Why do you say that janeane ?

They look for their kind and seek UNITY and BROTHERHOOD from other THUGS that combine to form GANGS for protection and direction. They have to often time commit serious crimes to be initiated into GANGS, which Ms. GAROFALO, the victims are YOUR MOTHER, FATHER, SISTERS, BROTHERS, or any of your Family Members that innocently fall victim for an initiatory acceptance that is required.

They are often placed as SOLDIERS and WORKERS to act out the wishes of the leaders since the leaders are often those with many arrests already. They have nothing to lose since their Identity is not known nor do they fear LAWS since comparatively the laws in America are somewhat viewed by Mexicans as only a slap in the hand.

Ms. Garofalo you do not even begin to know the realities of what you do by blindly supporting an individual only because he is Black or White. He must be judge as a whole! and yes I was on the OBAMA TRAIN as have you. I have since opened my eyes to the many REALITIES that have not been REPORTED ON by the MEDIA such as the affiliations of OBAMA. I ignored them during the election as REPUBLICAN NONSENSE and pandering and personal attacks by the opposing party.

Yet I cannot help but to now study those in College and more meticulously investigate the affiliations and friends of My President. There is a saying in Spanish that reads "Dime quien son tus amigos, y te dire quien eres", which translates to tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are.

Mrs. Garofalo we cannot always judge those by their friends either but it is the actions of President Obama for which I have grown a serious concern since I see the same tactics of SPEND, SPEND, and SPEND that my Government in Mexico did. Then when they could not spend anymore and the economy FELL again, they simply DROP THE ZEROS from the money, REPRINT MORE MONEY and those who pay and suffer are the poor and middle class of our Country while the RICH lose nothing.

The Spanish media upon our arrival was a good source of news in my native tongue and they said that the "REPUBLICANS are the PARTY for the RICH and the DEMOCRATS are the party for the poor"; yet I am opening my eyes to the reality that this is a LIE.

Republicans have high standard beliefs of FAMILIES, LESS GOVERNMENT, LESS SPENDING, LESS TAXES, THE HARDWORKING are commended, the LAZY REAP their rewards.
But the MEDIA in Spanish NEVER states that and simply we all go ignorantly supporting the DEMOCRATIC TICKET as if they represented our MINORITY VALUES and NEEDS. This is NOT TRUE!
Ms. GAROFALO our families and Latin heritage are of hardworking people who ONLY EAT if we work. We do not believe in ABORTION because of the religious upbringing of CATHOLICISM (forced down our throats by our conquerors), majority of Mexicans do not accept GAY LIFESTYLES as evidence of the lack of laws granting them acceptance and in fact Mexican GAY and LESBIAN individuals are ALWAYS CLOSETED.

There are many beliefs of our LAW ABIDING conservative people that are directly opposed to those of the Democratic Party and President Obama. But why do we then VOTE heavily democratically? It is because we are spoon fed whatever the MEDIA in Spanish tells us. We are largely a people who is trusting of our countrymen (whether right or wrong) and since we lack the English skills to watch and/or hear others opinions, we are simply people who ignorantly vote as we are told.

Education is therefore the only sound option so that we are allowed to become self actualized and make our OWN decisions. However, now that we make our own decisions and find myself opposed to the spend and tax of President Obama, I am accused of being "RACISTS", "TEA BAGGING REDNECK", and many other rants you are quoted as saying.

I am simply speechless and the absolute cruelty and closed minded comments you make which are clearly intended to incite. I believe that you are an educated person with some type of motivation. You are not running for office, you are not a news caster or commentator. I enjoy your comedy and therefore know you as a funny comedian. I know you to be an actress too here and there, but political activist? It is your right and that is what makes this Country beautiful.
It is you however that brings racism into politics and it is easy to say racism whenever it suits us, I know, I am Hispanic. Yet in Las Vegas, where I attended the rally, there was a diversity of people for which begs the question of your intent or motive.

It is therefore my reason for responding to your ridiculous and untrue inciteful comments. You are an individual tainted by Hollywood and the Hollywood machine and therefore deserve empathy but your comments must be driven for your need to revitalize your career? I have not seen you in any new movies, TV, or Stand up acts in awhile.

