Easy There, Larry

The usually reliable and insightful Larry Kudlow has gone off the rails on the port deal:

Make no mistake about it. What is going on right now on television news channels, newspapers and the Internet is simple. It is called Islamophobia.

Kudlow should be able to take his shots at xenophobes without suggesting that people concerned about the deal’s oversight are racists. If the due diligence was sound (and I believe a second round will show that it was), let the arguments lead the undecided to that conclusion. No kicking should be necessary.
