The language they can understand

The right wingers just can't help themselves. Here's n email I got yesterday:
LET THIS LIBERAL JEW OWNER PAY FOR ALL THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. STOP DOING WHAT THE DEMOCRATS DO, STICK THE AMERICAN WORKING TAX PAYer WITH THE WELFARE BILL!
Arizona Governor VS: Phoenix Suns Owner
Way to go Jan!! Maybe this is a language he can understand.
Arizona governor vs. Phoenix Suns owner
The owner of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, Robert Sarver, A LIBERAL JEW opposes AZ's new immigration laws. Arizona 's Governor, Jan Brewer, released the following statement in response to Sarver's criticism of the new law:
"What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes of people were sneaking into games without paying? What if they had a good idea who the gate- crashers are, but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed to ask these folks to produce their
ticket stubs, thus non-paying attendees couldn't be ejected. Furthermore, what if Suns' ownership was expected to provide those who sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink? And what if, on those days when a gate-crasher became ill or injured, the Suns had to provide free medical care and shelter?" Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer
Try going to any other country without ID.
That's cute. Except she forgot to mention that security would only be asking everyone who "looked like" a non-paying customer to produce a ticket and if you happened to lose yours you'd be thrown in jail, not just kicked out of the game. Moreover, the people who are sneaking into the Suns games are doing so not to watch the game and get free drinks but to work for very low wages cleaning out the toilets, keeping the grounds, watching the kids and cooking the food, all of which contributes to the concession owners profits, government coffers (they do pay taxes) and the convenience and comfort of everyone who attends the game. Oh, whatever ...
The salient part of this silly message is the part where those who protest they are anything but bigoted call Robert Sarver a "liberal Jew owner." What are you going to do with people like this?
