BVBL blogger Greg Letiecq is getting some loves from his Mother Jones:
She later told me Help Save Manassas was closely aligned with the local Republican Party and had taken up the issue of illegal immigration as a matter of political convenience. “It used to be gays. Now it’s illegals. They’re just looking for ways to scare and divide people.” The real issue that Letiecq and his supporters have with the immigrants “is only that they’re not quite white.”
Letiecq—who derailed Democratic General Assembly candidate Jeff Dion by revealing he’s gay, is being sued for defamation by former gop House of Delegates candidate Steve Chapman, and now promotes a blog that impugns Chapman’s attorney Fasail Gill as a “terrorist”—insists he is equally opposed to illegals from Canada or Sweden. Regardless, mobilizing the community is too important to worry about offending people’s sensibilities. “Around here, numbers is the game,” Letiecq said. “We’re building a grassroots movement, an issue-advocacy, membership-based organization. We’re trying to get really big, really fast.”
Don’t know what’s funnier. The fact that Mother Jones is so out of touch with reality, or that they probably wrote an article Greg will be handing out to friends for years to come.
I mean, when you get blasted by Mother Jones… man, you’ve arrived.