Why would you skewer us all and place us in a GROUP for being a supporter? Do you not know the qualifier words such as "MOSTLY", "MANY", and “SOME"? Or even simply things like "SEEMS"?

You demonstrated your RACISM by calling those in attendance as "REDNECK" and "HATERS". You actually placed us in a GROUP and failed to differentiate or qualify your statement to possible exclusions.

SO who is the racist? I an none of the things you said other than a Mexican who care for this Country and does not want to see this great nation go down the paths of the Mexican Government by spending us to poverty and unpayable debt.

I only support the TEA PARTY to show that President OBAMA was elected but he has another 1/2 of America to listen to. I am in individual with NO POWER and NO BULLY PULPIT. I am not a movie star like you to get invited to go on live radio or TV.

I am however a part of a sum. A sum that can at least bring to the attention of other LATINOS, BLACKS, or WHITE individuals that they must awake and understand the OBAMA EXPRESS HONEYMOON is over.

We must challenge our President, and we must oppose him when necessary. The unity of individuals did include DEMOCRATIC VOTERS. I know, I
Was one of 3 that attended? I absolutely refute your comments and find them offensive, yet I am not even any of the things you stated.

You please note that I remain an individual who loves this Country and do not fall into any of your PREJUDICE boxes of neither GENDER, RACE, RELIGION, nor POLITICAL AFFILIATION and yet you place me in them by name calling and insulting. I wish you well and success in your career, yet I know that your political statement as a NON-POLITICIAN will possibly have consequences that affect your already dwindling career. Yet, if you made them as a stance of a comedian, then forgive my response and know that you were not funny.

These are the sacrifices I made however the president is with total contemptuous behavior spending and slowly turning this Country into a spending frenzy and I am worried.

He is talking to other Countries like my NATIVE MEXICO telling them "U.S. is to BLAME" for the GUNS and the sales of guns etc., Yet, I who lived in Mexico and who saw with my own two eyes the behavior of my fellow "ciudadanos" (citizens) of a proud Mexico. However, the criminals who are causing the deaths and killings are NOT innocent and have been doing this for many years not only for the drug trade but also for simple POWER.

The guns are sold in Mexico from not only U.S. but since guns are illegal to won in Mexico, bringing the guns from U.S. can be risky and they are shipped into the harbors by sellers that bring Russian and ex soviet guns from CUBA!

Regardless, this is only one of many things that My President is doing that I don’t agree. I then stood beside many AMERICANS and regardless that they were Republican, they stood up to bring attention to the many wrong things President Obama is doing, and the Media will not report on it or even make the community aware of the many things he is doing.

For example, I did not get my Visa for 9 years as I waited for a lottery or simply the availability of an opening and during that time I studied ENGLISH and American History and American Government.

My native country of Mexico, that I love, is simply a Country plagued with poverty and corruption among many either problems. I knew that in order for me to succeed in life, I had to make a choice of coming to America or staying in Mexico to raise a family in those difficult conditions.

I chose to leave Mexico because of the mentality of socialism that benefits those in POWER ONLY. I chose to leave because I have moral standards and believe in freedom. I do not agree with the structure of Mexican Government for many reasons but more importantly because it is a system of people "que solo se sirven entre ellos mismos" they are a self serving government who only seek after their own benefit and re-election. The Government has control of EVERYTHING in Mexico by nationalizing areas that they want and while those independent companies, who do control their own destinies must pay off the Government or they will suffer the same fate as AIG who clearly "fueron burros" where dumb for taking the bait of Government money to only be controlled and nationalized by de facto of the Obama Administration.

I cannot express appropriately to you how grateful I have been of getting an education in a major University here in America, but I can only share my talents and service by paying back to this Country for the opportunity it has offered me.

I know the times are difficult in Mexico for my fellow ciudadanos but it is those like me who had parents with a dream and who are LAW ABIDING people who made the sacrifice to spend money to apply for residency in this Country for me and my siblings. They also encouraged and demanded that if we were to assimilate to American values and society, WE MUST STUDY and learn the language and Government and most importantly the LAWS.

