The state department, under obama’s direction, has attacked a US state for attempting to enforce US immigration law.. There is now comparison.. You are dumber than a rock.

Here is the EXACT wording of Paragraph 95 of portion of the state department’s Human Rights report covering immigration policies to the UN. This is NOT the only dispute or issue covered in the report, which is in the same form, style and demeanor as the Bush Civil Right reports were during that administration; however, the Bush reports include details of many more state disputes.
“95. A recent Arizona law, S.B. 1070, has generated significant attention and debate at home and around the world. The issue is being addressed in a court action that argues that the federal government has the authority to set and enforce immigration law. That action is ongoing; parts of the law are currently enjoined.”
That’s it. It’s like, you think the UN can’t read the newspapers? They ask if we have any activity in human rights issues including immigration, and we’re supposed to say “None we can think of?” Then you’d say WHY DIDN’T OBAMA MENTION THE ARIZONA CASE? IS HE ASHAMED OF HIS POLICY?
This is the same type of report that Bush made, which could have raised similar controversies, but you and the noisemakers of the right were silent then. Why? Because of the difference you point out ... Bush made the earlier reports, Obama made this one. It is all partisan posturing without substance.
No, it’s not the same.. Bush never singled out a STATE for political reasons, that was only attempting to enforce federal immigration law.. Spin it all you wish boy, it doesn’t change anythiing.

I am showing you the exact language of the report. You mention this Arizona dispute all the time on this board, have made many posts about it, so you apparently think it is an important issue, but you are supposedly mad because the state department mentioned it in their report on human rights and immigration. You are two-faced. It is okay for you to talk about it incessantly, but the President should just shut up about it. The Bush administration reported to the UN on many more state civil rights disputes, but you didn’t care a bit about that, because you liked Bush, don’t like Obama. As Obama said this weekend, he could say the sky is blue, you would yell that it isn’t. That will always be the DirtyDanFred way.
Subtle,and in some cases overt,forms of discrimination against minority individuals and groups continue to plague American society, reflecting attitudes that persist from a legacy of segregation, ignorant stereotyping, and disparities in opportunity and achievement. Such problems are compounded by factors such as inadequate understanding by the public of the problem of racial discrimination, lack of awareness of the government-funded programs and activities designed to address it, lack of resources for enforcement, and other factors.
In addition, two subjects of concern have been particularly acute in the years since 2000. The first involves the increase in bias crimes and related discriminatory actions against persons perceived to be Muslim, or of Arab, Middle Eastern, or South Asian descent, after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The second involves the impacts of the changing demographic caused by high rates of immigration into the United States – both legal and illegal. The continuing legacies described above, in addition to these more recent issues, create on-going challenges for the institutions in the United States that are charged with the elimination of discrimination. Thus, despite significant progress, numerous challenges still exist, and the United States recognizes that a great deal of work remains to be done.
