And the ‘hate’ baiting begins....
Immigration Battle Heating Up: Group Accuses Talk Radio Hosts of Supporting Hate Group
Over 45 of Americas finest radio hosts, according to organizers, have converged on Washington D.C. to hold a conservative event Tuesday and Wednesday in opposition to President Obamas health care proposal and the possibility of immigration reform.
But the events organizer, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, is being denounced by Americas Voice, one of the leading pro-immigration lobbying organizations, as a hate group.
While both groups have long disagreed, and maintain widely divergent views on immigration, seldom have their attacks been so direct.
The FAIR event is a radio-thon called Hold Their Feet to the Fire and its meant to bring true immigration reform activists from across the country together in the nations capital, the group said. It seeks to focus on how best to close the illegal alien loophole in the health care reform bill being considered in the House, it added.
FAIR refers to conservative claims that illegal immigrants would be able to get free health care, paid for by American taxpayers, after President Obamas reform package becomes law. That assertion has been largely debunked by several non-partisan organizations in its latest ruling on the matter, PolitiFact rated it as a half truth.
On Monday, Americas Voice came out blazing-guns style against FAIR in anticipation of its talk radio extravaganza. The featured story on its website read:
FAIR, a designated hate group, is storming DC to lobby Congress this week. Their goal? To block solutions on immigration and other key reforms to sow division and fear with lies about immigrants and the Presidents plans for reform. Americas Voice has launched a video, ads, and easy ways to take action to fight FAIR.
The hate group designation originally comes from the Southern Poverty Law Center, [snip]

The time is now, the action is: Hold Their Feet to the Fire!!
Which is itself a communist front group spewing hate and defamation and accusations of racism routinely against those it attacks without any substantive basis.
