Mainstream media’s obsession with immigration just seems to grow and grow. It’s not just Lou Dobbs anymore. One can’t watch cable news in primetime without being bombarded with ignorant punditry and hate-filled diatribes. Media Matters has a couple of particularly disturbing examples today, not from cable TV but from the internet and radio:

Michelle Malkin, the Filipino-American right wing pundit says:

Apologists are quick to argue that Latino supremacists are just a small fringe faction of the pro-illegal immigration movement (never mind that their ranks include former and current Hispanic politicians from L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to former California Democratic gubernatorial candidate Cruz Bustamante).

Um, what? I’d come up with a stronger response to this statement if I thought it deserved more than just a quick “Are you smoking something?”

An Atlanta-area radio host thinks that all Latino immigrants need to be “stored” somewhere before ultimately deporting them all:

The United Nations and the Euro-weenies, who have their own immigration problem with their own “M” word; It’s Muslims for them. They will start screaming about human rights violations like you’ve never heard them screaming before. They are not going to be shipped back. I mean, Royal, think about — Mexico doesn’t want ‘em back, first of all. Think what happens if we round — first of all, where do we store 11 million Hispanics just waiting to ship ‘em back to Nicaragua, Columbia, Costa Rica, Mexico. Where do we store ‘em?

Media Matters is urging the public to contact both of these commentators to voice their opposition to the views expressed.
