Tinfoil Sales Up As Wingnuts Blame Immigrants For Swine Flu

I blogged yesterday about Malkin blaming immigrants for the outbreak of swine flu. It now looks like she was just getting the ball rolling for the racist right.

The fact is that most people in America who have contracted the flu were recently in Mexico, or around someone who has been there. Facts like this quickly get lost when people like Malkin and Beck want to turn a potential tragedy into a reason to hate.
