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