Of course the paleos quoted are quite segregationist in their remarks. But
when one uses (non-ironic) language like this -- "It is hard to read more
than a few of this woman's column's - omnipresent at "movement" conservative
sites like Town Hall - without detecting an agenda: the browning of the
United States, a makeover of this nation's population into people who look
like Linda Chavez" -- then I think "racist dick" is apt. The "browning" of
the US? If only!
