Denver Post, a liberal rag

The Denver Post editors supported John Kerry for president and our duplicitist Senator Ken Salazar. They believe Ward Churchill has a right to bash the US while teaching young college mush minds. The Post once wrote a story about a *poor illegal immigrant who was refused in-state tuition at CU even though he had graduated from a Colorado high school. The Post refuses to call illegal immigrants " illegal." Instead they're referred to them as undocumented workers.

But wait, some how during my surfing I stepped through the looking glass. Lo and behold, I 'm reading an oped by David Harsanyi in the Post that make sense. He attacks the "Theocracy Card." Harsanyi's opinion may not be the editor's opinion, but its a welcome relief from the Post's left leaning elitist views. (must read) http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36~31908~2846978,00.html

Carp* The Denver Post ran a front page story about this poor illigal kid's quest for instate tuition and used his name. After reading the story, Representative Tom Tancredo (R-CO) called the immigration authorities to report this kid and his family. Of course the feds didn't do anything as is their policy, but Tancredo's call set off a big battle with the Post.

The Post was embarrassed that they ran the kids name and someone had the gall to complain. Immediately a story appeared about Tancredo's use of illegals to work on his house. Two unnamed "undocumented" workers were quoted in the Post (they could not use the names of the undocumented workers, of course, since when they used the kids name they got him in trouble). Tancredo had hired a general contractor who in turn hired the workers. The general contractor claimed he had all the documents to prove his workers were legal, but the Post stuck it to Tancredo with "unnamed" sources.
