Hall of Shame: Freepers


Freepers are what members of Free Republic--a rightwing chat site--call themselves. Anti-Latino hatred is a common feature among the anonymously posted commentary. For example, Candor7's response to Homeland Czar Chertoff's prediction that the immigration crackdown will impact certain industries is typical:

Americans, including me, would rather do their own landscaping, mow their own lawns, do their own laundry, pick vegetables and fruit and pay higher prices for real wages, end indentured illegal alien servitude, and keep America from turning into a bilingual nation with the Hispanics not caring a bit about the patriotism and nation hosting them, nor wanting to learn the English language and assimilate culturally.
