Right-Wing Radio Host Advocates Murdering Border Crossers
Right-Wing Radio Host Advocates Murdering Border Crossers
Right-wing radio host Brian James of KFYI in Arizona recently advocated murder as a way of dealing with undocumented immigrants. An excerpt:
What we’ll do is randomly pick one night - every week - where we will kill whoever crosses the border. Step over there and you die. You get to decide whether it’s your lucky night or not. I think that would be more fun…[I'd be] happy to sit there with my high-powered rifle and my night scope.
The remarks prompted Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard and U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton to send a complaint to the FCC. Here’s a portion:
At no time during this hour did Mr. James disavow violence or indicate he was joking. In fact, when one caller suggested Mr. James did not really mean he wanted to shoot and kill immigrants, Mr. James retorted that in fact he did mean it. Immediately after this exchange, Mr. James engaged the next caller in a discussion about the correct ammunition to use when shooting border crossers to make sure the shots would be fatal.
This type of threatening and inciting speech is dangerous and totally irresponsible for anyone, particularly a licensed body using public airways.
Brian James has not apologized and claims his comments were “satire.” Later, for a story on the KFYI website, James said “KFYI does not advocate shooting illegals. It might be fun, but they don’t advocate it.”
Make up your own mind about whether James meant it or not. You can listen to the audio HERE. (Click “KFYI audio” to start the recording.) You can contact KFYI with your views at chickboss@kfyi.com.

Remember kids, it's ok to kill people if they don't look like you!
Sheesh. No wonder the rest of the world thinks we're all insane.
April 10th, 2006 at 2:28 pmIt doesn't matter if he meant it. It was a clear case of incitement to murder, and is thus a crime.
April 10th, 2006 at 2:31 pmYou know, I used to think a conversation was over when one pulled the "Nazi" card. Now I realize it's escalated to the "murder" card.
This jackass needs to be fired in a big hurry.
April 10th, 2006 at 2:31 pmI am, after all, only applying the same standard as they applied to the guy who joked about "Burning Bushes"
April 10th, 2006 at 2:32 pmLucky for Brian James that he's confined to the audio airwaves and that he didn't advocate his position while exposing his bare nipple to a visual audience. The FCC really frowns on THAT behavior.
April 10th, 2006 at 2:32 pmI would like to see a few immigrants capture Brian James and put a loaded gun in his mouth. Of course, I mean this satirically.
April 10th, 2006 at 2:37 pmLeft-wing mouthpiece Ben Affleck advocates hanging the President. Mary Landrieu advocates punchin him in the face. What's your point, Judd?
April 10th, 2006 at 2:41 pmNow let's see whether there's any sort of fine or reprimand or whatever emanating from the uber-conservative FCC, and/or whether there's any disavowal emanating from the Republican Party.
I'd be willing to bet money the Party won't say anything. Their silence would indicate tacit approval.
And they wonder why they can't get the Hispanic vote.
April 10th, 2006 at 2:44 pmYou know, I am glad that we're seeing more and more of this kind of behavior... I am not simply referring to this behavior of wanting to kill immigrants.
I am also referring collectively to everything going on right now... the mass protests on immigration... Bush approving outing a CIA agent to get back at her husband for exposing his lies... the temperature is rising in Washington at the same time as it is here in Seattle due to the warm spring weather.
You see... it appears to me that Bush and the neo-cons are circling their wagons, as it were.
This means we're likely to see another downward spiral in Bush's approval ratings as well as the Republican Congress' approvals.
It shows an ever more desperate movement in it's waning days.
But beware... the beast is at its most dangerous when it is wounded and about to die. (Hence the threat of nukes used against Iran, whether Congress or the American public agrees with it or not.)
Victory will soon be ours, people! Savor it when it comes!
April 10th, 2006 at 2:45 pm#7 -- the difference is that stopping Bush would SAVE lives.
April 10th, 2006 at 2:45 pm#11 - so your criticism is partisan as I suspected. That's why liberals are out of power - because they are partisan and their entire agenda revolves around an ungodly hatred for Bush and America.
April 10th, 2006 at 2:47 pmRight wing radio is "hate speech radio", as are all right wing media entities.
April 10th, 2006 at 2:50 pmHatred is the fuel that powers American right wing conservatives.
[...] Classy. [...]
April 10th, 2006 at 2:51 pmI think after running down as much as I could on Mr. James it appears he is just another unaccountable freelancer available to disperse hateful spew without recourse or indemnity. Wasn't this very point just discussed regarding Fox news and it's list of non payroll opiners? He is just another zit on the back of the GOP that needs to be popped. Here, read more over at FDL. http://www.firedoglake.com/category/bigotsphere/
April 10th, 2006 at 2:51 pmWhat type of compassionate conservatism is this? Anyone?
April 10th, 2006 at 2:57 pm#12. . . cripes, what a fool.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:00 pm#12 - If spouting off a bunch of nonsensical GOP talking points helps you to swallow it, then more power to you. But no one here is buying it. The fact you are doing it in defense of someone who is advocating MASS MURDER is particularly telling...
April 10th, 2006 at 3:00 pm#12 - "ungodly hatred for Bush and America."
That's the problem with these people. They are so self-righteous. If you disagree with Bush, you're against God? You're ungodly? If you disagree with Bush, you're against America?
Oh, how I wish I could have a mind that would accommodate such ridiculous assertions and contradictions.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:01 pmiokiyar
mAnn Coulter can advocate for the death of SCOTUS Justices...
Pat "I've Got A Squirrel In My Brain" Robertson can call for the assassination of international leaders...
now, apparently, fascist fux on Phoenix Radio stations can incite their listeners to kill immigrants at the border...
those xians in georgia who are worried cuz they can't be intolerant??? just call for killing homos, cuz that's the GOPuke way...
April 10th, 2006 at 3:01 pm.
Just for fun, lets put Mr. James in jail and throw away the keys.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:02 pmHEY # 7
The point is that this jerk and his employer have a license to operate a broadcast
station IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND ON A PORTION OF THE PUBLICLY
OWNED BROADCAST SPECTRUM.
This behavior is a clear violation of the terms of their license and they may therefore
have to forfeit it.
Get it now asshole?
April 10th, 2006 at 3:02 pm#12
April 10th, 2006 at 3:03 pmYou are sob - many of us at LEAST 1/2 of this country hates BUSH that is not
the same as hating America you fn Nimrod. But I DO hate idiots like you.
The unemployemtn is NOT 4.7 you idiot, that only counts those on unemployment not
those that stopped looking. It is closer to 12%. Disinformation wil not work here
as$hole.
If someone takes up this clown's suggestion and kills people on the border, would that make him an accessory to the crime?
April 10th, 2006 at 3:04 pmJason - you apparently hate FACTS, too. No problem, that helps keep the govt firmly in GOP control. I don't hate you.. I PITY you and those of your ilk.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:05 pm#12
Don't be stupid. Just don't. Conservatives are even more partisans than liberals ever will be. You're just being blind to facts, that's a-l-l-l folks.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:05 pmMr. RU4.saken, here is the link to the HUff post regarding Ben A. comments. I read most of the comments and they're certainly a large number of people who disagree with him. Your comparisons to him and Mr. James are actually quite ironic to me . Just like the Administrations rationale for when it is appropriate to leak or is it "inform"? You currently are out numbered , when we get to about the 100th comment then come back and see who's fair and balanced. Better call all your friends and tell them to come quick and tattle on Ben and the rest of the ungodly powerless heathens. Good luck.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2006/04/10/ben-affleck-bush-probab_n_18825.html
April 10th, 2006 at 3:08 pm#11 -- I agree with just stopping a seeming re-enactment of ClockWork Orange in the halls of government. Killing any of the idiots would just make them martyrs, a distinction unearned, at best.
Far better is anonymity for a cabal that exemplifies the "banality of evil".
April 10th, 2006 at 3:08 pmAlot of calls asking the FCC to step in.
Is that what we really want? The government deciding what you can say or not? They already have squashed plenty, I don't advocate giving them more power on speech.
Be careful what you wish for.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:10 pmMary Landrieu advocates punchin him in the face. What’s your point, Judd?
Comment by Unemployment Rate
Yeah, well, speaking for myself I wouldn't mind seeing someone kick his sorry ass. But of course, I always like a good fight and it wouldn't be. I bet that snotty-assed puke hits like a friggin' girl, don't you UR?
April 10th, 2006 at 3:10 pmNazi Nation. 5 years of Bush Republicanism and the nation is becoming overtly fascist. Godwin's Law has been revoked.
-GSD
Remember, as the hood is lifted off of the Republican Right Wing that has been ruining this nation the more shrill and prone to violence they will become. Look at their rhetoric and actions.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:10 pmhttp://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/371840291?ltl=1144696409
I used to PITY those like poster #12. No w I realize that it is they that truly
April 10th, 2006 at 3:11 pmhate what America has represented. Freedom - check and balances.
But these evil bastards would be very comfortable with a dictator.
That is until they get locked up without any charges or ability to defend
themselves. Can' happen here - do not kid yourself.
Unemployment Rate thinks that liberals have an "ungodly hatred for Bush and America". As Ben Affleck intimates, Bush, along with Rumsfeld and other members of his administration, should be tried in The Hague for crimes against humanity, for causing the deaths of over 100,000 innocent Iraqi civilians. That reasoning is not, as he puts it, ungodly hatred but justifiable hatred. To try and equate the Bush administration being held accountable for causing war and needless suffering of Iraqi civilians to wantonly advocating shooting people to death who are attempting to cross over into this country, either legal or illegal, is beyond absurd.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:11 pm"I was only joking" is the last refuge of a right-wing extremist.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:13 pmI was only joking in #30.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:16 pm#30 - SFTU. You would be no match - trust me. Hide behind your blog, little boy.
I am leaving the "Bush is Hitler party" to go mock you somewhere else. Mocking liberals is fun - and very easy.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:17 pm#7 - Ben Affleck and Mary Landrieu will not be able to do those things. Even whether they truly want to is debatable, but the fact that they can't and they know it shows they aren't making credible threats. This guy has a specific, doable plan . Even if he doesn't want to do it, he is encouraging others to do so, suggesting it would be fun even as he is supposedly trying to back off (although he doesn't say he doesn't advocate it, just that the station doesn't -- whose advice do you think his listeners are more likely to follow?). I don't know whether one situation is against the law and one is not, I'm just speaking from common sense here.
Seriously, if you find yourself if the position of trying to defend someone who says shooting people is fun you should probably stay out of the argument.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:18 pm#33. Good point. Perhaps even an intellectual lightweight like "Unemployment" would realize that a trial is a whole different animal than advocating the use of a sniper rifle to kill people crossing the border.
Personally, I'd like to see someone use a sniper rifle against conservative mouthpieces who continue to spout the same trite talking points day after day, even after their viewpoints have been shown to be inaccurate and their policies failures. Shoot 'em in the head, I say . . . of course, satirically.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:18 pm#38. I bet I'd be a match for you... more than a match. Bring it, little man.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:20 pmI am leaving the “Bush is Hitler party†to go mock you somewhere else. Mocking liberals is fun - and very easy.

