The Anchoress wrote about Illegal Immigration absolutes again. And of course, the absolutes got real offended about being called "bigot" or "racist."
They hated the term "hardliners" and "one note".
Me think they protest too much.
The vile racist rhetoric was all over the place...I am sure that each one of those PRINCIPLED people stood up and told these racists to keep their KKK sounding sound bites out of the discussion. I am sure that every single time some person expressed the opinion that some kind of guest worker plan was necessary and was called a Bush lap dog and Mexican loving anti-American, men of principle rushed to fight for that person's right to disagree. And calls were called for fences on BOTH borders and intolerance for White Canadian illegality was just as vehement as for those Mexican law breakers.
In fact, wasn't there a call for an apology for telling born and bred AMERICANS of Mexican ancestory to "go back home" and cries of outrage when all kinds of diseases were attributed to "those Brown people"?
No? Then perhaps what the absolutes are hearing is their conscience...knocking on that part that knows that there are two ways of doing wrong...the actual act and the silence that permits it.
