Ya wanna know why the California Coalition for Immigration Reform are evil, decrepit hypocrites? Because they're hosting Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-Taliban) this Wednesday at their monthly Klavern at the Garden Grove Woman's Club on the corner of Gilbert and Garden Grove Blvd (starts at 7:30 pm; admission $5 for non-CCIR members). From the keyboard of CCIR head Barbara Coe:

Dana Rohrabacher, our Twitter-loving, immigrant-bashing, surfer-dude congressman published an op-ed yesterday in the Washington Times. It's about, of course, his favorite subject: Afghanistan -- specifically, the extent to which he knows more about Afghanistan than anyone else. To be sure, Rohrabacher is an expert on the topic.

How brave is our boy Hugh Hewitt, the talk radio blatherer/lawyer/pundit/Nixon fetishist/blogger/moralizer/George W. Bush worshiper/professional Vermont boycotter? Brave enough to take the GWOT (Global War on Terrorism-- though the Bush administration may have changed the brand name by now) to the terrorists? Hell, yeah! Has he parachuted into Iraq, to administer some Rambo-style justice to the evil doers? Nope. Is he charging up a mountain in Afghanistan, to mow down the Taliban? Wrong again. I

And Obama doesn't get any free pass, either--if he had any sense, he'd do whatever possible to promote people like Malalai Joya instead of corrupt cabrones like the Karzai brothers.
