ATLANTA, GA - The city that invents ways to further humiliate itself.According to the Atlanta Journal/Constitution, at a rally held to demand deportation of illegal immigrants (shockingly hosted by a white male from the suburbs), 14 homeless people were paid $10 each to hold signs in a crowd of several dozen at the state Capitol.
Yes, they hired people who were homeless probably because the rally was in the middle of the work day and everyone with homes had jobs to attend. This kinda undercuts the "save our jobs by sending home the illegals" argument. Luckily, they were able to find like-minded homeless people. These are people who don't want their handouts shared.
King Mitchell, 28, said he he was paid $10 to hold a placard, but also personally agrees with those who want to clamp down on illegal immigration. Mitchell said he stays at the Gateway Center, an Atlanta homeless shelter.Unfortunately, this directly contradicts Anthony-Scott "No Spin Zone" Hobbs who is the chairman of the Cobb County Republican Party and the rally's chief organizer, who (oops!) has said he had not hired anyone to attend the rally.
This is unethical and simply wrong on so many levels, I don't know where to begin. Please comment and help me figure on a scale between simple politics in action to eternal damnation -- Where does this land?

I thought the whole point of these anti-immigrant rallies was to chant "Dey tuk ar jawbs!" like they did in South Park. Sorta hard to do when your job doesn't exist.
This is more of the same from Cobb County. They gave us not just New Gingrich, but Bob Barr and Larry McDonald. It's like an insane asylum up there.
You'd have to be nuts to live there, frankly. Right?
Unless you are using code names, right Rod?
So where does "love it or leave it" fit in to all this?
I love the sign in the back: "Kick Me: I Am a Citizen." Zing!
I wonder how many of those homeless were illegal immigrants.
Dave, as per your scale, why don't we just dig Dante up and ask him to pen a canto or two about the tenth circle of hell? I know he already assigned politicians to certain circles, but the Medicis were pussycats compared to some of the peeps these days...
