La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for September 17, 2014
Transcript:
Radio: El Giant Rushbo here. Illegal Central American children are swarming the border, my friends. Yes, these immigrant kids are suspiciously swarthy, too. They are probably ISIS terrorists posing as children! Tiny spies! Haven't you people seen the movie "Spy Kids"?!

I dunno, with all those Muslim prayer soccer jerseys (made by Adidas, no less!) theyâre finding along the border these days, maybe Robert Rodriguez has another hit on his hands.

Careful, agrestic, theyâll take you seriously. Some people have no sense of humor, and wouldnât find the silhouette in the middle panel at all funny.

That isnât even the most bizarre thing Rush has actually said. You canât make something up to ridicule him, he has already outpaced you.

As I thought, some people have no sense of humor. Trying to get people who have a different point of view banned is pathetic.

Rush doesnât seem to mind the brown skinned little boys in the Dominican Republic that he âfrolicsâ with every now and then. Some people sayâŠâŠ

Once again, indieâs on his campaign to silence folks he doesnât agree with, this time by trying to be Terms and Conditions Cop. What is it that you hate about free expression, indie? And letâs see, expressions of hate and bigotry? Well, you seem to do pretty smashingly on that front, with your constant smearing and vitrioling. Not to mention folks like dzw or mdavis (especially mdavis). So why not direct this at them? Hmmm? Consistency not your thing?
And why leap to Limbaughâs defense? The manâs a certified, unrepentant racist, sexist, homophobic, fear-mongering bigot. Thereâs not even any controversy around that characterization. Perhaps in real life you prefer to go by the appellation âdittothinkâ?
By the way, itâs absolutely true that some people say that thing about Rush and Dominican boys, so tallguyâs in the clear by your suddenly nitpicky standards.
Iâll end (for now) with this: itâs remarkable how different the tone of the conversation in this forum is today vs. yesterday. I think Iâve isolated the variableâŠ

ONCE AGAIN, AGRESTIC IS NOT TALKING ABOUT LALOâS STRIP, BUT ME.
You do realize youâre shouting like a loon throughout this post, right? Once again, hereâs a formatting guide if youâd like to come across slightly more sophisticated-like.
And yep, Iâm replying to your post and asking you some questions. I notice the only thing you said about my initial post today was that itâs apparently against the T&C to link to a snarky news post. Why did you just start in on that today of all days? Saving up your rage from yesterday?
As far as hate and bigotry, you, dzw, and mdavis are masters of it. Not just hurling it against Alcaraz but also against classes of people. Straight-up bigoted remarks, even. So yes, your buds have posted violations, if youâre going to go by that T&C you quoted. This is a statement of fact. And yet you have never seen fit to say anything to your right-wing buds. Like I said, it donât seem like consistencyâs your thing.
Letâs for argumentâs sake say that Limbaugh has never, ever uttered the word âswarthy.â Even if (big if) that is the case, he has uttered all manner of other offensive statements. Like these. Or these. (I wonder if youâll actually visit those links.) Thereâs a reason more and more sponsors and stations are dropping his show. So yes, I do have incontrovertible evidence of it. Itâs been documented over and over and over again on the web. Iâve given you a head start. And if youâd like to know more, I urge you to go forth and Google.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT (AND WE KNOW WHICH), IâD DEFEND YOU AGAINST LIES.
Considering that you have regularly been caught in inconsistencies here, yeah, âweâ do know which. I base my outlook on evidence, and youâve provided plenty.
YES, IT DID HAVE ALL THE BITING COMMENTARY OF A RETIREMENT VILLAGE LUNCHEON. AMAZING HOW WELL FOLKS GET ALONG WITH OTHERS THAT THINK EXACTLY THE SAME.
This statement is laughable on its face. I regularly disagree with ORMouse, and she with me, for instance. But itâs quite interesting that you seem to valorize âbiting commentaryâ when youâre the one doing the gnawing, but then you yelp and whine and try to silence folks when others snap back. Just another piece of evidence suggesting that at heart youâre a little bully who throws a tantrum every time he canât get his way. Which puts you right on par with one Rush Limbaugh. The teachers must adore you.

By the way, what did you mean by âALL THE BITING COMMENTARY OF A RETIREMENT VILLAGE LUNCHEON"? Iâd say youâve just added slanders against elders to your list of offenses.

ARGLEDYBLARGLEDYBOO!
Nothing to see there besides utter incoherence, so moving alongâŠ
JUST AS YOUâVE ACCUSED ME OF DOING. IâVE LEARNED TO IGNORE IT.
Hahahahahahahahaha! Is this opposite day?
IF ITâS ON THE WEB IT MUST BE TRUE.
You know, you can find true information on the internet. Or does it only count for you if itâs ink on dead trees? Itâs really not difficult to dig up sound and video files of Limbaugh himself saying stuff, which is pretty close to a primary source.
This statement is laughable on its face.YOU AND OTHERS SAY I HAVE NO HUMOR â WELL, MAKE UP YOUR MIND.
Thereâs a difference between laughing at someone and laughing with them.
AH, NAME CALLING.
More like remote psychological diagnosis.
THOSE ARE SEDATE EVENTS.
Iâve seen some pretty biting commentary at retirement home luncheons (and yes, Iâve been to more than one). So what you are saying is not true.

I must say, itâs been quite entertaining to see you get so bent out shape that you look like a pretzel today. But for your own sake, you might want to see your doctor about adjusting any medications you might be on.
agrestic over 10 years ago
âUm, just making a factless declarative statement is âuseless.âYou mean like âYou are not anything like Lalo.â?
Considering all the evidence youâve left lying around today, Night-Gaunt seems to have made a pretty well-founded statement.
agrestic over 10 years ago
But for your own sake, you might want to see your doctor about adjusting any medications you might be on.ACTUALLY, HE ASKED WHY IâM SO GLEEFUL TODAY.
Ah, I see. A manic episode. Welp, hope the comedown isnât too hard.
