GOP Candidate mistakes YMCA bus for migrant children

watch his face when reporter tells him they were YMCA Camp kids IDIOT

http://www.azcentral.com/story/brahm-resnik/2014/07/15/arizona-politician-mistakes-campers-for-migrant-children/12701279/

Kwasman later told me he saw the migrant children. "I was actually able to see some of the children in the buses. The fear on their faces.... This is not compassion," he said.

But there was a problem with Kwasman's story: There was no fear on their faces. Those weren't the migrant children in the school bus. Those were children from the Marana school district. They were heading to the YMCA's Triangle Y Camp, not far from the Rite of Passage shelter for the migrants, at the base of Mt. Lemmon.

12 News reporter Will Pitts, who is at the protest scene, says he saw the children laughing and taking pictures of the media.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Opportunistic liars, all of them!

That constipated face he makes when he's pretending to seem earnest and "caring" is the best!

The shrug is to imply a sort of good natured resignation to the
nutfuckery that has always been with us.

I just realized we all may have many different interpretations
of the assorted smilies here. For example, if I post this one:

do you think I mean to say that I love you? (this is a question
for smiley educational purposes, and not an affirmation,
especially since I don't even know you.)


Does this have something to do with digging yourself into
a hole with Jesus?

here, and even I love you has different meanings, but I do know a nutfucker when I see one, and there was a boat load of 'em in that despicable display of nutfuckery.

and that is what is so stupid about these protests. Using children to put fear into them... these protesters are the dregs of society that are so brave as to bully children... they can't fight back.

Time to put this politician in jail for abuse.

Big-government-Republicans withdrawing support
from teabag extremists, including palin of wasilla,
and encouraging the media to trash them.

It's a better fit. What a jackass.

He probably wins his race by 10% in Arizona.

when I saw the first Klansman sign out and about. He's running in a fairly progressive area of Tucson/Oro Valley so hopefully, he'll lose.

If you are not a fool it is very hard to get elected in arizona. The gophers would vote for hitler over mother theresa if hitler promised not to raise their taxes! You have all these angry old white racists in sun city who hate every body and every thing especially children! the land of evan mecham and hb 1070 and this year anti gay bigotry bill.
