Rhetorical flourish of the day

Check out Michelle Malkin's column (link in title) decrying open borders advocates and their opposition to stricter immigration-law enforcement. I agree that we need stricter enforcement and tighter controls on immigration; Malkin tends to be nearly a closed-border advocate, which is too far down the isolationist path for me. Nonetheless, she makes some good points.

But what really got me in her piece were these two rhetorical flourishes: (1) "Political correctness is the handmaiden of terrorism;" (2) calling the "open borders lobby" the OBL.

Subtler than Ann Coulter . . . somewhat.
