Roger Ebert Compares Immigration Law to Nazi Germany
Inevitable. And yet somehow I doubt the same lefties who slam Republicans for over-the-top rhetoric will be knocking Ebert back a few pegs for this: Idea for Arizona: Just have them wear a cloth star, easily visible on their topmost outer garment.
