Eugene Robinson - Arizona's new immigration law is an act of vengeance

This is my favorite part of the opinion

But where was the Tea Party crowd? Isn't the whole premise of the Tea Party movement that overreaching government poses a grave threat to individual freedom? It seems to me that a law allowing individuals to be detained and interrogated on a whim -- and requiring legal residents to carry identification documents, as in a police state -- would send the Tea Partyers into apoplexy. Or is there some kind of exception if the people whose freedoms are being taken away happen to have brown skin and might speak Spanish?

WHAT SAY YOUR MR. BECK, MR. LIMBAUGH?
