Though he’s on the left, so we disagree with Juan Williams on most issues, he’s always seemed like an honest and decent man. So it was pretty shocking to see this blatant play of the race card, full of Al Sharpton style demagoguery. One part stood out as particularly ugly. Williams, reviewing his debate question …

Byron York at The Washington Examiner made a top ten list of the dumbest things people have said about the new law to fight illegal immigration in Arizona. It must have been tough to pick only ten.

“Swampland” is a good name for Time magazine’s blog, as they’ve really crawled down into the mud with this slanderous assertion by Karen Tumulty, accusing the McCain campaign of racism for daring to show two Democrats who happen to be black in the same ad.