Comment by Unemployment Rate - 4.7% — April 10, 2006 @ 3:17 pm
but were are the ones full of hate?
April 10th, 2006 at 3:21 pmBy the way . . . it's perfect that a pro-Bush moron would have the word "unemployment" in his nickname. Bwaaaaaahahahahaha!
April 10th, 2006 at 3:23 pmHas this been denounced by Republicans? Has Tom Tancredo denounced it? Has John McCain? Has President Bush?
This radio host claims he speaks for conservatives--does he speak for them? Do they agree with him? Is this mainstream conservatism?
Has the Republican leadership asked the FCC to even investigate? I'm sure they've investigated people for joking about killing the President--is this less important? Do Republicans think this is protected speech? Do they not only think that illegal immigrants are felons, but that they should be summarily shot without even the right to trial that criminals get? Even Al Quaeda gets a trial, but a Mexican looking for a job? I guess not.
Welcome to the modern Republican party.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:23 pmI see Unemployment is running off to where he doesn't need to defend his weak, inaccurate positions. Waaaaah.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:25 pmWhy not just draft them? Bushco needs cannon-fodder.
HEY? ~ Had EnoughYet?
April 10th, 2006 at 3:25 pmPersonally, I’d like to see someone use a sniper rifle against conservative mouthpieces (sic) Shoot ‘em in the head, I say . . . of course, satirically.

Not sure that would work. I don't think they have brains, they are kind of like Buster Friendly and his friendly friends in BladeRunner A robot programmed to speak RNC talking points constantly.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:26 pmC'mon now people....Don't you recognize the clipped syntax? Don't you see the claims that liberals hate america? If nothing else, don't you see the glib You aren't in Power! poobah?
It's ned, cod or whatever s creenname he is slithering by on till Judd boots his ass one more time. Don't waste time on the asshole, well, cause he's one HUGE asshole. Don't park too close cause his asshole will just swallow up your full size american Pick Up truck. Please do, pray tell, ask him how his asshole got so big.....
Just another failed Hitler Youth.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:27 pm36 is an example of the classic Neo-con retreat. They get the snot kicked out them in an argument and then leave, after claiming they weren't really serious anyway.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:28 pmUnemployment...go back to masturbating over Dumbya's picture. You need to relax!
April 10th, 2006 at 3:28 pmUnemployed,
Coming from the hate-clinton-party, that's rich. And you guys didn't just hate Billy boy, you had to add in Hillary and Chelsea.
I know people who are married because they met in a bar and discovered that they both had an undying hatred for all things named Clinton.
Of course they are born again Christians, so I'm sure they will eventually turn the other cheek.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:32 pm#36 And all you have to do. Now, who is to be pitied? Goofball NeD.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:35 pmTo think the insame guy who thought it proper to cut off Bush's penis has already been charged by the feds, and he was in an aslym at the time....this guys has a whole radio station to play with, I can't believe he didn't break a few federal laws in there somewhere....the Bush penis thing, well---Rove already has his jewels in a box, so the penis is not really completely functional.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:35 pmAnother right-to-life "christian" showing the true colors of the nazi majority of the Repugnican party.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:37 pmWhat will matter is how the FCC responds.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:41 pmBrian James sounds like a gang member, thinking that blasting a cap into some random person is a good way to keep people off their turf.
Of course, James would probably advocate shooting opposing gang members, too.
Alternate image: James, in a Twilight Zone episode, getting his wish then ending up alone in the middle of the desert at the wrong end of a sniper rifle.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:42 pm#55. No nipples were exposed so this is out of the realm of concern of the FCC.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:43 pm[...] The full article can be found here at Think Progress. [...]
April 10th, 2006 at 3:44 pmAren't jokes and satire suppose to be funny?
April 10th, 2006 at 3:44 pmI can’t believe he didn’t break a few federal laws in there somewhere
What will matter is how the FCC responds.
Yeah lets get them to start putting the stop to all unpopular speech.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:45 pmSounds like a good idea. It is an invasion. Just look at your backyard, that you will not have any longer because one of these illegals has taken your job.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:47 pmFar out!
This means I can off right-wing bloviators, right??? After all, it would be fun...
April 10th, 2006 at 3:49 pmIt's a shame to read the vituerative commentary that appears from BOTH sides on blogs like this. Threatening to beat people up for their opinions doesn't do anybody any good. When individuals like Unemployment Rate decide to show up, I'd like to see them treated with respect, but trenchantly argued against. And if the comments become inflamatory, don't take the bait. If there's anything we need in this country, it's civility, and actual discourse as opposed to quarreling. Perhaps then wackos like this radio host and Ann Coulter will receive the type of attention that they actually deserve: which is to be completely ignored.*
*And that's not to say that things like this shouldn't be legally examined if a crime was committed, which may have happened in this case.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:50 pmI've often said what's needed for these criminal racist inbred al Cracker sombiches...
...it's only a matter of time before civil war breaks out...
...here in America...
...honorable Americans will be compelled to finish...
...what Lincoln started...
April 10th, 2006 at 3:53 pmTundra,
If I was a liberal talk radio host, and I said something on the air similar too:
"folks these evangelical conservatives are trying to make us into a christian fundamentalist state. I think we should pick a random sunday, and wait outside with sniper rifles, and off them as they leave church."
I think there would be a few people upset about that statement don't you?
April 10th, 2006 at 3:54 pmTundra there is a difference between saying "I don't like people crossing the border illegally" and "I would really like to hunt these people down and put a bullet in their heads."
Can you really not see the difference?
April 10th, 2006 at 3:55 pmI'm no longer proud to be an American.This country has had a long history of racism and murder,going all the way back to the European discovery of it.The 1960's brought hope,(civil rights movement)and despair(the vietnam war) but back them I had high hopes the country was,slowly,overall moving in the right direction,The came Reagan,which brought in a "NEW DARK AGES",but Bushi s MUCH,MUCH worse.IF there is a major economic breakdown in this country is headed to a bloody civil war,and with the rightwing media dehumanizing liberals,leftist,and all non-whites a blood bath is on the way,HOW CAN ANYONE TOLERATE THIS HATEFUL,FASCIST REGIME.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:55 pmIf you can fine one station millions of dollars for exposing JJ's nipple, obviously a serious threat to the rule of law...how much should the fine be for inciting murder? It will be interesting to watch the government's reaction.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:57 pm30 - "I bet that snotty-assed puke hits like a friggin’ girl, don’t you UR?"
Comment by Joe Sixpack
*****Joe - Better watch out, unbelievable will by calling you a "mysoginist". If you said, "I bet that snotty-a$$ed puke hits like a flaming queen," would you be labelled a "homophobe"?
On thread: No one should advocate killing border jumpers. I think we should follow the example of the Mexican government, who stringently patrol their southern border, and turn back illegals. Stop the breech of our southern border.
April 10th, 2006 at 3:57 pmI think there would be a few people upset about that statement don’t you?
I agree there would be upset people about it for sure. My point is, I don't think trying to get the government to stop speech is the best answer here. Sure write letters to advertisers, complain to the station, heck launch a smear campaign against him.
This blog often states how the country is turning into a facist controlled country and there are several posts that are trying to push it even more. Is what he said stupid? yuppers. But where do we draw the line on the First Amendment? I bet we could find several things on this site itself that would cross any line drawn. Should the government investigate and fine the person who runs this site? Not as far as I'm concerned.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:01 pm66
Can you really not see the difference?
I fully see the difference, I don't advocate what the idiot said at all either. I'm saying where would you like the line drawn on freedom of speech?
April 10th, 2006 at 4:03 pmJust another right-wing psycho.
All he needs is a dress and he can be Ann Coulter's twin sister.
And all you Republicans, I want to blow your heads off with a 12 guage...just kidding!!
April 10th, 2006 at 4:06 pmWhat would Jesus do? If Jesus had actually lived, instead of being an allegorical figure, he would have been terribly disappointed in his moronic followers. Why is it that these patheticj low life individuals always end up being right wing republicans and christian fundamentalists. Give me a break!
April 10th, 2006 at 4:07 pmAaaah, blow it out yer ass!
April 10th, 2006 at 4:07 pmAdvocating for someone's Murder certainly sounds like its vioilation of another person's First Amendment Rights.
Should Death Threats be protected by the first amendment?
Wow, yet another symptom of Bush America.
Death Threats: Aren't they really a form of Free Speech?
Geez!
April 10th, 2006 at 4:08 pm#67 - Dear ProudLeftty - Good news - we're no longer proud you're an American. Your tripe concerning the discovery (I'm sure you think of it as an invasion) of America is right out of my younger sister's college hiStory class. Intellectually lazy, contemporary people foolishly judge (and despair!!) over long ago historical events through a modern lens. (Determining that "vile" America did not want to punish traitors with disembowelment and be-heading. Viewed as cruel and unusual punishment, our foreFATHERS had no problem with hanging or firing squad. Today few Americans would tolerate such a dispatch....values evolved...who knew??
April 10th, 2006 at 4:09 pmThat knuckle-dragging guy's name is Aphrodite?
Jeez, just what we need, another right wingnut guy in a dress.
What is with these Republicans? They're always getting their freak on.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:10 pmPeople like #12 aren't genuine conservatives, Glenn Greenwald pointed out what they really are: Authority Cultists.
they have lost the ability to be reasonable and in my opinion have reached a point wherein they have somehow transubstantiated Bush into the literal physical and spiritual embodiment of America itself and because the depth of their emotional investment in his supposed divinity, any criticism of Bush is viewed by these whackjobs as both Heresy and Treason in the same breath.
Sort of like the Arthurian concept of the Land and the King being One
and yet they call others "deranged" and "unhinged"
April 10th, 2006 at 4:18 pmactually tom3, ma is a female. She's made referances to such in the past. A twit, but not a male twit.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:20 pmLet the thinking, reasonable people bombard them with emails. I am in Arizona, I wrote to them saying that this station will not be listened to. If I kid around satirically that I am going to kill certain politician, I will get a visit from the Law enforcement or FBI. Why should these hatred spewing bigots have a right to do what they are doing that I cannot? Soon after posting a comment here, email KFYI.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:20 pmLeft-wing mouthpiece Ben Affleck advocates hanging the President. Mary Landrieu advocates punchin him in the face. What’s your point, Judd?

Well? Can YOU say "tax cuts"? Fuck. We're all doomed. This is the level of intellect we're stuck with, forever and ever, amen.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:21 pmListen now everybody in this country that pay either payroll , sales , or property taxes pay way more than enough to take care of our sevices , mexicans included . Let's blame the government for our short falls , not our fellow man . This crap we're in is a case of totaly bungled management of our government . Flip the taxes over 180 degrees and we'll solve this . That means no cuts in capitol gains taxes and any other taxes the rich seem to slide by on . It's time to start breaking noses of trolls .
April 10th, 2006 at 4:21 pmNice little hate speech radio station they have there. So when can we expect these guys to start advocating the murder of political dissenters?
April 10th, 2006 at 4:22 pmyou got that right crapture.
they really have so much tied up emotionally in the bush regime that they are incapable of facing the facts.
Somewhere a Republican is looking at a photo of the Chimp-in-Chief and shouting, "I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU!!"

