My apologies to the rinos. You are right, he is a bleeding heart lib.

[ohioman]

Go elsewhere if you don't like it.

I post this only to demonstrate how quickly the worm turns -- t his report gives Seper and the Washington Times a lot of credit for building up the idea of the Minutemen and MCDC -- so contrast that with the way certain people have turned on that same writer and paper once he wrote a few stories that raised questions about their practices and claims.

Yep, it is an interesting contrast, but it is obvious that the main reason you posted this went right over some poster's heads.

Seper was a tremendous help to the MCDC, wasn't he?

[PDR]

Yes -- I think he was at the beginning. Now they seem to view him as an enemy. But I will probably NEVER post something from that source again -- too many people are not able to think critically it appears.

Since April 2005, the Minuteman Project has morphed into a national movement, with multiple splinter groups and spin-offs increasingly targeting immigrants far from the border. The ACLU report shows how newspaper reporting that was either lazy or deliberately misleading helped transform a relatively small band of extremists into the armed vanguard of the anti-immigration movement.

Either way, MM are here to stay! ("Armed vanguard of the anti-immigration movement." Kinda catchy, dontcha think?)

Malkin has a link to Vdare on here site everyone does a big ywan.

Malkin doesn't just have a link on her site: she's a VDare contributor. So what? I agree: it's a big ywan.

Pro Open Border "republicans" have no real ammo left, its shameless when you think about it, especially when they have to resort to far left wing propaganda peices.

[raybbr]

So you call out your frog marching friends to defend you.

Which one of them is "bayourod"?

[Carry_Okie]

There's stooping too low for dubious purpose, and then there's reaching into hell for support from Satan.

This is one instance where the term "guilt by association" actually applies.

[Pelham]

But Morris Dees is very popular with the open border lobby. They even like to borrow his race-baiting.

[Pelham]

So basically you think a lot of conservative organizations are "hate groups". No wonder you find the SPLC to your liking.

[Pelham]

Good call. The SPLC lost a valuable comrade when that one opus'ed.

[skeeter]

Their styles are remarkably similar.

[PDR]

Pardon my humble opinion but nonsense... data is data as a is a.
