A Hill staffer sends us this terrifying, confusing fax that just came in. Some Mexican just goin’ nuts. Complete insanity. What the fuck is this? “Borders are the arbitrary” WHAT? WHAT? Oh! The New Republic‘s Jeffrey Rosen tells us that his legal friends heard from their legal friends who heard from Sally who heard from Stevie that this is clearly the work of that loudmouth Mexican idiot, Sonia Sotomayor.

“Borders are the arbitrary”? This sounds like the work of the WSJ Editorial Board. Is it that time of year again, when they publish their annual call for open borders?
I’d call bullshit, but the sign has none of the spelling and grammar mistakes that mark the work of a Teabagger.
Well, at least she can spell ‘dumbfucks’ correctly.
Wasn’t May 1, 2006 the day when all those Mexicans stopped landscaping our yards, harvesting/cooking our food, and processing our chickens to gather in major urban areas across the country to demand that we cede sovereignty to Mexico and perform daily abortions in honor of our Lady of Guadalupe?
Un dia sin immigrante is like a day without cheap illegal immigrant pickers to make orange juice.
Is that a lucha holding the sign? Viva el Santo!
Hoodie. Use of the word “fuck.” Poor punctuation. Excessive wordiness. Lumping together world-changing events with a lefty protest. Yep, that’s an Anglo, anarchist G-8 protester right there. Sent in by an alarmed Lou Dobbs watcher, no doubt, after stumbling across the image on the kid’s defunct wordpress blog.
As a resident of Aztlan, I for one welcome our new Mexican overlords. Can we haz socialized medicine now? And lotsa grass?
No, no, yer doin it rong. It’s “borders are TEH arbitrary.”
Looks like the Mexicans have finally joined forces with Darth Vader.
Complete sentences are the arbitrary.
I think this person is referring to the “reconquista”, the feeling that overwhelming immigration to the US will restore the losses of Mexico from the Mexican-American War to its “rightful” owners.
Of course I know this because I once overheard two kids discussing the “reconquista” and wondered why we would want Mexico City badly enough to conquer it again. So I asked. They were not amused.
That hooded feegure — ees CHUPACABRA!!! Ayeeeeeeee!!
It’s obviously one of those Dobb-er WASPs. Mexicans aren’t stupid enough to stand there holding a sign like that when they can come to my town and get paid to hold one that has advertising on it.
[re=308473]Lazy Media[/re]: You forgot to include the random historical reference, thrown in because it was most likely mentioned last week in Intro to Comparative Politics.
[re=308475]V572625694[/re]: I hear Aztlan is ice this time of year.
>>“Borders are the arbitrary”
Someone prove him wrong! Go ahead!
i have a similar picture i took with miss california and her enhanced boobs but it was deemed “to racy” for msnbc, and if it’s too racy for them it’s too racy for you! happy bean day!
[re=308490]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Ha ha, you’re laughing now, but after la Reconquista, you’ll have to hablo Español with the rest of us:

Shit. Looks like we could have a tequila-fueled Palestine on our hands. They’re going to start firing pinatas over the Rio Grande and into downtown El Paso.
We stole it fair and square and kicked all the Messicans out. So I guess they want the stolen land back. Can we give them Texas and call it even?
“borders on the arbitrary” would have been a more meaningful footnote.
[re=308497]V572625694[/re]: “The “Return To Aztlan” movement can summed up very easily. It is the enemy encamped within our own borders. They entered our country illegally and now they want to overthrow us. They are like squatters claiming the land they stole as their own. Is it a serious threat to our nation or the subversive drivel of an hate filled minority?”
This is my favorite. He’s totally nailed his description of how we got all that land from Mexico. Wait, he’s talking about Latinos in the US now? Huh. That’d be a hilarious irony.
[re=308475]V572625694[/re]: Hey – when I’m in Shambala we can send each other postcards.
Man, that swine flu thing sure got outa there fast, back to protestin’ and killin’ fer teh drugs, Viva Zapata!
[re=308508]Mad Farmer Manifest[/re]: Rand? Rand Paul? Is that you?
That looks like a poster for Il Anillo, (The Ring in Spanish), also.
[re=308502]Mad Farmer Manifest[/re]: Yes, please! Let them put up with Dr No and the Paultards (hey, I just found a new name for my band!).
BLINGEE CONTEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[re=308473]Lazy Media[/re]: Nah, obvs this was sent in by Lou Dobbs, himself, in his role of agent provocateur.

