...himself seemed unfazed by the remarks, but then Rohe elaborated on her remarks in the Huffington Post, saying she was going to make McCain look like an idiot. McCain's top staffer, Mark Salter, unloaded a fusillade on The Huffington Post, denouncing the mocking students as lacking "one small fraction" of McCain's character and calling Rohe an "idiot" herself. Then Rohe, predictably, wrote a response to Salter. Back in the olden, dead-trees days, Salter might have written an op-ed column, and after a few days Rohe might have responded.

...channels for real change, whether it’s the city officials that declare them, or the all-important activists that fight for them. I was born in Guatemala of U.S. citizen parents. As such, my priority is to the countries where immigrants are from, places where even a fraction of the resources devoted to U.S. immigrants would break the cycles of poverty and instability that so many immigrants flee. Most people, however, are more comfortable working in a national framework. If that means providing more citizenship tutoring or doing other things to improve the lives of immigrants...
