Folks, the liberal media is the gift that keeps on giving. Even though the left keeps telling us there is no liberal bias, the actions of the networks tell a different story

Now, sucuring our borders is now something a fanatic would want to do



MSNBC's Shuster: Tancredo a Border-Control 'Fanatic'
By Mark Finkelstein | November 13, 2007 - 17:55 ET

In the most florid criticism I can recall a network "correspondent" leveling at a major party presidential candidate, MSNBC's David Shuster has branded Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) a border-control "fanatic."

The editorializing came in the course of Shuster's report during today's 5 PM ET "Hardball," which included an update on the GOP primary.


DAVID SHUSTER: No television commercial in Iowa is generating as much heat as the one just unveiled by Republican Tom Tancredo, a border-control fanatic.

Shuster proceeded to play the Tancredo ad, which can be seen, along with Shuster's "fanatic" comment, in the video linked above. A higher-quality video version of the ad is available at Tancredo's website.

There's no doubt that the tone and certain of the images contained in the ad are dramatic. People will draw their own conclusions as to whether the ad crosses the line.

is being a fanatic for security a bad thing?

it was an honest ad. I wish more people had the guts to speak up on things like that.

If securing our borders makes one fanatical, then about a third of America is "fanatic" about border control.

Fifty-nine percent of Americans polled believe the more effective way to deal with the potential treat to national security posed by millions of illegal immigrants living within the United States is to crack down on illegal immigration by toughening the enforcement of existing laws, deporting illegal immigrants and prosecuting the employers who illegally employ workers.
