"Court challenge predicted for Arizona-style bill aimed at illegal immigration" - Page 2

I never used the word Nazi to describe the United States. What I did say is that the kind of xenophobic laws the Nazis initially put into place against the Jews (1930s before the war), look very similar to me to the kinds of things people are suggesting now to deal with Mexicans in this country. The Nazis didn't initially put laws on the books to kill Jews. They instituted a variety of measures that stripped Jews or people married to Jews of civil and human rights, even when they were guaranteed by the Weimar constitution.

Nevertheless, if I were going to draw historical parallels, segregation and anti-black laws in the South seem more appropriate to me--particularly in Georgia's case. But maybe I am wrong there too--maybe you can sweep that under the rug and appeal to Confederate patriotism, and to states' rights like Rick Perry, to suggest I am talking about something that could never happen in America.

And, by the way, I am appalled that you would call what I said hate speech. But I wonder if you would also say calling Obama a Nazi and a Communist in the same breath is hate speech, what one hears on right-wing talk radio daily. Probably not--really just free speech, right? Ditto with referring to fellow American citizens as "anchor babies," something I am sure you would never do because it is hurtful. I guess something only becomes hate speech when a liberal is supposedly playing the "race" card. Nevertheless, if you think these laws are not racist, which is what I did call them (you will notice I did not say "Nazi"), then give your rationale. I promise I won't call it hate speech, even if I think it is.

I agree with Jelly Bean for the most part this election cycle is terrible. Living in Cobb county you meet some of the nicest people, but for every nice person there is a closet racist or misinformed idiot out here that outnumbers them.

Stop! I'm in Cobb too. Small fucking world.

But guys seriously, this worries me so much.

It's bound to happen.. Email Nobama! haha

All we can do is hope that this gets blocked too...

Fuck Arizona for giving the anti-immigration movement even more fuel.
