I never know what to think of USA Today's Kirsten Powers but today...
Kirsten Powers snapped at Bill O'Reilly tonight after he told her she doesn't know what she's talking about on immigration, and told O'Reilly she's tired of him mocking liberals every day on every single issue just because "they care about people."
Powers argued that O'Reilly's getting his facts wrong and that immigrants coming to the U.S. back in the day (like the Irish) were poor and uneducated, much like the immigrants O'Reilly is so worried about today. O'Reilly dismissed Powers and told her, "You don't seem to really know what you're talking about."
That really set Powers off. "I am so tired of this with you. I'm so tired of your mocking----mocking liberals because they care about people, that there's something self-righteous about wanting to take care of children. You know, I thought this was a Christian thing, Bill." O'Reilly mockingly shot back that she must "hold the high moral ground" because she favors open borders. Powers told O'Reilly that he continues to misrepresent the views of liberals like herself.
According to Fox pinhead Bill O'Reilly:
Poor white immigrants like his ancestors = Good.
Poor brown immigrants like Guatemalans = Bad.

Give me your white tired, your white poor,
Your white huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched white refuse of your teeming white shore.
Send these, the white homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden white door!
Your white huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched white refuse of your teeming white shore.
Send these, the white homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden white door!
And your three lines of commentary at the end were dead on, pokerfan!

No, Billo, I don't mean Ms. Powers. I mean the other one. Monica Crowley just spin it all into a neat little conspiracy theory that came straight out of la-la land. Now shut her up, get the straightjacket on her and put her in a rubber room, pronto.

it for ill gains. Just another piece of trash on the junk pile of history.
