    I keep thinking it's 1960, not 2010.

    Back in 1960, racists used all sorts of hysterical rants against blacks, "They are going to rape all the white women!"

    I never heard that claim other than from idiots like you.

    Today, Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona makes up all sorts of wild stories about "Mexican gangs beheading people" to justify her pandering to the supporters of the Juan Crow law.

    A state law that is almost word for word the same as federal immigration law is
    "Juan Crow?"

    The USDOJ case against the AZ law is about federal "preemption" of immigration law. Where do you get this silly "Juan Crow" nonsense?

    Back in 1960, civil rights workers were regularly sniped at, many times fatally.

    And here you parrot the silly notion that enforcing illegal immigration law is somehow the same as the civil rights struggle of the 60s.

    Today?

    YUMA, Ariz. (AP) -- Authorities say a bullet apparently was fired into an office of a Democratic congressman who has been an outspoken opponent of the state's immigration law.

    The apparent bullet hole was found in a window Thursday in the Yuma office of Rep. Raul Grijalva (gree-HAHL'-vuh).

    The discovery came on the same day that vocal immigration protests were held in Arizona. A judge a day earlier delayed most of the controversial new law from taking effect

    Yuma police are investigating to determine whether the bullet discovery is related to immigration.

    Grijalva called for a national boycott of Arizona after the law was passed in April. He reversed course after the judge's ruling.

    So, you try to use this isolated incident in an attempt to make a point. What do you say about the rancher who was shot and killed by an illegal. The rancher
    did nothing but try to help Mexican cowboys to cross the boarder for work and often aided those crossing his land illegally by giving them food and water.

    What do you have to say about the Pinal County deputy who was shot and left for
    dead (luckily he was able to radio for help) by drug smuggling illegals?

    The LA Times story made no connection between the Yuma incident and the 1960s, that was you. You will have to explain how trying to protect AZ citizens and the poor Mexicans being taken advantage of by "coyotes" and drug gangs is anti-civil rights.

    Take your time, you'll need it.

    An "apparent bullet hole" becomes a "bullet discovery," and the idiot who spammed the story doesn't get why this makes him - and the rookie writer of
    the story - look like fools.

    We are blessed with stupid enemies.

    The rookie writer at the LA Times didn't try to make the connection to the 1960
    civil rights struggle. Ar-Kay did that.

    Indeed we are.
