Climate of Fear Part 46

Now illegal aliens are getting in on the sign stealing act, just like pro-abortion vandals. An illegal alien in Texas was caught stealing an anti-illegal immigration sign. He will probably be deported:

A Honduran teenager faces deportation after being charged with stealing an anti-immigration protest sign.

Joel Martines, 19, was arrested May 11 on charges he stole the sign outside a convenience store where day laborers seek work. The store has been the scene of protests supporting stricter enforcement of immigration laws.

Previous climate of fear post.

"Now illegal aliens are getting in on the sign stealing act"

What one kid does cannot rightfully be attributed to an entire group, which is essentially what you have done with this sentence.

Are you denying my statement is factually correct? Are illegal aliens not getting into the sign stealing act?

A constant argument of illegal immigtation supporters is that they are only here to get jobs, but here is yet one more who is using illegal means to silence those who disagree with him. That combined with the racist protests of the past few months, the totalitarian ideology of many of the protestors and the protest organizers, and the violence by some of the protestors makes this an area of legitimate concern for those of us concerened about political freedom and who want to get the violence out of politics.

I would not have disagreed with the statement "here is an illegal immigrant getting in on the sign stealing act." However, you said "Now illegal aliens are getting in on the sign stealing act," which implies that there are many cases of this happening when, in fact, you only describe one case. That was my objection.

I think you would object if I said that "now the conservative media are turning to illegal drug use" by pointing out Rush Limbaugh's problems. In this case, although I'm sure Bill O'Reilly is on crack, there is only one major member of the conservative media dealing with his illegal drug use.
