Frank Mickadeit On Minutemen - Kingfish Gets A Mention
http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/news/columns/article_1683498.php
Reaction to my two-parter on the Minutemen brought the usual flood of anti-immigrant bile, but also brought some clarification from the Minuteman known as "Kingfish." He is actually Britt Craig of Lake Forest, and he says Minuteman Max (or anyone else) should not expect to see Jim Gilchrist down at the border. Gilchrist, Craig says, had told his followers "he was going to focus on internal enforcement and political issues" and turn over border operations to others. Fair enough. … Another pro-Gilchrist type, however, mistakenly wrote on their Web site that "after (Minuteman) attorneys put the newspaper on notice for malicious defamation, columnist Frank Mickadeit put his venom-pen away." They have been misinformed. As they do with their sidearms, I always keep my venom pen right where I can reach it.
