Thank you for the nice comments. I don't think Spencer should associate with known racists. On the other hand, being such a high profile person on the immigration issue, isn't it better that he does meet with them and urge them to use non-racists tactics to achieve the proper results. I know I'd rather someone reason with them than to have some loon squad go to the border and shoot a group of illegals to make a statement. I'm sure you'd agree.

Look, we are going to have stupid folks come here and make racist violent comments. We will have them removed and folks will out the comments for what they are. No matter how much I may detest those comments, no matter how much you hate those comments, the detesting cannot be used as a reason to silence rational discussion on the subject.

We have a serious problem. I hate like heck that it involves to a high degree a certain ethnic group of people. It does, we have to deal with it anyway.

I apprecite your willingness to understand that I do not condone racism or calls to violence, except in self-defense. And I appreciate that you now realize that Glenn doesn't condone that stuff either. I'm not going to state emphaticly that Glenn has never made an intemprate statement. Overall I believe him to be a person who is trying to address a serious problem, in a rational manner.

Glenn used spend a significant amount of time helping the Hoppi (sp?) indians on the reservation. My grandfather used to drop in and help out there too. I don't think Glenn is a racist. I do think he's about as disgusted as I am at the current situtation.

Take care.

I would tend to disagree there - I can see your point, but it can also give your opponents a club to hit you with, which IMO can more than eliminate any practical advantage of trying to get folks like Taylor to change their ways.

Fortunately, I figure the AR guys are too lazy and stupid to go to the bother of bushwhacking about Southern Arizona to try and apprehend illegals. Takes a bit more of a man to attempt that...
