The Left wants to destroy Governor Jan Brewer for her support of Arizona’s immigration enforcement law. In a column provocatively titled “The Governor Who Hates Her State,” Daily Beast senior editor Bryan Curtis has hit upon a novel line of attack: she’s being mean to Arizona!
Taken together, Brewer’s speeches, campaign commercials, and Fox News appearances offer a stern rebuke to anyone who thinks Arizona is a tranquil place. Arizona, Brewer told Fox, is a “battlefield.” It is the “drug corridor of the world,” she said later. Phoenix—home to four pro sports teams and a well-regarded Trolley Museum—is “our nation’s kidnapping capital,” according to a Brewer campaign ad.
Brewer has been a relentless chronicler of Arizona’s “porous” border with Mexico, which she said allows a daily “invasion” by undocumented immigrants. Who are the undocumented? The “majority” are “drug mules,” she said, others are “human traffickers,” and still others may carry “big, strong, dangerous guns, AK-47s.”
[…] Native Arizonans contacted by The Daily Beast were surprised the governor wasn’t extolling tourist meccas like Tombstone Ranch and Sedona’s yuppie playground. No, Brewer prefers to tout Arizona’s “drop houses, kidnapping, auto accidents, extortion, drugs, the spillover with the drug cartels.” Want to hike among the Bighorn sheep in the Sonoran Desert? Careful, lil’ partner—Brewer has said there are “bodies in the desert either buried or just lying out there that have been beheaded.”
Yeah, I just can’t figure out why Brewer wouldn’t bring up tourist spots in a discussion about illegal immigration…weird, huh? (Then again, Curtis does have Linda Ronstadt on his side, so what do I know?)

Maybe she should call them “undocumented tourists”?....................
lots of little blogs out there run by idjits with their heads up their respective fundaments....
I try to keep my vitriol for MSM outlets that people actually read.
HOORAY Calvin Freiburger! Great article, great college.
I bet Curtis is a fan of our POTUS who hates our whole country and is mean to all of America and Americans.
The sad thing is that more and more people are reading The Daily Beast. It’s already nearing the top 2.000 sites worldwide on Alexa. That’s... big. Hot Air - the biggest conservative blog (with, what, 500.000 - 1 million views a day?) - is not even in the top 3.500 yet.
Perhaps Bryan would like to camp along the Arizona border for awhile before he opens his yap.
A good offense is a good defense. The only way the Left can continue its war on humanity is to keep the Right on defense.
what about FR?
The Daily Beast is a cesspool. I don’t know why anyone goes there, swimming in that filth can’t be good for you.
Ping!
So, this is a story excerpted from a blog commenting on a story about a questionable poll taken by another blog?
And posted as News?
I have friends from college who I still keep in touch with...1 is a mostly marxist...he often quotes the MSM but disavows them as Capitalist scum...and gets around it by saying that even the capitalist scum in the media agree with my POV....so yours must be REALLY OUT THERE
the MSM like common dung beetles....wander aimlessly, head in the sand....moving backward...while pushing their crap and hoping it sticks to something..... © Vaquero 2010
