Showcasing the tolerant left
I was running through some of the comments that are sent to the New York Young Republican Club and I came across some very curious, and hilarious remarks from individuals who had mistaken our website for the website for the New York University College Republicans. So, without further ado, the comments:
Where should the next Republican convention be held? Any gay bar will work - posted by xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Well, xxxxxxxxxx, here's your GOP convention.
Why do you (ignorant Americans) need to do such a play out of hatred for different people - I wish you were born poor, on the other side, and without possibilities. You just have money: any trace of intelligence. Sorry for you: you must invent silly things to give sense to your existence. - posted by ana
I'm not exactly following Miss Ana. Perhaps she thought she was sending a comment to a Paris Hilton or Britney Spears fan site. Or maybe Kofi Anan's old UN page.
- and now, my favorite -
Watch your backs, nazi f**ks... Contrary to your ignorant and slanted pre conception, a good part of the "illegal aliens" you are making fun of can read english very well.Just don't be surprised when they start a new game "Let's whack all the fragile, closeted gay, spineless republican club members"
This is a message from Jose, a Mexican friend of mine that is moving to NY next week. He's been trying to get deported but this would be a fun way to get a free ticket home.

I really don't think much needs to be said about this one.
The "immigration game" that NYU organized received a lot of press and the New York Young Republican Club (this one at least) really didn't give the event much thought. We were too busy co-sponsoring an immigration debate up at Pace University, which has been rescheduled for April. Our friends up at Pace U. are working with the Democrats at the college, so I'm sure the event will be too boring for sensationalists. I look forward to attending it though and letting visitors to our site hear how the debate goes.

Nanny-State Sen. Kruger Proposes Stupidest Idea of the Year
Is it possible anyone thinks that Sen. Kruger's idea to ban the use of ipods, walkmans and cell phones while crossing the street is a good idea? Frankly, I think this is one of the stupidest, most brain dead ideas I've heard in a long time. And in NYC that is really saying a lot.
First of all, cops won't be stopping middle age executives in midtown during rush hour as they call home while running to catch the LIRR. It's just never going to happen. And if it did the mayor would lose those pretty approval numbers he gets overnight.
Instead, what this will lead to is cops hassling young black and hispanic kids at 2am on the phone trying to figure out which club to head to next and when there aren't any cars on the road anyway. They'll get the usual stop and frisk and probably get busted for pot possession (which means they spend 3 or 4 days in Rikers, pay a $90 fine and cost the system a few thousand to process them).
There's a law of unintended consequences that Sen. Kruger needs to learn. This will not stop pedestrian accidents, and the public will learn that quickly. The backlash against anyone who supports this is likely to be strong.
Just like when they tried to make it a crime to have your cell phone ring in a theater, this infringes on people's privacy in ways that nobody is considering yet. Nobody wants to be walking down fifth ave while on the phone and haiving to pause the conversation at every corner. Nor will the cops want to enforce such stupidity, jusy as they don't enforce jaywalking now (which, incidentally, probably leads to more accidents than ipods). Of course, if you are jaywalking with your ipod on, you're really just asking for it.
Anyone who thinks this is a good idea needs to get their head, or at least their common sense, examined. And any minority legislator who supports this will hear about it from their constituents.
