Groups burn Mexican flags in Arizona
Edited on Mon Apr-10-06 08:23 PM by noahmijo
I am posting this because I am willing to bet the rest of the country is oblivious to this. Look at these inbred bastards. It's not the burning of the flag of my mother that bothers me. It's a piece of cloth.

It's the fact that these fuckers dare to call themselves "Nativists" (Know-Nothing Party throwback term) and what's more are chickenshit cowards who don't even have the balls to say that they hate Mexicans instead hiding behind the guise of "Oh but we like Mexicans it's the government we are protesting"

Yea okay Cletus if I burned the American flag in front of your cousin fucking ass and said it's just cause I hate Bush would you be tolerant of me doing that?

If I was there I would've told these people to say it on tv that they will boycott all grocery stores and fast food joints since every single piece of fruit or vegetable sold here in Southern Arizona is picked by the hands of illegals. Would they stop shopping at Wal-Mart in the name of patriotism?

Somehow I doubt it.

Oh well, their pathetic little group has what 15 people? we had thousands today downtown, and when they find these bastards who think they can provoke us like this getting mercilessly beaten down I hope the ambulances coming for them are held up in traffic for hours.

2. Did their sheets catch fire?
Or, were they wearing the more stylish Brownshirts and swastikas?

Si, se puede!

3. This is just wrong - but unfortunately 38% of the country agrees with it
This is something lunatics in other countries do - not Americans. You just don't defile another country's flag. What an example they're setting. These same goons go apeshit if the Stars-and-Stripes get burned ANYWHERE, so what the fuck are these idiots thinking ??

4. If someone burned the American flag in front of me...
I would thank them, with a smile, for expressing the right to free speech that so many service people (including non-citizens from mexico, Puerto Rico, Guam, etc.) fought and yes, died to guarentee.

Regardless of what they call themselves, do they not have the right to express their opinion on any given subject, much the way that hundreds of thousands did today? Without their right to do that, you would have no right to do the same.

As far as the ambulance statement goes, remember that your right to free speech ends at the tip of the other guys nose.

Just an observation.

5. Well you didn't observe the first thing I said
The flag burning aspect of it is not what set me off.

It's the fact that these people dare to call themselves nativists and completely represent what is WRONG with America today.

Hey they have the right to be assholes and they have the right to call me a spick sure.

And I have the right to respond in such a way that even their wife/cousin will fucking cry.

11. Nativists?
Does that mean that they want to give the country back to the Native Americans? I suppose that in the Southwest United States that would also mean they want to give it back to the Mexicans as well ans the Native Americans.

7. And they are proving what with this?
Edited on Mon Apr-10-06 08:36 PM by Cleita
Oh, I know, they are proving what cretin assholes they are. However, I do agree with the free speech angle of it.

8. Dozens? Thats the best they can do? 500,000 in Dallas pro immigrant,
Largest public march ever in Texas, in support of immigrants rights.

I would say the flag burning dozens are a bit out numbered.

9. Disgusting, but not surprising...notice in the story that there were
"dozens" of counter protesters. How stupid they must have looked.

I'm humbled by the marches I've seen by immigrants in this country. It is wonderful to see their peaceful statement demanding human rights and respectful treatment in this country. They are human beings who want a better life for their families and themselves. Is not that what EVERY immigrant who ever came to this country wants?
