Well, this is what happens when you don’t stand up to people like Mark Potok until he’s sniffing under your own door. I’m afraid many in the Conservative and Republican movements did nothing to stop this sort of virulent allegation mongering until it hit close to home. Those who stood by silently as the SPLC, the ADL, the SCLC, CAIR, GLADD, the HRC, La RAZA and other groups insinuated their agenda into criminal justice and the schools shouldn’t feign surprise as they turn from those superannuated and fiscally tapped out arenas to target people who merely express different political views from their own.
We’ve allowed these folks to pummel schoolchildren and warp the notion of equal treatment for all for crime victims for more than a decade now (while charging us for the favor). Why wasn’t their behavior an urgent issue until a handful of conservative pundits got singled out?