Advocating for someone’s Murder certainly sounds like its vioilation of another person’s First Amendment Rights.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. ???
That one doesn't have anything about personal security or the right not to have someone say something about you/threaten you.
Should Death Threats be protected by the first amendment?
Wow, yet another symptom of Bush America. (I'm not the one advocating giving more control to your Buddy Bushco here)
Death Threats: Aren’t they really a form of Free Speech?
Ok, fine you are right, lets have you put down a list of what things should be illegal to say. Then we can hunt through a few blogs and point out all types of stuff to the FCC and see if we can't get a few shut down. I'd be willing to bet the ACLU won't touch this issue with a 10 foot pole either (Rightly so in my opinion). Why do we need government to settle everything?
April 10th, 2006 at 4:22 pmComplaints can be submitted on-line on-line to the FCC. Here is what I submitted to the FCC:
"On more than one occasion, Brian James, a KFYI 'personality,' has incited the murder of illegal immigrants crossing the U.S. border. I'm not sure what the FCC considers "indecent," but in my opinion incitement to commit murder ought to be on the list. Mr. James, and his station, have defended the speech as satirical, but anyone who has listened to the broadcasts can readily determine that this was not the case.
"KFYI is inciting murder. In these tense times along the border, I think it's particularly irresponsible. The FCC should consider a fine against the station that will convince KFYI that it will be to their financial disadvantage to do this again."
April 10th, 2006 at 4:23 pmThat sounds suspiciouly like terrorism to me...

April 10th, 2006 at 4:25 pmI'd hazard a guess on the "WEll, do you think you could kick Bush's arse" and say, yeah. and I'm a 19 year old who could stand to lose a good 20 to 30 pounds. Not being a boozer and hooked on psychotropics and anti-depressants gives me the edge though. And I'm having a real hard time coming up with a president that GWB could best in a fist fight. Second term Reagan maybe.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:27 pm/actually had an argument with a righttard over who would win in a fist fight, GWB or GEORGE MOTHEREFFING WASHINGTON!
Isn't it already a crime to incite others to violence?
April 10th, 2006 at 4:30 pmTelling Bubba, Cletus, and Jimbo to slap red-dots on their 30-06s and snipe some wetbacks sounds like inciting violence, doesn't it?
Saying illegals should be killed, it'd be fun, and here's how to do it=incitement.

Actually that line was drawn a while back when a couple of KKK members took their leader at his word. (When Bennie Hays Said "If a black man can get away with killing a white man, we ought to be able to get away with killing a black man.")
After the two murderers were found guilty, the mother of the victim sued the United Klans of America and won, thereby bankrupting them and taking the land the organisation rested on. Theoretically the law shows that any immigrants whose family members get killed crossing the border may have a case for damages against the station where Brian James works, or Brian James himself, provided the killer happened to listen to that show.

Actually he's advocating taking over the job the US Border Patrol and Texas Rangers once did as part of their every day routine. If the violence against our Border Patrol agents and US citizens coming from the other side of the border continues to escalate they may just begin once again to handle intruders the old fashioned way. Adios amigo.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:32 pm#76 - So you think that the systematic brutalization and murder of the indigenous peoples by Euro-Americans was morally right or at least excusable because of their different values? Violence is violence, no matter what lens you view it through. One of the reasons we examine the past is because many of the trends that existed in the past still live with us today, such as American Exceptionalism - the "noble" task of bringing republicanism to the "savages" of the world. This was a common excuse employed by the United States government as it appropriated the lands of Native Americans. And again, the old wine in new bottles is being brought out to justify our invasion and exploitation of Iraq.
There are certainly many things to be proud about in our past, but there are also many dark, blood-soaked stains upon our history. To deny the past is to deny who we are.

April 10th, 2006 at 4:34 pmI-WRONG-I is wrong again.
The US Border Patrol does not murder illegals.
In fact, there was a case where a Marine stationed at the border shot an illegal and he was tried for murder.
Once again, I-Wrong-I, you have proven that you are a psychopathic moron.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:36 pmBruce,
it sounds like the station itself needs to get involved, not the FCC. If they station ended up facing serious lawsuits from the families of murdured Mexicans I think they would move to censor this dude. That would be an internal censor, not a government censor.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:36 pm98,
I agree with Krazny here. Pressure the station, pressure the companies that advertise on the show. Assemble outside the station. Heck Sue the station in a civil court when some yahoo shoots anywhere near the border. Just don't give them more power than they aleady have.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:43 pmWhat is scary is Brian James is not a lone nut in the conservative bowl.
The bowl is full of nuts.
Ann Coulter and G. Gordon Liddy have both advocated murdering people.
The right wing in this country has gone stark raving insane.
We need to institutionalize them and put them on strong medications.
We can start with I-Wrong-I, who is obviously psychotic.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:44 pmI think IRI is already institutuionalized and on strong meds, you can see how well it is working.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:46 pm#76 - So you think that the systematic brutalization and murder of the indigenous peoples by Euro-Americans was morally right or at least excusable because of their different values?
It was war, not murder. The fact that it wasn't a fair fight in no way makes the outcome any less moral than your blathering about the so-called murder of "indigenous" people. Liberal self loathing Dimwit.
Violence is violence, no matter what lens you view it through. One of the reasons we examine the past is because many of the trends that existed in the past still live with us today, such as American Exceptionalism - the “noble†task of bringing republicanism to the “savages†of the world.

And again, the old wine in new bottles is being brought out to justify our invasion and exploitation of Iraq.
It's funny how you left wing fucktards never mention the mass slaughter of tens of millions of "indigenous peoples" by the Russian and Chinese communists. That of course was a noble cause. Only America can be evil.
There are certainly many things to be proud about in our past, but there are also many dark, blood-soaked stains upon our history. To deny the past is to deny who we are.
Comment by Liberal and Loving It
April 10th, 2006 at 4:49 pmAmericans kick ass and take names and any blood that was shed on behalf of our country was blood well spent. To think and say otherwise is to show yourself to be a traitor to our country who defecates on the graves of our fallen heroes.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I submit for your approval a vast cross section of what's tearing this nation apart. I would suffice to say that the majority of us on this page do NOT live in the areas of the country most affected by "illegal aliens", or "Undocumented migrants" or, "Guest workers", if you will. To critcize comments that should or should not have been made in jest or otherwise, without feeling the affects of the problem is unwarranted.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:49 pmGiven: The speech/commentary was inflammatory, but which side isn't? Democrats hate conservatives, Republicans hate liberals...all news reports on either side are now coming from entertainers, not journalists. Don't kill them, but erect a wall with one door - and make them enter as "legals" - just like the majority of our ancestors did.
People of the United States, now is the time not for bickering...but for standing up for common sense.
This is how the Rwandan genocide started. Don't underestimate the power of radio to incite bloodlust. James needs to be arrested this afternoon on federal hate crime charges, and rebuked by every public official.

Are you, like Brian James, advocating murder?
Fucktard? Did you make that up all by yourself, IRI? You say it an awful lot. Grab a dic.
April 10th, 2006 at 4:59 pmI am amazed anyone would dare argue for, support, defend or align themselves with Mr. James and his concept of cold blooded murder in the name of self-righteous vitrial. Seriosly folks... leave all the petty name calling aside, the silly "claims", the school yard finger pointing and return to the core issue.
Mr. James seriously advocates (until he proves otherwise) committing heinous crimes. There is no civility within him nor should there be any quarter for his ideas whatsoever, and yet, it's a debate?
Stand back and look at it and try to recall when anyone of logic in your upbringing said in some fashion or other that what Mr. James is inciting is either goodness or merciful!
I know my momma didn't allow me to be wrong; did yours?
April 10th, 2006 at 4:59 pmDear ProudLeftty - Good news - we’re no longer proud you’re an American.

April 10th, 2006 at 5:00 pmJust thought I'd leave you folks with the form-letter response I received from the turds in charge at KFYI when I wrote to demand that James be fired. It makes perfect sense that they're a Clear Channel station.
============================================
Newstalk 550 KFYI in Phoenix is responding to Friday’s letter to the FCC from Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard and U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton, calling the letter an election-year political ploy that is an effort to muzzle free speech.
Program Director Laurie Cantillo says, "We are extremely disappointed that this letter was issued in the form of a ‘press release’ at 5:04 PM on a Friday, when neither Mr. Goddard nor Mr. Charlton were available for comment. The letter was written at the request of the Arizona Interfaith Network, which is not a charity but a left-wing political lobby with ties to organized labor. 550 KFYI is the only media outlet in the Valley that has been calling for secure borders, and we will fight this attempt to curtail our First Amendment freedoms."
Goddard and Charlton take issue with a March 8 evening broadcast, in which fill-in host Brian James satirically discusses "border roulette"--shooting anyone who crosses the U.S./Mexico border illegally one night a week. Cantillo says, "550 KFYI management does not condone violence as a solution to the illegal immigration problem. Mr. James was asked to issue a disclaimer within the same broadcast making it clear that KFYI does not endorse his comments. Listeners who heard the segment in context understood that the remarks were made in satire, as management has not received a single listener complaint."
The Goddard/Charlton letter does not reference which part of the U.S. Federal Code has been allegedly violated, and Cantillo notes, "We have concluded that no statute has been violated and that the letter is entirely without merit. The FCC customarily refrains from involving itself in the content of specific programs that might be regarded as program censorship. Mr. Goddard and Mr. Charlton have fallen prey to a political ploy to drum up support for the April 10 pro-immigration rally."
"We take our responsibility as broadcasters very seriously," says Cantillo, "We have provided balanced news coverage on the immigration issue and our hosts have a wide range of opinions as to how to solve the problem of illegal immigration. We welcome all viewpoints and encourage healthy debate on this serious issue. I am proud to live in a country that affords free speech rights to even those who are here illegally. Broadcasters need to have the same rights."
===========================================
Boycott. But more than that, spread the word as widely as possible that Clear Channel thinks it's important to promote the rantings of a man who believes that murder is an acceptable response to illegal immigration.
April 10th, 2006 at 5:00 pmI-WRONG-I is a typical neocon spin artist and liar.
He puts words in peoples mouths. He assumes that liberals think that murder is okay if communists do it.

April 10th, 2006 at 5:27 pmI just wrote KFYI. I live in Arizona and I find this a total and complete embarassment to this state. My letter:
Advocating the cold-blooded murder of ANYONE over the public airwaves is unacceptable and should not be tolerated by the radio station's owners.
James' comments, "What we’ll do is randomly pick one night - every week - where we will kill whoever crosses the border. Step over there and you die. You get to decide whether it’s your lucky night or not. I think that would be more fun…[I’d be] happy to sit there with my high-powered rifle and my night scope," are not acceptable.
I repeat. THEY ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.
I know that KFYI thrives on right-wing lunacy, but these comments have crossed the line. How long do you think he'd be allowed to remain on the air should he advocate--say--murder of an elected official, or a public servant like a policeman. Adding to the stench that's rising from the broadcasting booth is the overt, outright racism inherent in his comments.
THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
James must make a public apology and then be premanently removed from his position at the station.

Let me get this straight. You two (IRI, and MA) are looking at the website of a small group of people who are advocating returning the southwest states to Mexico. You are also linking the larger progressive liberal movement to this minority. Last time I checked none of the progressive posters on TP, or the democratic party was pushing this position. I also don't see our government, or the millions of US citizens who live in the south west states taking this seriously. Time to face get off the meds and clear your heads a bit.

