Ankarlo: Tue Nov 13, 2007

Ankarlo popped down to the Veterans Day Parade yesterday during the end of his show.  He had a run in with Spanish language radio station 1190AM Vice President Myra Nieves.  Nieves has been making the news lately by complaining about the Chandler rapist being called Hispanic.  In any event, before he was able to speak to Nieves one of her people said “Ankarlo hates Latinas.”  Of course, this is ridiculous.  But, it is a typical talking point response. 

Speaking of illegal immigration, have you seen the new Tom Tancredo for President commercial?  If not, watch it here.  Tancredo says our open borders could lead to terrorism and the video shows a man stuffing something into a backpack walking into a mall.  The voice over says “Islamic terrorists now freely roam US soil.”  The spot ends with the sound of a bomb.  Does it go too far or is it a wake up message we all need to hear?

How about another teacher-student love story. The thirteen year old student is an illegal immigrant from Mexico. The teacher is 25. They both fled south of the border where they were apprehended by police. Now, her lawyer is claiming it’s all the 13-year olds fault because he “groomed” her for this relationship. To top it all off, the student might qualify for a “U” Visa. If he does, he might get to stay in the United States for four years and then apply for permanent citizenship. Why? Because he helped solve the crime. Just another visa only a few knew about? So, if there is a such a visa, no illegals should fear turning in the Chandler rapist, right?

What is the deal with this one?  Georgia is in a severe drought and the entire Atlanta area may even run out of water.  So Governor Sonny Perdue is calling for people to pray for rain.  How come it is only when things get bad people start praying?   As one caller says to Ankarlo, we are almost “pimping” God.  What a great quote.

Finally today, is the news media biased because we cover illegal immigrant crimes? Do we cover them more than other crimes? FM News/Talk 92.3 KTAR Program Director Russ Hill talks to Darrell about this saying, why wouldn’t we report on an alleged criminal’s status? What do you think?
