Broken Borders: Broken Promises (Simcox-Minuteman)

ABC 15 Investigators ^ | 4/27/2006 | Staff

Americans are donating thousands of dollars to support Minutemen patrolling the border. But you may be surprised where your money is NOT going in this 4-month investigation.

You are one of the most ridiculous posters I've seen on this forum in all my time here.

Careful there, sonny.
You were outed by the AM for your childish pranks.

That sounds like quite a lot of people to me, for such a paltry "fence". What were the 2,380 other volunteers doing, while 20 people, if that many, were working on it?

[BigSkyFreeper]

If you go to Simcox's site it says he is raising money for an Israeli style fence.

How long is this fence gonna be? 35 feet long and 20 feet high?

"Now those same people are using ABC to support their view points."

Actually I think most people are using the words of the Minutemen volunteers themselves that are on the tape and other links provided.

It's going to look something like that turnstyle in Blazing Saddles.

Nice language.

[onyx]

Soliciting donations, perhaps?

"I'll wait for a response from the MM before I pass judgement if you don't mind. That would be the fair thing to do, don't you think?"

Me too. If there's a shred of truth, this will be picked up by at least O'Reilly etc.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I love it. Everyone on here quickly dismisses ABC when it is something they don't agree with, they say it is "Liberal Bias." Now those same people are using ABC to support their view points.

So now we're not supposed to believe the Minutemen, who were in that report?

[onyx]

Nasty poster, you.

[FreeReign]

Take a number, pal. He accused me of countenancing murder, FGS.

LOL!

Yet he goes crying to the mods when he thinks somebody has made a similar accusation about him.

[Texasforever]

They were holograms.

[CWOJackson]

Oh heck no...they're all liars too!

[Lurker]

OK so you believe the ones in regard to Mr. Simcox yet you don't believe the ones with regard to the Duke kids.

And I'm the one who is confused?

Ok then.

Like I said, fake but accurate must just taste better when it's something you desperately want to believe. It's rather like the folks at DU when you think about it.

I think the phrase is 'cognitive dissonance' or the ability to hold two diametrically opposed thoughts in your head and yet see no conflict between them.

Now just so I'm straight on this it's "Durham Reporters Bad" and "Arizona Reporters Good", right?

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

ROTFLOL!!

Quit your bitching and go look. In a word, yes.

Nobody wants to answer that one.

""American Patrol - Thousands of Americans have donated hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars, to build a fence on the border to stop illegal aliens. One man mortgaged his home and donated $120,000 that otherwise would have gone to Disabled American Veterans. Chris Simcox continues to sell the plan as an Israeli- style fence when in fact the only thing built is a five- strand barbed wire livestock fence that a rancher says won't keep illegals out. "I have warned from the beginning not to donate money to any such effort until the promoters produce a building permit that includes the specifications as being sold by those promoters," said Glenn Spencer of American Patrol. Spencer has property on the border in Arizona.""

Yes it is appalling

[axes_of_weezles]

And your a nobody too.