April 10th, 2006 at 5:41 pmHEREZ SOME OTHER STATMENTS I READ ON THE 'HUFF-PO' SITE:
"WE SHOULD MAKE EVERY (ARRESTED)ILLEGAL FROM MEXICO IN ARIZONA,WEAR ANKLE CHAINS,LIKE THE 'SHERRIF(MEXICAN!) ARPIAO-DOES,IN PHOENIX-MARICOPA COUNTY,BECAUSE (HE) DOES THIS WITH ALL HIS 'CONVICTS'!!DURING THE DAY,HE GOES WITH WITH (HIS) OWN PRISON INMATES,AND MAKES THEM PICK UP GARBAGE ALONG THE FREEWAYS. THE PRISONERS ALSO LIVE IN TENTS,BECAUSE OF OVERCROWDING,AND GUESS HOW MANY CONVICTED ILLEGALS ARE IN THERE-ALSO?
THE REAL WAY TO RETURN THESE ILLEGAL IMMMIGRANT SCUM-BAGS IS TO MAKE THEM GO BACK THE SAME 'ILLEGAL TRAILS' IN THE (THONO ODHAM RESERVATION)DESERT THAT THEY LITTERED-DESTROYED WITH DIAPERS-GARBAGE-FECES-SHIT -MAKESHIFT SHELTERS-ETC.AND BE FORCED TO 'PICK UP' THEIR LITTER+DRY FECES,AND CLEAN UP THEIR MESS AS THEY ARE SLOWLEY 'WALKED-BACK' ON THE SAME REMOTE TRAIL THEY CAME IN-ON.WE SHOULD USE ARPIAOS 'STORM TROOPERS AND OUR NATIONAL GUARD FOR THIS WHILST THESE ILLEGALS PICK UP TRASH-IN THEIR ANKLE CHAINS,BUT THE GUARD HAS YET TO RETURN FROM THE 'WAR OF LIES' BY BUSH.
THERE SHOULD BE A 'WAGE' PAID THESE 'TRASH CLEAN UP' ILLEGALS,(SAME AS ARPIAO'S PRISONERS-PEANUTS)SO THEY CAN FLOOD MEXICO WITH THE TRASH THEY PICKED UP(DUMP IT IN NOGALES-SIDE) AND HAVE SOME 'DINERO' FOR GETTING BACK TO THEIR HOME TOWN.WE SHOULD ALSO RADIO TAG-INJECT THESE 'GUEST WORKERS-SENT HOME' WITH AN RADIO ID TG,AND IF THEY CROSS THE BORDER -AGAIN....THEY WOULD FACE SEVERE PENALTIES,SUCH AS 'LIFE' IN A 'MEXICAN STYLE PRISON,RUN BY CORPRATE GOONS,WH DO EXACTLY WHAT MEXICAN PRISONS DO; MAKE IT VERY UNPLEASANT!
IF 'VINCENTE' DOESN'T LIKE WHAT THIS NEW PROGRAM DOES,THEN WE WILL BILL HIM-MEXICO,UNTILL ENOUGH 'DEBT' IS UNPAID TO THEN...INVADE BAJA('COMMANDER'-BUSH COULD DO THIS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS) MEXICO AND SECURE IT AS'COLLATERAL'! WE WOULD MOVE ALL THE 'ARPIAO' ILLEGALS-APPREHENDED PRISONERS(IN BOX CARS) TO THE HOTTEST MOST DESOLATE BAJA DESERT,WHERE MEXICAN-STYLE PRISONS WOULD AWAIT THE NOW RADIO-TAGGED 'VIOLATERS',WITH MEXICAN NATIONALS AS THEIR GUARDS.TIT FOR TAT; BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY 'GRINGO' WHO IS UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO LAND IN A MEXICAN PRISON.
BAJA BEACH FRONT PROPERTIES WOULD BE 'SOLD' TO AMERICANS CANADIANS-JAPANESE-CHINESE,WHO ARE WEALTHY ENOUGH TO RETIRE-SETTLE THERE,AND ALL MEXICANS LIVING IN BAJA WOULD BE DEPORTED TO THE MEXICAN MAINLAND,BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL (THE RICH ONES)CORRUPT AND WOULD CONTINUE TO DO WHAT MAINLAND MEXICO DOES,SO WELL.....CAUSE MEXICANS TO LEAVE THEIR COUNTRY!!
THE CHATHOLIC CHURCH WOULLD ALSO BE BANED FROM BAJA,BECAUSE (THEY) ARE THE REASON FOR THE OVERPOPULATION OF MEXICO-ANYHOW!
AND WE WOULD ALSO BEGIN TO INSNARE-CATCH-LITERALY 'NET' ALL THOOSE ILLEGALS (ON CAMERA)WHOM PROTEST ON OUR STREETS,WHO WAVE MEXICAN FLAGS,BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT (THEY) DID NOT 'WAVE ANY MEXICAN FLAG' WHEN THEIR CRIMINALY-CHICKENSHIT-ASSES ....CROSSED OUR SOVERIGN BORDERS,SINCE THEY KNOW THEY WERE GUILTY AND NONE WOULD WEAR A MEXICAN-FLAG T SHIRT-EITHER,BECAUSE IT WOULD 'CLASH' WITH THEIR( 'DRESS LIKE AN GRINGO' )CAMOFLAGE-APPERANCE,TO FOOL THE BORDER PATROL!!

See you you have to grasp for someone that is unknown, unempowered and unimportant (Ward Churchill?) to try to 'implicate' liberals. We can just go straight to your politicians to find the Nazis. So what's the real point? You live in glass houses you Fake Lawyer, Fake Woman and Fake American.
And everyone knows that you're MizzWrong's alter ego... So just go take some lithium, and leave the sane people to have a real political discussion. And take the rest of the ABUNDANT rude hater's club of republicans with you...

April 10th, 2006 at 7:13 pmWhat Affleck said the other night was that Bush's crimes could be judged treasonous in court and if so, he could be hanged. He did not advocate hanging Bush as someone here claimed. As for Mary Landrieu saying she felt like punching him in the nose for his lack of response to Katrina, that hardly equates to a rifle aimed to kill on sight.

April 10th, 2006 at 7:21 pmDo you believe that if the massive numbers of illegals were crossing the border from the United States to Mexico, that the Mexican government would hesitate to act with violent and deadly force against the illegals barging into their country? They have no respect for us, and yet they expect us to take care of a population that they cannot care for themselves.
April 10th, 2006 at 7:22 pmThis is not simply advocating murder, this is advocating ethnic cleansing. That is what is behind this.
April 10th, 2006 at 7:42 pmshoelimpy,
Your ignorance is TYPICAL of the reichwinger Nazis of the republican party. Here's a story from the economist that shows you're a FOOL. On the Mexico Guatemala border, Mexico has the same problem with illegals as the US does. And while abuse does occur (as it does in the US), the Mexican government recognizes human rights, and even has personnel stationed there to help the illegals KNOW THEIR RIGHTS. And ironically it was the US that told mexico to deploy more police on the border to keep out guatemalans that might have drugs and weapons out of the country.

Is stupid a requirement of being a republican - or is it a happy accident you found the correct political party to represent your values?
April 10th, 2006 at 7:46 pmErik,
Republicans are reichwing nazis, so ethnic cleansing is part and parcel to their natural philosophies. Don't be surprised. Sooner or later they have to find some scapegoat to blame, and some (if not all) ethnic groups they don't like to cleanse. It looked like the Arabs/Muslims for a while, then it looked like the gays, now it's looking like the mexicans are the latest nazi targets. If we had lots of gypsies in the US, they would have already been on the short list.
Without a scapegoat to blame for economic and social uncertainties - the whole Nazi / Republican approach to power and its exercise don't work. It's all based on divide, fear, attack and hate. It's what they did in the 1920s & 1930s in europe, and we've got a repeat today with the modern nazis. The evangelicals helped Hitler rise to power, just as they helped bush. It's 'their way'.
April 10th, 2006 at 7:53 pm164 - I don't see your point. Are you trying to fulminate against the study of the history of imperialism and exploitation? I ask you, what is wrong with being cognizant of the history of our nation, good and bad? Perhaps if we were more aware of our history and all the suffering we have caused in the world we would be less inclined to engage in the types of behavior that cause suffering and violate our principles, like supporting dictatorships like the Shah of Iran, the royal family of Saudi Arabia, e.c.t. And I don't know what you mean by angst and collective guilt. I think that such things don't really get you anywhere. There is a big difference between knowledge and self-flagellation.
There were a few colonists who didn't brutalize Native Americans, such as William Penn. But yes, overall colonialism was and is a terrible bloody thing. What are you trying to argue? Just because numerous nations engaged in it doesn't make it right. Hopefully we will have the foresight to prevent our government engaging in such things in the future.

This is a non-sequitor. You say this like indigenous and loin cloth are bad - obviously you haven't seen the loin cloth wearers at daytona. And you say that 'modernization' is good, and that 'primitive cultures' are bad in this stupid statement of yours. They're both an over simplification from a RETARD like yourself who's to NAIVE to see the world, and realize that just because people fail is not an excuse to expect better. And just because civilizations have been inhumane in the past, to not expect BETTER in the future. Your fatalism and pessimism is exactly what I would expect from a Hate filled, Bigotted, Lying and Hypocritical moron like yourself. You're a big Bag of #$$# you hate filled pusbag.

Criminal behavior doesn't justify the outcome. Much of america's great fortunes were from criminal minds and criminal activity. You say that these families shouldn't feel guilt and shame for their past - that's true. However if they currently engage in those criminal activities they should. Justifying past failures of individuals or countries as 'the way it is', is like accepting slavery as 'good' because we've done it in the past. It's obscenely pessimistic, and disgustingly immoral. But then again, so you are Mighty Pervert.

We live in dangerous times--for a good example of typical prototype neocon thinking from the Third Reich see the movie "The Ninth Day". You all are criminal and traitors to the American legacy.
One more thing before I'm done:
You say my comments are overwhelmingly negative, eh? Well, I say that I am proud to live in a country built upon the principles of self-rule and personal freedom. I am proud that our country stands up for these ideals. But I am also aware that our government is doing many things that I and many others on both sides of the political divide believe are un-American and antithetical to the vision of our founders, like engaging in spying upon our citizens without warrants, and supporting tyrannical regimes.
I can't think of anything more patriotic than to stand up for what our founding fathers fought so hard to achieve.
You may disagree with me, but don't call me unpatriotic. Don't call liberals unpatriotic. I don't know about you, but I believe in standing up for what I is best for this county, regardless of who came up with the idea. We may disagree on what that is, and if so, let's discuss it in a civilized manner.
And what's wrong with fighting for a better world, a better today? I have hope for the future, for a more peaceful, just and equitable world and country. Do you?

