Swine Flu & Racism: “Responsible members of the Republican Party need to speak out IMMEDIATELY against the conservative commentators in their own ranks using swine flu as an excuse to spew out racist hatred. Radio, TV and newspaper personalities have jumped on the illness as a platform to attack ‘illegal aliens’ for being responsible for carrying the disease across the Mexican border and infecting innocent Americans.”
Editorial Comment: We got a vaccine for that?

This kind of situation is ripe for hysteria in our 24/7 news cycles. How many people die of "regular" flu every month in this country? Hundreds and hundreds. Yes, racist rants about "illegal immigrants" and "innocent Americans" are reprehensible, but the MSM needs to get a grip as well.
ReplyDeleteGood point, Anonymous. Not surprisingly, Jon Stewart nails the MSM clowns for what they are...infotainers posing as "journalists". I include the Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson, Katie Couric, et.al in that crowd. I expect it from FOX Noise.
ReplyDeleteOne more comment. Thanks to Fox Noise, Swine have a voice of their own.
ReplyDeleteOr Bob, for that matter. ---^
ReplyDeletePease- my mom in Texas called me yesterday completely worried about the flu. Every 5 minutes there was a news update, including one about the closing of Fort Worth schools! (10 min. from my house). I'm going home to that this weekend...
