New RNC ad: Being a friend to Hispanics means supporting amnesty

And so, after two years of pounding Geraldo Rivera for reducing a complex issue to its lowest, crudest, most demagogic common denominator, we find that our own party leadership agrees with him. Do you have Hispanic friends? No you don’t, not if you’re one of the 69 percent who prioritizes border enforcement over, ahem, “comprehensive immigration reform.” The boss has an English translation but I’d like confirmation from our Spanish-speaking readers, as I simply can’t believe the RNC would stoop to this. Is this an accurate rendering of the beginning?
How do you know someone is a friend?
You know because they stand up and defend you when it is hard.
When Hispanics needed a friend in Congress during the immigration debate… Who stood up? Who spoke out?
John McCain.
Note: This isn’t Michelle’s translation, it’s the version that the RNC’s sending around, so it expresses their intent even if the Spanish version doesn’t precisely match. Exit question: What’s the difference between the insinuation here and the insinuation … here?

And we are importing a much different set of people today.

That’s for sure. Here in California, we got a governor that says nothing but…tacks tacks tacks tacks!!!

Ahnold had a fine career in the movies. He should go back to them.

I enjoyed Predator. That was a good one…

To those who think hardworking “honest” illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay, I say to you “Then amend the d**n immigration laws!” Otherwise you’ll have no basis for b1tching when some libtard starts talking about the Constitution as a “living document” and reading lefty nonsense into it.
Enforce the laws. Amend them as needed. DO NOT casually disregard them based on arbitrary emotional leanings.

465? I’ll gladly take credit for that many although you should be aware of how those searches work.
Oh, lookie, lookie 225 for BryanS and Juan
MB4 on August 23, 2008 at 3:04 AM
Oh, lookie, lookie, and another lookie at this BryanS.
Guess who has got us both beat
MB4 on August 23, 2008 at 3:14 AM
Oh look, another person with MDS!
MB4 on August 23, 2008 at 3:49 AM
I am aware. You should be aware that search results show a snippet of the context to help the searcher determine relevance.
My post made no mention of the number of hits. You have to take a look at some of the results to know whether they are relevant. I think it’s telling that a large number of the search for MB4 and Juan show some inflammatory comment you made while none of the results on BryanS and Juan do.
Oh, and Michelle Malkin legitimately uses the name Juan to address the actual name of people, not to make some juvenile taunt.
Nice try at deflection.

McCain had a great week.
He finally started enegizing the base with his performance last weekend. He put out some good and great ads against Obama this week.
He’s put Obama back on his toes…
Now this type of pandering BS.
WTF?

“McCain? Obama? Amnesty? Who cares? Let me get my fat backside on the couch in front of the TV to play with my X Box again.”
(America – where the poor are fat).

No sooner had I said that I was impressed with McVain’s quick responses to Obaa-aa-aama, he comes up and slaps me in the face with the issue that sent me away from the GOP.
Yeah, Juan McShamnesty, you got the message.
F you. How do you say THAT in Spanish??
tickleddragon on August 23, 2008 at 10:11 AM
I would call that the bonehead play of, at least, the decade.
He thinks that we fear Obaa-aa-aama enough to hold our noses, and vote for him no matter what. I can look at the long term picture and remember that whatever Obaa-aa-aama f’s up in 4 years, can be fixed and will be blamed on Dems securing the white house for Conservs for YEARS to come. I’m not afraid of Obaa-aa-aama. Not enough to support a man that continuously slaps me in the face.
Let’s see how you fix THIS, McVain.

The following is just from a very quick and cursory look at the first few “hits”. I think that Michelle likes McCain being called Juan and considers it to be most legitimate, but then maybe she is “juvenile” too, she does look pretty young.
A Florida voter asks McCain about his open-borders outreach director
By Michelle Malkin • January 27, 2008 06:17 PM
Update: Reader Mary Jo e-mails: “Since Juan McCain has appointed Juan Hernandez to the position of Hispanic Outreach Campaign Advisor, perhaps someone should ask him who he is going to appoint as American Outreach Campaign Director. I guess the average American citizen is not very important to him.”
There you go again.
- Ronald Reagan
That’s what you resort to when you’re losing the debate — name-calling and ad hominem attacks.
- Michelle Malkin
So that’s what you call it. It was your little game. I don’t think that it worked out quite to you liking however. Maybe you should try another little game next time.
MB4 on August 23, 2008 at 2:01 PM
Fornicar usted Juan.
MB4 on August 23, 2008 at 2:08 PM
If you think that calling McCain Juan is “juvenile” BryanS, are you ever going to love this! Enjoy.
Translation: McCain’s suck up to La Raza
By Michelle Malkin • July 14, 2008 12:04 PM
While John McCain’s lips move this afternoon during his speech to the Race’s open-borders lovefest, let me serve as your interpreter:
MCCAIN: My friends, you are right. Those people who killed my shamnesty bill have ill intentions. They are bigots, just like my friend Lindsay Graham told you they were when he spoke before you two years ago.
My friends, I don’t want to talk about securing the border any more than you do. But trust me, when the “border” is “secure” (wink, wink, nudge, nudge), then we’ll do what we all want to do: Formalize our Sanctuary Nation. Rejoice that illegal aliens are serving in the military. And sanctimoniously demonize and marginalize all those pesky bigots who keep obsessing about immigration enforcement and national security. I’m as committed to peddling sob-story platitudes and whitewashing your ethnic nationalism as you are! (What was that about the 15 things about The Race you should know? Shhhhhhhhhhh!)
Just work with me here, ok? Brother Obama may have marched with you at the Chicago May Day illegal alien parade. But I have a lifetime commitment to Hispandering! And you have showered with me with honors for my open-borders work.
Remember?
They don’t call me La Raza’s voice in Washington for nothing.

