Glenn Beck is outraged by comparisons to Nazi Germany. Who would do such a thing? Besides Glenn Beck, that is.

Glenn Beck got all worked up yesterday defending Arizonans from the outrageous, slanderous comparisons of their fair new police state to Nazi Germany. Heaven forfend:

Beck: Arizona sure is putting the AZ in Nazi. I really hate to rain on the hate parade, but could we slow down for just a second here and ask: You’re out of your mind? Are you comparing the systematic cold-blooded extermination of millions of Jews, to America making sure people are here legally? The parallels are non-existent.

~snip~

And in case anyone forgot, there have been a lot of comparisons of liberals generally and the Obama administration to Nazis and Germany. Right there on Fox News, a number of times. By a guy named Glenn Beck.

~snip~

2. fair enough, it's stupid to enforce the laws this way though, i think
Edited on Wed Apr-28-10 07:53 PM by miscsoc
a wall is the only sensible solution. it wouldn't be flawless but it would be near enough - i mean, some people might tunnel but not enough to matter. i'm not sure why the wall idea is so hard to get off the drawing board. probably since it would work, and powerful people don't really want it to work.

8. Regardless of how you feel about legal/illegal immigration a wall will NOT work
The proposal for a wall during the Bush administration would have cost more than the Apollo moon mission even after you extrapolated for today's dollars. The costs for sustaining such a wall would be staggering, and STILL wouldn't be effective. Anyone who has spent any length of time around the border and understands the dynamics involved in such an undertaking will tell you it's a stupid fucking idea. If you want to stop illegal immigration, start putting their employers in jail. The solution is really that simple, but it's one that the GOP will never support because the reality is their business interests that control their puppet strings would never allow it. The border fence idea was just a ruse to silence the ignorant masses that are demanding action. If you are trying to stop them at the border, you have already conceded defeat.

6. Government has one obligation and that is to the greater good of the country
but instead they look for more votes and more money from business, Wall Street and others, and every working American pays a price.

Unless pro-immigration lobbyists support a total open border policy where any individual from any nation on earth be permitted to freely enter and reside in the USA, their opposition to border and employer enforcement is total BS. Does anyone actually believe that a massively indebted America in 2010 can really support open borders and citizenship for all and still retain a middle class status for most that includes a good education, health care and retirement security is feasible?

7. Once again you drag the ADL into a topic where its connection is tenuous at best.
Why is that?

11. May I ask you something?
Apparently someone made mention of the ADL in relation to Glen Beck in a post above. I don't know what their comment was because it was deleted.

My question and comment is that the ADL has been alleging for years that Americans who oppose illegal immigration, and do not support amnesty and open borders are haters and racists. Do you think the ADL also harbors these same beliefs when it comes to Israeli policy and how they secure their borders and deal with illegal immigration and request papers please? If not why not?

12. Not my job to explain ADL to you.
Edited on Thu Apr-29-10 06:25 PM by Jim Sagle
What's really interesting is why you bring up ADL or Israel up in nearly every post you make, even though you're not in the I/P folder.

13. But what is really interesting
Edited on Thu Apr-29-10 07:13 PM by howaboutme
is how you wish to deflect the discussion instead of answering or encouraging open honest debate.

Someone else initiated the ADL discussion. I just responded to your response which was I thought a sincere question about the ADL and why they criticize US citizens as being racists and haters for wanting to lawfully close US borders, yet the ADL says nothing about Israel for closing its borders and building their walls and their very aggressive selective immigration policy. You seem to be knowledgeable on the ADL so I would appreciate some understanding on their split philosophy.

Actually I rarely concern myself with Israel or the ADL, but you seem to be truly obsessed and immersed in it. Most of your posts are in the thick of it.

I challenge you to examine all of my 190 posts and tell me what percent had anything to do with Israel or ADL. My guesstimate is 5% at most (10 posts). So I find your statement truly hypocritical that I dwell on this subject. The only thing I dwell on is how the average citizens of the USA are getting screwed royally by Wall Street elite, multi-national corporations, corrupt politicians mostly Republican but some Democratic, and a corporate media that has its own agenda that has nothing to do with keeping the USA honest.
