.

Feel free to feel smart about shooting yourself in the foot if you must though…

BLAM! *OWWW!*

Okay, here goes: the above-stricken paragraph is an ill comparison to justify your soap-box view of the world. We’re not debating “the nuclear option” here, so the analogy is tired and poorly used.

Further, you don’t go as far as to describe or explain how, even to my whittle, shot-myself-in-da-foot, smartypants self;

A) the consequences involved in such language shaping the issue (in relation to the terminology, and
B) Why you’d assume I’m one of those people in the argument you witlessly loft me into.. which I’m not.. and attempt to divert the subject with a poor analogy and you still don’t give an example of what “bringing popular culture to the other side [year after year]” means.

Then again, maybe you’re right. I should just get to the hospital and get this taped right up.

Schlussel’s thievery charge is as valid as if I started saying every blog that covered Latino hate crimes against Blacks were stealing from me because I “covered it first.” It’s impossible for anyone, the mighty Schulssel included, to know if a story their working on has been or is being covered eslewhere, including by Hannity. I’m not a fan, but given Debbies track record on blowing things way out of proportion, I’d take Hannity’s word over hers.

On the other hand maybe he’s just doesn’t want to be associated with her, so doesn’t site her blog o’ crazy. I know I’ve stopped sourcing her, I get enough hate mail as it is…

Not sure how this video clip has now turned into someone’s (yours, Rob) with me. That’s what’s really “o’crazy.”

But, Rob, you need to go back and review what plagiarism is. Your failed analogy is completely invalid. Maybe this is why I never heard of you and why you cannot understand what it’s like to be stolen from–I doubt anyone has every ripped off from your writing. And we can see why.

Hannity stole my original exclusive work and reporting. Only I reported that the imam was at Hezbollah rallies and supported Hezbollah, b/c only I went undercover and saw it. Ripping me off on that–and READING MY COLUMN WORD-FOR-WORD, which broke the story of the Muslim footbaths at U-M Dearborn, and passing it off as his own work–is plagiarism, period. It makes no difference if you, who hasn’t a clue, doesn’t believe it, like it makes no difference if you don’t believe that Rosie O’Donnell is overweight and a lesbian. It is what it is, and facts are stubborn things.

FYI, if Sean doesn’t want to be associated with me, then why did he repeatedly have me on his radio and TV show, until I called him on ripping off my work, etc.? If my work is not good enough for him and is “blown out of proportion” as you cluelessly claim, why quote it and rip it off? Frankly, it is me who does NOT want to be associated with that thief. Why do you think Rush Limbaugh started installing audio watermarks on soundbites he runs on his show? Guess which syndicated ABC radio host was ripping them off and saying the same thing as him, right after Rush’s show ended and his show began for the day?

I can understand why you–whose work has likely never been ripped off (gee, I wonder why)–cannot understand what it’s like to be stolen from. So, maybe you will let me help myself to all of your property and your bank account because, hey, you blow everything out of proportion (with you that accusation actually must be true based on your completely ignorant, wildly false comment, though I’ve never heard of you). Still trying to figure out how a clip of an inept FOX News co-host who let Geraldo and KP run all over him, unchallenged, about illegal aliens, has turned into an insult-fest against me.

Like Canada is ever going to become the land of opportunity. You are hilarious!

He relates how his dad prayed, that when there was a horrific crime, the person was not Puerto Rican. Geraldo feels the same way about the illegals. He prays they aren’t illegals so he doesn’t have to face Gibson, Bill, Sean, et al.

Meaning…..the entire issue is because we are all racists.

On the other hand maybe he’s just doesn’t want to be associated with her, so doesn’t site her blog o’ crazy. I know I’ve stopped sourcing her, I get enough hate mail as it is…

This man is quite beautiful. The camera does not do him justice. He radiates kindness, poise, and authenticity, and physically, he just…glitters.
RushBaby on August 16, 2007 at 9:41 AM

All that glitters, is not gold.

