The Descent of Tom Harman, part II of V: Re-birth as an Immigrant Basher

Vern Nelson posted this in Fresh Juice on June 10th, 2008

In the first Naked Gun film, Lieutenant Frank Drebin, having found it necessary to impersonate an umpire in a major league baseball game in order to prevent an assassination, finds himself at a loss what to do when the batter swings and misses. After a long, uncomfortable silence, feeling a thousand expectant eyes fixed upon him, he finally stammers, hesitantly, “…Strike one?” And the crowd erupts into cheers.

 Immediately Drebin is transformed by the crowd’s approval into a super-umpire. Forgetting all about the assassination, he begins shouting and singing out calls with dance moves and acrobatics, driving the delighted fans to a frenzy: “STEERIIIIKE TWOOO!!!” There is no middle ground or gradual change as there would be for you or I; the public’s roaring approbation transfigures him in a second from mute uncertainty to no-hold-barred showmanship, wallowing in the fans’ adulation for the rest of the game.

It was just like that for Senator Tom Harman when he first discovered the awesome crowd-pleasing power of anti-immigrant rhetoric in mid-2006…

    is he a immigrant basher . or a ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT BASHER . there is a big difference betwen the two . =right from the la raza playbook never use the word ILLEGAL . = because just like their sayings NO ONE IS ILLEGAL .

    Natch Grate One didn’t get past the title, let alone click to read the rest of the article, or he would have got to:

    Although figures like the new Harman insist their opposition is only to illegal immigration, it’s easy to see that he really is, as moderate Republican Congressional candidate Ron St. John observes of his immigrant-bashing opponent Dana Rohrabacher, an “opponent to any immigration, who’s in the ‘enforcement-only’ camp, treating the 12 million undocumented workers here as an invading army and offering a militaristic solution that would depopulate the country.”

    Thanks for reading the Orange Juice and driving up our numbers, you predictable illiterate malignant oaf.

    Mr. Great One,

    Before you throw out your next insult and attack at the next group you hate, learn to write correctly in English. Did you not learn to capitalize the first letter of every sentence? Your lack of understanding of simple rules of the English language demonstrates the lack of education many people with prejudices have.

    I’m guessing you picked the moniker Great One yourself. Well, nice insults.

    Vern, way to go. Another great post. I agree Harman seems to have changed. I thought it was the Senate but it’s anyone’s guess isn’t it?

    Grammar not grammer, you do your cause a disservice. Send someone with an education to argue your points, not-so-great-one.

    great one,

    Okay, I get that you’re attempting to be a Spoof, but your point I have yet to discern. Even the most intellecutally bereft individual could link words together more aptly than you, so are you purposefully trying to disguise your identity and educational achievements? Either that, or you’re texting on a phone with really TINY keys … Pray tell, what is the deal? What are you trying to accomplish other than decimating the English language?

    GO:
    With your obvious hatred about Mexicans, do you know that there is lot of legal immigration from Mexico?
    Guess not…
    And Mr. Rohrabacher is known to be against all immigration. His opposition to the H-1B program is well known. Granted, he is not as bad as the complete idiot Tankredo, but he is bad enough.

    Oh, and before you start accusing me of being leftist or whatever, I *am* a legal immigrant (sequence: H-1B, Greencard, citizenship.) I know what I talk about. You obviously do not.

    hey joe i am against ILLEGALS . and since most of them come from mexico its a fact not fiction . i dont hate mexicans that thats a line you guys use to try and win your arguments. look at the sayings no one is illegal , racist , all the other crap your side writes . we have to have our borders protected . come here the legal way . get in line like everyone else . and i got no problem with that . what ever color you are ..

    GO:
    As I predicted, you continue you use the “your side” BS.
    That shows that you are racist right there.

    But anyway, how instead of whining about “protecting the border” making it easier to immigrate legally? How about asking the anti-immigrants in Congress (who are really anti *any* immigration, but for the most part, like you, play that down because the public doesn’t like that) to increase the quotas for H-1Bs, as, for example, Microsoft’s Mr. Gates asked for; to increase the quotas for Greencards? Did you know that it currently can take 10 years for *legal* immigrants to get a Greencard? If you are oh so much for legal immigration, you should be all over Congress to increase the quotas to speed that up.
    Until then, you are just a hypocrite racist who bashes illegal immigration but really wants to stop all immigration and just pays lip service to legal immigrants.
    In other words, put your money where your mouth is.

    GO:
    I don’t go to rallies. I have better things to do. But you probably have been at the anti-rallies…

    The only thing your posts show is that you don’t want legal immigration, either.
    AS I suspected, your hatred against illegals is just a front against all immigration.
    Just a little tidbit: without a one-time illegal immigrant, a French guy named Phillipe Kahn, your cellphone wouldn’t have a little camera in it…
    He invented it in 1997, long after he became legal (he actually is a US citizen.)
    Even our current governor was at one point illegal, since he worked while being a tourist (he admitted to it in his autobiography.)
    Immigrants are the lifeblood of this country.
