McCain blames some Arizona wildfires on illegal immigrants

.... "It's easier to fan the flames of intolerance, especially in Arizona," said Randy Parraz, a civil rights advocate who ran unsuccessfully against McCain as a Democratic candidate in 2010.

Parraz called McCain's remarks "careless and reckless" but not entirely surprising given the political climate in Arizona. The Latino advocate is co-founder of Citizens for a Better Arizona, a group trying the recall the legislator who authored the state's controversial anti-illegal immigration law.

Parraz said McCain "should know better" than to make such an accusation without presenting any facts. ....



Angelo Falcon, the president of the National Institute for Latino Policy, criticized McCain for what he called "increasingly blatant" political opportunism.

"The degree of irresponsible political pandering by Sen. McCain has no limits," Falcon said in an email to CNN. "With the lack of evidence, he might as well also blame aliens from outer space for the fires."

A sign of something, all right. It comes through loud and clear for racists.

Another signal from Johnny 1000-pounders: Remember when McCain spoke on the assassination of President Kennedy? He called it "The intervention in Dallas."

A very clinical choice of words, IMFO.

Gays, adulterers and others get blamed for earthquakes and hurricanes. Using the religious rights pattern of blaming everything on someone is par for the course.

"Stay off my lawn!"

No, go back to Juarez you illegal evil person you...Whispers; "See you next wednesday, don't forget to plant the junipers next to the driveway!"

...after mowing, edging, and blowing off the clippings for incredibly low wages. Don't forget to trim the hedges. Then stay off my lawn!

Is he trying to incite people against undocumented immigrants (or people who look like them)?

picked it up. Anything to start another round of hate.

"another round of hate"?!1 Am I missing the "sarcasm" emoticon?

fires. And if you do not think his remark causes hate then you do not live in a forest area like I do. I am not sarcastic on this one I am tired of the MSM making a big deal out of every little suggestion that someone says regardless of the proof. People start fires - all kinds of people. But they can also be started by dry conditions with high temps. Or lightning. Or a spark from a train going by. Or many other reasons.

Mc5planes used to support amnesty too, didn't he? So political pandering is going on here.
