Gov. Jan Brewer made it official today and ordered a special election for the recall of Senate President Russell Pearce to take place Nov. 8.
We have all heard about the Wisconsin recall elections, but this one has been under the radar until today. A recall against the Senate President has been successful in Arizona, and he will face a recall election on November 8. Pearce is the author of the racist Arizona law which required police officers to profile all Hispanics, assuming that any of them might be an illegal alien.
Fear makes people do very strange things. It is ironic that Franklin Roosevelt, who said "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself", ordered Japanese Americans to be sent to concentration camps during WWII. Yesterday, it was fear of Yellow people. Today, it is fear of Brown people. Some things never change, especially racism. But a good recall, successful or not, is at least a good start. And in a bat**** crazy state like Arizona, it is a pleasant surprise.
