Lib Talker Bill Press Rips Senator; Suggests Taking Citizenship Away from People Born in Alabama
Newsbusters ^ | August 3, 2010 | Jeff Poor

Ah yes - liberalism, or as its recent branding has labeled it, progressivism, is the most open-minded and culturally sensitive place to be on the ideological spectrum. Those who subscribe to those beliefs are far more enlightened and far more able to respect those from all over the globe, or least all over the United States, right?

Not the case with liberal talk show host Bill Press. On his Aug. 4 program, Press launched into a long-winded rant about a handful of U.S. Senators who question the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which allows for so-called "anchor babies" to provide a way for some illegal immigrants to achieve legal status, despite having broken the law by entering the United States. Press took issue with Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, who suggested the 14th Amendment is being abused and wasn't what was intended by the original authors of it. But he didn't just disagree with him for his stance. Instead, he took to mocking his southern accent, playing to a stereotype of people from the South.

These guys just want to play their little infantile games. They really think they cute and clever; when all they are are butt boys and girls.

If the mother is not a U.S. citizen and or is here illegally, then the child is not a U.S. citizen either. It’s a citizen of the mother’s country. Sheesh!

Bill Press hails from Los Angeles. I have seen him on TV since the 1960s.
Thus, I can state without fear of contradiction, that Bill Press has serious cognitive disabilities!

Liberals always show their true feelings when they are upset.Never mind that people were born in the US to citizens, it is ok to equate them to illegals dropping babies.Stupid man with an even stupider train of thought!

This kind of gross stupidity from those on the left who, as we all know, consider themselves the epitome of intellectual superiority, turns off average Americans who logically dislike the current chaotic situation on the Mexican border and the heavy influx of illegal aliens gaming the system and too often, using up scarce local resources and taxpayer money to do it.

This kind of snarky insult to a southern senator is an insult to any American who simply questions the constitutional legitimacy of 'anchor babies' born to illegal aliens being used as pawns in a planned strategy to insure the parent's ability to remain here indefinitely.

Fortunately, Bill Press has an audience that could fit in the trunk of a very small car but his remarks are completely irrational, as usual.

I wonder what he would say if I suggested that he change the phrase from ‘Alabama’ to “those Americans descended from African Slaves....?”

I thought the people of Alabama went to a lot of trouble in 1861 to say that they were NOT citizens of the US. Now Press agrees with them.

I checked Talkers Magazine.

Billy doesn't make the top 100 of talk radio.

Heck, even the pathetic taxpayer paid Diane Rehm is in the top 100.

Bill Press made it real easy to quit watching CNN when FNN debuted some fifteen years ago.

Maybe his mother listens.

She probably thinks he’s a dick too.

There are some days I think Bill Press shouldn’t be allowed to breed, let alone vote.

There is a two year wait in London for rich people wanting appointments with the State dept. to renounce citizenship in the US. They see writing on the wall.
