Top 10 dumbest things said about the Arizona immigration law

Washington Examiner ^ | May 1, 2010 | Byron York

[Kaslin]

The last few days have seen an extraordinary outburst of criticism of Arizona’s new immigration law.  In the nation’s elite media outlets, its most respected commentators are portraying the law as an act of police-state repression.  Many, if not all, of the specific criticisms can be refuted simply by reading the law itself, but others are more generalized criticisms of immigration enforcement.  In any event, it’s hard to choose the most over-the-top and wrongheaded commentary on the law, but here are ten choices, in no particular order.  (If you don’t know why a particular statement is wrong, you can check here, and here, and here, and here.)

1. “The statute requires police officers to stop and question anyone who looks like an illegal immigrant.”

– New York Times editorial

2. “As the Arizona abomination makes clear, there is a desperate need for federal immigration action to stop the country from turning into a nation of vigilantes suspicious of anybody with dark skin.”

– Dana Milbank, Washington Post

3. “I can’t imagine Arizonans now reverting to German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques whereby people are required to turn one another in to the authorities on any suspicion of documentation.”

– Cardinal Roger Mahony

Excellent!

When all they have is lies and taunting they have already lost.

I thought so.

I know this wasn't one of the dumbmest things said:

Calling Arizonans Nazis is the very height of hypocrisy.

On fact, the people who are calling Arizonans Nazis are bullying liberal fascist extremists themselves.

[NoLibZone]

"reverting to German Nazi "a Liberals are right with this comparison.

The situation is a lot like Nazi Germany.

Mexico is Germany invading and Arizona is the Sudetenland.

Hispanics are practicing Anschluss.

Indeed, and you know liberals always accuse others of the exact same thing they do, or say

[historyrepeatz]

That's dumb?

This is reason #1:

That is by far the best sign ever.

OCHLOCRACY: (Greek: οχλοκρατία or okhlokratía; Latin: ochlocratia) or mob rule is government by mob or a mass of people, or the intimidation of constitutional authorities. As a pejorative for majoritarianism, it is akin to the Latin phrase mobile vulgus meaning "the fickle crowd", from which the English term "mob" was originally derived in the 1680s.[1] United States Citizenship is a PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT. LEGAL IMMIGRATION FOR ALL, ILLEGAL FOR NONE.

great sign

From the Leftwingtard perspective it's more like the Anschluss involving AUSTRIA, not Bohemia and the Sudetenland.

Why is it everybody's always forgetting Austria? What is it, they are irrelevant or something? My goodness, Hitler was from Austria!

LOL!

By the way, don't you love how every one of these 10 dumbest dummies live nowhere near the border and far away from any situation where they have to deal with what Arizonans have to deal with daily.

Every single one of these 10 dummies ought to be assigned a 12 foot wide path for 12 miles along the border between Arizona and Mexico where they have to pick up trash and actually deal with the consequenses of illegal crossing.

Each will be issued a water bottle, a nightstick and a whistle to signal for help.

Sounds perfect
