I can't believe you didn't link to your other story on this exemplary specimen of the clergy (not to mention, humanity. Also.)

Arthur Frommer, of the Frommer Guides, wrote a pretty heartfelt essay about how appalled he was ad the display of weaponry at a Presidential event. He's not calling for a boycott of AZ to global tourists just yet, but he was passionate in his disgust that it's a tolerated thing. It's one small thing he has the power to do to protest such thuggish displays.

But I agree, these characters aren't representative of all Arizonans. I think.

I've met great people from Arizona. I even liked McCain. This is just more Jesus-freak ranting.

@Cheap Shot: Go and ask how many of them agree that people should be allowed to carry assault rifles in full view outside of Presidential speeches.

People that you otherwise would think of as pretty normal can have some absolutely insane beliefs that you would never know unless you ask. And only then do you realize that they're part of the problem.

These laws in Arizona were not put in place against the public's will.

The final scene of 2007's Rambo movie is Rambo going to Arizona to make peace with his dad. Not sure whether that's related or not; I just wanted to ruin Rambo.

I'm sure New York has plenty of crazy to spare for everybody.

@Swifter: But Arizona cannot handle New York's delicious, awesome brand of crazy. "There's poppy seeds in this crazy, throw it out!" "This crazy is making my hips move, make it stop!" Etc.

@BookishLookish: Oh Bookish, you're such a New Yawker that you forgot about the hillbilly parts of our fine state! Trust me, the Arizona brand of crazy is alive and well in entirely too many parts of New York State. Think Western New York where it's too far and too cold to commute to Buffalo. They don't have all of their teeth but they sure as heck got their guns and their love of Jeezus!

Yes, but it's a dry crazy.

Cut us some slack. It's a beautiful state that happens to have some wackos. I'm pretty sure that's not exclusive to Arizona. I would blame it on the annoying snowbirds, but that isn't really a factor in the summertime. If I could get rid of anyone it would be Arpaio, though. No one has done more to make me ashamed to be from Arizona.

@BookishLookish: Not a proud moment, but we weren't the only ones at the time. It isn't fair to just pick on Arizona for being ignorant. Also, that was decades ago. That's like a tourist saying they don't want to go to Times Square because of all the hookers and seediness. We're a young state that's grown up quite a bit, and I think we're making strides in the right direction. This guy, of course, is not the best example of that.

@mfnher: If you quit sending all the crazies to san diego in the summertime to get in boozy beach fights and cause an alcohol ban, we'd be a lot less predisposed to dislike you.

But that Joe guy does need a good nut-kicking, no doubt.

@m4ximusprim3: Lucky for you I was too poor to go this year. We also supply nearly half of all Real World housemates. You can't have it both ways!
