VivirLatino

Hate mail and comments are as routine as breathing here at VivirLatino. I cannot even begin to calculate the time spent deleting hateful comments and emails telling us and you, our readers, to go back where we came from and to speak English (the fact that this site is in English apparently escapes them). Usually I ignore the comments and stupidity, pero sometimes, the idiocy is so great, so humorous, that I have to share.

Yesterday, VL’s inbox received a press release titled : “CALL ME CRAZY but Will Just One US President PLEASE STAND UP To Protect American Citizens”

It’s not hard to guess what the message was. Undocumented immigrants are characterized as stealing jobs and causing the economic downturn. Nothing new to see here folks.

But here’s the thing. If people calling themselves “Conservative Pundits” want to complain and send out releases, shouldn’t they be required to do a spell-check? By definition, a pundit is someone who claims authority on a subject. I cannot take you seriously if:

1: YOU INSIST ON USING CAPS IN YOUR RELEASE! There is a handy little punctuation symbol called an exclamation point. Use this for emphasis. CAPS IS CONSIDERED SCREAMING. I don’t need to scream. My words are emphatic and forceful enough.

2: You are historically inaccurate. The release starts off like this:

Is it me….or is it what it is? Since the first surge of illegal immigrants hit our country, not one President has had the cohunes’ to protect the citizens of the United States of America from…

What exactly are you considering the first surge of “illegal immigrants”? Where I’m from those are Europeans who came here. Apparently this person is using a textbook from Texas

3: You use the wrong words and render your argument incoherent.

Did you catch the mistake above? In an effort to use strong language, the writer of said release tries to use the Spanish word “cojones”, balls or did the writer intentionally mean to use the word meaning a type of palm tree and/or the nut from said palm tree?

Other laughable mistakes include:

CALL ME CRAZY but HAS ANYONE EVER WONDERED WHY GEORGE W. BUSH LEFT OUR BORDERS OPEN AFTER 9-11 TO ANY TERRORISTS WHO DESIRED TO SAUNDER ACROSS OUR OPEN BORDERS WITH A SUITCASE BOMB ON HIS BACK?

Saunder? I don’t know anyone who saunders across anything, including a border. Is this a new skill that the undocumented have developed?

and finally:

But hay; at least we have always had a President on hand to see it through to our determent.

Hay is for horses and determent prevents action.

You wanted us to call you crazy but can I call you stupid instead?
