No, it is a demonstration against some very stupid reactionary hyperbole emanating from various groups who are not normally aligned and the "right" has jumped into it with both feet, as they did with Schiavo, Miers, social security and the ports deal.
It makes us all look stupid, and has destroyed the base of the party which will certainly cause reversals at the polls.
Secondly, it simply interlocks with what is normally a day of parties and back yard BBQ's and much of the rest of the country, even without the issue.....
I find the verbal hyperbole and invectives issued against May Day and Mexicans to be stupid, dangerous and apparently a continuation of what is more knee jerking from the right wing. (a once fairly considerate and non-reactionary group of people)
So now you have justified all the silly and debasing things that the left alway tars us with, and this is not a good day, or a good 2 years for the Republican Party as a direct result.
The "Backlash" will certainly be forthcoming and I can't think of a more deserving group of outofcontrol politically ignorant conservatives..
This is not what we are about.
The GOP base wants borders enforced. The majority of Americans want the unchecked reconquista to end. It's a vocal minority that wish to make an issue and demonstrate. It's a vocal minority that wants to ignore constitutionally mandated rules on enforcement of US sovereignty. It's a vocal minority that is using spin to call all of us racists (a joke to say the least).
Am I talking to a WH operative here? George is that you?
