Democrats have perfected the art of using sympathetic public figures to argue for positions most Americans reject, then accusing critics of mean-spiritedness when they disagree.
Lord don't we know it! How many years now have we been seeing this play out over and over again on the illegal immigration issue? How many children have we had paraded in front of us crying for their poor deported illegal alien papa? How many stories about poor illegal aliens being forced to seek sanctuary in churches? Well, I won't bore you any further because the list is long, very long This is a frequent tactic used by the liberal media and liberal politicians.
