Shep Smith calls AZ immigration law the "breathing while Latino law," says it "sounds a lot like the old 'driving while black' law"

Some intellectual honesty on Fox? Who would have thunk it!

Shep is obviously playing the race card

I propose a trade: Shep Smith (and crew) for the entire cast of Morning Joe including Pat Buchanan. That would complete Fox's "right wing rhetoric collection" and bring some more balls (Dylan Ratigan only counts sometimes) to MSNBC's afternoon lineup.

He makes it hard to dislike EVERYONE over there at fixed noise. Good job Shep...Fair and Balanced every once in a while at least:)

wow. This must be a fox first

Everyone should read the article by Greg Palast on this issue at Democratic Underground. This issue is not about illegal immigrants. Instead it is about LEGAL Hispanic Americans voting Democratic. This may be a form of voter intimidation to boost NeanderCon chances at the polls this November. If you are Brown and registered you may want to think about who you want to vote for this fall very carefully!

Yes, laws that promote racial profiling and racism do lead to losses in support among minority voters. Rethugs like the governor should have thought about this a little harder before putting ink to paper. This is not a liberal issue or even a democrat issue, this is a civil rights issue. And one must recall that the civil rights movement did not rise solely out of democratic or republican voters but all african americans and many caucasians and other minorities. That is why im surprised more conservatives have not come out in opposition to this bill. I cant stand rubio but im glad he is being moral for once in taking this stand although it will probably hurt him politically, at least he has the sac to say what he feels and know just tout the party line. I would hope other minorities (african americans, jews, muslims, etc) would see the parallels between their historical plights and this law and voice their condemnation for the bill as well.

I'll say it again: Shepherd Smith must have a photo of Rupert Murdoch in bed with another guy.

Doesn't Shep make an astronomical amount of money? Is it possible his contract pays too much to boot him out?

2 quick comments:
1) Carl Cameron quotes Rubio at 1:10, "This will require aliens to carry their documents."

But that's 180 degress wrong. It REQUIRES US CITIZENS WHO LOOK DIFFERENT to carry their documents to stay out of jail. In short, when Rubio travels to Arizona he damn well better be carrying documents or risk arrest.

2) About 30 years ago in my old neighborhood of San Francisco during the "troubles" in Northern Ireland we had a lot of Irish overstaying their visas illegally. Often they had committed violent crime back home and were hiding from the Brits. They were unemployed and committed a fair amount of crime - burglary, robbery, car theft, grand theft, etc. If SF had followed Arizona's lead, BJF would have attracted a fair amount of interest.

Mmmm...refried bean swastikas for dinner tonight!

Believe it or not, but here in my city in Middle GA (home of Erick son of Erick), DWB in some neighborhoods can still get you stopped and detained, and it's been almost 50 years since the Civil Rights Act was passed. This is why I know that there will most likely be some legal residents in AZ that will be stopped and detained.

But wait until FoxNews and Republican Pollsters (i.e. Frank Luntz) come out with the latest poll numbers to show how 70% of Americans "agree" with Arizona's 'racist', un-American Immigration Bill. Polls to the Republican rescue. Wink, wink. LOL.

See, polls are a way to cover Republicans wrong-doings, and the 70% of Americans siding with Republicans will make great tv as Democrats explain why this is. Hee, hee. And, we all know that these FIVE HUNDRED people who were polled represent the American beliefs of over 300 Million people in America, right? Uh, oh. LOL.

Note how Campbell was taken aback a bit when Shep let loose with that "Breathing While Latino" take.

God bless ya Shep!

If you're an Arizona cop does this guy look Latino?