April 10th, 2006 at 10:17 pmWell I e-mailed my complaint as per the writer's note, & received this response:
"Thank you for the opportunity to respond. 550 KFYI regrets that listeners found illegal immigrant comments made by a fill-in host, who is not a KFYI employee, insensitive. KFYI does not condone violence as a solution, nor does KFYI make light of border issues. We welcome a reasoned discussion on this important issue.
Laurie Cantillo
Program Director
Newstalk 550 KFYI/XTRA Sports 910"
Why do I think that nothing's going to happen?? Could it be because KFYI's listenership will probably greatly increase due to the offensive comments by that Nazi host, James? We had a similar situation in Milwaukee when a similar right-wing talk show host, Mark Belling, referred to Latino's as "wetback" on the air, & the was a lot of sound & fury, but nothing happened to that host either.
April 10th, 2006 at 10:18 pmHow funny would the radio station think it would be to call them up and threaten to shoot any host they had (fill in or not) when you don't like what they had to say?
April 10th, 2006 at 10:21 pmI just read this whole thread I want to say, "Gee that's nothin' the local wingnut host in SF is calling for killing 10 million. Muslims that is."
- Brian Sussman, Talk show host, KSFO 560 AM San Francisco speaking about an estimated 10 million Muslims he has determined are on a jihad to kill "the infidel".
Why is THAT okay?
Here is the audio clip where he said what we need to do with the estimated 10 million Muslims that are out to kill us.
http://s88172659.onlinehome.us/shortKSFO560AMSussmanMuslimsYoujusthavetokillthem03142006H18M06.wma
Of course he also things it should be preemptive. That is another why that he works to incite violence.
http://s88172659.onlinehome.us/2006/03/brian-sussman-you-just-have-to-kill.html
I guess because we are "at war" with the Muslims it is okay for him to say this.
Pretty grim quote eh? But check it out, this constitutes progress with Brian Sussman. After losing 8 major national advertisers he has modified his rhetoric somewhat. It only took 6 months and who knows know much lost advertising revenue for KSFO for him to slightly modify his hate vectors (I wonder if the sales people who lost their Christmas bonus because of his comments are still buddies with him?) So now instead of insulting all Muslims (even going to the extreme of insulting people who just SOUND like Muslims) he recommends we only have to kill the 10 million he estimates are out to kill us. Now I don't know what faith Sussman actually practices, because this doesn't sound like any Christian faith I'm familiar with.
April 10th, 2006 at 11:18 pmShoot a Neo-Con and live. let him live and your children dies, in the next battlefield......
April 10th, 2006 at 11:40 pmGee, what would Jesus do????
Yep, I can see Jesus with his 50 caliber rifle with a night scope sitting close to the U.S./Mexico border and popping one into the heads of people crossing it. And Jesus would laugh. Pop. And Jesus would laugh. Pop. And Jesus would laugh just like Brian James would laugh. Even though the person being popped might be an undercover INS agent. Or a young, innocent Mexican child. Yep, Jesus would laugh just like Brian James is laughing about killing people.
So, let's get something straight.
War is Hell.
George W. Bush is the War President. Therefore, he is also the Hell President. Brian James, like so many others, supports the Hell President.
On the other hand, Jesus Christ was and is the Prince of Peace. Thus, if Jesus were president, Jesus would be the Peace President.
George W. Bush is the War President, which makes him also the Hell President. He is hardly a Christian, or follower of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
The supporters of George W. Bush, the Hell President, therefore are not Christian either, especially Brian James who views killing people as a joking matter.
So, the followers of George W. Bush, the War/Hell President are actually anti-peace and anti-Jesus, which definitely means they are non-Christians. And I don't care how many times they claim they've been saved or born again or go to church or whatever, their support of the War/Hell President proves that they haven't a clue about Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.
April 11th, 2006 at 12:03 amOne of my Grandfathers was an immigrant from Ireland. If it weren't for that I wouldn't have the PRIVILAGE of being here in America. And when he arrived here, he made himself known, became a LEGAL American citizen, paid his taxes like everyone else, and actually contributed to the American way. One of my Grandmother's parents did the same thing, except they immigrated from Germany. They made themselves know, became LEGAL American citizens, paid taxes and contributed like other American citizens. Thank God for immigration. Thank You, God, for the blessing of being born as an American!
I know two very large Mexican families who immigrated from Mexico by virtue of having their babies here on American soil many years ago. They didn't ask for handouts, freebies, or for anyone here to support them. They made themselves known, worked hard at obtaining their LEGAL American citizenships through the proper channels, they worked hard at their jobs and paid their taxes and actually contributed to the American society. They are proud to be Americans. I am proud to know them and happy that they all live here in American. What a blessing. And any one of them would agree, any one of them would tell you it's not a right to be here...but a PRIVILAGE. Yes, indeed it is! I am all for immigration...it diversifies and enriches our lives...and blesses us with people who will be a part of our lives forever.
What I am NOT for are those who come here looking for a "free ride" at the American citizens' expense. I would not allow my own sibbling to mooch off me. If I were providing anything for my own sibbling and could clearly see that they were freeloading, I would kick 'em out in a heartbeat. I will not be an enabler to such behavior. Therefore, I do not like being FORCED to let people I don't even know -all of whom aren't even LEGAL Americans- mooch off of me, my taxes, or my country. To add insult to injury, the ILLEGAL immigrants in our country now are showing us that they can bite the hand that feeds them and get away with it.
I personally listened to ALL of the few shows Brian James' did on KFYI recently and I heard quite a different message than the Liberal media is selectively putting out. Yes, Mr. James was joking satirically...maybe a little ballsy, but he clearly wanted to be heard. And yes, he DID in fact include a disclaimer with that broadcast (the one about the shooting bit) that he nor KFYI advocated shooting any illegal tresspassers...the Liberalist who started all of this knew that most of you didn't listen to his show so they dicided to omit that part. Yes, that means Terry Goddard's letter is technically incorrect...but looking stupid to the FCC is his perrogative. They will get a copy of the show in its ENTIRETY from the station and they'll hear the disclaimer for themselves. But that's besides my point and really not worth arguing about.
My point is that over the course of a few shows, Brian James' message was quite clear and actually quite simple, (I guess I am part of the listening population who was smart enough to hear and understand it,): Mr. James' message was that he has a serious problem with so many people crossing our (apparently very unprotected) borders ILLEGALLY and then for the most part doing nothing more than costing the American LEGAL citizens so much money. They aren't making themselves known, they aren't obtaining LEGAL status, and they aren't paying taxes....instead they are freeloading off of all of us tax-paying Americans. Mr. James' also expressed having a problem with the approximate 200,000 non-Mexicans, many from known terrorist-harboring countries, crossing our southern borders too, which is a clear threat to our Nation's security. However he chose to make his point is one thing... but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater here. ILLEGAL immigration IS a problem no matter how you look at it.
We need to seriously tighten our borders (and MEAN it, as was Brian James' point), prevent terrorists from getting in and to force those who in true earnest would like to immigrate and become American citizens, do so LEGALLY. If all of Mexico wants to immigrate...SUPER!!! But they (& anyone else) need to do so LEGALLY, they need to obtain legal US citizenship status within a given time period, and they MUST pay taxes and contribute as all other legal Americans have to do. If they do not do this, then they do not really want to be Americans, then at that time they should be deported back to the country from which they came. It is not right nor fair that anyone, regardless of ethnicity, be allowed to come into our country illegally and then mooch & freeload. Too many American families are struggling to support and feed their own children, how is it their job suddenly to support a bunch of illegal moochers? Why do these struggling American families who can barely afford medical insurance, if they can afford it at all, be forced to provide it for illegal immigrants? Why should doctors and nurses be forced to work for free? I don't ever recall a doctor saying that putting him/herself (and having gargantuan school loans to pay off)through medical school was for charity. This is America, and people here have American dreams...so if all these illegal immigrants want an American dream, then they need to start by ACTING like Americans first. They need to stop acting like they have more rights than citizens do. If American citizens forgoe medical treatments (as they often do) becasue they don't have insurance or no doctor will treat them for free...then guess what?!...NO illegal tresspasser should be getting free medical treatment either! It is their privilage to be standing on American soil and it's high time they start appreciating it.
My Grandparents didn't expect someone else to foot their bills. My Mexican-American friends didn't expect someone else to foot their bills either. One of them even told me he was ashamed of and embarrassed by his own people because of the way they freeload off of American society. That's enough to convince me.
It's not time to end immigration...I hope that never ends. But it IS time to end ILLEGAL immigration. It is time for these illegals, regardless of their ethnicity, to make themselves known, to actively obtain US citizenship through the proper channels, and to PAY TAXES...to PAY FOR THEIR OWN BILLS...it IS time to stop the financial bleeding of the American people, we have enough of our own problems, we shouldn't be forced into taking on theirs. I am sorry that our Grandfathers did not treat them right and just during the deportation in 1931....but that's not my fault and it's not my children's fault and we can't afford to pay for somebody else's wrongdoings from long before I was even born! I can welcome them now, but I will only do so if they are coming in LEGALLY and they PAY TAXES and start paying for their own damn bills...
Being a Republican, a Right-Winger, I can tell you that I happen to know many other Republicans (and Democrats for that matter) who hold the same opinions as I do. Anyone who says they are totally against immigration altogether just needs a copy of his/her own family tree...they might change their mind. Most of the Republicans I know are in favor of immigration....we are just sick of paying the freight for a bunch of freeloading moochers who won't live by Amercan laws and the same set of rules the rest of us do. (This might surprise some of you, but I actually know some Left-Wingers who feel exactly the same way.) We ALLOWED them to march our streets, (mind you, if we did this in Mexico we'd be thrown in prison for a year or two,) and still they demand hand-outs and "rights". If I were in charge down there, there'd be a whole lot of buses headed for Mexico right now just in repayment for their lack of gratitude.
As for the Left-Wingers who, instead of mentioning the radio braodcast when it actually happened, decided to carefully and very calculatively blow it out of proprtion just to create chaos just in time for your big immigration marches....you should all pull your heads out...it's really hard to tell which way the wind blows when they're so far up your @sses. If any one of you actually took the time to hear anything besides your own mouthes, you might actually hear that many of us have the same goals. So let's stop bickering like children and start focusing on what matters.
As for Mr. James...thank you for making a point that too many in this country are too chicken-sh*t to make!! (You should consider just spelling it out next time...obviously there are too many stupid people in this country whose brains don't have the capacity to follow along with a little insight.) And please, what ever you do, don't crap your pants in public...the rest of us have to breathe the air in this town too! (But I know you wouldn't...you would just grin because you've got people listening!)

The KFYI letter to the FCC and my letter to KFYI.
"The Program Director Laurie Cantillo said the comment was a satirical characterization of the frustration felt by Americans over the issue of illegal immigration.
“The listeners who heard the full broadcast understood that,†said Cantillo, adding that she had not gotten a single listener complaint."
Ms. Cantillo,
I am shocked beyond comprehension at, not only by Bryan James' comments, but by yours and KFYI's as well, in defense of those comments.
I don't suppose that the radio stations in Germany in 1938 got many complaints from those who objected to Nazi propaganda broadcasts either, but that doesn't mean they weren't reprehensible.

