CNN Democratic Candidates Compassion Forum: no immigration questions
Last night's CNN Democratic Candidates Compassion Forum at Messiah College in Pennsylvania (transcript link) contained no questions relating to immigration. That's despite it featuring questions from Jim Wallis and Samuel Rodriguez [1] of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, and despite the high profile that religious leaders have in promoting amnesty. And, that's despite the fact that those leaders continually engage in false compassion to push their case.
The hosts were Campbell Brown and Newsweek editor Jon Meacham, and sponsors were Faith in Public Life, the ONE Campaign, and Oxfam America.
Previous coverage of the CNN "debates" starts at the last link.
[1] See the stock editorial "SAVE Act perpetuates, rather than reforms, our immigration policy" (link) "Expressions of hatred and xenophobia toward immigrants, at an all-time high, are producing widespread fear in the Latino community. Unfortunately, the echo of a hate-filled climate is now making its way through Congress..." etc. etc.

Buy Guns.
