If you want to gauge how important an issue is to the Left, the best indicator is to observe how it reacts when the issue is raised. Last Friday, Ralph Peters (Lt. Col., USA, retired) penned a column for Front Page in which he opined that extending voting rights to eleven million illegal immigrants currently residing in this country would be a disaster for America. In response, Terry Krepel, a member of George Soros’ steno pool Media Matters, penned an outraged response slamming Peters for raising such a ridiculous, inflammatory issue. How dare he!
Ralph Peters doesn’t actually need anyone coming to his defense. He’s a real American hero who spent ten years in military intelligence defending this nation in ways that journalists like Terry Krepel could not imagine. Legendary novelist W.E.B. Griffin has singled Peters out as one of the “new breed” protecting our nation, who – in Griffin’s words – wrote the best analysis of our war on terror that Griffin has ever read. But, whatever Griffin, me or anyone else thinks of Ralph Peters’ service record doesn’t matter much to the Left. They’re not going to treat him as a worthy adversary with whom they might disagree. They’re going to fight back using any means at their disposal, employing the very tactics that they accuse conservatives and libertarians of using: invective, distortion and hyperbole.
To that end, Media Matters tries to make the case that Peters is a racist, extremist, blood-thirsty lunatic.

Libs aren't usually that fancy...they usually just lie. Who needs fact when you own the vast majority of the media?
“employing the very tactics that they accuse conservatives and libertarians of using: invective, distortion and hyperbole”
This is their MO.
Why don’t we just let the rest of the world vote in our presidential election? That would simplify things. We could hand over the keys to the country to a world which mostly despises us, and that would make Obama and pals happy. All those illegal aliens wouldn’t have to bother breaking our laws by sneaking in. They could remain in their ‘home’ countries and enjoy the benefits of our labors, which they believe they deserve by right of...uh...oh, well, we certainly don’t deserve the freedoms of this country. They do. My skin is crawling because this is not a screwball notion in elitist circles. It’s the reason they get out of bed every morning.
Col. Peter’s writings have always been patriotic, well written and hard hitting. He’s everything liberals despise.
This is a man deserving of our admiration.
