In reply to the discussion: Tennessee Republican tells 11 year old girl her father has to be deported as tea party crowd cheers [View all]caseymoz
(5,763 posts)73. Teabaggers don't even try to hide their hatred now.
Hatred in many forms: racism, sexism, contempt for the weak, the poor, the disabled, the gays . . . it's all on display now for everyone to see, and everyone is retching at it except them.
Maybe five years of a black president that they haven't been able to remove has eaten away at their facade and sanity. Maybe it's the fact that they know their power in votes is declining, and they're getting desperate. Perhaps the news of being spied on by the NSA has them on edge as it does everyone. Maybe it's all of the above and more. I don't know what's caused it, but every rationalization they once used as a smokescreen has blown away, and they're revealing themselves to be as close to pure evil as a person can get without murder, which is probably going to follow next.

What a fine example of GOP family values. Funny how they are unable to entice hispanics to vote

Has nothing to do with "Hispanic voters" but everything to do with humanity. All of it.

I agree with you, I was not trying to suggest this is just a Hispanic issue

You don't 'legalize' workers to bring down wages; you keep them 'illegal' - easier to exploit them.