I struggled as well as my parents. We started by buying books, taking classes of English and practicing between ourselves. So that almost 9 years later when we finally were approved we could have less difficulty finding employment, studying, and more importantly not ARRIVE IN AMERICA WITH OUR HANDS OPEN asking for HELP!

My family is a proud family and many others like me are waiting in Mexico for an opportunity to come to America LEGALLY and why then does the American Government approve and so easily forgive ILLEGALS who came to this Country by BYPASSING immigration laws?

Why does Obama now want to offer amnesty to those who chose to break laws and simply come here because they wanted to.... and why do they get rewarded with legal status when my family and I waited for 9 years and prepared to come to this Country and made sacrifices to make sure we followed the laws.

You might want to Judge me as a TURNCOAT or someone who hates my Country, however you would be incorrect in your judgment/prejudice of me because the true reason for my disapproval of Obama's intent of offering amnesty is because there are TENS and HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of hard working good Mexicans that ARE DOING it RIGHT and LEGAL and await for their opportunity and paid the FEES and paid the "DUES" and are law abiding people who WILL NOW because of the LAW BREAKING MEXICANS, NEVER GET THEIR CHANCE.

It is a fact that if the law breakers who came illegally here are granted asylum/Amnesty it will then cause those waiting to possibly in their lifetime to never be approved and/or by lottery win their immigration status.
BECAUSE America would have already taken their FILL OF MEXICAN people into the FOLD.

REMEMBER that a large number of ILLEGAL residents in America have proven to be law breakers and you should know that had they sought education or desired to seek employment in Mexico they would not need to illegally move to the U.S.

A large percentage of, if not MOST, of those living here illegally are people who WOULD HAVE NEVER qualified or BEEN ABLE to PASS THE SCREENING and/or testing of the U.S. Immigration because of many reasons such as CRIMINAL RECORDS, MEDICAL INFERMATIES, or many other reasons.

THERE IS A SPECIFIC reason for the process we took for applying to come to this COUNTRY. It is to PROTECT PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF MS. GAROFALO. The food you eat, and are served in restaurants; the vegetables that are grown and picked for your consumption are handled in part by these LAW BREAKERS who had NO medical screening for TUBERCULOSIS, HEPATITIS, AIDS, and MORE HIGHLY contagious infirmities.
Those who you and Mr. Obama want to rapidly allow staying pose a real danger in simply ONLY LIVING HERE.

You should know Ms. Garofalo that the majority of delinquents in our Country are treated very severely in our Courts in Mexico. Therefore they have nothing to lose than to COME to AMERICA to escape convictions or jail and bring with them the SAME CRIMINALITY to the United States.
They continue to commit crimes here and give the law abiding Mexicans such as myself a BAD NAME simply because we share the same native Country. I know because I was a victim of these bullies and criminals in my grade school, and junior high school. These kids have no homes, or parents who care for them. So they come to America with nothing to lose and bring also GANG VIOLENCE and GANG MENTALITY. Because they arrive in a foreign Country for which they did NOTHING to prepare themselves to do so. They do not speak the language, they do not know the laws, they do not have support, they do not have financial savings, nor do they have any of the things one must prepare themselves with SO... What are they left to do?

Janeane,

I must tell you that as a Democratic Latino Male who attended the TEA PARTY in Las Vegas....
Find myself extremely insulted and annoyed at your racist’s comments you leveled against "everyone" who attended.
I personally voted for Obama and support him; HOWEVER in the time he has been serving me as my president, I have noticed inconsistencies and lies that he has committed.

My support for the Tea Party was to show disapproval for the TAXING and the SPENDING that is out of control.

I do not agree with the spending and simply attended to show support for the ideology of the conservative RIGHT for our President to reconsider or at least note that he should remember he represents ALL AMERICANS even the right winger radicals.

This is being said from a staunch Democrat (me) that not only DONATED MONEY to Obama's Campaign but also VOLUNTEERED for Obama in three cities on my OWN DIME and took 8 weeks of PAID HOLIDAYS that had accumulated at my job. I slept in my CAR and whenever the temporary campaign headquarters allowed, I would sleep on an air mattress I had with me in my CAR. I showered in the affiliated Health Clubs of my Club I am a member of.
