Glen Beck on Headline News whining
about the Border Patrol disclosing the location of the minutemen. Typical right winger who's for spying on everyone except conservatives. Any predictions on when they pull the plug on this retard?

1. What is he going to say when the Minutemen kill someone...
maybe even a child or woman.

I think the Border Patrol did the right thing....think about it...if Mexican citizens cross the border (granted it is illegal) and they get killed....this could create and escalate tensions between the US and Mexico....

Mexicans crossing are not terrorist but they may get vindictive if family members get killed....I am just saying....it's bad...

2. Um, BTW, why are they disclosing their location?
To warn border crossers? :shrug:

3. If I heard correctly,
they're disclosing the location to the Mexican government.

5. Are these minutemen shooting people crossing the border?
I don't get it.

17. They've shown pictures of the minutemen
with guns in hand, including this episode of Glenn Beck.

18. But that doesn't mean they will start shooting
Unless Dick Cheney is out there with them... you are making a pretty big assumption.

My neighbor has a good sized gun collection. He doesn't go out shooting everything that moves.

See if the minutemen have no intention of shooting the border crossers.

15. Perfect. Vigilante ignorami at the border.
Just knowing they might be there probably prevents a lot of crossings.

11. If they're not doing anything wrong, they shouldn't mind being watched!
Isn't that the right-wing mantra about domestic "spying"?

13. Yep, that's the mantra.
I had a phone call from the M.E. cut off the other night.

We'd drifted into a discussion about beheadings. I always give a shout-out to the NSA.

4. You are acting like disclosing the location is a good thing
Why is it a good thing? Explain that to me please. You must be one of those people that support slave labor.

6. No, I believe
Edited on Wed May-10-06 08:51 PM by muntrv
that the focus should be on punishing employers who hire illegals. Once Mexicans got word that American employers won't hire them, the number of border crossings would diminish.

Furthermore, why should I support the minutemen when their ranks include members of white supremacists organizations?

7. It needs to stop, not diminish
Why are we awarding an illegal activity? Anyone that crosses into America illegally is a criminal. You have no right to cross into another nation without permission. That is international law. No country in the world allows you to do that.

The border needs to be secured, AND we also need to pass laws that punish corporations for hiring illegal aliens.

Whoever supports this "open-border" bulls--- is just as insane as Bush.

9. They wouldn't be crossing the border if employers
did not hire them.

16. Pull the plug?
Never.

They love this ass faced clown! They bill him as "no nonsense" instead of "no sense", though. Maybe a truth in advertising action should be considered. :)
