It sucks their background can be used to discredit the perfectly-defensible position of being Anti-ILLEGAL Immigration,

Don't fall for the "guilt by association" gambit- it's just a logical fallacy that avoids dealing with the meat of the issue.

Guilt by Association is a class of fallacies in which a proposition is considered invalid because of a circumstantial association with a disliked person, group, other entitity, or concept. Alternatively, a proposition considered to be negative is affirmed by such an association.

Bullcrap.

We're talking funding, and the FOUNDER of those groups who has had no problem taking the money from a very questionable source.

Or do you consider white supremancy and eugenuics to be acceptable? That's the agenda from the Pioneer Fund, which donated $1.5 million to those groups, or did you not bother to read the article? Or do you not want to handle with the fatc you seem awfully comfortable with a bunch of racists?

Logical fallacy? You're ducking the fact that these racists funded FAIR. And Tanton took their money. Either that is failure to duly research what they stood for, OR he KNEW what they stood for, and felt they were acceptable associates.
