A recent MSNBC panel led by Rachel
Maddow appeared incredulous that Virginia voters are concerned about illegal
immigration and would like to see our borders secured. The diverse all-woman
panel yucked it up over the backwardness of the rubes of Old Dominion. Maddow
noted that Virginia does share a border with West Virginia,
however, and intimated that perhaps the voters should be more concerned with
keeping the deplorable yahoos in that state from entering Virginia.
This was a remarkably repulsive—and
public-- display of disdain for average Americans, even for the likes of MSNBC.
Especially considering that illegal immigration now ranks as the number one
concern among Americans overall, for several excellent reasons—expense, crime
and human and drug trafficking among them.
It is hard to imagine a group of
alleged “journalists” being more out of touch. Given the tone of conversation,
it wouldn’t have been surprising to hear Maddow or one of her associates
exclaim, “Let them eat cake!” (Or cereal.)
Sadly,
Maddow’s show is quite popular. Still, it is hard to believe there are those
who get their “news” from despicable clowns like these.