Comparing your rants to Michelle’s blog entries only undeservedly ingratiates yourself. You still haven’t quoted Michelle calling McCain names. She’s not prone to go down that road and for good reason–it doesn’t help in an argument. It’s one of those adhominem attacks you seem so fond of.
You sound awfully confident and proud of yourself, but really your retort is more of an Emperor has no Clothes moment than some smart zinger you think it to be.
BryanS on August 23, 2008 at 5:46 PM
There you go (yet) again.
- Ronald Reagan
That’s what you resort to when you’re losing the debate — name-calling and ad hominem attacks.
- Michelle Malkin
It is not in my nature to even want to ingratiate myself. I much prefer to pi$$ people on the internet off.
Good lord man, don’t you ever read her blog? She may use a little more “finesse” than I do, although that is in the eyes of the beholder, but when it comes to bashing McShamnesty, and does he ever deserve it, I am but as a Kitten to her Tigress.
Just an example from the top of an almost endless list from a very simple search, and if I cared to take the time I could flood this thread with a whole lot more. -
Meet the open borders family: McCain, Hernandez, Soros, and the “Reform Institute”
By Michelle Malkin • January 25, 2008 03:50 PM
And that is just the title, just the title!, and just one little title alone!!! Now I don’t know about you BryanS, but in effect saying that I was related or even “related”, like in family, to Soros would be worse, a whole lot worse, than just being called the name Juan, and I think that it would be to most people, conservatives anyway.
No, I think that it has been pretty well established by now that it is you who has developed a fondness for that.
Amongst the Blind the one eyed man is King. No big deal. Especially where the Blind paint themselves into a corner.
Oh and speaking of “Emperor has no Clothes”, that reminds me of something. I am sure you will like it.
“What’s this?” thought John McCain. “I can feel nothing warmer at all! That is terrible. Am I stupid? Am I a flat-earther? Am I a denier? Am I not fit to be President? That would be the most dreadful thing that could happen to me. “Oh, it is very hot!” McCain said aloud. “It has my highest approbation.” And McCain nodded in a contented way, and gazed outside, for he would not say that he felt no Global Warming. The whole entourage that he had with him looked and looked, and felt no warming, any more than the rest; but, like John McCain, they said, “It is so warm!” and counseled him to always say that he felt warm when he was out in public. “It is warm, hot even!” went from mouth to mouth. On all sides there seemed to be general warming, and John McCain gave Al Gore the title of Imperial Master of Global Warming Science.
So John McCain went in procession, and every one in the streets said, “How incomparable warm it is! What a warm day it is!” No one would let it be perceived that he could not feel warming, for that would have shown that he was not fit for his office, or was very stupid or a flat-earther or a denier. No day of John McCain’s had ever been as warm as this one.
“But I’m freezing my a$$ off out here!” a little child cried out at last. “Just hear what that innocent says!” said the father: and one whispered to another what the child had said. “But it is cold out here!” said the whole people at length. That touched John McCain, for it seemed to him that they were right; but the thought within himself was, “I must go through with feeling all the Global Warming. I do not dare to do otherwise” And so he held himself a little higher, and his aides held on tighter than ever, and proclaimed the Global Warming which did not exist at all.
BTW BryanS, never bring a BB gun to an artillery duel.
MB4 on August 23, 2008 at 7:05 PM
This is kind of fun…just by calling your rants what they are, produces yet another rant.
Uh huh. Seems like your more the pi$$ee rather than the pi$$er.
BryanS on August 23, 2008 at 8:03 PM
You are feeding the troll. This is what he wants.
wise_man on August 23, 2008 at 10:27 PM
Frankly, I don’t think you are having fun at all. You certainly don’t give that impression, but then what else can you say.
You don’t seem to even know what a rant is as that was clearly a quip. Rant is just another name that you call for lack of anything else in your armory.
Uh huh, sure. Seems like you must have your water gauges reversed. Maybe you hooked the wiring up backwards. You should probably reread the instructions.
MB4 on August 23, 2008 at 11:39 PM
I am feeding the troll.. Here’s some more:)
Hey MB4, nobody’s paying attention to this thread anymore, But I’m guessing you are :)