[re=308514]Prommie[/re]: Too cruel, man, too cruel. I didn’t say anything about buying gold or the evilness of the Federal Reserve.
[re=308521]TGY[/re]: Hmmm. The key question law enforcement must ask is, does the envelope bear orange smudges?
Sonia Sotomayor is PUERTO RICAN. Actually, she was born in the Bronx, but is of Puerto Rican descent. The universal Mexicanization of non-Anglos is deeply offensive and stupid, but I gather you were talking about some thought that had crossed JEFFREY ROSEN’s mind, not your own. Yes? Right? Fuck, I shuld try to say something funny here, but everybody else is doing this frito bandito act, how droll.
[re=308527]artbot2000[/re]:
We don’t think all non-Anglos are Mexicans. Some are Aye-rabs and then are the damn Irish.
[re=308502]Mad Farmer Manifest[/re]: ¡Sold, Gringo!
[re=308527]artbot2000[/re]: I heard the queen of Spain is also Mesikin.
[re=308527]artbot2000[/re]: But she’s really Mexican, right?
[re=308527]artbot2000[/re]: Yay, someone fell for the patented Jim Newell Fake Mexican Filter!
Why does it look like a shitty scan of a shitty photo copy?
[re=308544]Dave J.[/re]: Where’s the ban hammer?
the other side says “all your base are belong to us, morans”
Lou Dobbs just shit himself.
that’s one angry Meshican hobbit
I’ll see your bilingual and raise you to trilingual polyglot.
I think we of German descent from Pennsylvania or North Carolina need to bring back German as the common tongue.
Those just west of the Mississippi should raise to quadrilingual polyglot with French!
All sort of little Europe here int he Americas again.
Or should we just go all in for Algonquin, Cherokee and Lahkota?
Why is that directed at White People?
Personal messages for A. Gringo Dumbfucks on a Wonkette bulletin board? I am shocked, I tell you! What if it’s an embedded message for a Zeta cell in Scottsdale? What if Mr. Dumbfucks is arranging an assignation with Michelle Bachmann? What if he’s selling a Mitt Romney zapper to the Palin Underground? Doesn’t that make us accessories before the shoes?
[re=308526]Lazy Media[/re]: Cherchez l’orange!
[re=308512]Custerwolf[/re]: Ah, Three Dog Night….now they were some rock’n'rollers!
Looks to me like the photo cuts off the rest of the “Borders are the arbitrary” sentence.
[re=308527]artbot2000[/re]: Sarah Palin thinks the Bronx is in Puerto Rico
You know, I can sometimes be a pedantic asshole about grammar, but I move that we officially accept the definite article in front of the adjective arbitrary – arbitrarily – because I rather agree with him (or her?) re the arbitrariness of borders, and I particularly liked the use of the word “Dumbfucks.”
LOL QUE
[re=308642]V572625694[/re]: I’m getting nostalgic now….better go cue up the turntable.
[re=308477]President Beeblebrox[/re]: OMG this was going to be my exact comment.
Feliz Cinco de Mayo to you too, my friend.
[re=308502]Mad Farmer Manifest[/re]: “We stole it fair and square and kicked all the Messicans out. So I guess they want the stolen land back. Can we give them Texas and call it even?”
Oh please? I would never ask Santa for another thing! Please Mr, President, send the rednecks to Mexico, and I promise to vote for you (again).
Actually, I saw the uncropped version of this photo and the sign this fellow’s holding up actually continues on like a gigantic roll of toilet paper. It’s a manifesto of sorts, but since the writing just gets smaller and crookeder, I opted out of reading it in its entirety.
[re=308664]gurukalehuru[/re]: Done. I totally agree with you.
