NBC Promotes Twitter Handle for Illegal Immigrants: #RefugeeRiders (Twitter Revolt)
NewsBusters.org ^ | July 2, 2014 | Jeffrey Meyer

On Wednesday morning, NBC’s Today went beyond avoiding using the term “illegal” to describe the immigrants being bussed from Texas into California. The Peacock network has created a Twitter handle to show its support for the illegal immigrants.

Following a report by NBC’s Miguel Almaguer, Today anchor Matt Lauer triumphantly declared: “We want you to weigh in on this. Share your comments using the #RefugeeRiders.”

On Tuesday, July 1, the CBS Evening News was the only network to use the term “illegal” when describing the protests in Murrieta, California where the residents have objected to immigrants being bused into their community to live while they await possible deportation. While CBS did use the term “illegal” in its initial reporting on Tuesday night, on Wednesday morning it had joined the ranks of ABC and CBS in avoiding the term.

NBC''s Lauer began his editorializing by arguing that “as so many issues in this country do it's going to boil down to politics. And wherever you stand on the issue, one side or the other, I'm not going to weigh in on that, it's hard to see those images moms and their kids in that situation.” The NBC host then encouraged his audience to share their thoughts using the Today show hashtag #RefugeeRiders.

Good to see that most tweeters disagree with importing illegal aliens and would like to send them back.

Remember what this is all about, folks...

Dems won in 2006 by getting Hispanics angry and into the streets. They intend to do the same again this year, and I have been saying that for a year.

Now we are seeing it come to fruition.

Unless you happen to think busloads of unassailable victims, err, I mean kids just somehow show up on the border, all by themselves.

Eventually these same people will be crowding out people like Lauer in the media. I am about to the point where I say, “Yeah!” If this is what it takes to get these morons out of our faces day in and day out, good for them!

They won in 2006 because G.W. Bush mismanaged the Iraq war, before setting it right. I lived in the Norteast then and every single morning on every station, MoveOn.org ran ads attacking the war, and it worked. The Dems swept out nearly every slightly-vulnerable GOPer on the East Coast.

Reconquista Invaders

Illegal aliens are Obama’s shock troops in his war against the people of the United States.

Will the GOPe fight and force him to stop or will they stand around and do nothing? I think we know the answer.
