IS THIS A PROTEST FOR OR AGAINST THE LAW? “The conflict over a sweeping crackdown on illegal immigration in Arizona intensified Monday as vandals smeared refried beans in the shape of swastikas on the state Capitol’s windows.” No no that was just Nazi Lou Dobbs playing with his poopy. UPDATE: We have replaced the funny actual image of Lou Dobbs with this one, of his poopy swastika. [AP/TPM]

    Bean Partiers?

  • bago

    Who let the beans out?

  • Nappied Hypotenuse

    Pinto or Black?

  • Radiotherapy

    Probably goes good with Dora-itos and Krystal Nachos.

  • SayItWithWookies

    It’s just typical that the protester bringing the salsa in the shape of a hammer-and-sickle was held up by the cops.

  • 4tehlulz

    Obviously a guerrilla Taco Bell campaign gone horribly wrong.

  • nappyduggs

    That’s one-third of the way to a decent plate of nachos! What a waste of perfectly good hobo beans.

  • WhatTheHeck

    I hope there was lard in those beans because Az wants no pork in their government.

  • Oblios Cap

    Cover all the white Arizonans with those refried beans and everybody will have to produce papers. That’ll get the law repealed.

  • Troubledog

    [re=564302]Radiotherapy[/re]: moar liek Krystalnacht-chos?

  • 4tehlulz

    BTW Arizona, known Birther Douchebag Tom Tancredo thinks you’ve gone too far.

    Just sayin’ you might want to dial it back a bit.

    I agree with the words of police state law Rep. Pearce here: “It’s outrageous that these people continue to support law breakers over law keepers,”. Yes, supporting a legislator who would pass a law that blatantly violates the Constitution is outrageous.

    And law supporters are “fed up with the many problems brought on by illegal immigration.” Um, what problems? There isn’t a single one mentioned in that article.

  • Come here a minute

    It’s neither for nor against — it is art about the law.

  • weejee

    Dora had the frijoles refritos in her backpack

  • Crank Tango

    Also, if you lay one tortilla chip on top of another, you can make a tasty yellow star, also.

  • TakingAmes

    [re=564317]4tehlulz[/re]: Yet he seems confused. “If I had anything to say about it, we’d be doing it in Colorado,” Tancredo told Denver news station KDVR. But, he said, “I do not want people here, there in Arizona, pulled over because you look like should be pulled over.” Wha?

  • Troubledog

    [re=564324]Crank Tango[/re]: WIN

  • Tommmcatt

    It strikes me that the phrase “Nazi Lou Dobbs playing with his poopy” pretty accurately describes this man’s entire oevre for the last ten years.

  • Extemporanus

    [re=564324]Crank Tango[/re]: I always thought “Jesus” sounded Mexican.

  • sardonica

    They should’ve drawn a picture of Mohammed in refried beans. That really would’ve confused them.

  • Lionel Hutz Esq.

    Are we sure this is not a viral marketing campaign for Taco Bell’s new Bratwürste flavored refried beans?

  • GoinGreen

    [re=564317]4tehlulz[/re]: He is SO banging a little Mexican chick – and she told him, “NO PANOCHA FOR YOU TIL YOU SAY SUNTHEEN!!!”

  • Berkeley Bear

    [re=564330]Extemporanus[/re]: A few years ago, a catholic church in my neighborhood underwent a renovation. Somebody got the idea to put up a sign “Jesus at work”. All I could think when I first saw it was that Manuel and Juan were gonna be pissed that Jesus got all the credit.

  • Extemporanus

    [re=564331]Radiotherapy[/re]: Sí, amigo, and no es de estufas los Mexijews will sell you to refrito it on.

  • southern mark smith

    [re=564317]4tehlulz[/re]: But Bill Kristol thinks that only 5 – 13 people will ever be affected by this law, as far as he can imagine, so it’s really no problem.

  • Extemporanus

    That new image looks like shit.

  • Tim

    Maybe it’s just the business man in me, but swastikas on Gubmint buildings are gonna save us money. There won’t be any public buildings with out swastikas when I’m governor. And that’s just right. Makes sense to me.

    Does it to you?

  • CapnFatback

    [re=564320]ArkansasFred[/re]: Nicely done, sir.

  • BOOBIES!

    The green mounds underneath the swastikas are made of guacamole.

  • Radiotherapy

    Is this some kind of a joke? What’s the difference between Lou Dobbs and a shitty swastika?

