70% of Arizona voters agree with new immigration legislation signed into law on Friday. But, not Al Franken or Barack Obama. And, New York City’s Al Franken says he’s ready to organize protests and commit civil disobedience over the new Arizona immigration law. The New York Post reported, via Free Republic:

The Rev. Al Sharpton says he will challenge Arizona’s new immigration bill in court and on the streets.

Sharpton is joining Lillian Rodriguez Lopez from the Hispanic Federation to announce a legal challenge to the bill. They say activists are also prepared to commit civil disobedience to fight the Arizona immigration bill.

How about we are so screwed

Defeatism and negativity are not available options.

"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." - Thomas Paine

“Recommend “civil disobedience” somewhere besides Arizona, Rev”

Pssst—only liberals are allowed the right to civil disobedience. The right is not allowed to even have the freedom of speech without being charged with sedition.

Jan Brewer’s chief aide already had a molitov cocktail thrown at his house a couple weeks back.

You’re a little LATE, Uncle AL. Your thug buddies have been throwing bottles at cops all day!!!

Actually, I want Al Sharpton to shoot his mouth off as much as possible, between here and November.

It can only HURT his cause for him to get TV face time!

I hope Sheriff Joe has a pair of pink undies in his jail big enough to fit Sharpton’s fat, race-baiting black ass.

Ping!

[Mears]

Aaaah,shut up,Al.

[ab01]

Really not a big surprise. Sharpton is considered to be obama’s connection to the street. Both are just race thugs.

[Feckless]

...and we’re ready to beat your b.... a..

In Phoenix, Sharpton will be a black “interloper,” to use his own word against him.

tat would be greasy headed b....a....

Ok...where's the clinton posse that wanted to arrest people for what they "might do"? Here's Al Sharpton - case example for frontal lobotomys - promising "civil disobedience"...and from clinton....crickets".

But the law was passed, 70% of the people are FOR it, and they didn't even have to resort to "reconciliation" to get it passed.

Let them march, but the first punch that's thrown, the first window broken, or the first car overturned, call in the storm troopers with tear gas and rubber bullets. Nip it in the bud.

Standing up against tyranny has got to start somewhere, or no one has any future in this country, but the tyrants.

[the bill] ... requires police to question people about their immigration status — including asking for identification — if they suspect someone is in the country illegally

Does that mean the Arizona State Police will be requird to question Obama the next time he comes in-state?

Bring it on, Al. I’m ready to defend myself - tenfold.

First rule thing about getting in a fight is to know who you are fighting.

Al Sharpie is picking a fight he will regret picking

As normal dem-o-rat are overstepping

[gthog61]

Okay, I am having a hard time keeping up.

Protest and dissent are noble again?

[IronJack]

Al Sharpton is ready to commit civil disobedience if his pizza is five minutes late. His protests are meaningless.

“Al Franken says he’s ready to organize protests and commit civil disobedience”

Throw Franken’s diapered ass in jail.
