Desperation Fuels Republican Anti-Citizenship Campaign
apart. Now, with the boycott yesterday having been mostly peaceful, affecting many businesses, especially smaller ones throughout the country, Republicans and the wingnuts on the web have ratcheted up the rhetoric. Michelle Malkin is panic central, offering picture after picture of the militants and the smattering of socialists who attend every single march known to man, including the one yesterday. Socialists at a march, shocking! Powerline has a revealing video up, with coverage across the Republican blogsphere hyped up over illegal immigration.
Democrats have a different approach: We want illegal immigrants to have a path towards earned citizenship. It's rational, humane and in keeping with American values over two centuries. Republicans are freaked that if we win this battle, which we will, they'll never have a majority again. Malkin continues her panic message with the canard that we should be afraid of the reconquistas, offering up a snippet of an interview of Ms. Gloria Ramirez Vargas (via translator on NPR's "All Things Considered"): Many Mexicans are nourishing the ground in the U.S., but those lands were once ours. Those same lands, which now with intelligence, with love and with a lot of work, we are re-conquering again for our Mexico. With the topper that there might have been random "violence" during the marches, with the scare tactic that we should be afraid of Che Guevara. Ho-boy.
Republicans continue their campaign of fear and their frothing over reconquista, with Michelle Malkin leading the way. Reconquista? Even Rick Moran brought it up during our Washington Journal debate on C-SPAN. The Republicans are actually afraid the illegal immigrants fighting their way to earned citizenship are going to annex California and parts of the southwest. Their scare tactics are pathological. They see enemies everywhere. These people don't deserve to run the country. Besides, they have no one to blame for the massive protests but themselves.
