So...

...George Fwill goes full-wingnut and voices his approval of Arizona's new police state, calling it a "worthwhile experiment".

He concludes thusly:

Arizonans should not be judged disdainfully and from a distance by people whose closest contacts with Hispanics are with fine men and women who trim their lawns and put plates in front of them at restaurants, not with illegal immigrants passing through their back yards at 3 a.m.

To whom is Fwill being more patronizing, "liberals" or Hispanics? Or is it a wash?

Listen up, George: I lived for ten years in New Mexico, a place which has areas where no English is spoken at all and where families have lived for centuries, long before your forebears stepped off the boat from Southampton, you white-bread-and-mayo eating jackass. So don't lecture me.

(Meanwhile, Fwill's cohort, Über-xtian Michael Gerson, is remarkably sensible on the issue.)

ADDED: Meanwhile, both Byron York and his hair go after Gerson and suggests we should just lie back and think of a police state.

How can you not know that Hispanics have lived in states like NM, AZ and CA for centuries -- you'd think city names like, oh I don't know, "Los Angeles" might be a fucking clue. It's been pissing me off that I haven't heard something like this in the discussion at the MSM.

And the bit about "people whose closest contacts with Hispanics are with fine men and women who trim their lawns and put plates in front of them at restaurants" -- project much?

Jesus. Anyone who's lived in a city/state with a decent sized Latino population would know doctors, lawyers, teachers, police, landlords, neighbors, friends who are Hispanic...of course I guess you can avoid them in the rarified air that Georgey Boy occupies.

Perhaps Will hangs out at Georgetown's fabled mercado. ¡Es muy bueno!

Ack! Been arguing about this issue with a troll and a getting-to-be-a-troll at 2pj.

Maria -

It never fails to amaze me how modern conservatives simply refuse to recognize and deal with facts and yet claim to be the only ones in possession of facts.
