Wow, I Can’t Come Up With a Clever Title At All
A correspondent alerted me to a site on Cafe Press called Sinema’s an Idiot. It’s run by a guy named Buffalo Rick, who is a cowboy comedian, western musician and anti-immigration activist. He adopted the name “Buffalo,” no doubt, to show his credentials as a true Arizonan…even though buffaloes haven’t been native to this area since the close of the last ice age.
Anyhow, the page treats us to this wonderful introduction:
The New American Revolution will expose every lousy, bonehead that has helped put America on the downhill slide into a third world HELL HOLE!
STOP THE MADNESS! STAND UP FOR AMERICA, OR LOSE IT!
Know another Traitor? Contact us at: buffalorick@mac.com to report these slimy bastards!
Wow, more calm reasoned rhetoric from the anti-immigration side. I can’t imagine why anyone would think that this crowd has anything to do with the bizarre threats being e-mailed to Kyrsten Sinema’s office.
Anyway, you can order a coffee mug with the logo “Kyrsten Sinema: Product of a Failed Education System.” Hmm, Sinema is a lawyer, legislator, community leader and talk show host. Yeah, her education certainly failed her. I guess if her parents had school vouchers or something, she could have gotten a career, I dunno, doing puerile comedy and badly performing Tex Ritter songs.
Oh, you can also buy a shirt that says Goofy Gallardo. Really, this is no worse than what his friends call him.
There is also a shirt that calls Alfredo Guitierrez a Nazi. Given some of the rhetoric the underside of the anti-immigration movement engages in, I’d be careful throwing the word “Nazi” around so easilly guys.
And, of course, anti-Hillary Clinton shirts are available. -YAWN-
Say, my brother signs on to these bills that Gallardo and Sinema write that seems to get the dander up of these folks. Where is the love? Or hate, or whatever it is.

Yeah, how come Tom never gets fan mail like this from the mouthbreathing Nazis?
Where is the love?

Zelph-
Yeah, my very question. I noticed that Gallardo and Guitierrez are Latino, and Sinema is an outspoked woman and bisexual, but I’m sure that that has nothing to do with it.
I’m sure you noticed that the article you linked included the term “beaner.” Of course, the author did not mean anything racial by this, I’m sure. There is no racism in the anti-immigration movement.

They mentioned other much worse things. My the level of discourse in this country has changed so little since the days of Andrew Jackson.

Glad you found my site! Fortunately for me, I have carried the name “Buffalo” since 1957! Back when Arizona was still part of America! If you love Mexico and the people so much, take up residency there! I’m sure they will welcome you with open arms! Most likely .45 cal.! We will welcome your departure!

I am fairly certain that there were proportionately more Spanish-speaking people in Arizona in 1957 than now, particularly in places like Tucson.
