Paranoia pandemic: Conservative media baselessly blame swine flu outbreak on immigrants

SUMMARY: Conservative media personalities have baselessly blamed Mexican immigrants for spreading swine flu across the border, despite the fact that several reports have indicated that U.S. swine flu patients had recently traveled to Mexico.

...

SAVAGE: Make no mistake about it: Illegal aliens are the carriers of the new strain of human-swine avian flu from Mexico. Make no mistake about it: Our incompetents at the CDC will hide this from you. Make no mistake about it: This is a disaster. Now, if you thought Turista was bad, wait until you get human-swine avian flu from Mexico.

...

BOORTZ: Lord, forgive me for I know not what I am about to -- what better way to sneak a virus into this country than give it to Mexicans? Right? I mean, one out of every 10 people born in Mexico is already living up here, and the rest are trying to get here. So you give -- you give -- you let this virus just spread in Mexico, where they don't have a CDC.

...

BECK: Mexico is in real trouble. What happens to a country that is in that much of an economic dire strait when they say no public events for possibly four weeks? What happens when the economy stops in Mexico because of an emergency in Mexico where no one can spend money? No one can go to a soccer game, a movie, go out to eat, nothing, for four weeks. What happens to that economy? Gee, it would be nice if we had border security now, wouldn't it?

Simply astounding.  Dead Mexicans and infected Americans being politicized.  But I don't expect anything less from these folks.

Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.

Re: And it keeps getting better...
Sounds like racism towards Mexicans. Silly thing about this country is so many people complain about immigrants when the true immigrants are the whites.

Q.F.T. 

I'm astounded and puzzled at how these people come up with these ideas. What... Do they think they know more than the CDC? All they say reeks of anti-immigrant fear mongering.

Incompetents at the CDC? Please. How can they tell the CDC is incompetent? What grounds do they have to say this? Are the CDC people incompetent because their findings don't agree with the pundits' racist fantasies? There seems to be no other reason for them to lie like this than to raise anti-immigrant hysteria. I just hope America is smart enough to see through this cowardly facade.
<Nuclear>   truth: the good samaritan actually checked for proof of citizenship and health insurance
<Axem>   did anyone catch jesus' birth certificate?
<Nuclear>   and jesus didnt actually give the 5000 their fish...he gave it to the romans and let it trickle down
<Axem>and he was totally pro tax breaks

More like wasting too much money fighting unnecessary wars, is what I feel, and not diverting it to more important causes.
You're a couple years late for that one.

But being conservative does not equal intelligence, race, or being  racist or not. Being conversative means that you wan't to uphold old values. If you refuse to play any space sim after TIE-Fighter, you are also a conservative...

Nah, that sort of "turn back the clock" is closer to paleoconservativism. If you think TIE Fighter was the best space sim ever made and wish new ones would preserve its style of gameplay and cost the same as it did, that's conservativism.

If you answered, “Wake up and face reality,” you don’t remember what it was like being a young man. You just go to the next entry in the catalogue of lies you can use to destroy your life." - John Dolan

Social conservatism is sorta suck, though. Abortion, gay marriage, sex education, etc...
