Good news: Top Democrats wearing bracelets protesting Arizona law now
Hot Air ^ | May 21, 2010 | Allahpundit

Someone on Twitter told me you can see Pelosi wearing one here. Problem one: There’s not nearly enough detail to tell for sure. Problem two: Er, since when do Arizona protest bracelets exist? I hadn’t heard a word about them, and surely top Democrats wouldn’t be so stupid as to adorn themselves with actual badges of how out of touch they are with popular opinion about immigration.

But guess what.

As part of his general boycott of Arizona — which includes his refusal to fly through Phoenix on his weekly trips to and from Washington — Baca, D-Rialto, is distributing wristbands inspired by the Lance Armstrong LiveSTRONG craze.

Baca put in an order for 2,500 of his version, which will be red, yellow and blue — the colors of Arizona’s flag — to be worn as a show of solidarity against the controversial law…

In Washington, Baca has gotten House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and most members of the Democratic leadership to wear them, as they did — along with golfing legend Chi Chi Rodriguez — at a recent fundraiser for Baca. Baca said his office is fielding calls from people inquiring how they can get one of the wristbands.

“Everyone wants them,” Baca said. “They’re going like hot potatoes.”

what an idiot. Red, yellow and blue shows solidarity with Arizona and its law I want one of those bracelets, too. What this moron should have done was made bracelets that were red, white and green, to show solidarity with all the illegal Mexicans getting deported in Arizona.

LOL! Is he not a native speaker of English? I don't think "hot potato" is the image he intends -- though probably appropriate! ;-)

70% of Americans support Arizona’s law.

Glad to see the Dems remain staunchly anti-law.

Symbolism is a big deal to the Kommie Kids. I remember back in the 90s when the kid hating commie ‘RATS all wore kid stick figure neckties in an effort to convince the ignorant unwashed masses that the ‘RAT Party was a big supporter of “the churldren”.

Is this Congress, or UC Berkley?

It’s hard to tell the difference between those two places anymore.

I’m thinking another state needs to pass a similiar law about now. I can’t think of any other way to properly repay these people then thumb it right back at them by producing a cascade of similiar laws.

Until this happens we’ll just have to make due with the approval ratings of Arizona politicians supporting the law rising and a possible shutdown of California’s energy.

I’m thinking Arizona needs to buy some tanks before Obama sends in the army.

Gov. Jan Brewer’s video at the link (Arizona sing-a-long: Read Immigration Law!) is great!

How about bracelets to protest pro-illegals and dumpocrats?
