Kos: Is Rahm Emanuel A Racist?

Yep! Just one big happy political party destined to run the table over there. With things in Iraq getting better, it's more difficult to bash Bush. Maybe they've resorted to eating their own. As regards the Netroots greater influence, I've yet to see convincing evidence that most of America responds to the type of negative emotions associated with so much of their posturing.

Is Rahm racist, or merely scared?

It's got to be one or the other, because Rahm Emanuel is behind efforts to build Democratic support for the Shuler/Tancredo "enforcement-only" bill currently winding its way through the House.

Think about it -- our House leadership is strong-arming Democrats into backing a bill which is the central agenda of the biggest racist xenophobe

Listen to kos: "Americans don't want hate-based anti-immigration rhetoric and action, they want comprehensive immigration reform that secures our borders and provides a path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants in this country."

This guy says he speaks for "Americans"? Was he elected or appointed, I wonder?

[docweasel]

So let me get this straight: taking control of one's borders makes a country racist, and those who try to enforce those laws are racists as well?

Sheesh, I guess every country in the world is racist.

[Terry Gain]

People who want secure borders aren't racist. They're sane. Kos isn't.

Hey Kos answer me this since trying to ask you on your website would get the commenter vaporized in about 2 seconds.

Please explain why according to two recent Rasmussen polls showed the following

77% of people are against drivers licenses for illegals

73% of people are for police officers checking immigration status on routine traffic stops

Wonder what the Kos types do for a living? They can't work in regular jobs or they'd know how much the illegals are driving down wages.

The Kos types must not have families or they'd know how the illegals are killing our schools.

Doc, every white person is a racist, of course. That is a published "fact". Also, only whites even can be racists. Another published fact. Who is the publisher, you ask? Why I think it was LOL, but I could be wrong.

How can we get Kos a larger venue? This is a "message" the public needs to hear loud and often from the left side of aisle.

The group he's with is linked, through their president (tinyurl.com/2wmobu), to the Mexican government. They're also linked to IL's gov, they took part in a smear against someone running for gov, and they helped organize some of last year's marches.

I'd say that he was appointed... self-appointed, that is.

The University of Delaware has had the "WHitey = Racist!" as its central dogma for all incoming freshmen... though according to the link below, it might be officially off the front burner for now.

Doesn't Mexico have some pretty "comprehensive" immigration laws?
Why don't we just model our own after Mexico's?

Would Kos be racist if he refused to endorse the superior Mexican example?
