Via Think Progress: The Idaho Statesman reports:

A Boise State University student group has angered area Hispanic leaders and others by promoting a speech about immigration with a "food stamp drawing" that requires climbing through a hole in a fence and offering fake identification for a shot at winning dinner at a local Mexican restaurant.

The group in question is the local chapter of the college Republicans. OK, I got to hand it to them, this is a more creative twist on the typical xenophobic "catch an illegal immigrant day" event that we've previously reported. 

My question is this: they pull these stunts to get liberals outraged and get media attention--and it works--so is it good for them because they're setting the agenda, or good for progressives because it makes them look crazy?
