I read this and couldn't for the life of me figure out how any of these save anyone. Some of them simply make no sense.

9. What about contagious diseases?
Sorry I do think there is a compelling interest to check the health of incoming immigrants. With many contagious diseases out there we do have a right to check the health of people coming from other countries.

2. What about the love letters Mikey wrote to Allen Ginsberg?

and

and this loving nugget

March 8, 1970
Dear Allen:
After speaking to you on the phone about how nice the black-white thing is in mountain villages in Fiji, I walked downstairs to the school courtyard, where a little–known black brother looks at me, takes my hand gently, we do some old–world Lower East Side finger tricks, and he peacefully kisses the back of my hand – I do the same for his hand. I told him about our brief talk, and he says, "I must have felt the vibes."

3. Xenophobia at it's finest.
The most laughable is "eliminate bi-lingual education". Yeah, a permanent self-sustaining welfare state is just what this country needs.

4. Ignorant...
...paranoid, isolationist, elitist, homophobic, racist garbage that plays on people's fears, prejudices, and insecurities.

Of course it makes no sense. That kind of hate mongering never does.

The SOB should never have been hired by MSNBC in the first place and I'm delighted that he was finally fired.

6. points 2,3, and 5, oppose points 6, and 7
"closeing the borders" + "Deport all illegal immigrants" + "Require health tests for all recent foreign born immigrants" = money to pay for these things and more Federal Employees to actually do them.

the man lives in a fantasy world.

7. When I went to Wiener's site the first time, I saw that tripe...
too. It is the usual banter of the RW maniacs.

Perhaps #1 shouold have been: "A mental exam for all that would have a radio or TV show that contains complaining about the 'liberal media', or any phobia that is incendiary and used expressly to foster hate and harm to certain individuals".

Savage, (Wiener), is a loser, he knows it, and refuses to accept the fact he hasn't got a prayer in the real world.

So now the little man is complaining that he was set up by a prank caller, and that is what got him fired from MSNBC. Most of us would realize that if we openly stated that someone should aquire a fatal disease and die, that we would, and should, be held accountable. However, in Wienerworld the is not wrong that can be done if you can outshout your opposition.

If Wiener passes from this earth in the near future, he will be choking on his own ego.

15. Eliminate bilingual education in *all* states? Sorry, no can do
and he oughta know, because as much as it pains me to admit this, Savage Weiner actually lived here :puke: , as a botany student at UH. In fact, it was from here that he famously corresponded with Allen Ginsberg.

Ka 'olelo Hawai'i, the Hawaiian language, has been an official language, alongside English, in Hawai'i since 1978. We actually go further than bilingual education; we have Hawaiian immersion programs here. We actually had to develop standardized tests in Hawaiian because of Bush*'s "No Affluent White Suburban Child Left Behind" act!

But then again, it's not really Hawaiian that Savage Weiner objects to, is it? I think we all know just what language he detests, ?creo que no?

17. 4. Eliminate bilingual education in all states.
Does this mean no more foreign language taught in America? Or is this just about teachers speaking Spanish when teaching new immigrants from south of the border? Is America supposed to be English only even though our "English" is a mixture of many different languages.
