The statement about you and your mis-translation of it were pretty straightforward. His view of Limbaugh doesn’t really change that.

I’ll stop calling you racist and just call you homophobic instead.

You can’t do that either because I’ve reformed. http://www.oliverwillis.com/2009/03/11/racist-texas-shakedown/#comment-142288

Muffin Michael Over There helped me to see the error of my ways and now I totally love Teh Gayness. I’ve got like three Gwen Stefani songs on my Most Played list now! I even unblocked Bravo! from my cable box where it was previously blocked so I didn’t accidently scroll through it while watching TV because I was so very, very homophobic and I didn’t want to take a chance that any of the cable TV Teh Gayness might rub off on me.

I guess I could see how you’d have missed my reformation, I mean, it was in the same post where, for the second time, I said you were saying I was a racist for something I never said. You did seem to have some sort of selective blindness when it came to things like that.

It doesn’t seem very progressive of you insist on calling me a homophobe after my very honest and real epiphany and how I’ve changed my life since then. That unwelcoming attitude doesn’t really encourge others to make the same choice. Although if it will help you to calm down and maybe stop being so angry all the time, go ahead and call me a homophobe.

CSS’s Translation: ‘There is no racism, only white guilt.’

Sean D. Martin: “No, it isn’t one or the other. One can say ‘This person’s attitude is a result of their white guilt’ without in any way saying racism doesn’t exist; it isn’t a mutually exclusive situation, although I can see why you’d want to declare it so.”

Context. You have to look at the context.

Dennis refuses to admit Rush Limbaugh is racist, going so far as to say a respected magazines are making up quotes about him.

Two points…

1.) Damn. I thought it was in the same thread. It does narrow the search, on the other hand. (Found it.)

2.) Good link though. That’s the thread where you proved you were homophobic.

…

Well fuck me. It was Amused Observer, not you. I apologize.

I’ll stop calling you racist and just call you homophobic instead.

Dennis the Bigot: “The only thing that’s amazing is that no one making the claim, and nearly everyone here who doesn’t share your political views has been charged with it, is able to cite even one example.”

Yes we have. Your little anti-Semitic outburst is a perfect example.

Of course when we bring that up, you say, ‘Give a second example.’

CSS’s Translation: ‘There is no racism, only white guilt.’

No, it isn’t one or the other. One can say “This person’s attitude is a result of their white guilt” without in any way saying racism doesn’t exist; it isn’t a mutually exclusive situation, although I can see why you’d want to declare it so.

I look at industrialized countries like Japan and Germany and see their nationalized healthcare plans as national ASSETS that STRENGTHENED those nations.

Ironically, those countries national healthcare plans also reduce the total GDP spent on healthcare compared to the massive amount of GDP spent on healthcare in the US.

National healthcare reduces healthcare costs and provides better overall outcomes.

As for “healthcare for illegal immigrants,” I can certainly understand why that’s offensive.

But if an undocumented immigrant without healthcare in Phoenix thought they had a case of the swine flu would you rather them feel comfortable going to see a healthcare professional for “free” or rather them hide in the shadows, but still contagious?

We’d both rather that the illegal employers were thrown in jail and solve the problem immediately, but that still doesn’t have enough political support to happen. In the meantime, I’d rather undocumented immigrants feel willing to show up at the hospital if they had some contagious disease.

As for Gleen being Glenn, thanks, I didn’t catch that. I don’t know anything about Glenn playing at sock puppets, is there an impartial link to support that?

But speaking of Glenn and drug decriminalization he did a fascinating report for CATO discussing Portugal’s drug decriminalization and it’s success in reducing drug problems.

Whatever might be said against Greenwald, he’s been uncompromising in his attacks on Obama’s deference to Bush’s lawlessness.

The types of “law-breaking” that I feel need to be prosecuted are Bush’s unlawful surveillance, torture war crimes, and even Bush’s corporate giveaways.

Those are far more serious “crimes” than any undocumented immigrant looking for a job and willing to work.

Clearly a lot of people disagree.

I honestly have no idea what “gleen” is.

I think he means Glen Greenwald. Another blogger busted Greenwald using a sock puppet in his own comments.

this is (the associated costs of healthcare preventing someone from seeking treatment for a communicable disease or virus) ironically an argument for affordable healthcare…

But it’s not just the cost of the doctor’s visit itself. Taking yourself, or your child, is lost wages at work. There might also be childcare expenses involved for other children in the household. Sure, you could go ahead and require all employers to offer paid sick leave for parents and their children, but that just makes it less likely that employers will want to hire people with children. This in turn increases the number of people who need the government to meet their basic needs. And we’ll even ignore the possible costs of behavior that comes from “free” healthcare and guaranteed paid time off.

