Conservatives Just Hate Immigrants Because They’re Not White

Published June 1, 2007 in Immigration.

So says the conservative Wall Street Journal as the rest of us watch the conservative crackup from courtside seats.

And I love that the lone black man and woman are off in the corners of the WSJ editorial board meeting video, not saying a word.

If you’re gonna grievance-monger, at least be accurate about it.

First, the “lone black man” is Jason Riley, a senior editorial writer, and he does, in fact, speak in the video. Not that you care who he is or what he does beyond his utility as a political statistic.

The woman in the background looks to be one of at least four on the WSJ editorial board. In fact, 40 percent of the WSJ editorial board is female as compared to only 33 percent of the NYT editorial board (6 of 18).

And, if you’d like to do a rough female/minority percentage for each, it looks like the WSJ comes to 50 percent female/minority, and the NYT clocks in at only about 39 percent. Sad day for the liberal editorial page.
Of course, you may wanna check that for me. You guys are the race/gender bean-counting experts, after all!

Why the heck do I care about the NYT’s editorial page makeup?

I didn’t see Riley speak and he certainly wasn’t in the main mix, like most black cons he’s window dressing for the bosses.

This isn’t Townhall where that kind of nonsense is accepted as fact.

I don’t know whether he speaks on the video, but Riley is the author of at least one WSJ smear piece. BTW: those are designed to enable massive immigration to the U.S., something that many “liberals” try to enable as well. Odd.

Um shouldn’t you be giving the WSJ some credit on this? They are standing up for illegals and taking a lot of heat from the right.

Oliver, it looks like even your sycophants aren’t falling for the “all Republicans are racists” mantra anymore.
