Linking legit border groups to fringe idiots. Typical.

Can't help but think a lot this started with President Bush's *vigilante* comment.

Standard liberal slim tactic - the same as linking the Holocaust Museum killer to Rush and conservatives. Or Tiller's killer to mainstream pro-life groups. It's what you do when you cannot make a coherent defense of your own positions - instead, you try to tear down those who can.

Forde and two men dressed up as Border Patrol agents and broke into the southern Arizona home of a man they thought was a drug dealer, hunting for money or drugs to sell.

So it had nothing at all to do with opposition to illegal immigration. It was about drugs and money.

Associated Press did not create the group and give it a name that looks like Simcox's. She named her group of brigands Minutemen American Defense. The fact that this woman is a mercenary makes no difference: she made the link.

"We knew that Shawna Forde was not just an unsavory character but pretty unbalanced as well," said Chris Simcox, the founder of one of the original border watch groups, the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps.

Her organization says the number of hate groups nationwide has risen 54 percent since 2000, fueled by opposition to Hispanic immigration and, more recently, by the election of the nation's first black president and the economic downturn.

Indisputable, unimpeachable, irreproachable facts.

My view is the “fringe idiots” are a simple product of the Federal Government’s total failure to protect our borders.

Really fries my butt to know that thousands of people flood across our borders, and leech off us with virtually no problem and I have to go through 14 kinds of hell and great expense to be able to bring my legitimate foreign wife here. Of course she is well educated, speaks 4 languages fluently and would vote conservative which explains a lot.

The Austin unAmerican Statesman is the liberal rag that has been up for sale since last year and no one cares to buy it. This is a typical hatchet job on border enforcement because Austin is also a “sanctuary city” and is run by Leftists who want illegals to be able to vote Democrat in Texas elections.
Austin is a blight on the state of Texas, and the capitol ought to be moved to a site more representative of Texans.

Of course; but they won’t talk about the nutjob in the WH who is trying to change everyone’s life. Typical.

Austin-American Statesman should be your first clue...I’d use it for toilet paper but it would give me a deep red rash.

If they'd dressed up as BATF agents or local SWAT members no one would ever have known the difference.

There's precious little information about the crime itself. Was the guy a drug dealer?

There are kooks in all walks of life. How many ACORN members have committed violent crimes? I know the media would never link the crime to their ACORN activities, but I’m willing to bet there are more than a few bad apples in ACORN. The same can be said about NAACP members. The same goes for the AARP. For as long as 0’s Fascist government and the Communist league of liberal organizations are in power, we can expect to have conservative organizations slammed at every turn, for every reason, especially when someone linked to a conservative cause gives the state controlled media a sensational event.
