Author: I received an email from a participant at the Austin Rally to Support Arizona that took place this past Saturday. I asked the author’s permission to repost his email and pictures. I put together a little slideshow/movie of the commentary and pictues.

(From The Peter Morrison Report)
Texas State Representative Debbie Riddle (R-Tomball) found herself in the middle of a firestorm the other day after she gave an interview to an obscure left wing talk show host in Houston. An attorney named Geoff Berg hosts a weekly talk show called Partisan Gridlock on station KFPT which, just like Berg’s politics, is on the far left end of the FM dial. KFPT is affiliated with the notoriously radical Radio Pacifica network. For an idea of where Berg and KFPT are coming from, just look at a few of the programs on the station’s schedule: Queer Voices, Proyecto Latino Americano, Uprising, Arab Voices, Nuestra Palabra and Voz de la Tierra.
Berg was interviewing Rep. Riddle about her call for a crackdown on illegal immigration. Rep. Riddle has promised to introduce legislation this year that will be very similar to the recent bill passed in Arizona; in other words, she wants a law on illegal immigration that will actually be effective. During the interview, Berg employed a typical left wing tactic – he prefaced his question with “Without making it a racial issue…”, and then proceeded to bluntly make opposition to illegal immigration into a racial issue.
