Well, I can't speak for Jim, so FWIW...

I am pretty sure that it wasn't just the fact that Stormfronters were planning to attend, but he thinks they were in on the planning of it to begin with. Who knows.
Reading the quoted posts from stfront in This Thread - especially #64 ...makes one wonder.


But I believe his most rational reason would be to cover himself in case things go weird down there.

You must admit it's a risk. With the # of Freepers who could wind up going if he allowed it to be promoted here... If things got ugly, you just know the MSM would go after Jim in a big way.

Yes, you are correct. This is a concern that is shared between many groups and activists. On one hand, people are willing to support anyone that is trying to address the problem in a civic way. On the other hand, people are concerned about who will show up during Minuteman and something may go wrong. It is a risk as are many things of value in life. What is the old saying? "No guts no glory?"

That being said, I think the best way to deal with the danger is to give people information and let them make up their own minds. There is enough censorship of immigration issues by MSM and people are very alert to the same from discussion forums.
