Interesting...

Boze Noze over at Eugene Rant calls for Lars Larson to apologize to Jason Atkinson. Why? Because last week when Lars was beating Jason over the head for his supposed softness on illegal immigration (which led to Lars' bizarre retraction of his endorsement and even-more-bizarre embrace of Ron Saxton), Boze says Lars was reading from a 2-year-old policy statement that the president has since changed.
Lars et al need to do some research on current policy and stop beating Jason over the head with out of date sound bites and press clippings. No wonder Jason was flabergasted, he is looking at the President's current policy of NO AMNESTY and Lars is telling him it is code for amnesty. It was like arguing in English who was answering back in Chinese.
If Boze is right, Lars does indeed owe Jason an apology. However, that would require two things: for Lars to admit he was wrong; and for him to show some humility.

Not gonna happen.

UPDATE: Daniel links to the document here (PDF in link). Guess what? It's dated Jan. 7, 2004. John Kerry was a nobody in the Democratic primaries at that point. Do you think it's possible that the president's immigration policy might have changed a bit since then? I do.

Boze is sounding more correct all the time.

UPDATE #2: For those who say Atkinson isn't answering the question, go read his press release on the issue, which Vonski has reprinted here.
