Bush vs. The Base

He just can’t bring himself to condemn the right-wing base’s hate of Hispanics (case in point, Michelle Malkin).

President Bush generally favors plans to give millions of illegal immigrants a chance at U.S. citizenship without leaving the country, but does not want to be more publicly supportive because of opposition among conservative House Republicans, according to senators who attended a recent White House meeting.

The Seal Is Complete.

Racists Get Behind Immigration Issue

Who have the right flank of the RNC locked arms with?

Extremists Declare ‘Open Season’ on Immigrants: Hispanics Target of Incitement and Violence takes a detailed look at how white supremacists, racist skinheads and others identifying with far-right extremist groups are using the national debate over immigration reform as a means to encourage likeminded racists to speak out, or even commit violent acts against immigrants. The full report was issued today at a special session at the ADL Shana Amy Glass National Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C.

“It is time to shine the spotlight on those who have seized upon the immigration debate as an opportunity to advance their agenda of hate, bigotry and white supremacy,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. “This report reminds us that there is a direct connection between the national policy debate and the atmosphere surrounding the daily lives of immigrants. Extremist groups are seeking to exploit the flow of foreign workers into this country to spread a message of xenophobia, to promote hateful stereotypes and to incite bigotry and violence against Hispanics, regardless of their status as citizens.”

The extreme fringe of the anti-immigration movement includes white supremacist groups, anti-Hispanic hate groups masquerading as immigration reform groups, and vigilante border patrol groups who have conducted armed patrols along the borders of the United States.

Snow The Pacifier

I just started reading Eric Boehlert’s “Lapdogs: How the Press Rolled Over for Bush” (sent to me by the publisher), which comes at an interesting time as Tony Snow makes the lateral shift from Fox News over to the White House. The overwhelming thought is that Snow is there to “fight back” against the press somehow, but in fact I think the danger is in Snow basically chatting it up with his friends. It was bad enough the way that the odiously lying Scott McClellan was called “honest” by members of the press corps (John Roberts of CNN and Dana Milbank of the Washington Post), what now when it’s one of them up there? Carl Cameron will always be a joke, but they’re going to have add whipped cream to his softballs now that his former Fox pal Snow is up at the podium.

Steele’s Oreo Fabrications Continue

Alan Colmes confronted Michael Steele about his made up story of having Oreo cookies thrown at him. It’s been downgraded from pelting to a cookie or two on the ground. What a joke.

Donald Rumsfeld makes a trip to the scene of the crime.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld sought to show U.S. support for Iraq’s new leadership on Wednesday, making a surprise visit to Baghdad just days after Shi’ite politician Jawad al-Maliki was chosen as prime minister.

Rumsfeld swooped into the capital aboard a military cargo plane for his first visit to Iraq in 2006.

Wonder if he went in to personally supervise any torture sessions?

Is apparently going so well that Osama Bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi have enough leisure time while “on the run” to record audio and video tapes.
