I think you've hit the nail on the head.

[Paige]

Throughout the years when an organization or person(s) needed to be smeared or discredited the CIA has been involved on this type of level in order for people within the government to cover their behinds. This is a smear campaign to take the focus off of Congress and others who do not want to build a fence or deport Illegals out of this country.

Is this your way of covering for the failed handling of the Immigration problem by pushing an Anti-MinuteMen agenda?

Moreover, if there were the slightest problems the IRS would have already been all over this without the help of some disgruntled volunteer(s) or possible operatives.

[Paige]

Are you asking the Senate why they won't fund building a fence with taxpayer's money? Are you asking the Senate (who are paid by the American people) why they are not building a fence to keep Illegals out and our borders safe?

You sit here and stir up a controversy which seems, at this time, to only exist in the minds of some disgruntled people who didn't get what they wanted when "Volunteering" with the Minutemen.

Tell you what, when you get as loud and obnoxious about the Senate or all of government not doing their job, then maybe you can be taken serious about this smear campaign against Chris Simcox and the Minutemen.

Actually, yes, but I do that in letters and phone calls to them personally, not by posting on the internet. How about you?

Maybe you should go read the Washington Times article about all the Minutemen leaders and volunteers who are upset at Simcox's lack of transparency, and who are afraid he's going to discredit what has so far been a very effective organization.

Taken seriously by whom?

If Simcox would like to continue being taken seriously and if the Minutemen would like to continue being taken seriously, they need to stop acting like they are hiding something.

There should be no need for all this secrecy, unless they have something to hide. It's beginning to look as though at least Simcox does.

I have been politically active for 27 years. One thing I learned after listening and learning from our Great Conservative Leader, President Ronald Reagan, do not attack other Republican/Conservatives in the public eye to fuel the enemy.

Undoubtedly, you did not learn from our great leader and without a doubt it would suffice to say you need some lessons.

Furthermore, there has not been a full fledged investigation, there has not been any indictments, and there certainly has not been anyone found guilty in a court of law. Who knows what is wrong with you or why you project such bitter hatred toward Chris Simcox and the Minutemen, but 99% of the Conservatives will continue to support the Minutemen.

So, what really is your problem? There isn't any doubt you have a white hot heat of passionate hate for Chris and the volunteers but the question is why use this forum? Why attack other Conservatives who support the Minutemen and love this country?

The word fickled comes to mind when I've read your post. Have a totally blessed day.

Or, if your enemies are violent, vicious Leftists who will do anything to destroy you.

There are at last count 12 other MM/Border groups out there, who, by the way, are pretty much working together (look for a thread today about a unified rally on the border by all 12).

The main thing they have in common is keeping their distance from the Simcox group, and this isn't something that has happened just recently.

The Simcox lemmings keep trying to make this anti MM, but it is not.

This is what I would call it:

Manure spreading. Lots of old rehashed excrement, nothing new really, no facts, lots of rehashed charges that dont stick and have never been prosecuted. Lots being flung for smell and entertainment and to see what sticks. When they post enough, the Washington Times, the Compost, NYSlimes, AP and Reuters will pick up the story and rehash it again. This has already happened from previous threads.

Wont make a whit of difference to the MMDC. Apparently the negative posters do not trust the IRS and AZ Attorney General, the Cochise County Sherriff's department, the Cochise County tax assessors or any other law enforcement to do their job. So they are flinging manure.

Flying manure has such a nice smell and is entertaining to these folks. Especially if they have a politically motivated grudge not founded in reality.

Have you ever considered for a moment that it may be the other way around?

Glenn Spencer's group and Jim Gilchrist's group along with some other border groups are becoming connected at the hip with Jerome Corsi. They're appearing with him at various events and Gilchrist's book was co-authored by Corsi. Additionally, Gilchrist's group is planning a couple of very risky operations that are meant to intentionally provoke an incident. Spencer's involved and he's got a history of putting people in questionable situations, some of which saw the Brown Berets and other racist thugs riot and injure a number of the people with Spencer.
