Thread: West Wing

Did anyone see the West Wing, alot of talk about immigration and the Minutemen. Even though its a fictional program at least the subject had air time to a wide audience. They didn't flame the Minutemen but it wasn't flattering either but what can you expect from Hollywood.

What did they say about the Minutemen?

They implied that the Minutemen are gun happy Walter Mitty's who could inadvertently turn a tense situation to violence.

The character Alan Alda portrays which is Republican Senator and White House candidate Vinig said that the Minutemen were right in so far as the Border Patrol receiving inadequate funding for adequate enforcement. He said though that the Minutemen were wrong to take things into their own inexperienced hands. There was a comment that the protests brought as many press as border watch volunteers. The Minutemen said that it is good as long as it reduces the traffic. There was also a Minutemen concession that
some were merely going across the line further down.

Well great. Good to know the West Wing has an important political message for the nation.

Left wing script writers in Hollywood helped get us into this mess in the first place. I'll be sure to stay tuned for their solutions.
