Amid swine flu outbreak, racism goes viral

[spanone]

misery brings out the best in folks:sarcasm:


“No contact anywhere with an illegal alien!” conservative talk show host Michael Savage advised his U.S. listeners this week on how to avoid the swine flu. “And that starts in the restaurants" where he said, you “don’t know if they wipe their behinds with their hands!”

And Thursday, Boston talk radio host Jay Severin was suspended after calling Mexican immigrants "criminalians" during a discussion of swine flu and saying that emergency rooms had become "essentially condos for Mexicans."

That’s tepid compared to some of the xenophobic reactions spreading like an emerging virus across the Internet. “This disgusting blight is because MEXICANS ARE PIGS!” an anonymous poster ranted on the “prison planet” forum, part of radio host and columnist Alex Jones’ Web site.

There is even talk of conspiracy. Savage speculated that terrorists are using Mexican immigrants as walking germ warfare weapons. “It would be easy,” he said, “to bring an altered virus into Mexico, put it in the general population, and have them march across the border.”

2. What a butthole!

As far as I can determine, not a single case of this flu can be attributed to an illegal immigrant. And yet, Savage savages them. Fuck him!

4. Radio's cheap. And the morans have an audience,

so the advertisers buy in. It's simple. If you can get ads, you can have a radio show.

5. The racism is always there. It just latches on to new vehicles.

The NAFTA Flu is just their latest vehicle that they will try to drive recklessly.
