No Way Bove

Every time some dodgy leftist is denied entry into the United States, the anti-Bush websites claim the motive is political. Maybe he would spill the beans about our voting machines, see. Or maybe he once sold short 100 shares of Halliburton. Yeah, that's it.

Here's a fairly typical example, provided by Daily Kos. Kos writes:

French critic of Mosanto [sic] and genetically modified crops is denied entry into U.S. Apparently critics of Big Business are now considered terrorists as well.

Turns out his critic of Big Business is none other than Jose Bove, who has smuggled Roquefort into the United States, destroyed hybrid crops and vandalized a McDonald’s restaurant (The cheese alone argues for immediate deportation). I’m only surprised he didn’t claim Bove was, um, denied entry for being a sheep farmer.
