SEATTLE (AP) -- A Washington state lawmaker said Sunday he was just engaging in some sports trash talk when he called the state of Arizona a ''racist wasteland.''
**SNIP**
''If folks are going to take that too seriously, then I'm sorry about that,'' Fitzgibbon said.
Still, Fitzgibbon said people in Washington state ''have not appreciated'' how Arizona has treated immigrants, particularly citing a 2010 immigration law that was subject to a legal challenge from the federal government. He said Arizona leaders need to look at changing laws that he believes amount to racial profiling.

And Arizona's law mirrored federal law, which Ubama refuses to enforce.
I’m pretty sure Washington state is far more homogeneously WHITE than AZ is.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
....he probably knows he’s a one term moron
I don’t even take these people seriously any more. It’s just funny. They are powerless. It makes their lunacy kinda quaint.
Fitz means illegitimate, and a gibbon is one of the lower apes (not as intelligent as chimpanzees) - that is all we need to know. So tell the bastard ape to shut up.
Sooo, I say to Arizona , start busing your illegals to Washington state....
Desert racist wasteland. Phooey!!!!

Merry Christmas, you all!!!! Christ is Born! Glorify Him!!!!
“Racist” is one of those terms slung around loosely, without regard to the actual facts of the situation.
To claim that a person is being “persecuted” when caught in the act of committing some crime, be it mischief, misdemeanor, or felony, and to further claim that the reason for the detainment was because of one factor and one factor only, that the ethnic origin of the detaining officer somehow differed from that of the alleged perpetrator, is a blatant attempt to avoid just and deserved punishment. Justice is blind and all that, but should not be subject to politics or whim, at which time it ceases to be justice.
Arizona is part of the Mojave Wasteland!
And patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter!
As usual, they have to scream racist when they are the racists.
Just another hater trying to point out what he sees as hate for others..... What a maroon........
A typically fully-prepared democrat representative.
I suspect that WAS already has more illegals than Arizona, given the high levels of agriculture there. Originally, many of them were migrant harvesters. Then they decided to stay.
LOL!
Try the Sonoran (Desert) wasteland. Much prettier than the Mojave IMO.
Those tolerant liberals again...
Another slobbering fool using the one sided political correctness motif to impugn others without penalty.
We have a lot of cancers down here, notably John McCain and his fiendish Republican cabal, but this two bit loser is just auditioning for “Meet the Press” or expert status on CNN.
