I've left a few comments at Cooper's blog but for some reason he hasn't responded. Perhaps because he has no answer. I visited Tombstone during my Blogging Across America tour and spoke with Simcox. He told me the same things that he probably tells every other reporter and that he probably told Cooper as well. Those apparently didn't make it to Cooper's report, and if they had "liberals" might be a bit conflicted. Simcox told me a) his son is black and b) he was also employed as the school's diversity coordinator when he worked as a teacher in L.A. There's the possibility that he didn't tell Cooper that, but I tend to doubt it. Cooper wrote nothing more than a sleazy hit piece reminiscent of Hearst Corporation's glory days. As for the larger issue, I wonder why "liberals" are so eager to support President Bush and the big corporations that profit off illegal immigration. I have no doubt that TL and Cooper are not corrupt and are just ideologically confused. However, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some of the "liberals" who support illegal immigration are doing so because they have a financial stake in the matter.
