Over at Ankle Biting Pundits Pat Hynes has sparked an interesting/intense debate on immigration policy by basically saying that the absurd rhetoric/actions of warring factions on both sides of the debate is making it difficult to voice support for anything. Who wants to throw their lot in with either side when they’re behaving so poorly? (I can say I certainly feel similar trepidation after the apoplectic emails I’ve received for suggesting we shouldn’t refer to human beings as “parasites” in my McCain column today.) Anyway, Hynes’ post is well worth checking out and the comment string that follows it is disturbing, to say the least, if it stands as a portent of the what sometimes seems inevitable mega-clash ahead.
