Burns Says Terrorists Drive Taxis by Day
- By MATT GOURAS, Associated Press Writer
Thursday, August 31, 2006
(08-31) 07:00 PDT Belgrade, Mont. (AP) --
Republican Sen. Conrad Burns, whose recent comments have stirred controversy, says the United States is up against a faceless enemy of terrorists who "drive taxi cabs in the daytime and kill at night."
During a fundraiser Wednesday with first lady Laura Bush, the three-term Montana senator talked about terrorism, tax cuts and the money he has brought to his state. Burns is one of the more vulnerable Senate incumbents, facing a tough challenge from Democrat Jon Tester.
He has drawn criticism in recent weeks for calling his house painter a "nice little Guatemalan man" during a June speech. Burns, whose re-election campaign is pressing for tighter immigration controls, also suggested that the man might be an illegal immigrant. The campaign later said the worker is legal.
Burns, 71, also had to apologize after confronting members of a firefighting team at the Billings airport and telling them they had done a "piss-poor job," according to a state report. In July, the Hotshot crew had traveled 2,000 miles from Staunton, Va., to help dig fire lines for about a week around a 143-square-mile wildfire east of Billings.
At the campaign event with Bush, Burns talked about the war on terrorism, saying a "faceless enemy" of terrorists "drive taxi cabs in the daytime and kill at night."
Bush described Burns as a strong advocate for Montana farmers and families.
"In Washington, Senator Burns is a respected voice on the issues facing rural communities in Montana and across the nation," Bush told Burns supporters.
She also said Burns has been important in helping the president on key initiatives, such as tax cuts, and has supported the troops fighting in Iraq and the war on terror.

Burns is 71 & calling someone "a nice little Guatamalan" is a tad patronizing but let's hope Montanans vote on the issues. Where does his opponent stand on the issues? |

We must ensure that we are kept safe and vote for only republicans, as they have a track record of keeping us safe. A democratic vivtory could lead to , goid forbid, another 9/11. Please folks, vote republican and vote often. |

Bush had higher grades than both Kerry and Kennedy...he is extremely smart and again is being underestimated by the far left. A republican victory in Nov, and then again in 08, is the only way we can stay safe.....The leftirs woul dhave us cut and run-a clear sign of weakness in the Arab/Muslim world. We must continue to preemtively strike, and most importantly, nuke Iran before they nuke us..... |

Well, I'd say a few, but they're not more sick than prostitutes from other parts/countries. I think in Italy the problem is bigger, and the prosts not so hots.
See? Leave your money here, our left government will thank you!!! Besides, Italy is ok, you know.

Jair, the 5th anniversary of 9-11 is coming up. If we don't stand fast against those bastards, we might as well all move to Brasil or some other 3rd world hellhole. |

It seems you have options of hells to choose
I agree they are bastards and I'm not against you, no at all - what doesn't mean that I am 100pct with you.
This sentence - "Are you with us or against us?" -- is a piece of work, a beautiful exercise of grammar and lie!
And, you know, Brazil is a hellhole today because it was stolen along the years by imperialists as the Americans & many European countries, among other reasons. Corrupt governments here and governments thieves in there. You know is ALL about money.
Btw: Brazil is falling: to me, here its fifth world now.
So, choose well, Glencar...

ROTFLMAO!!! That's great the wackjob Du'ers are bitching about this guy's statement about terrorists from within our own communities,huh? Gee,maybe those fucknuts at DU should ask the UK about their homegrown terrorists from 7/11/05!
I wonder if the mental midgits at DU raised hell about Biden's remarks about how only Indians work in 7/11s? Ya think they took Her Thighness,Hillary Clinton,to task over her rascist remarks about Gahndi?
Stupid fucking hypocritical assholes. How can anyone associate with such a bunch of delussional self rightous fuckheads like the DU'ers?!?!? They are such a joke,and the New Democrat Party is totally in lockstep with them! It's stunning really. If I were a Democrat I'd be very afraid of the direction of my party.
