Pelosi's characterization of the "xenophobic" and "anti-immigrant" dialogue
on talk radio is well-do***ented. In recent weeks, Media Matters has
highlighted several particularly egregious examples:
- Bill O'Reilly asserted that sup****ters of the immigration bill "hate
America" and "want to flood the country with foreign nationals, unlimited,
unlimited, to change the complexion" of our society.
- Michael Savage called a Hispanic advocacy group, National Council of
La
Raza, "the Ku Klux Klan of the Hispanic people" and said that La Raza "is
the most stone racist group I've ever seen in this country!"
- Neal Boortz argued in favor of the controversial border fence,
stating,
"I don't care if Mexicans pile up against that fence like tumbleweeds in
the
Santa Ana winds in Southern California. . [J]ust run a couple of taco
trucks
up and down the line."
Though conservatives may take up 91 percent of the talk radio airwaves,
talk radio is not representative of the American people, who broadly
sup****ted the key components of the legislation.

Bush only caters to the Haves and Have mores! He has no interest for "We
the People of the United States of America". Or at least not for 98% of
them.
Progressivism IS the People of the United States. At least %81 of them.
The other 19% are usually refered as conservatives, or fascists or Nazi's.
Something like that.
