Hey, it's just science
Kos is away today so he's left this feature in my hands. Yes, crazy people are my official beat. I don't know how to feel about that.
There's nothing like an unmoderated internet comments thread to put your remaining faith in humanity through the ol' cheese grater. On CNN.com, not-liberal columnist Ruben Navarrette wrote a piece slamming Steve King for his now-reasserted assertion that immigrants are 100 times more likely to be misshapen drug mules than do well in school. As we'll see below the fold, this did not go entirely well.
It also leads me to a technical question: Can you really call it "nutpicking" when the nutpicked comments are double-digit percentage of the entire thread?
Racial solidarity strikes again in order to justify breaking US laws. Illegals should get nothing, no goodies paid for with my tax dollars, no driver's license,no free stuff of any kind. Come here legally, great.
King was being generous. I'm guessing that ALL of nation's illegal valedictorians would fit comfortably in an average school classroom with plenty of room to spare.
What don't the bleeding heart liberals understand about I-L-L-E-G-A-L? They are pandering for voters, by promising ENTITLEMENT FREEBIES, paid for by the US Taxpayer. Not only NO, but, H*LL NO!!!
Republicans expect the constituency to help themselves, by getting jobs, paying taxes, and supporting their families. Democrats simply hand out EBT cards, 0-phones, and simply look the other way, so they can pander to the voters.
The "dreamers" need to dream their way back to the counties they came from and apply themselves to fixing those countries problems and stay the heck out of here. Wishbone thinks we should electrify the fence too....like 10k volts so we fry em instead of just shocking them a bit!
"Wishbone" in this case is the commenter referring to himself in the third person. I don't know why.
Spoken or written facts are now being called "hateful language" thanks to the PC enablers in the media. If the truth hurts, don't blame the language.
It's a fact that DREAM kids have melon-sized calves from drug running. Hey, don't blame the messenger.
Did anyone read the story last week of the 13 "ILLEGAL ALIENS" that gang raped a 13 year old child ALL NIGHT LONG!?
The "LIBERAL" media had a 2 paragraph article on it. Glenn Beck details what happened, IF YOU WANT THE TRUTH! Then you will see EXACTLY what STEVE KING is trying to GET ACROSS to people!
That comment was repeated up and down the thread. There's something about Glenn Beck fans that makes them constantly shout and always repeat themselves. Ah, right—Glenn Beck.
Mr liberal vomit, they are ILLEGAL immigrants, they are breaking the
law by being here. They are benefiting from their parents ILLIGAL actions. Do your job, and find out how many mules under 30 there are in the US vs how many ILLEGAL valedictorians there are here from the Southern Americas. How many ILLEGAL immigrants under 30 have gotten a free education that they can take back home with them when they leave? How many plan to go to college? How many are in gangs? How many ILLEGAL immigrants under 30 are on gov’t assistance? How many ILLEGAL immigrants under 30 can’t speak English, the language of the US. How many current immigration laws are being sufficiently enforced vs those that are not? How efficient is gov’t in running any program? What does gov’t do well?
I think we should end all immigration, legal AND illegal, as part of our population control program. We should also encourage women - especially Latinas, fundamentalist Christians, and Mormons - to have fewer children.
Sorry Ruben I understand you have to side with "your Hispanic side" but your illegal alien loving self should just move to Mexico and help them. We gave amnesty once and now you want twice with a third to follow - well cupcake not going to happen.
The last thing on earth we need is another ten million low life, useless, low wage criminals becoming citizens. If you want immigrants, fine, let those who do the right thing and come in legally get the jobs and the status.
All right, we should wrap this up. Last word, dude:
Pointing out there are drug mules going across our border is not hate speech, maybe the cantaloupe analogy is in bad taste, but unless cantaloupes are native to Mexico (like you know, watermelon and black folks), then the man just wants us to think of the bad that comes with the good.
And that's the sort of person that votes for Steve Freaking King.
