Default Conservative talker suspended after blaming swine flu on the ‘millions of leeches’ from Mexico.

Conservative talker suspended after blaming swine flu on the ‘millions of leeches’ from Mexico.

"Conservative talker Jay Severin was suspended indefinitely today by Boston's WTKK-FM after using the current swine flu outbreak to attack Mexicans and immigrants. On his radio show, Severin blamed the swine flu on what he called "some of the world's lowest of primitives in poor Mexico":

Good. The Mexican-bashing is ridiculous. Here's a segment from Countdown on this topic:

So you folks are basically saying anyone can drift across the border illegally if they want to, despite the fact that disease control and epidemic prevention are some of the main reason to make people go through the immigration process legally? It is no coincidence that some of the first outbreaks of this (over exaggerated) influenza popped up in Texas and California.

What the hell is wrong with you people?

I'm totally against illegal immigration. I'm also against making things up and blaming people for illnesses they had nothing to do with.

The poor didn't create this flu..they caught it. This flu came from Asian swine, European swine, avian and human strains. The origin is not the victims. The origin could very well be the US if they find it originated on that pig breeding farm in Mexico that is part of SmithField Farms.

What's wrong with us????
We're too decent use the tragedy of a world-wide disease to try and further our political agenda - that's what's wrong with us.

Besides the US, this flu has sprung up in Canada, New Zealand, Britain, Germany, Spain, Israel, and Austria - so clearly it was illegal immigrants sneaking into all those countries and bringing the disease with them (those illegals are mighty strong swimmers to get all the way across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans aren't they?)


Get a clue.
It's a disease. It doesn't selectively pick out illegal aliens to infect - and it didn't JUST make it's way into the USA.

Yeah but isn't this whole swine flu thing just that much more incentive to further crack down on mexican illegal immigration?

Well you have to be a liberal like Jamie Foxx or the Tea party CNN reporter to get away with anything!