He may be all that to you, but he needs to learn to debate. He needs to be a little more humble, and go to the people he often steals information from, give them credit and ask them for help in debating. Debbie Schlussel is one that most comes to mind…talk about glitter.

At least this issue is on some news networks and not buried elsewhere

William Amos on August 15, 2007 at 11:27 PM

Where, PLEASE, is this on any other network (other than FOX)? After several Google searches, I can only find references within the blogosphere of the Hannity & Colmes segment.. particularly related to this site. Usually Mr. Narcissistic Will goes as far as to provide links to (in)credibly make his point… which is what exactly (here)? Again:

I say we all get together and chip into getting Allah an I phone

Then he wont have KP withdrawls. And we probably wont see him for months (and no Rosie pics !)

William Amos on August 15, 2007 at 11:30 PM

Why does this faux “contributing blogger” troll continue to post on every thread just to say the most obnoxious, off-topic, even controversially misguided CRAP for the sake of attention?! FTR Will, put up the first donation and I’m sure we’d all like to make AP happy; he deserves one for all his hard work; but please quit pandering, it makes you sound juvenile, especially when you assume he has an infatuation with KP or Rosie.. then to suggest you would be happy to not read/enjoy his omnipresent role here at HA. (Revisit the main page and count the entry logs; who do you think is the primary contributor to the site you frequent daily??
I understand the irony in heeding my own advice, but please, take notice: DON’T FEED THE TROLLS!

Further, as with other posts (such as The Onion News Network clips), isn’t it getting ridiculous that some just can’t understand it’s a satirical skit? It’s like a posting has to be made after two or so entries mentioning an “alert” be made to educate some folks who just don’t get it.

Here’s another quick point/example:

The punchline is that most cases involving criminal illegal aliens don’t turn on judicial incompetence

This term assigns the term criminal to only some of the..um…criminals

Please stop using this idiotic term.

DwnSouthJukin on August 15, 2007 at 11:48 PM

AP simply added the appropriate terminology to further identify the distinction of those who commit additional acts of criminal behavior after the act of illegally crossing our borders. It’s not a redundant point; it’s made to help some people understand that while ALL illegal aliens are obvious law-breakers by default, some go on to abuse our laws (with the help of activist judges and apologists) by seeking sanctuary, then committing more egregious, unconscionable acts of criminality. Some people just have to stop being overly sensitive and literal on the provided editorial content.

Maybe a sidebar link should be established to view “banned bloggers” or even “identified trolls”. Just a thought.

KP is coming on more and more with a shaky, unsure voice and not at all convinced of her position…

24K lady on August 16, 2007 at 10:20 AM

I agree. I think she’s doing her job by trying to represent the Democrats perspective and since the candidates are pandering to Kos, she is doing the same.

I bet he has an illegal tending his mustache…

congsan on August 16, 2007 at 11:09 AM

Thanks for making me waste my coffee on the computer screen!

Hannity should have argued that if New York enforced the Immigration laws that crime would be reduced even more than it is today. Those are the facts.

What was Hannity thinking by adding the former underwear model on his panel that Kimberly Guilfoyle would add anything to the debate? She is an open borders advocate and worked in a Sanctuary City that has special order 40 on the books, Los Angeles.

I know, I used to have to listen to her press conferences where she pandered to the Illegals in Los Angeles. Guilfoyle and Geraldo are both reconquista’s of the worst kind.

Neither part of that is true but I share your disappointment.
Allahpundit on August 16, 2007 at 9:47 AM

I assume you are referring to her physical beauty? I don’t mean physically ugly. I see beauty that comes from rational thinking and honesty, and KP has lost it for me.

But her defending Geraldo’s position, was an exercise in supporting the left for the sake of the lefts ideology. I call that kool-aid drinking. I know she is suppose to take the left side of the issue, but she doesn’t have to BE a Colmes clone because of it.

My collie says:

She seems to have a LOT of those, doesn’t she?
