UC Berkeley Chancellor Says Arizona’s Immigration Law to Blame For Giffords Shooting…
So what’s he saying, it wasn’t Palin’s map? Doesn’t he know that’s the official leftist line?
In an official e-mail to the University of California at Berkeley campus community, chancellor Robert Birgeneau said that it was no “coincidence” that Saturday’s tragic shooting of Ariz. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others at a public event in Tucson occurred in a state that recently enacted what he suggested was a discriminatory immigration law.
“Such a brutal and violent attack on an individual who has devoted herself to public service is deeply regrettable. It calls upon us as an academic community to stop and ponder the climate in which such an act can be contemplated, even by a mind that is profoundly disturbed,” Birgeneau said in his e-mail. “A climate in which demonization of others goes unchallenged and hateful speech is tolerated can lead to such a tragedy. I believe that it is not a coincidence that this calamity has occurred in a state which has legislated discrimination against undocumented persons.”

If only an illegal immigrant had done the shooting, then they could all pretend it hadn’t happened.
Oh Good, so Jared talking then and he choose as his first person to contact (not his lawyer) But this Berkley Chancellor and blamed it on Illegal Immigration?
Well that takes care of the whole problem since we weren’t doing anything about illegal immigration.
Sheriff Dumbkprick keeps saying it’s the Right, Sarah and Beck who made him do this…
Glad we got this all cleared up…Contract the Sheriff to let him go.
It’s illegal immigration!!!
He wants those boarders open and that it was Congress-woman’s own fault for wanting to take care of illegal immigration do to the Amount of violence, kidnappings and a whole host of other problems people in Arizona are facing fro illegal’s.
I wish he would have contacted this Berkley person way before yesterday and let him know why…. Would have saved so much speculation in the News and all.
Good job everyone.
/sarc.
Zip, can you get a complete list of everything that is to blame for the shooting? Besides the shooter, of course.
This is what I have so far:
the constitution, Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, talk radio, Conservatives, Right Wing something or other, opposition to obamacare, immigration laws, gun laws.
Evidence is for the unenlightened. We of the elite class know, by the sheer strength of our superior intellect, that right-wing rhetoric is responsible. We’d explain it to you plebes but you all are just too darned stupid.
Chancellor in for a good spanking for not toeing the party line.
Chancellor Robert Birgeneau is in love with himself.
Well that solves it .If illegal immigration caused this problem and to follow liberals logic to rid the cause of this tragedy when do they go after illegal immigration?
Iron Maiden.
Religion…. He had that Shrine to the Devil.. we all know Christians warship the Devil.. the only real true God is Allah…
sarc.
The Chancellor is as looney as the rest of Berkley.
Maybe tighter standards for admitting leftist Canadian trash would be in order. I mean come on, do we really need a Canadian doing what any American Poly Sci retard can do, providing “leadership” for an American University?
Leftardism is transnational, MNHawk; we get your nutty professors up here too (and Brits etc. to both our countries) so not letting ours in won’t help your university to nut ratio.
BTW, I’m pretty sure that Rep. Giffords is against illegal immigration and in favour of the AZ state law that repeats what the Federal law states but is rarely enforced. Doesn’t that make the professor’s point even more pointless?
actually, it’s the definition of coincidence. And this asshole is a University Chancellor? No wonder California’s going down the toilet.
I swear ….. California gets crazier every day..
