Babeu’s scramble from white separatists was the latest for Arizona politicians who support SB 1070 and other hard-line border-security efforts.

Gov. Jan Brewer’s staff is combing through contributions to the fund she established to defend the law, after a white-supremacist group said it made a donation. She promised to return money from racist groups or associated individuals, but the staff has found none so far among $1.3 million in donations.

State Sen. Russell Pearce, who authored SB 1070, apologized in 2006 after forwarding a white-supremacist e-mail.

Great catch/post ww!!!
