Sun Columnist Ron Smith: ". . . many Republicans, being members of the Stupid Party . . ."

Ron Smith, A Baltimore Sun columnist, has written (April 30 2010) that the new Arizona immigration law is "rational." But Ron neglected to mention that the Republican State Senator who introduced the bill, complained in an e-mail to his supporters about "a world in which every voice proclaims the equality of the races."

GOP Senator Russell Pearce went on to assert that the Holocaust never happened ("the Jewish 'Holocaust' tale") and decried "non-White aliens" entering the US.

(For the Pearce e-mail, see www.RealityChex.com and also the Rachel Maddow Show transcript, posted at:http://www.blogforarizona.com/blog/2010/04/racist-roots-of-russell-pearces-regressive-antiimmigrant-laws.html)

Is the Arizona law rational? or racist? GOP Senator Pearce, who introduced it, has given us his answer.


NOTE: According to Wikipedia's Russell Pierce page, the e-mail in question was an item he forwarded to a lsit of his supporters, before he had read it completely, and that he promptly apologized for it, saying: "Ugly the words contained in it really are. They are not mine and I disavow them completely. Worse still, the website links to a group whose politics are the ugliest imaginable." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Pearce


NOTE 2: Sen. Pierce has introduced legislation in the AZ Senate which is aimed at disbanded Mexican American and Black student groups, on the theory that university students should be prohibited by law from creating or joining groups that are based wholly or in part on the race of their membership, such as the Black Business Students Assoc or the Mexican American study program.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Pearce
