Emerging Anti-Tea Party Line: Lack of Opposition to Arizona Proves Rac

Comments on two Sunday shows reflected an emerging new liberal line of reasoning, which uses the lack of opposition to Arizona’s new immigration enforcement law, as a means to discredit conservatives and Tea Party activists as hypocrites and/or racists.
