The gang over at Fox News must be giddy over the uproar they are causing on Media Matters, Crooks and Liars, Democratic Underground, Rude Pundit, and I am sure many, many other websites that are visited by the Anti Bush, Anti Right Wing Fanatic Crowd.

This is how I look at this classic 'Hannity & Colmes' bait and trap play.

Alan Colmes is the Cheese.
Hannity is the Trap.

The Catch, 'The Rats'. (yes Democrats, those on the other side refer to you as 'Rats)

And boy did they catch a whole bunch of rats with the latest bait put into the trap by Alan Colmes.

Does anyone on this board think that Sean Hannity would be so stupid to blow his career by taking the side of 'White Supremacists'? -
I Don't.

But the Hannity and Colmes show played this one well. There is no evidence (as of now) of this James Gilchrist organizer of the MinuteMen Project being a White Supremacist.

Alan Colmes, is given a script and he follows it, and drops the 'White Supremacist' line into his latest interview. Blogs, Websites, including this one, Go crazy with ridiculous statements, with some going to the extremes of linking these MinuteMen volunteers to 'Timothy McViegh', or to the Scumbag Losers in Texas who dragged a black man to his death a few years ago. Based on what I ask, because they happen to be white?

Sean Hannity must be laughing, because the bait and trap play laid out by their show a few nights ago sucked in 'Crooks and Liars', for they linked to this pile of Bullshit by someone with the tag name 'Rude Pundit' - http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/2005/04/armed-rednecks-at-border-when-group-of.html which in my opinion is a compile of Racist Views against White People.

Alan Colmes also sucked in 'Oliver', who went to the extreme of labeling these minutemen as 'Wingnuts' http://www.oliverwillis.com/node/2279#comment-20021 .
So, as I asked him on his blog, which he has failed to reply to as of yet, 'you consider these Guys as 'Wingnuts', based on what? If a person lived in a neighborhood that was being over run by crime and that person helped create say a 'Block Watch', after making contact with his or her local police precinct, would you label that person and the people who joined that block watch Wingnuts Also? - http://www.oliverwillis.com/node/2279#comment-20138

Then, take a look at some of the views that have been posted over at Media Matters on this story, which I truly believe did not warrant being their top story all day yesterday until about 6pm est - http://mediamatters.org/comments/latest/200504060003 where again you have some pretty crazy statements.

I can only say that many of these idiotic statements will be used against the Right Wing Opposition to Discredit the momentum that is being picked up as the Republican Party's Cheerleaders are all starting to realize they have been double crossed.

So what better way to divide the country again, as to have the Democrat Liberals Defend thousands of Illegal Aliens Crossing the border on a daily basis.

Last Election, the Democratic Party got sucked into being 'Pro Gay Marriage'. I can see it now for the next election 'DEMOCRATS WANT ILLEGAL ALIENS TO TAKE YOUR JOBS AWAY'

WAKE UP - THIS IS A TRAP!

Hey - all of you 'Democrats' - you all listen to Air America, right? Do you not hear what you are hearing or are you missing the news with views from Organized Union Labor on that Network?

Unions have suffered over the years from a variety of issues, including being low balled by outfits that hire non unionized workers, or contractors that have Illegal Aliens working for them.

Unions are all for a decent daily wage, with benefits. They also stand for good paying state jobs. This cannot happen, or be financed properly when you have an infrastructure of weak paying jobs, and that is the ultimate outcome of having thousands of Illegal Aliens willing to work for less than half the price that is needed to be paid to substantiate a decent standard of living.

I have some scenario's, that if followed, could solve this entire problem with Mexicans, South Americans coming in droves to the United States. I have a plan that could really shake up things in the Democratic Party, and if implemented, would bring prosperity to the entire North American Region. But it will take sacrifice, it would take courage, it would take a backbone, and I wonder how many of you out there would be willing to go along with it.

__ADDITION TO ORIGINAL POST BELOW___
****OK DU'ERS WHO WANT TO SEE THE PLAN - HERE IS THE SHORT VERSION..
GET CORPORATE AMERICA TO SET UP MIRROR FACTORIES IN MEXICO that they have now set up in China and DROP CHINA eventually and have the manufacturing of jobs for the Nations Retailers goods made in Mexico. This would create a tremendous amount of jobs, stable jobs for the Mexican economy.

The Trickle Down effect would be a boom for Mexico. This would stop the need for these people leaving their lives to come to the United States to be Exploited.

__END ADDITION TO ORIGINAL POST___

I am going on Vacation for a couple of weeks starting tomorrow. When I get back, I'll see who, if any post to this thread, and in time, I will lay out my idea's that would not just be good for the Country and the entire North American Region. - THIS IS NOW POSTED JUST ABOVE, EDITED, SHORT AND QUICK FOR THOSE WHO SUFFER FROM A.D.D.

To the rest of you out there who are just taking on this knee jerk reaction to damming these people who Alan Climes is attacking, wake up, Alan Climes is a Donkey on a Horse Ranch, and everyonce in a while, he is given the wagon to pull, to bait in the opposition and at the same time, double cross the efforts of the opposition of the Right Wing.
