re: #387 Charles

Huh?

Mark Potok says very clearly in that clip that he does not think Lou Dobbs is a racist. Did you miss that part?

However, some of the people he has on his show are indisputably racists.

Immigration seems to be one of the core topics over at the VDARE site. It’s easy to figure out why: illegal immigration is a hot-button issue for lots of people, and it’s easy to exploit outrage over illegals and nudge it toward outrage over people who are a little too…dark for VDARE’s taste. It isn’t immigration VDARE cares about; it’s all those less-than-white immigrants that troubles them, and they’re hoping to tap other’s outrage and exploit it for their own purposes.

There are reams of such crap over there. It’s sickening.

Malkin was off on the same nut just this morning, with an article trying to whip up outrage over illegal immigrants purchasing homes in the US and the banks lending to them - neither of which is at all illegal, as you don’t have to be a citizen to either purchase real estate or to qualify for a mortgage. But Malkin’s typically disjointed screed wasn’t concerned with facts. It was aimed at drumming up outrage.

Oddly, for Malkin, the article was pulled by mid-morning. I wonder if the commotion at Hot Air and the sudden focus on VDARE, her contributions to their site and other revelations of racism within the rightward blogosphere had anything to do with it being yanked?
