The uninformed Left continue to misrepresent Arizona's new immigration law by saying it will lead to racial profiling even though it’s explicitly forbidden in the language of the written law.
But, Progressive Liberals do not operate under the rules of reality and facts. Their aim is to stir the emotions of peoples by using false rhetoric to implant a desired perception.
So, they don’t care about telling lies about the law as long as they can get people to believe it’s a go-ahead for racial profiling.
Rush Limbaugh made an excellent point on his radio show yesterday by saying he wished America was a “mass informed” country. But, what it is sadly is a “mass emotionally shaped” country that is swayed by sound bytes instead of a through examination of the facts.
The election of Barack Obama is a classic case study of mass ignorance at work and how dangerous the results can be.
Hopefully Bud Selig can stand firm and not knuckle under the pressure from the lying Left.
From ESPN:
Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is ignoring calls to move next year's All-Star Game from Phoenix because of Arizona's new immigration law.Asked about such demands at a news conference Thursday following an owners meeting, he responded with a defense of baseball's minority hiring record.
"Apparently all the people around and in minority communities think we're doing OK. That's the issue, and that's the answer," he said. "I told the clubs today: 'Be proud of what we've done.' They are. We should. And that's our answer. We control our own fate, and we've done very well."
Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said he wouldn't participate in next year's All-Star Game if it remains in Arizona because of the law, which empowers police to determine a person's immigration status.
The Major League Baseball Players Association condemned the law and Rep. Jose Serrano, a New York Democrat whose district includes Yankee Stadium, sent Selig a letter asking him to move the game.
Selig cited sports sociologist Richard Lapchick, whose annual report from the University of Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports last month gave baseball an A for race and a B for gender hiring. Selig also referenced a lifetime achievement award he received in March from the Jackie Robinson Foundation.
"We're a social institution. We have done everything we should do -- should do, our responsibility," he said. "Privilege to do it. Don't want any pats on the back, and we'll continue to do it."
Leaders of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and 10 other groups on Thursday released a letter in which they ask Selig to not take a position against the state by moving the game.