Comment by Tundra — April 10, 2006 @ 4:03 pm
Advocating murder is not a free speech issue. There is no defending, explaining this away as if it were a First Amendment problem.
Calls for violent action, and incitements to commit murder are against the law.
The radio host from that Arizona radio station knows very well what he did is illegal -hence his attempt to pass it as a joke.
April 11th, 2006 at 12:54 amOooops... looks like I've gotten to used to Microsoft Word correcting everything for me. Quite aware of the several misspellings I made in #196, should've checked that before hitting "post". But I wonder... if I were an illegal alien, I think I could convince Terry Goddard to write a letter for me recommending that Bill Gates give me a settlement before I sue him in court for making me lazy........ ha ha ha ha....

#168 What Mexico does is irrelevant, WE are the United States, Er are supposed to have standards that are supposed to make the world look up to us as an ideal to be emulated.
#174 Thailand was under Japaneese control during WWII.
#177 it is simply ridiculous to make your statement about Smedly Butler and the others. If they were taken from theitr era's cold, with no updating to their education, then you might have a point. However if they lived in our era, they would have our knowledge and methods at their disposal. though if they were republicans they would toss those methods out the window and wing it on ideology.
BTW Illegal immigration is no more of a problem today than it was ten years ago. It's just that they NEED another wedge issue to try and win back support.

Advocating murder is not a free speech issue. There is no defending, explaining this away as if it were a First Amendment problem.
Calls for violent action, and incitements to commit murder are against the law.
So you are saying if I dug through the archives on this very site. And was able after much much searching to find say a handful of instances like"
All Republicans should get a shotgun to the head
We need to shoot the "Reichtwingers" to preserve our society.
or my personal favorite: Someone needs to start dragging repubs behind a pickup for a while and see if they ever come to their senses
You would advocate contacting the government and authorities to investigate the posters responsible?
April 11th, 2006 at 1:24 amIn response to #202...
Yes, Tundra, it is true that Liberals and Democrats feel that Rebulicans should not be allowed to say anything they want. And if they disagree with a Republican's point, then they will go to any extreme to make mountians out of mole hills, scream about how they are being oppressed, and how evil and wrong the Republican is. HOWEVER, they also feel (and all of their actions/reactions/own words prove it) that THEY can say whatever they want to or about whomever they want.
A Lefty will make a HUGE issue over a remark (which was taken COMPLETELY out of context) that a Republican made about shooting someone (even though he was speaking tongue & cheek and probably would never, ever even think of REALLY shooting a human being)....but see, as we can ALL very CLEARLY see... Lefty's feel it is perfectly acceptable to talk about shooting Republicans, dragging them beihind trucks (which would surely kill them -isn't that murder?), and even shooting them point blank to the head. I even read something about a suggestion that someone should put a gun into Mr. James' mouth to shoot him. (Gee, talk about inciting speech.)
VERY INTERESTING. Lefty's are VERY full of DOUBLE STANDARDS!!!! But you know, they have political agendas to tend to...even if it means trashing their own integrity and making themselves look like foolish hypocrites.

I see that learning public incitement to violence and murder is illegal has startled you. Otherwise you wouldn't ask that question.
"[T]he constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or regulate advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action." (...)
[Brandenburg v. Ohio] gave rise to the Brandenburg test to determine when speech transgresses the line from mere advocacy, which is protected by the First Amendment, to incitement, which is not. That test anticipates that the unprotected speech intentionally produce a high likelihood of real imminent harm.
First Amendment Center - The First Amendment & Advocacy of Violence: An Overview
The key words here are "likely to produce such action".

Start wherever you want. I'd suggest you start by not changing the subject.
What that radio host did is reprehensible. Even the Arizona Attorney General has called the remarks "irresponsible and dangerous", specially when done by someone over the public radio waves.
It is perplexing you should avoid saying so -instead deflecting and bringing up Michael Moore (???).
April 11th, 2006 at 2:11 amA couple of rhetorical questions for certain self-proclaimed "religious lefties":
a.) when you leave your office at 5:50 pm, would you say "good night" to your secretary? Even if you lived in San Diego??
b.) the name of your religion that allows you to post the most vulgar, juvenile responses is....?
c.) your renunciation of your "independent wealth" occurred after your posts bragging of your privelege and circumstance???
d.) is your worldly manner and professed religiosity a bit premature - apparently you are unaware of certain Muslim religious ceremonies in which self-flagellation is a cornerstone????
I doubt anyone is an expert on everything - even those who do their best to demonstrate their "knowledge". If someone came to me asking about patent law, admiralty law or family law - it would be in the clients' best interests to refer them to an attorney with expertise in those fields. A bright person assumes they have limitations - a brilliant person knows their limitations.
Certain members of the "blame America always" crowd and "religious left" bellow "Nazi", "fascist", "reichwinger". Your opinion of me is none of my business.
April 11th, 2006 at 2:14 am#196 You are absolutely right. Immigration practices need to be gotten under control. It is an outrage that our own government (especially the ones who are supposed to represent the tax paying people of AZ) has stabbed us in the backs, AND IN OUR WALLETS BY MAKING US PAY FOR THE FINANCIAL BURDEN THE ILLEGAL INDIVIDUALS ARE COSTING US) and now they are representatives of the country of Mexico. Maybe these government officials (like Goddard) should leave Arizona and go get a job in Mexico.
I have nothing against people of other countries wanting to move to our country and make their way, but that's just it-- they need to MAKE THEIR OWN WAY just like everyone else in this country. It doesn't matter what political party we belong to, what ethnicity anyone is, what really matters is that if anyone wants to live in America as an American, then they must be required to follow American laws and pay taxes, etc. If someone doesn't want to do that then they can leave the country or live on the street, but they should not be entitled to free handouts and medical care that even Americans don't get just because they're whine louder. They are illegal and they are lucky to even be sleeping in the United States tonight.
We should all agree on that.
April 11th, 2006 at 2:14 amWhat that radio host did is reprehensible.
“irresponsible and dangerousâ€,
I completely agree!!!!! This guy is a waste of flesh who has no business being on the radio.
As I have stated before. My point being I think it's a bad idea to pull the government into this. Let society deal with it. Boycot the radio station, boycot the advertisers, march on the station, find a picture of him with 2 dogs and a hamster and make posters. Clamping down on our rights more by knee jerking on this is just going to get more legislation on what we can and can't say.

Apparently you are unaware that self-flagellation is a cornerstone in the celebration of the Holy Week rituals, during the re-enactement of the Passion of the Christ in many Latin American countries as well as the Philipines.
Celebrations in some countries include the crucifixion of a volunteer playing the part of Jesus Christ -minus the nails and the spear, but including the crown of thorns.

Not upset. Most pissed. Specially since they would do it without a warrant and claimed they have the "inherent power" to do as they pleased.
See the difference?

Me too! Stop taking my rights away, including speech.
I listened to the audio that was posted at the top and it was about as serious as anything else on talk radio. It was clearly a "Shock Jock" doing his thing. I honestly cannot see anyone thinking that was anything more than an extremist position to make a point.
Howard Stern pulled the same BS and the FCC was always all over him. Janets little move caused a delay in live broadcasting (Government required). Make it stop.
April 11th, 2006 at 2:37 amWe should replace harmful government agencies like the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) with more agile, free-market alternatives. The mission of the FDA is to protect us from unsafe medicines. In fact, the FDA has driven up healthcare costs and deprived millions of Americans of much-needed treatments. For example, during a 10-year delay in approving Propanolol Propranolol (a heart medication for treating angina and hypertension), approximately 100,000 people died who could have been treated with this lifesaving drug. Bureaucratic roadblocks kill sick Americans.
http://www.lp.org/issues/healthcare.shtml
You could use that base model for any of them. Government spending is so wasteful and unorganized due to it's size. If you have ever worked in government you know how hard it is to get anything useful done. I don't think the government needs to be involved in every facet of my life. Am I advocating anarchy as you always put it, ummm no. Far from it.
April 11th, 2006 at 2:54 amSorry, but your list just shows how relevant and important government is to a civilized life to me for the most part.
Ok, that's fine. Personally I don't think the government always knows what is best for me. If there is a gap it will be filled. A company that makes a water testing kit. One that makes a cheaper one. A company that sets up water holding tanks and delivers at a cheaper cost than city water, that is also better quality/includes vitamins etc. Hard work and good old American innovation.
April 11th, 2006 at 3:01 amCongratulations to the poster who found the one accomplishment of the Bush adminisration; 4.7% unemployment rate. You must be so proud. Now before you hurt yourself from all that back slapping, here's the bad news; AN ILLEGAL WAR OF WHICH PRODUCED NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, OSAMI IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL, ILLEGAL WIRE TAPS, COMMITTING TREASON BY REVEALING A CIA AGENT'S IDENTITY, BRIBING REPORTERS TO ENDORSE A POLITICAL AGENDA, REDUCING TAXES AND EASING RESTRICTIONS FOR CORPORATE FATCATS WHILE THEY GET RICH AT OUR EXPENSE, SUBSIDIZING THE OIL INDUSTRY AT A TIME WHEN THERE RECEIVING RECORD PROFITS AND TELLING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WELL BASICALLY F..K YOU WHEN ASKED WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO ABOUT HIGH GAS PRICES. AND WHILE I'M AT, LET'S NOT FORGET TO MENTION, ILLEGAL MONEY LAUNDERING, TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT, THE KATRINA FIASCO AND THE 7 MINUTES HE WENT INTO A COMA ON 9/11.
April 11th, 2006 at 3:32 amYOU KNOW IT'S JUST TOO EASY TO REBUTT A SHITHEAD SUCH AS YOURSELF........STILL FEELING PROUD?
Sorry, but government is BY THE PEOPLE, and while it isn’t perfect, until you can ‘vote’ for the leadership of a company for all those affected by that company - it’s a CRAPPY alternative to government. It’s corporate feudalism at best.
Have you been reading any of the news lately about the FDA? The drug company buy ins? 20% of the FDA budget is paid by drug companies then the excess cost goes into the drug? The members of pharmaceutical companies on the individual commitees?
We will obviously never agree on this one and it has moved much farther off topic then I originally intended. Plus it's real late and I'm falling asleep. We shall meet again in a new topic.

Just cause I had to get something out after your last slam there.
April 11th, 2006 at 4:09 amAll this does is argue for the need for a return to full government control of the FDA,
I'm glad that you trust Bush and friends so much that you think they should have full control over every aspect of your life. It's good to finally hear you say that he is honest and trustworthy and would never mess with your health. I never figured you would imply that Bush would not sell out your health for a buck to big drug companies.

