No hiding it now

Came across this article, http://www.rawstory.com/2015/09/conservatives-warn-ahmed-mohameds-arrest-was-terrorist-setup-to-make-islamophobia-seem-racist/
this morning and the part that stood out for me was:

"For that, she and the police — who responded responsibly and in good faith, and who had no way of knowing otherwise until they’d had a chance to investigate — are now the subjects of ‘progressive condemnation,” wrote Oath Keeper David Codrea. “As is anyone who believe a prime function of government is to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity, as opposed to flooding the Republic with inimical alien cultures.”

Those the same type of words used by hate groups for decades as their way of spreading hate and xenophobic hysteria.

in even the most innocent gesture of friendship. Pam Geller and those on that panel are seasoned veterans of that sport, so I'm impressed that they've collaborated on popularizing a new, sinister narrative.

Genuinely surprised Mike Huckabee hasn't found a way to see homosexuality in Obama's invitation. (Being that it's a new day, and Huckabee finds a way EVERY day to pontificate about gay sex being EVERYWHERE and gay people subverting and perverting and whatever EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME...)
