"Build a wall" with "cheap labor"

Hate has a variety of faces in today's media; you've got your Lou Dobbs, your Michael Savage, and a personal fave, Bill O'Reilly. Bill's not just about skewering liberals with his double speak and accusatory "interviews" -- he also likes to stick his bigoted friends on the show as well. MediaMatters brings us a delightful little transcript of an exchange between O'Reilly and "conservative commentator" Ann Coulter:

O'REILLY: In the "Personal Story" segment tonight, conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has some strong views on illegal immigration, and here she is. It's a big mess, that's for sure. Where do you stand on it as far as what would you like to see done?

COULTER: I'd build a wall. In fact, I'd hire illegal immigrants to build the wall. And throw out the illegals who are here.

O'REILLY: You would throw them out.

COULTER: I can't even --

O'REILLY: You would throw them out.

COULTER: Yeah.

O'REILLY: So --

COULTER: Yes.

O'REILLY: The wall, I got -- I mean, you're being sarcastic with the illegal aliens. But the wall is --

COULTER: No. It's cheap labor.

Can anyone remember a time when there was so much hate in the media? Cable news has done nothing but help feed this sort of thing. It's pretty sad that when you sit down to watch a "news" channel, all you can get these days is a bunch of lamebrain hate-filled rhetoric and no real dialogue. Disgusting.

That woman is so hateful. I can't believe that there are truly people out there as ugly and mean spirited as she is. Yuck!

Me again. It is not just in the media. More and more "everday people" are being just as hateful in public. At school today, a parent came in to to the office to complain about the "hundreds of little 'refried beans' that bully her sons on the playground." She found nothing wrong with her words. Unbelieveable!
