the college republicans on my campus thought it would be a good idea to stage an immigration hunt. they got members of their group to dress as illegal immigrants and members of al queda and hunted them out for prizes. now people are all upset and they can't seem to figure out why.

anything equally stupid happening on your campus?

[floatingslowly]

wow.

I didn't think that I could be shocked by...anything.

feeling wrong sucks.

[val-holla-ing]

they're actually upset that people are upset at them.

[floatingslowly]

that's because they are stupid. THAT isn't shocking (wrong, but not shocking).

I suggest running up to them speaking spanish while mimicking the grip on an AK47.

fun would ensue imo.

you should get te college anarchists and dress some up as embryos and some up as junkies and some up as medical marihuana users and "abort " the embryos, give "methadone" to the junkies and provide the sick aids and cancer patients with fat joints.

fight fire with fire

see, what i dont get, and im still puzzled about it, is, how the fuck do you "dress" like an illegal immigrant, how the fuck do you "dress" like an al-qaeda?

do illegal immigrants wear uniforms? and i thought al qaedas tried to be inconspicuous--if anything, they would dress just like young republicans. no??

[jon boy]

Remembering Rufina Amaya: Survivor of U.S.-Inspired Slaughter in El Salvador

By Thomas Riggins
From the April 5, 2007 issue | Posted in International | Email this article
On March 9 The New York Times ran an obituary of Rufina Amaya who died at 64 in El Salvador of a stroke the previous Tuesday. We should all remember the ordeal experienced by Ms. Amaya at the hands of troops specifically trained by U.S. Special Forces.
We read in the papers today that the U.S. plans on the “Salvadorization” of the Iraqi counterinsurgency as a way to bring about a U.S. victory. In fact, The New York Times Magazine revealed in a May 2005 article that the Iraqi counterinsurgency is being advised by an American who led the Special Forces in El Salvador in the 1980s.
What can Iraqi civilians expect to face? Well, here is the story of Rufina Amaya and her village, El Mozote, and what happened at the hands of the American trained troops.
The Atlacatl Brigade was the first “Rapid Deployment Infantry Brigade” in the Salvadoran army. It was trained by the U.S. and was supposed to destroy the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), a peasant liberation movement fighting for bread and land against the Salvadoran oligarchy and its U.S. supporters.
On the night of Dec. 10, 1981, the Atlacatl Brigade took over the remote village of El Mozote. The brigade thought that FMLN members might sometimes be getting food and shelter in the village, but had no proof.
The next morning, the Brigade decided to put its training to work and make an example of the people of El Mozote. The soldiers decided to kill the entire population of the village (about 900 people, including peasants from the countryside who came to stay in El Mozote out of fear of the Atlacatl Brigade in the field). The population was unarmed.
The men were separated from the women and children and publicly executed, many were beheaded (not an Iraqi invention). Then all the girls and women 12 years old and up were killed, many were first raped. Finally, all the children under 12 and the babies were taken into the village church and then shot and bayonetted.
The next day, the brigade went to the nearby village of Los Toriles where the soldiers lined people up and shot them down. Back at El Mozote there was one survivor, Rufina Amaya, who had been able to hide. She heard her own small children screaming in fear as they were killed by the U.S. trained counterinsurgency troops.
She lived to tell the world what had happened. The United States, of course, defended the Atlacatl Brigade. The Reagan administration played down the reports that were published in The Washington Post and The New York Times. Elliott Abrams, the same Elliott Abrams who now works for the Bush administration, told Congress that the reports of the killings were not believable.
The bulk of the mass media followed the Reagan line. Time magazine suggested that if there were dead children, we should remember that children can support our enemies, the guerrillas. No one was ever punished. The Atlacatl Brigade continued carrying out its mission, which culminated in 1989 with the murder of six Jesuit priests, their cook and her daughter.
Peace accords were signed between the government and the rebels in 1992 and a general amnesty was proclaimed. A 2000 court ruling stripped the amnesty protections from the sort of massacres that were perpetrated by the Atlacatl Brigade. To date, no one has been brought to justice.
Rufina Amaya has died. She will no longer awaken in the night to the screams of her children. The Special Forces have moved on to train the Iraqi counterinsurgency. Elliott Abrams has moved on to serve another president who wages wars against other Third World people. It will be Iraqi mothers now who will face U.S.-trained forces.

Apparently they are keen on knowing in advance what is right for America. They seem to think by proclaiming they're Republican they have feel for the entire conscience of society. And of course, America ALWAYS comes first.

They are being unusually silent in the midst of a national crisis, and by that of course I mean, Don Imus's comments on the Rutgers womens basketball team.

Only in the South of America. Where the stupidity of large groups of people knows no bounds.

[afterthefact]

That just shows that their motives are in the wrong place. If they were truly concerned about the american economy and the possible threats immigration may pose, then they would handle it in a dignified manner. But the fact is is they are just racist, nothing more than neo-nazi skinheads who just happen to be able to afford Ralph Lauren.

[afterthefact]

Sure thing. Not saying I agree of course, I don't see how immigration really affects anything, but then again I don't study the economy either, so I can't take a side really.

not at all. most teachers are too deep up their own asses and doing pointless reasearch to care about something relevant to the campus.

that, and we're still trying to stop having confederate flags in school colors flown at sports functions, but that's a whole 'nother beast.

[afterthefact]

Porky, you crazy rascal, we never know what you are going to do next...

[val-holla-ing]

yes we do.
