<p>Stickershock, I’m aware that Heather MacDonald is a bright rightwing nutjob. So is Anne Coulter. I’d give props to Rush Limbaugh for skill and savvy, too.</p>
<p>But they’re still rightwing nutjobs. Anyone who is relentlessly in lockstep with the complete far right agenda is a nutjob, as far as I’m concerned. There are leftwing nutjobs as well, of course, and some bright ones also. Intelligence is no vaccine for nutjobbery - far from it.
You find that a balanced, rational examination of the issue? I find it to be paranoid ranting.
“powerful political force?” - immigration lawyers? What is she smoking?</p>
<p>Kluge did not find one written item actually refuting or discrediting Shulman. All his stuff is his personal opinion and interpretation. He did a quick smear job on her with a bunch if opinion and innuendo. He can’t find her detailed bio therefore it is suspect. There is a typo on her website.</p>
<p>I often wonder who some of these many thinktank experts are on NPR too. I’d suspect many of them are small operations with an agenda just like Dr Shulman. Do you Google every one of them?</p>
<p>Every time NPR does a story on immigrants they have on an immigration attorney telling their tale of woe. They seem to have a voice more than their numbers.</p>
<p>I’m very familiar with the Manhattan Institute & CityJournal. The fact that you don’t value the institute or its publications is actually kind of comforting, CGM.</p>
<p>Kluge, it seems that you label her a nutjob simply because you dont agree with her. If you lived in a gang-infested neighborhood maybe you’d have some understanding of how those folks are ignored because the racial/immigration issues tied up in the mess are a political third rail. Immigration lawyers DO have powerful lobbying organizations, by the way.</p>