This might come as a shock to some (I know Quaker in the Basement {I think is was him} was quite surprised to find that I was in favor of Mexican trucks on US roads as part of NAFTA) but I think we need to have a very open and welcoming immigration policy. But sweet merciful jeebus, people entering this country need to be doing so legally. I’m sorry, but healthcare for illegal immigrants, and driver’s licenses, and all the benefits of legal residence really should be reserved for those residing here legally. Honestly, it sucks that there are people who prey on illegal immigrants and they fear coming forward because of their status (I live in Phoenix, I’m very aware of the crimes committed against illegal aliens), but the solution to that problem isn’t to just ignore their law-breaking any more than the solution to violence against drug-dealers is to ignore their crime (For the record I’m for drug legalization, but this is the best example I could think of).

And again, the solution to undocumented immigrants is to throw their illegal employers in jail.

It really is that simple.

Yes it is, and I wish more employers who knowingly hire (or look the other way to ID theft) illegal immigrants were facing jail time and serious fines. However there is no reason why you can’t throw the employer in jail while also sending the illegal immigrant back home. And none of that requires granting them many of the benefits of legal residence.

You, that is you CSS, back in March, claimed that was a racist because I made a comment somewhere about people being worried because of minorities moving into their neighborhood. You made that comment here:

http://www.oliverwillis.com/2009/03/03/barack-obama-main-street-president/#comment-140164

My very next comment to you was “What?” and then saying I have never talked about that subject. I have since asked you twice to show me where I have ever said anything like that.

I’m going to type the real slowly for you.

When have I ever said the comment you claimed I have said.

Then how do you know I made this attack? You’ve accused me of this in the past. If you don’t remember the discussion, what makes you think I made the attack in the first place?

This is what makes me wonder if you have some sort of learning problem or retardation. I knew you made the claim. I have no idea why you made the claim though since I have not written what you said I did. I’ve provided you the link where you called me a racist. Now back it up. Show where I actually wrote what you claimed I did.

The biggest promoters of the “Jews are acting just like Nazis” are the anti-Israeli terrorists and terrorist nations. The Palestinians are routinely trying to appropriate the language, history, and experiences of the Jews to push their “victim” status. There are dozens of web sites documenting it — just for one example, look at what’s happened to the Temple Mount (the holiest site in the world for Jews) over the last 40 years.

And you’re using Gleen (king of the sock puppets) as your source? Good lord… well, I guess it’s something that he’s using his own name, and not making up new names and identities to plug himself and attack his critics.

Black’s Law Dictionary literally defines AMNESTY with: “the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act provided amnesty for undocumented aliens already present in the country”.

REPUBLICAN RONALD REAGAN SIGNED THE LEGISLATION THAT LITERALLY DEFINES “AMNESTY.”

That’s some serious News Reference.
lol

Republican Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to millions of undocumented immigrants.

But right wingers sure don’t let the facts interfere with their fictions.

Then why is it riddled with genocidal racists who advocate war crimes?

That’s not a ‘talking point,’ that came from actually reading the website and reading what it’s editors have said.

Commentary Magazine writers really do write like a bunch of Stormfront writers.

Though it is telling that you’d make the anti-Semitic, racist connection between my comments and Arabs.

Why do you hate Semites, Jay Tea?

So it seems only logical that whatever bill Ted Kennedy backs, it’s probably the worst one.

J.

The only thing that’s amazing is that no one making the claim, and nearly everyone here who doesn’t share your political views has been charged with it, is able to cite even one example.

There is nothing amazing about being called a racist at this site. If there is any mid-tier blogger out there who makes specious claims of racism at the drop of a hat more than Oliver does, I’m unaware of it. So it’s only logical that he would attract freaks such as yourself, Strowbridge, who would delight in doing the same.

Only you make everyone else here, including Oliver, quite mild by comparison.

God, I thought you were worthless before.

SFC B, this is a ironically an argument for affordable healthcare (universal, single payer has a nice ring to it).

It’s also part of the argument amongst law enforcement professionals. When you make an undocumented immigrant an “illegal alien” it creates an entire underground which avoids all contacts with not only health professionals but also law enforcement Officers.

In some of the states with a large number of undocumented immigrants, getting them to come forward in cases of illegal activity is almost impossible unless there is a kind of ‘open door’ policy that won’t have them, their entire family, and all of their friends suddenly being chased down and deported if the want to step up and report a crime.

It’s part of the auto ‘license’ debate as well. If I get in an accident with an undocumented immigrant, are they going to run for fear of being deported? If having a license means they’ll stay and do the right thing, well, give them a license to keep track of them.

And again, the solution to undocumented immigrants is to throw their illegal employers in jail.

It really is that simple.

By the way, Democratic President Clinton had a much better record on immigration enforcement throughout his Presidency.

Republican President Bush ignored undocumented immigrants until 2007, that’s when the the Republican base started throwing a fit that Bush had a worse immigration enforcement record than Clinton.

And keep in mind that ‘amnesty’ for undocumented immigrants was done under Republican Ronald Reagan’s administration.

Funny how that’s never mentioned by those that idolize Reagan.

It’s amazing how so many people here call you racist. Yet you are completely innocent of the charge, right? It must be tough being persecuted like that.
