Any of you who lives in a competitive district knows that the GOP is pushing immigration as a major issue for November. While the more viruently anti-immigrant elements of the GOP claim that they are not racist or anti-Hispanic, this ad from the National Republican Congressional Committee shows plain well to what sick impulses they are trying to appeal.

The ad is against Tammy Duckworth in the Illinois 6th District and has been running for about a week in the Chicago market:

Seems like the standard arguments, that Democrat X supports "amnesty" and that that will cost the US billions for social services (like social security, which many illegal immigrants pay large sums of money into without getting anything in return, but that's beside the point).

While the footage of Mexicans being caught at the border is distasteful to say the least, perhaps the NRCC bigwigs would have a point that they are not racist because they are showing illegal aliens. Fine, let's give them that point.

However, the vile, racist nature of this ad comes out at second 15, with the following graphic:

FoxNews.com has just posted an article entitled "Is the Daily Kos About to Implode?"

I haven't read it all, but it seems rather bogus. Here's the link

It's written by Noel Sheppard of realclearpolitics.com

I'll pad this diary a bit below the jump more after reading the article, but I'd like to get it out there for y'all first. Read More

If you go to the Drudge report right now ( http://www.drudgereport.com/ ) you will see that one of the links on the site says "Latino gangs claim their turf in Iraq...".

That link takes you to this article from the Chicago Sun-Times:

http://www.suntimes.com/...

Which has the following first two paragraphs:

The Gangster Disciples, Latin Kings and Vice Lords were born decades ago in Chicago's most violent neighborhoods. Now, their gang graffiti is showing up 6,400 miles away in one of the world's most dangerous neighborhoods -- Iraq.
Armored vehicles, concrete barricades and bathroom walls all have served as canvasses for their spray-painted gang art. At Camp Cedar II, about 185 miles southeast of Baghdad, a guard shack was recently defaced with "GDN" for Gangster Disciple Nation, along with the gang's six-pointed star and the word "Chitown," a soldier who photographed it said.

I don't know about you, but I really don't have a problem with the status quo on illegal immigration. For me, it seems like it is the least worst option. I don't support sealing the border and punishing people who help illegal immigrants because I believe in liberty and I certainly don't support making being an illegal immigrant a felony, because wanting to work is not a felony and we are spending enough on Federal Prisons. I also don't really support allowing undocumented immigrants currently here a chance to become citizens, as it would be a slap in the face to people who come here legally.

So why can't we just leave well enough alone? Read More

Yesterday, Tuesday February 21, four University of Chicago students were arrested for protesting Marine Recruiters who were on campus. The four students are Jeremy Cohan, Ben Fink, Tom Discepola, and Brian Stapleton. They have been charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct. You can read about what transpired and see some cell phone pics of the events at the website of undergraduate student Jarrett Belle-Isle ( http://www.jbelleisle.com/ ), from which I quote the story below the jump.

So this is expected to be a tough race. 12-year incumbent John Stroger (http://www.co.cook.il.us/...) is being challenged by County Commissioner Forrest Claypool (http://www.co.cook.il.us/...).

I ask you in poll form, Cook County Kossacks, for whom will you be voting?

I'll be voting for Claypool. He showed at the Park District that he can clean out corruption and patronage and deliver quality government services without raising taxes which is exactly what the county needs. Stroger's a good guy, but the corruption and horrible delivery of county services has been just too much.

Uh Oh! Nat'l Review is calling us a bunch of terrorist lovers!

Last night, a Kossack named A Patriot put up a post and a poll asking who do you despise more, George Bush or Osama Bin Laden. The results were as follows

Have any of you seen this quote from Time Magazine? It is an articles by Matt Cooper about the Bush-Delay relationship. Check out this little quotation:

http://www.time.com/...

"Even before DeLay's announcement that he would abdicate his leadership post, top Bush advisers tell TIME, the President's inner circle always treated DeLay as a necessary burden. He may have had an unmatched grip on the House and Washington lobbyists, but DeLay is not the kind of guy--in background and temperament--the President feels comfortable with. Of the former exterminator, a Republican close to the President's inner circle says, "They have always seen him as beneath them, more blue collar. He's seen as a useful servant, not someone you would want to vacation with."

Well, I was checking out the News Blog a couple minutes ago and the "Simple Sambo" picture is no more.

http://stevegilliard.blogspot.com/...

I guess it was a Washington Post-owned picture that was "touched up" to get the blackface effect and said newspaper took exception to Steve Gilliard's use of their photo. As such, as of the last few hours or so, when you click on the above link, you will no longer have Simple Sambo greeting you.

I suppose that Gilliard's picture did go a bit beyond fair use. I wasn't really a fan of it, but in light of Mr. Gilliard's being black I had no problem with his using it. I also fully understand Tim Kaine's decision to pull his ad from the site because, really, there is no upside to being associated with a picture like that if you don't have to. Oh well, the uproar was fun while it lasted.

I'm ecstatic! They just beat the Angels in game 5 6-3 to take the series 4 games to 1 and go to their first series since 1959! Here's hoping they make it the first World Series title since 1917.

Sure there were some bad calls, but you can't deny that the Sox did play much better than the Angels this series regardless of the bad umpiring. Those 4 straight complete games by Buehrle, Garland, Garcia, and Contreras were stellar.

I'm just giddy!

I was perusing http://www.andrewsullivan.com today as I am wont to do in the morning, and in addition to Andrew's justified outrage at Pope Benedict's new policy of banning homosexuals from seminaries, he also takes a jab at Armando for his recent post on Larry Summers ( http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/9/21/101049/138 ) and evidence calling into question his assertion that there may possibly be genetic differences between men and women when it comes to math and science.

Sullivan's post can be found at this link:
