Regrettably, the paranoid and racist yammering from the right-wing fringe on the topic of Mexico being ground zero for a global outbreak of swine flu is showing no signs of letting up. (Note to readers: though several of Hatewatch鈥檚 blogosphere friends have adopted the more politically correct, not to mention scientifically accurate, H1N1 virus designation, there鈥檚 just something about linking right-wing extremists to swine that we can鈥檛 bring ourselves to give up.) Consider:

鈥� , managing director of the anti-immigrant hate group (whose , incidentally, was to do PR work for a Republican government official), E-mailed a message to SOS members declaring 鈥淒r. Madelyn [sic] Cosman (resting in peace) was right!!!!!鈥� The late , of course, was the immigrant-bashing propagandist who, speaking at major nativist conferences, referred to Mexican immigrants as pathogen-ridden 鈥渄eadly time bombs鈥� and theorized that a Muslim terrorist could 鈥渃reate his own weapon of mass destruction鈥� by smuggling an infected Mexican across the border. She also was the source of a fairy tale about leprosy and immigrants that wound up being several times in 2007 on CNN鈥檚 鈥淟ou Dobbs Tonight.鈥�

鈥� As Media Matters for America , nationally syndicated radio blather master echoed Nightingale鈥檚 bio-terror hypothesis: 鈥淸W]hat better way to sneak a virus into this country than give it to Mexicans? Right? I mean, one out of every 10 people born in Mexico is already living up here, and the rest are trying to get here. So you give 鈥� you give 鈥� you let this virus just spread in Mexico, where they don鈥檛 have a CDC [Centers for Disease Control].鈥� Boortz went on to say: 鈥淪o if you want to get that epidemic into this country, get it going real good and hot south of the border. And, you know, then just spread a rumor that there鈥檚 construction jobs available somewhere, and here it comes. Because we鈥檙e not gonna do anything to stop them from coming across the border.鈥�

Boortz also helpfully referred to the swine flu as the 鈥渇ajita flu.鈥�

鈥� Yesterday, Boston right-wing talk radio host Jay Severin was suspended indefinitely from his afternoon drive-time show on WTKK-FM radio for, as The Boston Globe reported, 鈥渃alling Mexican immigrants 鈥榗riminaliens,鈥� 鈥榩rimitives,鈥� 鈥榣eeches, and exporters of 鈥榳omen with mustaches and VD,鈥� among other incendiary comments.鈥�

Here are those comments, in full context:

鈥淪o now, in addition to venereal disease and the other leading exports of Mexico 鈥� women with mustaches and VD 鈥� now we have swine flu.鈥�

鈥淲e are the magnet for primitives around the world 鈥� and it鈥檚 not the primitives鈥� fault by the way, I鈥檓 not blaming them for being primitives 鈥� I鈥檓 merely observing they鈥檙e primitive.鈥�

鈥淚t鈥檚 millions of leeches from a primitive country come here to leech off you and, with it, they are ruining the schools, the hospitals, and a lot of life in America.鈥�

鈥淲e should be, if anything, surprised that Mexico has not visited upon us poxes of more various and serious types already, considering the number of criminaliens already here.鈥�

The Boston Globe article further noted that Severin has been criticized over the years for falsely claiming that he had won a Pulitzer Prize. Unless the Pulitzer committee starts offering a category in hate mongering, that鈥檚 unlikely to change.
