Adam,

Welcome to Oliver’s world where you get to take an extremist viewpoint and apply it to the rest of the group they claim they are affiliated with.

I think we called that Stereotyping in my Sociology course in High School.

These people aren’t “immigration activists” or representative of the GOP - they’re high school students. It’s an interesting story and worthy of comment, but c’mon.

Whites don’t have that kind of power.

Yeah. They only rule the country and control just about every institution possible. Why shouldn’t they be able to just yell “White Power” to rub it in those inferior brown people’s faces?

Really, if some white guy were standing in front of me snivelling about how he doesn’t have any power because he doesn’t get to beat up someone different from him, I’d punch that weak ass in the face.

“I know, cognitive dissidence.”

I think you meant this. Which, using Oliver Willis logic, means your point is moot.

“Jade, nice article. Doesn’t close to supporting the contention that the Minuteman Project “actively recruits” members of Stormfront.

In fact, it shows just the opposite”

So…. illiterate or just intellectually dishonest.

No wait, I know, cognitive dissidence.

Shorter version of many conservatives’ comments on race:

“I’m not racist, I just can’t ever seem to think of anything I like about non-white culture, politics, or policies related thereto.”

Perhaps you don’t see any recruiting posters around with people in white pointy hats saying “We want YOU”, but when you spout racist rhetoric you are laying out the welcome mat just the same.

Yeah, what Jay said! The good Minutement people just don’t recruit from Stormfront. They just don’t!! OK!! OK!!!

Jade, nice article. Doesn’t close to supporting the contention that the Minuteman Project “actively recruits” members of Stormfront.

In fact, it shows just the opposite and shows why some other crackpot outfit was formed. Thanks for the verification!

Uh, no. They don’t.

Uh, yes. They do.

Strawman?

Was there ever a time when ever Cindy Sheehan spoke she was only speaking for hereself and not the official spokeswoman for all of us dirty-fucking-hippie-dhimmi-moonbat-lefty-traitors?

She’s one person too.

Yeah, you tell ‘em Jay. Our brave Minutemen don’t recruit from Stormfront because they don’t. They just don’t!

Also, there’s nothing racist about anti-immigrationists. There just isn’t! Dhimmis are teh real racists! They just are!

The minutemen, those losers that patrol the border, actively recruit from Stormwatch, a white supremacist website.

Uh, no. They don’t.

And since when did a few high school kids become “anti immigration activists”?

One idiot High School kid says white Power and Oliver gets his panties in a wad.

Whites are the only ones not allowed to say %ethnic group% “Power!”

Whites don’t have that kind of power.

Save your outrage for when the Redskins finish at the bottom of their division.

“I might use it but I prefer to be intellectually honest.”

Your blogs sure does attract ‘em, Oliver. A statement on intellectual honesty followed immediately by two paragraphs of non sequiturs, obfuscation, and intellectual dishonesty.

“Helluva strawman you’ve constructed though.”

Helluva strawman? The minutemen, those losers that patrol the border, actively recruit from Stormwatch, a white supremacist website.

Saying racism is a strong motivation in this debate isn’t a strawman, it’s fact.

“at least one”, eh? That’s a cute trick; I might use it but I prefer to be intellectually honest.

Meanwhile, it wasn’t that long ago that, just as one of the many examples I could provide, Hillary’s co-chair AntonioVillaraigosa led the president of Mexico in the Chicano power handclap on the floor of the California Assembly.

Oddly enough, the press hasn’t highlighted that, or things like another Hillary co-chair snapping to attention when the Mexican anthem plays (youtube.com/watch?v=FgbCB8QlQWw) and all the other incidents, even including the chairman of the CA Democratic Party mouthing eliminationist rhetoric.

Somehow I don’t expect OW to try to figure out why the press would refuse to discuss those incidents involving Democratic politicians, but would choose to highlight something “at least one” highschool student did.
