Hate Baiters At It Again

The nation's largest Hispanic advocacy group says it must come up with a strategy to combat "a wave of hate" its leaders say came from talk radio's efforts to sink the Senate's immigration bill.

"That had an extraordinary impact in the Senate, and as a nation, I don't think we should be comfortable with the fact that the United States Senate responded to what was largely a wave of hate," Cecilia Munoz, the National Council of La Raza's senior vice president for research, advocacy and legislation, told The Washington Times after meeting with NCLR affiliates to talk about a new strategy.

That has to be the quote of the day. "I don't think we should be comfortable with the fact that the United States Senate responded to what was largely a wave of hate".

Is she kidding? The outcry fromU.S. citizens, whether on talk radio or in calls to their senators, had nothing to do with hate, it had to do with following the letter of the law. Why do people try to confuse the issue? Could it be the fact that, unless they distort the truth and make people believe something that isn't, they can't persude more than a handful of people to support their position?

Ms. Munoz is the one full of hate. She is inciting feelings in people with statements that are simply not true by changing the immigration debate from a legal matter to an emotional one.
