I’m not going to click on the link, but the acronym looks an awful lot like a pillow-biter site. Why post anything from a site like that?

the “prison planet” forum, part of radio host and columnist Alex Jones’ Web site.

I noticed that they lumped 9/11 truther Jones in with the conservatives.

On purpose.

Premise; swine flu outbreak originated in Mexico.

Premise; Mexicans regularly transit the border with the United States, often surreptitiously.

Conclusion: illegal Mexican border-crossers might be spreading swine flu.

How is that “racist?”

We're not going to win hearts and minds that way.

We're not going to win hearts and minds by going down the Trent Lott road either.

[fish hawk]

Me too. A friend told me about him a couple years ago so I tuned in to listen. I could only take about two weeks of his rudeness and quit listening to him. I like some of what he says but even that, can’t stand how he says it.

[OpeEdMunkey]

They suspended Severing for telling the truth??????

Well, it is Boston.

Absolutely true. Handling leftist callers is something that Limbaugh still does better than any others, far and away. Hannity, Levin, and especially Savage talk all over callers, cut them off and mock them without debate. Granted, some deserve it, but the mushy middle in this country that decides elections are just put off by this behavior.

[GOP_Party_Animal]

He’s mocking MSNBC, but you probably already knew that.

[OpeEdMunkey]

I guess the rich factory owners...

We still have factories in the US? Who knew?

[OpeEdMunkey]

Savage refers to MSNBC as MSGLBT.

>>We're not going to win hearts and minds that way.<<

Honestly though, it doesn't matter. Liberal progressives have a mentality very very differant than you or I.

I have attempted to listen to their side, their arguments, their logic....it's just warped.

From time to time as I commute home, I will dial in a local radio station here in Houston, 90.1 fm and just listen.

Whoa baby!!! It's just nuts. Finally went to their website...again, whoa baby. Check it out.

Rabidly liberal.

Awww Sig, why ya wanna get me all bent outta shape on a Friday.

A lot of the “mushy middle” you describe were that way before they started listening to Rush and Savage. If we don’t loudly proclaim ideas out there who is going to listen? There’s nothing wrong with what Savage does, he fills a unique void in the conservative movement in that we need someone angry to advance our cause. Rush and Hannity are too general at times, when they were talking about the bailouts, Savage was talking about the four Oakland police officers who got shot. Savage brings a street-fighting perspective to conservatism. BTW, Hannity never talks over a caller or shut debate he tries to reason with libtards which never work.

The "mushy middle" is the group people claim their party needs to accommodate its behavior to in order to get its votes. In reality, this group, if it ever does get off its indecisive ass and get to the polls, will vote whichever side of any of twelve to fifteen different things any different one of them may happen to feel strongly amount at the minute they decide to punch the ballot. It's a group that is unified by its desire to be sucked up to or courted, by its shallowness of thought on any real major issue, and by its indecisiveness. The first of these gives the illusion that something can be done to win them over. The second and third make it impossible for any party with distinctive positions on anything to turn the group out on its side. They decide elections only in the strictest crap shoot terms. The most important thing is to get enough of the principled opposition on one's side that a smattering of wavering losers in the middle won't make so much of a difference.

Apparently many people here have never been to Mexico or if so only the resorts and are living in lala land.

Mexico is a dump. It is a dump because of the culture. The physical entity of Mexico has immense resources, two coasts, oil, minerals, arable land. But the culture has made it a drug-ridden, feudal dump. In fact one only has to travel through the neighboring states of New Mexico, or Arizona, to see it. Trashiest states in the union.

How obvious is it? Is it racist to recognize a tragedy of human depravity or ignorance that has consumed a society? Is that the kind of cultural diversity that Americans want to embrace?

Mexico, as a society, should be led to solve its own problems without invading a neighboring nation (which has been a generous one at that). And the American politician should be insisting on that. Any Mexican citizen should come to the US through the front door, just like every other legitimate world immigrant.

Carlos Slim is laughing in his bathrobe at the stupidity and naivete of American government. Viruses ARE transmitted through lack of hygiene.

The Council on Foreign Relations is the most arrogant, and inept, cabal of elitists on the planet.
