http://www.bluevirginia.us/diary/11861/va-tobacco-commissionfunded-liberty-u-ad-funds-attacks-on-immigrant-children-as-diseasedHere's the unhinged rant by Cal Thomas, including Liberty University's ad:
"No nation can exist for long if it fails to control its borders. An estimated 290,000 "illegals" have poured across our southern border just since April. These include 50,000 children. There are regulations requiring vaccinations and reporting to a court for adjudication, but who thinks any of that will happen? Visit the Department of Homeland Security's web page and see the list of those ineligible for admittance to this country when they carry a list of diseases. Can anyone guarantee these kids have been vaccinated and don't have diseases? Media reports indicate at least some are carrying disease of one kind or another. This is all about votes of course. Democrats think they can create another permanent underclass that will be beholden to them and get their votes when the become citizens, or who knows, perhaps even before...Build a fence before dealing with those already here. If we don't we'll lose the America we inherited from our forebears...
At a time when our values and our faith are under attack, Liberty University is building a foundation to help the next generation prevail in a hostile culture. Offering classes both online and at its residential campus in Lynchburg, Virginia, Liberty University is instilling the desire in students to return America to its founding principles. Furthermore, Liberty is training champions for Christ, strengthening their faith and challenging to triumph in a changing world. For the sake of your children and our country, learn more online at liberty.edu/champions."

That's right...
A recurrent theme in Nazi antisemitism propaganda was that Jews spread diseases. To prevent non-Jews from attempting to enter the ghettos and from seeing the condition of daily life there for themselves, German authorities posted quarantine signs at the entrances, warning of the danger of contagious disease.
And isn't it strange that a "Christian" group is behind the ad...and like Cal Thomas, Jossef Goebbels was of the Christian faith, also!

and even she called them nutty. This is someone who voted for Obama twice. I'm not exactly sure why she picked the school. Maybe it was the cost and that they had an education program.