  • Lionel Hutz Esq.

    Jim: Re: Update:

    You say you have changed the image, but I can’t see any difference? How does one distinguish a poopy swastika from Lou Dobbs?

  • Buzz Feedback

    65 degrees at 7 in the morning? I could never live there.

  • Sancho

    And are the AZ authorities sure it’s actually beans? I’d hate to be the poor cop that had to lean in real close and give that thing a nice physical inspection, only to discover it was the far more frightening possibility.

  • GoinGreen

    “If I go to another foreign country, if I go to Mexico, I have to have papers,” said Bill Baker, 60, who took time off work at a downtown Phoenix restaurant to sell umbrellas and Mexican and American flags to the largely Hispanic crowd of protesters. “So I don’t feel there’s anything particularly harsh about the law.”

    He didn’t “take time off” – the fucking restaurant was closed because all the chefs & busboys were busy marching in protest!!

  • Tommmcatt

    [re=564349]Radiotherapy[/re]:

    The swastika has a lot more charisma.

  • Extemporanus

    [re=564349]Radiotherapy[/re]: [re=564350]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: One is an old, infamous symbol now linked forever to xenophobia, genocide, and racism.

    The other was tattooed on the tip of Hitler’s wriggling dick.

    Godwin’s Law: the Refried Bean Edition

  • Mr Blifil

    Smearing swastikas from poop would be the most creative endeavor Lou Dobbs has ever attempted.

  • The Huffington Pogue

    So, are they calling the law a Nazi law or implying that the country is being taken over by immigrants and therefore we must couple our racist refried bean stereotypes with symbols of hatred? This is more confusing that when the LaRouchers crashed the Tea Party Health Care forums.

  • El Pinche

    Latinos will remember Sotomayor and Arizona in the next elections.
    In the meantime, here are more Dobb’s blingees:

  • JMP

    [re=564359]GoinGreen[/re]: He’s wrong anyway; you need a passport to enter another country, but not while you’re walking around there. And this applies to anyone a cop thinks might be illegal, and is incredibly vague what kind of “papers” would serve to prove US citizenship. Normally, people can walk around without carrying ID.

  • What Fresh Hell is This?

    I think it just magically appeared — like Jesus on a tortilla!

  • GOPCrusher

    [re=564340]southern mark smith[/re]: Heard his comment on Faux Noise Sunday and almost did a spit take. It was followed up later with Charles Krauthammer claiming that the reason Arizona has such a problem with illegals is that they don’t have a fence up along the border. All the Messcans sneaking into the country are being funneled in to Arizona because of the lack of a fence.

    Needs moar facepalm!

  • Monsieur Grumpe

    Bean style protests makes me hungry.

  • Virgin Birther

    Note to protestors: Look around you, you’re in Arizona: the buildings are brown, the landscape is brown, the wind is brown, you’re brown, even whitey is brown. So maybe you could use something with just a touch of contrast next time? Hell, even some of that green shit you sell the gringos on Futbol Christmas would read better than brown on brown on brown on brown. Don’t y’all have at least one faggot in your ranks that you could run these things by?

  • snoidoid

    Step 1: Boycott Arizona until we see Governor Brewer’s birth certificate.

    Step 2: When she finally shows it, protest that it isn’t the real one, and demand to see the real one.

    Step 3: Return to step 1.

    [re=564320]ArkansasFred[/re]: I dun shet muhsef.

  • southern mark smith

    [re=564435]GOPCrusher[/re]: I don’t have the fortitude to watch that crap live. The buzz from my bloody mary is too valuable to waste, and so I wait until TP summarizes it for me, and I can drink in peace, on a Sunday morning.

    And that way my 3-year-old won’t smear “refried beans” on the teevee.

  • Lascauxcaveman

    [re=564451]Virgin Birther[/re]: The green stuff? Oh, you must be referring to what the gringos call “gwock.” Smear that on a window, and after 15 minutes of direct AZ sun, it’s browner than frijoles, hombre.

    The worst thing is… I suspect those may be post-consumer frijoles.

    Soooo….who was the luck person that had to figure out if it was beans or something else?

    That looks like smeared shit to me

    Damn, I should get some duros and throw them on the steps..

    That is a sign of culinary ineptitude. ¿Frijoles refritas sin las tortillas?

    Missouri might be the “Show Me” state, but now Arizona is the “Show Me Your Papers” state.
