Race-Baiting Smear Tactics Didn't Work This Time

The losers on the left, and even many Republicans like Lindsay Graham (D- South Carolina) and president Bush, thought they would be successfull in their attempt to grant amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens by adopting race-baiting smear tactics. Fortunately it didn't work this time, as explained by Christopher Chantrill in the American Thinker:

As we know, the reason it was possible for "junior Republican senators" to tie "Democratic leaders into legislative knots" was because of the tidal wave of public opinion generated by talk radio and the conservative blogosphere against the bill. And it wasn't just that talk radio hosts whipped up raw emotion against the bill. Many of them had actually read it.
The principal argument advanced by the immigration bill's sponsors was that if you didn't support it, you were a bigot and a nativist. Even President Bush was guilty of this.
In the old days the "you're a bigot" gambit was an argument that could not be answered. The opponents of the bill would have slunk away, shamed and blamed, knowing that they could not win an argument against a guy who owned a printing press, a TV channel, or a bully pulpit.
But no longer.
With conservative talk radio and the blogosphere you can now fight back and win an argument with the media. Above all, you can say things that you are not allowed to say elsewhere in the public square: in the elite newspapers, in the TV news shows, in the newsmagazines, in the women's magazines, and in the universities.
In the early days of talk radio, people would call up the Rush Limbaugh Program in awe, saying: Rush, don't you know that you are not allowed to say that?
People don't do that any more.

Amazingly, some jackasses on the left still think they can get away with race-baiting and use it to effect. Last night watching Fox News Channel I chuckled as I listened to Juan Williams and Mara Liasson claim that the opposition to the proposed amnesty bill was motivated by racism against Latinos. That is patently ridiculous. What is there not to like about Latinos? If European Americans are so prejudiced against them then why do so many of us visit Mexico frequently? Why do so many of us like to eat their delicious food? And why are so many Hispanic Americans opposed to the amnesty, are they prejudiced against themselves?

It's too bad the blogosphere didn't exist back in the 1990s when Clinton was pulling his shenanigans: The unlawful prosecution of Billy Dale, multiple violations of campaign finance laws, jailing people for speaking out against him, renting out rooms in the white house like it was a Motel 6, etc, etc, etc. Clinton would have been toast and his ethically-challenged wife would never have been elected to the senate.
