Friday news wrap: an unfolding story

It was interesting to watch a chain reaction of immigration stories this week. Monday's Chicago Tribune reported that Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago will provide sanctuary to an undocumented immigrant, just as it did for Elvira Arellano last year, and like clockwork, Glenn Beck had Adalberto pastor Walter Coleman on for a ritual of disrespect on Tuesday. Wednesday FPL caught wind of an ADL/La Raza/Southern Poverty Law Center web site documenting hate speech by, among others, Glenn Beck, and before we could even blog about it, Beck's show had a guest comparing those organizations to the KKK.

By Friday, the Dallas Morning News and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch were catching on to the web site.

All told, it was a perfect demonstration of why so many Latino voters are moving away from the GOP, which was alluded to, ironically, in Monday's Chicago Tribune.
