Listening to Republicans talk about Latinas makes me a little sick to my stomach.

I guess I find myself unsurprised…been hearing the same kind of bile directed at latinos/latinas from lots of people, not just Republicans, for years after covering immigration stuff.
well, it’s hard to listen to Tom Tancredo call her a racist.
I just caught that on The Ed Show. Tancredo calling her a racist. Unbelievable. And there in the middle of the screen, Mike Allen (Politico) is sitting there in disbelief. Ed then asks Allen if he will investigate these allegations of her being a racist and he simply says “NO!” and Tancredo throws a fit over that.
C&L has VIDEO.
It’s appalling, out and out racism and misogyny. Still, I hope they keep piling it on. The more they spout their ugly racism and reveal the deep misogyny of their party, the fewer votes, from any decent human being, that they will get in the future. I think they are on the path to complete destruction of the Republican Party. The sooner the better!
Anyone see Tancredo on Hardball? All I saw was the last two minutes and heard him pretty much spitting out how Sotomayor is a racist and will get special treatment in the confirmation hearings because she’s a woman and Latina. Bill Press almost had a heart attack, I think.
OOps, not Hardball, Ed Shultz’s show.
uh- I have to wonder at why they called out Tancredo-because HE’S such a racist??? Next thing he and Dobbs will be checking to see if she is an illegal immigrant.
I’m glad for once Mike Allen just kept his mouth shut.
I thought Schultz had a bit more class than calling out a former congress person, racist, wingnut rethug to appear on his show.
Hell.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant .. besides .. was it Tom Sr. or Jr.? Cause I thought Sr. packed it in at the end of 2008 … if it is Sr. .. why? .. he has no power .. and is no longer a sitting Congresscritter
I think we need to see her birth certificate!
I’m wondering if this nomination is also part of team Obama’s rope-a-dope strategy.
Listening to Republicans talk about almost anything makes my stomach turn – it’s like tuning into cancer cells.
MSNBC’s resident racist, Pat Buchanan, called Judge Sotomayor, a Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton – an Affirmative Action pick.
they can’t help themselves.
they simply can’t.
I’m hoping that, once confirmed, Sotomayor will give Clarence Thomas a nervous breakdown.
