And now from the department of the absurd

Dallas Blog | Trey Garrison:
“Equating a town choosing to enforce existing laws with a cowardly race-based attack by some white trash teenagers? Or worse, suggesting that the one causes the other? Come on. Call me when the shuttle lands.”
Frontburner's Rod Davis didn't equate the two situations nor did he suggest that one causes the other. He did explain why members of a minority ethnic group may be concerned when a government official, a member of the majority ethnic group, chooses to promote policies that have the effect of dividing a community along ethnic lines. Which is exactly what the recent ordinances in Farmers Branch, Texas, do. Whether by intent or coincidence, the effect is the same. Mr Garrison chooses to downplay those concerns. Guess which ethnic group he's a member of.
