Pap and Seder: Gohmert Rhetoric Echoes Racist Militia Talk

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) is leading the charge in blocking immigration reform. But if you concentrate on his talking points, you'll find that they are dangerously similar to the appalling talking points of racist "minute men" militias that are sprouting up in areas around the border. Ring of Fire hosts Mike Papantonio and Sam Seder discuss the GOP's xenophobic attitude towards immigration.

Can't tell you how many I've heard wail, "We don't count anymore!" I generally reply, "Yes, you count as much as you ever did. You just don't rule anymore and never will again."

They're not only terrified of losing control but also of a potential backlash they know they've earned. What will shame them most is to be treated more decently than they treated the 'others'.
