My theory is that it is a two-fer: they have scared Hispanics with threats that the deportations are going to be massive and draconian, and at the same time have USED the Hispanics to scare Republicans and get the party fighting amongst themselves.

Ah, a CONSPIRACY. Professional protesters managed to cobble together half of a million people to march through Los Angeles and kept it so secret that we can only theorize about it.

Makes perfect sense to me. Now onward to find out who murdered Wellstone and flew those planes in to the World Trade Center! Hurrah! /s

No, it wasn't a "conspiracy." It was a PLAN, done in broad daylight. ANSWR had organizational information on their web site, there were thousands of ANSWR-printed signs on display, the Committee for Social Justice was publicly involved, the unions provided support in public, and the DNC had REGISTRATION TABLES set up.

That is not a conspiracy, that is an organized public effort. Their motivation for this is the only thing in question, and I think I pretty much have hit the nail on the head.

Once someone has been involved in a stampede caused by media manipulation, it is hard to admit you have been had. I had this experience during the Vietnam War, and I learned my lesson. My revelation of how I had meen manipulated came when 10 years after the fact I learned that we had NOT lost the Tet Offensive. I then realized how much I, as a young woman, had been led down the anti-war path by the press, Hollywood, and campus radicals. I have never forgotten it, and I always try to NOT be led by things I see on TV (as in the Katrina hysteria).

If you can't admit the possibility that the left is using this issue to divide Republicans, there is nothing I can say to convince you.

Do I think we need to solve this immigration mess? Yes. It is a serious problem. However, the marching in the streets and the stampede of the right into attacking the President is coincidentally pretty close to the November elections. I thnk I am right about this.

No seriously..the Dems did get this going. The thing they didn't plan on is that we will finish it.
