Arizona Governor Implies That Boycotters Are Drug Addicts

Gov. Jan Brewer signed a racist bill in order to curry favor with Republican voters who were considering replacing her with the even more racist Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

After she made the bill a law, she seemed surprised that a national boycott began immediately.

Normally the governor of a state which just had 15,000 hotel room-night cancellations in the first week of a boycott would try to assuage boycotters. Instead, Not Jan. She just insulted us.

This is what she said yesterday:

In an interview Friday morning with Channel 12 News (KPNX), Brewer again called the boycott threats “unfortunate” and criticized bill opponents for encouraging “hysteria.”

“I think they should call for boycotting drugs, from all the drugs that are coming into Arizona,” Brewer said…

As though we were a bunch of drug addicts.

Sorry Jan, but I don’t use illegal drugs. And I’m guessing that the readers of this blog are substantially less likely to be stoners than, let’s say, the average Jan Brewer voter who doesn’t understand why the rest of the country is so upset about this law.

But if you want to assume that most boycotters are Latinos.

And that most Latinos are druggies.

Then I guess that your insults follow the same racial profile as your law.
