Here's a crass and disgusting Michael Moore and Moveon.org pro-Barack Obama ad using old actors. I know they probably need the money, but this??
I guess one has to consider the source.
ruminations & ramblings on life, politics, the arts, politics in the arts & world events by a republican actress

MoveOn.Org Wants Word "Illegal" Banned
If MoveOn.org has its way, using the word "illegal" along with "alien" or "immigrant" could land you in beaucoup trouble. They believe it constitutes a hate crime and want it banned. Even though being in this country without legal paperwork is "illegal", MoveOn and Colorlines.com want you to drop the "I-word" and replace it with:
undocumented immigrant
unauthorized immigrant
immigrant without papers
They believe using "illegal" is racist, dehumanizing, inaccurate, and harmful:
Racially charged slur? So where does my "white" New Zealand actor friend from decades ago, who overstayed his visitor's visa and was in this country "illegally" at the time, fit in?
They even believe that using "illegal" can be deadly. MoveOn posts on its site:
MoveOn even has the nerve to relate this to the Trayvon Martin incident:
And of course it's all FOX News' fault.
What words will liberal, politically correct fools want to ban next?!

A harmful slur
"Illegals" is a racially charged slur used to dehumanize and discriminate against immigrants and people of color regardless of migratory status. The i-word is shorthand for "illegal alien," "illegal immigrant" and other harmful terms.

Words hurt . . . and sometimes killWords don't kill, people do.
MoveOn even has the nerve to relate this to the Trayvon Martin incident:
Make Our Communities Safer By StoppingTrayvon Martin was not an "undocumented immigrant."
"Kill at Will" Laws
Let's prevent more Trayvon tragedies by opposing efforts to spread dangerous "Kill at Will" laws across the country.
And of course it's all FOX News' fault.
