You are comparing this to D.C? Are you kidding me? They are not warning people of the citizens of Arizona, they are warning against illegals and drug war related crime. C'mon now.

I've been in the neighborhoods recommended to stay out of in DC.

Denver is one of the least segregated cities in the US.

They are warning people about a dangerous area in the United States. I didn't know that it mattered if the people were Mexican as opposed to African-American. Seems like the message is the same. Telling people to use extreme caution, and warning them that it's not a safe place to be. That sign is no more a judgment of Hispanic people than the other warning is a judgment of African-Americans. It's just informing people about the areas they might not know about.

It's exactly the same thing, a warning of potential danger, only that sign was posted by the feds. Suggesting that people use common sense and try to stay out of dangerous places is always a good message. It's advice that you can choose to take or not take, but everyone has a right to know about it.

Too much of a stretch, sorry. Not the same at all! You are not responding to a Beck supporter here, so I'm a bit too smart for that type of feeble attempt at spin. Nice try.

You didn't read my posts where I said I have no use for Glenn Beck. Couldn't care less if he never got another second of air time again.

It's exactly the same thing.

Warning people about potential danger.

If you think it's a feeble attempt at anything, you're not nearly as smart as you think you are.

Anyway, wherever you go, be safe.

The guide specifically warns “Do not use the Green line or the Yellow line.” You need to use the Green/Yellow line to get to the National Archives, where the Constitution is kept. Is the government aware what a dangerous neighborhood it’s in?

um....I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and darn it people like me." WHO said that? I can't remember now. lol Who's talking about your family? What does that have to do with the Rachel Maddow show and/or the Tea Party guide to DC?
