Massive walkout on Jim Gilchrist silences Minuteman debate
Source: OCRegister

LONG BEACH – About 150 people walked out in the middle of an immigration debate at California State University, Long Beach, featuring Minuteman co-founder Jim Gilchrist this afternoon and joined a rally "against hate" on the campus green in protest of the Aliso Viejo resident's presence at the school.

The Conservative Student Union invited Gilchrist and Enrique Morones, a San Diego immigrant rights advocate and member of the Border Angels – a group that aids people crossing the U.S.-Mexican border -- to debate. Morones, who was scheduled to speak first, told the audience the rules of the debate had been changed on him, pointing out that the moderator was not impartial but a friend of Gilchrist's.

Morones then called for the students to walk out and three-quarters of the audience left.

2. The reality is that the hate has always been there.....
The hate has been cultivated and nurtured by the Neocon Cabal....their neocon followers have been waiting for the moment when they could speak their minds and show their true feelings. The bad news a lot of people will continue to be shocked at the hatred that's poisening America right now..

The good news is Americans know the truth about * and his neocon taliban....and America is finally ready to do something about it..better late than never.

6. All this anger against Mexicans is all misplaced.
Our real enemy is The Amish.



By refusing to participate in American consumerism, they're hurting the economy, costing us jobs, and helping the terrorists win.

Remember what Bush said after 9/11?

If we don't go shopping and visit Disney World, then the terrorists win!

When was the last time YOU saw Amish on an airplane, flying home from Disney World with a suitcase full of crap made in Chinese sweatshops?

UN-AMERICAN!

And the good news is, we COULD beat The Amish.

1) They're pacifists. They don't believe in violence or fighting back. How un-American is THAT?

2) They don't use most technology, including The Internet. We could spend weeks organizing an assault on The Amish, and they'd never see it coming.

Are you with me, people!

Let's kick their butter-churning asses back to the stone age!





The Time Has Come To Stop The Amish Menace!

4. An interesting trap if 3/4 of the audience walked out on Gilchrist. He deserved what happened. n/t
