Memo From Middle America: RECONQUISTAS, Anti-Americans, “Natural Republicans” Rage At Ann Coulter South Of The Border
The firestorm surroundingAnn Coulter’s ¡Adios, America! has spread below the border, to Proceso, a prominent Mexican news magazine. What’s really interesting is the long comments thread: it’s very bad news for anyone foolish enough to believe (as our Main Stream Media and political elite apparently do) that Mexicans like America—or that Mexican immigrants have any intention ofassimilating.
The Proceso article, [Migrantes mexicanos son más peligrosos que el Estado Islámico: escritora de EU (“Mexican migrants are more dangerous than the Islamic State: US Writer”), May 30, 2015] was based on only one segment of Coulter’s combative interview with Fusion’s Jorge Ramos. The comments were mostly from Mexicans in Mexico, with a few from Mexicans abroad and some non-Mexicans. The same arguments popped up again and again—indeed, I was already familiar with them from reading the Mexican media. (Translations and hyperlinks mine).
- Personal attacks (including on Ann’s mother)
Ann (and her late mother) came under intense personal attack. Ann was called stupid, racist, fascist, Nazi, KKK and a Hitler relative (?). One commenter called her an “analfabestia”, a combined form I’d never seen before. (It means “illiterate beast”). Another said she shouldn’t be allowed into Mexico, and if she came, she should be kidnapped. (Carlos Rf, May 30, 13:05) hoped that a black man would rape and inseminate her. Antonio Calderon (May 30, 18:10) said:
The frustration that her extreme ugliness of body and soul provokes has surely conditioned here extreme manner of thinking, of labeling entire cultures and proposing their extermination…
Extermination? When did Ann call for that? Oh yes, just advocating immigration restrictions means you’re a Nazi.
- Jorge Ramos shouldn’t have talked to her ...
