Photo Of The Day: Anti-Immigrant Spelling
If the “English-only” crowd is going to demand President Barack Obama deport millions of immigrants, shouldn’t the far right first be required to learn to spell?
Â
Recently, an anti-immigrant activist carefully vandalized the side of the proposed shelter for immigrant children in Maryland. He or she had enough black spray paint, and evenly spaced their all caps message across a good portion of the brick wall of the single-story building. One thing they forgot to do was learn to spell.
With the rise of the Tea Party, America learned — at least, the left learned — just how ignorant so many on the right truly are. Misspelled Tea Party protest signs were so prevalent that entire websites, along with blog posts and Flickr albums, were created just to try to capture them all.Â
