Russell Pearce is a man with a vision. He is also a man with an AM radio show. The recalled Arizona Senate leader, architect of the “papers please” immigration law — and, until his sudden resignation late Sunday night, state GOP vice chair — recently took to the airwaves to fantasize about what it would be like if he was in charge, free to save America from the scourge of the needy with the help of home TV inspections and forced sterilizations.

Unfortunately, some people (Democrats and The Media, of course) took his radio comments completely out of context, as Democrats and The Media are always doing, forcing him to resign for the good of the Republican Party:

In his statement, Pearce wrote that during a recent radio show there “was a discussion about the abuses to our welfare system” and he “shared comments written by someone else and failed to attribute them to the author.”

“This was a mistake,” Pearce stated. “This mistake has been taken by the media and the left and used to hurt our Republican candidates.”

He wrote he does not want Democrats and reporters “to try and take a misstatement from my show and use it to attack our candidates.”

If only he’d given proper attribution for his Save America plan and added “… said Hitler,” none of this would be happening.

Raw Story laid out Russell’s plans for the future of entitlement programs. First, he’d get all the poor people verifiably sober, and the lady poors would have to be fixed to be sure they couldn’t make any baby poors. (Russell would never suggest vasectomies for poor guys. That would be barbaric.) [MORE]