April 11th, 2006 at 4:19 amFrom the Top Tundra
This is because we don't want to get poisoned because the local shops sold us something which has either gone bad, or contains some form of toxin. You do not want cyanide in your food supply do you? (Not a threat, just reducto ad absurdum)
Of course, this is because a lot of drugs are dangerous. Most drugs are actually based off of poisons, and we want to minimise the risk of getting poisoned. This is not reducto ad absurdum, it is common sense. Oh, and the drug industry has a long proud history of selling snake oil.
Not exactly. We don't want our schools to be teaching religion, as religion is not the states responsibility but rather the ambit of the church/temple/schul.
Okay, this may startle you, but water, being something you ingest, actually has a direct impact on life and death. Again it is common sense.
Of course, if you want your doctor to be a doctor just because he says he's a doctor, that is entirely up to you.
Actually, quite a few leftwingers believe it best if we all went onto the German method, which is basically just to regulate how fast cars can be built to go in the first place.
Pretty much really. Quality control standards are not actually an issue you are going to win on, most of them are fairly common sense.
Nope, I actually disagree with the anti-smoking legislation which is on the books in my country, I kind of feel it is a waste of time and an invitation to take the law less seriously. When you have unenforceable laws, the law becomes that much easier to break.
Nope, we want the government just to eliminate telemarketers, they are annoying. They should go after door to door salesmen while they are at it.
We don't advocate cruelty to animals, your point?
Monopolies drive prices up while driving quality down. It isn't so much a case of how large the company is, as to whether anybody with a better product can enter the market and compete with the said company.
Again, quality control issues aren't exactly issues of hot debate. Most are based on common sense, such as having enough water to go around.
You can always get more the the government minimum, oh, and if you are arguing against building regulations, we also want government to inspect buildings in order to make sure we don't buy into one which is about to fall down.
If there is a fire, a smoke detector is handy- it tells you the fire is there.
We don't want our pets to get food poisoning any more then we want to get food poisoning.
Well, we also don't want our house to fall down the first time someone closes a door. Your point being?
Well, their wouldn't be much point to paying taxes if they didn't go anywhere, and not having internal control measures in place would basically be an invitation for any government official to steal. You don't want to see what kind of a mess companies which lack internal controls get themselves into.
We want the government to make sure our boss gives us time off.
Common sense issue: If you drive too long and get sleepy you are about as good on the road as a guy whose just gone on a bender. It is a matter of reducing the number of accidents.
Come to sunny South Africa, take a look at our banks and the various charges they charge simply because they can get away with it, and tell me that banking laws are a bad thing. Heck, study your own history and look into the Great Depression and tell me that banking laws are a bad thing.
This could be a food poisoning issue, or a means of preventing accidents issue. Depends on which way you mean it.
Yeah, ever since we learned that certain paints contain toxins, which can and do cause cancer.
Maybe because we don't want to get incinerated in our sleep?
Well, we don't want our kids to be watching an episode of Sesame street and then have it jump straight into hardcore porn if that's what you mean. We also want the news to at least try to tell the truth, rather then act as the propaganda arm of whoever is paying them.
See above.
Our neighbours don't want our sick cat to get their cat sick, and vice versa.
See telemarketers, its the same issue.
Come to sunny South Africa, and tell me your banking laws are a bad thing.
No, we want government to de-regulate what marriage is.
Nope, we just want the government to give us some.
Again, nope, we just want the government to lend a hand.
Nope, we just want the postal service to do its job. There are plenty of other means of sending a letter.
No, actually that is the job of the specific sport's governing body.
Nope. We want the government to allow people who want to die, to die (in other words, de-regulate.)
That is because the law currently says otherwise, all of these other laws had to be argued in, Bush just went ahead and did it. If he had gotten a warrant, he would have been fine, but he didn't.
Government has its good points, but just like anything else, it bares watching or it gets out of hand.
April 11th, 2006 at 4:27 amI wonder whether Mr. Radio Host has powerful enough scope to detect whether the woman crossing the border is pregnant or not. It would be horrible, if Mr. Host, while fulfilling his patriotic duty, would sent himself to HELL by brutally murdering an innoncent blastocyst.

We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us. No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or we'll kill you.

"Well, shit on that dumbness, George W. Bush does not speak for me or my son or my mother or my friends or the people I respect in this world. We didn't vote for these cheap, greedy little killers who speak for America today -- and we will not vote for them again in 2002. Or 2004. Or ever. 

"Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid rich kids like George Bush? 

"They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are the racists and hate mongers among us -- they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis.

April 11th, 2006 at 9:35 amFer chrissakes. This is obviously incitement to terrorism.

If anyone said on the radio that Iraqis ought to shoot every American who comes over the border from Kuwait, ditto. Where is DHS on this guy? Where is the FBI? I say, to Guantanamo with him. Give him the waterboard. Then we'll find out whether he was joking or not.

****Excellent!!! Many on the "progressive" end of the scale blame ALL social inequalities, ALL environmental catastrophes, ALL greed, crime, neurosis (and on and on ad infinitum) on 1.)capitalism, and 2,) the United States of America.
Capitalism is NOT a perfect econ system - but it is the only system that takes into account the varying and diverse human element. Socialism - whether under the guise of benevolent "progressivism" or corrupt "totalitarianism", forgets the motivation AND talents of the individual. (See: Parisian labour "protests")

Unfortunately for progs, the nation knows terror plots have been broken up and we have not been attacked since 9/11, merciful God. But assuming you are RIGHT (no pun intended!) let's get that censure measure moving along. Come to think about it, after the Dems take back the House and Senate, let's have an impeachment and really sift the truth out.

Comment by mighty aphrodite
Mighty Hypocrite,
April 11th, 2006 at 11:28 amI had never heard of http://www.aztlan.net until a man who describes himself as generally conservative and who used to be an executive in a well-known multi-national company started sending me some of its articles now and then. I was appalled by aztlan's virulent anti-semitism and protested not only to the man who forwarded me the articles but also wrote a letter to aztlan itself to point out some of the many facts it twisted--paritcularly to make Jews look bad. The same semi-retired executive also once forwarded to me and many other people on his mailing list an article by David Duke; I had to tell him that Duke used to head the Ku Klux Klan.
But the truth is most of my liberal friends have never even heard of the aztlan site. So your attempt to link progressives/liberals to one loony group, which is not even leftist but strangely Hispanic-racist, is ludicrous. And if you really do think all liberals/progressives are obligated to protest to aztlan, shouldn't people like yourself be even more obligated to protest to Repugnacan anti-Semites like David Duke and Pat Buchanan, both of whom are certainly more famous, and in Buchanan's case, definitely get more air time than Voz de Aztlan?
He had a point of view, shooting illegal immigrants once a week, and as vile as some of you think that is we must remember he has a right to do so.
This is what pisses me off about both parties' extreme elements. Nearly everyone on here calling for the man to be fired or resign because of his opinion -- one you don't like, therefore, gosh, it, along with him, must go. He's permitted his opinion.
And, by the way, the people which are the subject are illegally crossing an international border . . . emmm, shooting them isn't murder, it's upholding existing law the same as all other industrialized nations do.
If you're all so liberal, compassionate, and open hearted why not open the airports so Mexicans can -- safely -- fly in? No more dying in the desert, no more terrible death by dehydration, no more children dying during river crossings, etc. Why not? I don't get it. What's the double standard for? Billions of dollars spent and public out cry for border security at airports and sea ports but no true secure border with a contiguous country. How is this an argument any of you can put forth let alone bolster?
I'm from the UK, I followed the legal process to get into this country. So should they. Then we'll know, as best we can, who they are, where they are, why they want in, what value they bring to the community and industry.
There is absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever with letting any other national into the US, especially those escaping persecution and/or poverty. But process must be followed. Security must be implemented and enforced, even a child knows this. Once secure, process refined/revised, then realistically address the illegal immigrants in the country which have no doubt put down quasi permanent roots and, hopefully, for the majority of them, are living constructive and contributing lives.
But right now, unless you're on the border, unless you're researching, interviewing and indeed investigating each and every illegal border crosser -- you don't know who the hell they are.
Which is the very same reason you lock your home's front door, right?
April 11th, 2006 at 11:40 amThis is a very big issue here in California and may decide elections both special elections (we have one today), primaries, and the general election in November.
Our Governator, Schwarzenegger, has been trying to play both sides against the middle and not saying anything of substance. He had an op-ed piece in yesterday's Wall Street Journal and one last week in the LAT Times.
I took him to task for what he claimed he did on state issues. If you want to see an interesting article on that, check out the California Progress Report, and the April 3 article in the archives "Why Schwarzenegger is like a deer caught in the headlights on immigration." I also have another piece on where our governor has been in the past and what he's trying to do about that in positioning himself on immigration.
Prop 187, which our state's voters passed in 1994 got the Democrats the Latino vote and has held for years. It is the equivalent of what the Republicans did in 1928 to the Catholics and Al Smith. Catholics were strongly Democratic for the next 50 years.

April 11th, 2006 at 12:50 pm(...)shooting [illegals] isn’t murder, it’s upholding existing law the same as all other industrialized nations do.
Comment by Zoser — April 11, 2006 @ 11:40 am
Shooting someone in an act other than self-defence is murder. Illegal entry to the US is not punishable by death.
If you’re all so liberal, compassionate, and open hearted why not open the airports so Mexicans can — safely — fly in?
Strawman. Nobody is advocating illegal alliens to be allowed in. We are all trying to find a solution that does not involve mass murder.
No more dying in the desert, no more terrible death by dehydration, no more children dying during river crossings, etc. Why not? I don’t get it. What’s the double standard for?
This can also be achieved by upholding actual, existing laws (not the ones you made up): Prosecute those who hire illegal aliens. Fine them.
What double standard are you talking about?
Billions of dollars spent and public out cry for border security at airports and sea ports but no true secure border with a contiguous country. How is this an argument any of you can put forth let alone bolster?
Another strawman.
There is absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever with letting any other national into the US, especially those escaping persecution and/or poverty. But process must be followed.
Process must also be followed in enforcing the law. Wantonly shooting illegal aliens is not part of that process.
April 11th, 2006 at 12:59 pmActually, it is. The Right to Life is a human right, not a national one, and being an illegal alien isn't a capital crime. The actual law on the matter is that shooting them is murder you sick little fuck.

April 11th, 2006 at 1:24 pmEmm, #249, the presumption is A) the person is crossing an international border illegally, and B) he is warned not to continue the physical act but does.
In the majority of industrialized countries -- specific to border infringement/illegal crossings -- if A) and B) are true the likelihood is the person would be shot. And it wouldn't be murder.
My point is the radio personality is allowed his opinion, even as radical as it is. Just as you can use the language you did in your post to me.
And no need to call me what you did, it's not my fault you didn't make the debate team because you lose rationale during the very first salvo.
Ps. Hurry up, it's almost 2.30PM EST, your afternoon shift at McDonalds starts soon . . . don't be late. Again. You might get fired and replaced with an illegal worker then you'll be a burden on the social state. lol
April 11th, 2006 at 2:01 pm"Check out http://www.aztlan.net for what the Aztlan movement has planned. I anxiously await progressive outrage over treason…. Comment by mighty aphrodite "
I supposed you missed the part where Aztlan sounds just like Zionism? Create a homeland through legal and illegal immigration - it's right out of David Ben-Gurion's play book you know.
No wonder you're so scared of these guys - it worked for Israel!
So Mighty Moron, why is ok for zionists to reclaim lands, but not indigenous americans? They both claim historic and religious/sacred rights to the land. And unlike Israel which chronicles it's own STEALING of israel from the phoenicians after the exodus - the native americans appear to be the historic inhabitants of the lands.
So why are you such a hypocrite? Is it ignorance - or stupidity - or BOTH? I say both.

