Backlash against red, white and green flag wavers

Washington Times:

The waving of Mexican and other foreign flags at rallies across the country to protest proposed tough immigration reforms has created a backlash among conservative lawmakers, talk-radio hosts and others eager to stop the flood of illegal aliens into the United States.
Syndicated radio talk-show host Michael Savage, who has been one of the most outspoken on the issue, even urged listeners to burn the Mexican flag.
"But he says anyone who does that can expect a lot more trouble than they would face if they burned an American flag, since they could easily get away with that," Rep. Tom Tancredo said. The Colorado Republican said he has appeared on at least a dozen radio talk shows in the past few days, including Mr. Savage's, to address the "huge and growing problem" of illegal aliens entering the United States.
Mr. Tancredo said the hosts of all the talk shows he has appeared on have criticized the prominence of Mexican flags at the demonstrations.
For example, he said, Mike Gallagher, a talk-radio host in Los Angeles, told listeners he wants to start a fund on behalf of a young Mexican-American girl who dared to carry an American flag at one such rally and was forced to "duck and run" because of all the animosity she faced from those at the demonstration.
