"Maybe should have just ignored the Pope, and let his statements drift into the news dustbin."


No, he could have attacked the substance of the Pope's argument without a childish personal attack on the Pope's "perceived" motivation. Tancredo needs to grow up!

There is evidence that it is more than just “perceived” motivation. Even CBS, of all places, is reporting that the Pope has followed the lead of many US Cardinals in pushing for more open borders:

Also see Michelle Malkin’s write-up that I posted earlier.

Some may say Tancredo acts on knee-jerk reactions. Others say he fearlessly hits issues head-on. I agree that attacking the substance without attacking the Pope himself might have been the most prudent way to do it.
