Thought you might be amused by a different take on the bigotry in that article. Found it on PfP.

>>But then Helprin does what too many conservative intellectuals are wont to do: He takes cheap shots at the grassroots activists who support border security (like the Minuteman Project), calling them "a febrile militia of Willie Nelson look-alikes" and accusing them of "polluting" the immigration debate with nativism, racism, xenophobia, and protectionism. These are outrageous remarks that you would expect from The Nation or Daily Kos, not from someone who was a speechwriter for Bob Dole and who strongly supports the Republican Party.<<
