Straight from the campaign trail, here's today's Bigotry Moment!

[KamaAina]

Meet Dean Allen. He's working with the campaign of Buddy Witherspoon, who'll be challenging Sen. Lindsey Graham in the repuke primary next year. Witherspoon's (and Allen's) red-meat issue: immigration. No surprise: they're agin it. Exactly how much agin it, however, may shock you:

Dean Allen, a plump and friendly fellow sporting an American-flag tie, told me that he runs something called Spirit of Liberty; he's also helping Witherspoon's campaign. "Some of these people may be coming in here to get jobs washing dishes, but some of them are coming in here to hijack airplanes," he explained. "If you're down there trying to look at the people coming across the border, maybe a lot of them are just motivated by economics, and they want a job washing dishes or cutting grass. But I can't tell Jose Cuervo from the Al Qaeda operatives by looking at them, because they cut their beard off. It’s like trying to get fly manure out of pepper without your glasses on, you know? I mean, not a racist thing, but they're all brown with black hair and they don't speak English and I don't speak Arabic or Spanish, so if they don't belong here and they don't come here legally, I want to know who's here." He echoed McCain's observation that the anti-immigrant feeling is strongest in states with new Hispanic populations. "The illegal Hispanic population, it's definitely growing," he said. "I can tell you just from how many you see when you walk in Wal-Mart, and you drive down the street and you see buildings now with writing in Spanish that says 'tienda,' which is Mexican for 'store.' You didn't see that even a year or two ago."

But, but, but hijacking airplanes pays so much better than washing dishes! And think of the benefits! With seventy-two virgins, who gives a crap about health insurance? :sarcasm:

I would've thought Jose Cuervo was doing pretty well in the tequila biz. I can't quite see what would motivate him to cross the border... I'm thinking Mr. Allen, if that is his real name, needs to bear down a little harder on getting that fly manure out of his pepper. Criminetly! :eyes:

And from our Delicious Irony Dept., we bring you this little gem:

After speaking for forty-five minutes, Witherspoon walked across the street with me to Tako Sushi and we sat outside, where heat lamps warmed us.

Let me see if I've got this straight. This mook goes off on a 45-minute rant about them goldanged illegals and how they're a-ruinin' this here country, then he walks across the street for sushi?! :rofl: I guess some dang-blasted furriners are more illegal than others...

Oh, did I forget to mention that Witherspoon is a Repuke National Committeeman? :eyes:

edit: thought, how

1. I love it when someone asks me if I speak "Mexican"

I respond with "do you speak Redneck?" they usually shut their ignorant asses up real quick. Hasn't happened in a while.
