Ha ha ha! Pat Buchanan just said Obama is reaching out to illegal immigrants with
his "Yes We Can" phrase.

Rachel Maddow was pointing out that Yes We Can is "Si se puede." She continued to make several more points in rapid succession while on split screen Buchanan looked dizzy trying to keep up with her thinking. He then said Si se puede is the slogan of illegal immigrants and Obama was reaching out to them. Rachel corrected him and said it was the slogan of organized labor and migrant farmworkers (I think I got it right).

These dumbass white pigs just crack me up. Too bad they're taken seriously rather than as the clowns that they are.

4. Since when are illegal immigrants allowed to vote?
Pat's not even trying to hide his bigotry anymore. Why MSNBC has him on is beyond me.

5. Pat Buchanan is an idiot.
"dumbass white pigs"
That is racist. Leave
their race out of the
slurs.

8. Sorry, you're right, but are there any hardcore anti-illegal immigrants who aren't white?
btw, I'm white.

11. ? - that is a union slogan - but all unions use it
http://matthewyglesias.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/01/thats_spanish_for_endorse_me_i.php

Barack Obama's new refrain "yes we can" just so happens to be an English translation of the "si se puede" chant one might associate with a crucial union in Nevada.

12. Um...he's agreeing with Rachel, not with Buchanan. Yglesias is saying
it's a chant associated with a certain union in Nevada, as Rachel did. Illegal immigrants are not unionized (and they don't vote either, even though the repugs think those sneaky Mexicans turn out in overwhelming numbers).

15. The look on Rachel's face was priceless. She reminded me
of Stan listening to some stupid thing Cartman's spewing. Yes, I jump generations. The whole MSNBC bunch was so horrendously biased and full of crap that I hope Rachel finds somewhere else to go. Howard Fineman just did a rude put down on Katrina Vanden Heuvel. I can honestly say that tonight was one of the worst nights for the MSNBC crowd I have ever seen. God, I might have to switch over to the Wolfster.

16. "Si, se puede" has also been adopted by illegals
Signs to that effect are often seen at any protest where illegals vs. closed-border advocates collide.

17. I thought that might be true. But unlike Pat, I don't think Obama was making a pitch for the illegal
immigrant vote.
