You'll never hear about this from the MainScream Media, because it doesn't fit the narrative of RethugliKKKans hating on brown-skinned immigrants. The quality of the audio and video is sub-par (and particularly rough at first with the people talking near the shooter's mic) but I think you'll find it worth your while to stick with it to hear a refutation of multiculturalism (don't call him a "Palestinian-American") and a ringing endorsement of American exceptionalism from someone who knows first-hand how exceptional this country is.

We reserve the right to delete comments, but the failure to delete any particular comment should not be interpreted as an endorsement thereof.
In general, we expect comments to be relevant to the story, or to a prior comment that is relevant; and we expect some minimal level of civility. Defining that line is inherently subjective, so try to stay clear of insulting remarks. If you respond to a comment that is later deleted, we may take your response with it. Deleting your comment isn't a personal knock on you, so don't take it as such.
We allow a variety of ways for commenters to identify themselves; those who choose not to do so should take extra care. Absent any prior context in which they may be understood, ironic comments may be misinterpreted. Once you've earned a reputation for contributing to a conversation, we are likely to be more tolerant in those gray areas, as we'll understand where you're coming from.

OMG!
ReplyDeleteOne of the best speeches I've heard it a LONG time. It's so refreshing to hear American principles expressed so clearly without the usual mealy-mouthed platitudes. I hope when he completes his commitment to Teach for America he decides to add another title to his name - Congressman.
I'd move to any state where he decided to run just to vote for him!
He gets it - the hyphen drops of its own weight.
ReplyDeletePut him in instead of Michael Steele.
Thanks for keeping the lights on, Monster.
The hyphen drops of its own weight.
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you put that, Otto: it rolls off both the tongue and the keyboard.
Would you mind if I borrow it for future use?
Adios.