- Comment by Liberal in Love
****Excellent!!! Many on the “progressive†end of the scale blame ALL social inequalities, ALL environmental catastrophes, ALL greed, crime, neurosis (and on and on ad infinitum) on 1.)capitalism, and 2,) the United States of America.
*Well, I think this a a little bit over the top on the first point, but yes, I would agree that some people don't give capitalism a fair hearing and only focus on the negatives. On the second point, I think that a distinction needs to be made between criticizm of the government and criticism of the county. I feel that it's a shame that some on the right characterize those on the left who don't support the Iraq War or other things as unpatriotic. I was against the war because I thought it would be a complete disaster for our country. Unfortunately, the current political climate is nasty, and divisive tactics like this are utilized. You make this point later, and I totally agree with you.
"Capitalism is NOT a perfect econ system - but it is the only system that takes into account the varying and diverse human element. Socialism - whether under the guise of benevolent “progressivism†or corrupt “totalitarianismâ€, forgets the motivation AND talents of the individual. (See: Parisian labour “protestsâ€)"
*I agree with you, capitalism is the best practical system that we have come up with so far. Although I would guess that you disagree judging from your more conservative ideas expressed here (although I could be wrong), I think that we need a lot more regulation of our economy to prevent abuses and to keep the market more open to everybody. I also think that a more even distribution of capital is good for everybody. This is not to say that the distribution of wealth should be perfectly equal - in a perfect world it would be great, but it is naive to think that this is achievable anytime soon, or even possible due to human nature.
"Re: your assertions about NSA wiretaps - let’s back Senator Feingold’s censure “manuver†of the President and see how that turns out. Unfortunately for progs, the nation knows terror plots have been broken up and we have not been attacked since 9/11, merciful God. But assuming you are RIGHT (no pun intended!) let’s get that censure measure moving along. Come to think about it, after the Dems take back the House and Senate, let’s have an impeachment and really sift the truth out."
*Well, I think our president broke the law, and he needs to be held accountable. Some disagree that he broke the law. We need to think these things out carefully.
“I can’t think of anything more patriotic than to stand up for what our founding fathers fought so hard to achieve.†-Liberal in love
*****It’s brave AND patriotic of you to come here!!
*Well, I wouldn't call debating politics with others on a blog brave, but at least it can be interesting, and if we truly listen we can learn a thing or two from each other. I feel that actions are much more important than words. I'm trying to do more in this department.
“You may disagree with me, but don’t call me unpatriotic. Don’t call liberals unpatriotic.†-Liberal in love
*****Many here disagree with me - as I should expect. But having been called a Nazi, a traitor and a colouful assortment of FILTHY names you must know that I can describe the subscribers of the left’s “blame America always†ideology any way I wish. Many of my friends and colleagues are self described “liberals†- but merciful God, NONE of them are in the despicable mode as Noam Chomsky, Gore Vidal or those other great liberal “thinkers†Tim Robbins and Ben Affleck.
*It's a shame that people treat you with contempt simply because they disagree with you. It's really easy to just throw decency to the wind and behave in a dispicable manner due to the anonymity of forums such as these. Debate can and should get intense, but civility should always be observed. I like to think of people who say stupid things like this: just let them speak for themselves. You don't need to say anything, because their speech is incriminating enough as it is. And yes, you may engage in these tactics too, but I would consider rising above the nastiness.
“I don’t know about you, but I believe in standing up for what I is best for this county, regardless of who came up with the idea.†Liberal in love
*****I agree…unfortunately, the ideological divide which has taken place in the United States over the course of the last 30 years, has become more of a game of “gotchaâ€. Sadly, we are in an era where games are foolish - the consequences can be severe and deadly.
*Indeed. I'm glad we agree on these things. I bet we agree on a lot of things actually, although because I'm guessing that you tend to think more conservatively that naturally there would be some major differences on some big points. We need to listen to each other, and work together to reach compromises on these differences. Perhaps more things would get done if our politicians actually did these things, on both sides.
I should probably stop using the handle "liberal and loving it." These labels don't really help us either. Sure I tilt to the left in a major way on the political spectrum, but I am open to any reasonable idea.

Comment by Zoser — April 11, 2006 @ 2:01 pm
The US is not like the "majority of industrialised countries". If you are talking about civilians taking up border control, that is called vigilantism and is (not yet) legal.
If you are talking law enforcement officers, they are usually barred from using lethal force unless there is impending life-threatening danger; an unarmed, tired, dehydrated illegal alien on foot presents no such threat.
Either way, illegal crossing international borders is not punishable by death. Executing someone because of that act would be murder.
And, why stop at the border? Why not shoot the illegal aliens on the spot wherever you find them: At schools, restaurants, hotels, diary farms, tomato fields, high tech industry? Who says illegals only cross from Mexico? How about all those Europeans, Asians who overstay their visas? Should we shoot them too? It wouldn't be murder. Why are you keen on shooting dark people only?

To MIghty Hypocrite,
April 11th, 2006 at 6:20 pmSeveral posters here and myself have already pointed out to you and your partners in reichwing lunacy like I-WRONG-I that we are not Communist or anti-capitalism. For one who claims to be a lawyer, you certainly don't seem to absorb information easily. Give up that little chestnut dear; it is so trite and ineffective.
And incidentally, as to your attempt on another thread to answer my repeated question about why the Bush administration still has not set up any programs to increase the number of intelligent agents competent in Arabic, Farsi, and other languages likely to be spoken by Muslim terrorists 4 1/2 years after 9/11, bringing up fictional Japanese and Iranian volunteers and criticizing a comparison I never made between Japanese and Arab and Persian culture do not make for a defense or reasonable explanation. Having translators/interpreters capable of understanding the messages intercepted from possible terrorists is so basic to the so-called war on terror, yet the Bush administration still hasn't even taken that first step. The fact is, dear, your hero Dumbya is very weak on terror.
If he was serious or not, who cares? He has freedom of speech.
April 11th, 2006 at 7:31 pmI think that the things that this man said on the radio was completely wrong to say in every way.Regardless if it was supposed to be a joke or not or what he said throughout the show it was just completely ignorant.I am the wife of a former illegal immigrant and we have two children,we had to pay lots of dues just to get his greencard,no one understands what the people who come here go through.I have been deep into Mexico and I have seen how people live and I know why they come here they also dream of better lives for their families and for many there is no possibility of it to happen there,maybe that isn't Americas fault but this country was based on immigration,go back through your geneology and unless you are pure 100% native american you were the product of a possible illegal immigrant.The people who come here aren't looking for any handouts but a job,they aren't taking our jobs they are working the jobs that I see Americans turning down,most do pay taxes and medicare and social security without any way to recieve these back ever.Only citizens can recieve medicare or social security,get mad at them but no one is mad at the americans living on disibility that are only pretending to be disabled.Many people just believe what they hear and not what really happens.

#259 - Dear Mrs. Nado - While you are correct that illegal aliens cannot receive Social Security benefits and Medicare, you forgot to explain that ANY child born in the US to illegal alien mothers ARE US citizens, and are qualified for welfare, food stamps, MediCAL, free education, etc. Please come to San Diego and see what a mess the illegal alien situation has created in our schools and hospitals.
Perhaps the protesters at the massive rallies should take some of their pride in being a Mexican to Mexico and attempt to change the vile, corrupt government institutions. I support a guest worker program and LEGAL immigration. We should defend our southern border with the same determination as the Mexican government defends it's southern border with Guatamala - VIGOROUSLY!

You are blinded by Political Correctness. These are illegal immigrants not people looking for a better way fo life. THose who are looking for a better way of life are the ones who got in line and then when they got here, they learned how to speak English and became citizens of the United States. Those who are entering this country are breaking our law and for you to attack this guy because he does not have your viewpoint is cruel and hateful. You are obviously rooting against our country.

You said it yourself the children of the illegal immigrants can recieve because they are citizens
the same right that anyone of us have fairly,you are a lucky one to be born here as am I!I am not saying that their children cant recieve anything if born here.
That isn't what I said I said the illegals are paying for things they cant benefit from and that the government will or others that are citizens.
And breaking the law includes threating a life if he said "I am going to shoot Americans just because they are comitting crimes" he would not be well liked
April 12th, 2006 at 3:31 pmand people are looking for something better just because they come illegal doesn't mean they aren't
If you had to wait for about 6 months to a year to feed a family that was starving, your family, what
extint would you go through,My inlaws were starving and all working in mexico when my husband crossed illegaly and he said he couldn't bare to see them suffer any longer, and it isn't like it is just taking a walk they know the dangers and bad things that can happen to them,would you want to swim a river that is polluted or walk in the desert just listning to all the rattlesnakes all around you just to take advantage of a country for no reason?Go to Mexico the real Mexico and see how people live and you'll better understand go and starve for a week and think what you would do if you had children and had to look at their faces when they are hungry,would you risk your life? Put yourself in their shoes before saying "We just need to shoot them",This is what we all should do,we are all just lucky to be a born citizen of the USA you yourself could have been born a Mexican or of any other country,and your ansestors probably were and the took the chance to come here possibly without standing in any lines or learning our language.
Dear Mrs. Nado - Thank you for your heartfelt and passionate response. May I suggest that those illegal aliens who have adopted the democratic mob mentality take their same concerns and demonstrate down in "real Mexico". You note the right of legal citizen children to social benefits but pleaase explain how the illegal immigrant father of four legal school age citizens BEGINS to pay for their $6800.- per year for their schooling? In addition, their hospital bills were paid for by the government, their food stamps, school lunches, emergency room services and welfare are paid by the government. That does not include the 25% of prisoners in US jails and prisons who are illegal aliens.
Please goole the name Adrian Camancho. A twice deported illegal alien gangbanger and drug addict, Adrian killed rookie Oceanside CA police officer Anthony Zeppetella - leaving a young widow with a 6 month old son. Two weeks ago, in the north San Diego County town of Vista, a 68 year old female business owner was discovered to be missing. Her dead body and car were discovered in Baja.
Taking pride in one's culture is as American as apple pie and enchiladas. But the corrupt Mexican government and the culture which accepts AND expects such corruption is something that needs correction South of the Border. Mexico is a Third World country run by the corrupt drug lords, government, police, and military.

How come no one is refering to the Spanish Only radio stations that are seditious and inciteful?? They DELIBERATELY speak in Spanish so they can inform their people without the average American being able to understand what they're doing (because it's in Spanish). How does everyone think these criminal alien protests were organized?? CRIMINALS in this country PROTESTED EN MASSE and We The People did nothing about it, and didn't even see it coming really, because we don't speak Spanish. Basically, if you're a minority, you can be seditious and racist, but God-fot-f-ing-Bid you're white and want to protect your way of life and Standard of Living. You're simply a racist bigot then. Hypcracy breeds hatred, and I see a new revolution about to happen. Americans are PISSED!!

They think we are idiots! and suck us dry and smile while doing it! Why not think about what the american people think and want for a change, and that is the get these criminals out of our country and pass laws for protecting americans!
June 6th, 2006 at 3:02 amLet the border jumpers stay they actually work. Kick all the lazy ass americans on welfare back to mexico.
November 28th, 2006 at 1:40 amMake is a law to use deadly force as required and then there will be no border crossing problem - create a guest worker program - make sure they pay taxes on everything they get like us all. Everything is good, fair and balanced; I wouldn't dream of sneaking into a country no matter what the cause without getting shot at or thrown in jail for a long time. Everyone needs a reality check.
