Connie Mack compares Ariz. law to Nazi Germany

[live free or die]

I'm not who you think but I do find it amusing that this forum can't enforce it's own borders and you complain yet don't care that your country can't and instead encourage it.

I find it amusing that you think you can compare an internet forum to a nation and a profie to a person's life.

I find it amusing you think I can't. It's not like, you know, just did, or anything like that.

Is that supposed to be witty or something? Because it isn't.

No. It's supposed to be an indisputable fact. It is.

Hmm, I like Mack, most of the time, but I prefer his wife Bono Mack. She's alright for a Riverside Republican.

I think it's hilarious how tea partiers can be so paranoid about big government but be completely comfortable with it being illegal to not carry proof of citizenship or legal residency any moment a police officer may suspect something of you. 

Tea partiers are fine with it, I presume, because they realize that this law will only apply to those people who look Mexican wear the same kind of shoes that illegal immigrants might wear.

Because of the (supposed) racial profiling restrictions, I presume this law will mostly be used to crack down on illegal immigrant behavior -- that is, day labor. And, of course, the people who hire them.

Indeed, I saw an article to that effect on Day Labor.


It sounds like someone is gearing up to run against Bill Nelson.

Supporting the defense of the border doesn't equal love of big govt. Its actually a constitutional responsibility! And fezzy, I thought you were above the petty godwins law crap.

Hitler and Nazi comparisons just make one look stupid.

Only when they're thrown around with no reason.  Connie Mack's comparison makes perfect sense.  I take anything Holocaust related extremely seriously, but I can't find anything inappropriate about what he said.  It is reminiscent of the kinds of things Germany started implementing during that time and that's what we should be upset about.

Of course, she intentionally wants Hispanics to fear persecution that won't really happen.

BTW, does anybody else see the blatant hypocrisy here? The Democrats rail against using fear as a political tactic, yet everybody, including the President himself, is using fear here.

This is not a defense of the border, it's a direct attempt to target Hispanic people in a way similar to what the Nazi's did in Germany.  Just because 90% of Nazi comparisons are unwarranted doesn't mean they always are.  It's a legitimate comparison.

Who is "she"?

Mack is a Republican.  So are Tom Tancredo, Marco Rubio, Lincoln Diaz-Barlart, Karl Rove, Jeb Bush, Joe Scarborough, Lindsey Graham, and Meghan McCain who all oppose the law as well.

TOM TANCREDO of all people came out against the law? WOW WOW WOW.

Why?? It didn't go far enough and allow on the spot deportation?

Arpaio doesn't look like a Nazi, but that Brewer person does.
