Amazing what a little research can get you.

I was forwarded an e-mail by a friend that spoke about immigration reform and I thought it was a decent e-mail that touched on several of the same points I discussed on my show this past Sunday. But, like with most of the stuff I do, I did a quick internet search for the author of this letter, and found a controversy that has been circulating worldwide since 2006 on this issue. 

The e-mail states that Rosemary LaBonte sent a letter to the editor of the Orange County Register which they refused to publish, so her husband sent it out and essentially started an immigration reform chain e-mail. The fun part of this is that when you do some searching, you can find people dissecting this letter almost word by word in order to paint this lady as a racist, someone who has no clue, and of course as ignorant because she actually made good points.

The e-mail I got was slightly edited from the original, which had date references to 2006. Any good chain e-mail has to seem fresh, so the dates had to go. So instead of publishing the e-mail itself, which is legit, I will instead give you some links to the relevant information. The only point I want to make here is that the current tactic used when someone disagree with the left's agenda is not new, it has been used and refined over the years. More proof that if they are take the time to belittle something, call the people involved racist, ignorant, or hate mongers, and make fun of them, they don't know how to debate on the facts and are scared of it. 

This kind of tactic has worked before, and until they are shown a majority of us see right past the thinly veiled smoke screen, they will continue to try it. 

Here are the links for you to see what I am talking about.
