Listening to these old white guys cry about racism (Tancredo especially)
is so fucking comical. Each and every one has been held up in their lives by racists like Sotomayer and Obama and laws which targeted their white race. Oh give me a break.
Next thing you know they will form their own party. Maybe call themselves republicans.

1. The really bad thing is...
There are people who honestly buy into it. I have no idea if Tancredo is honestly giving his position or if he's peddling snake oil. Either way there are people who honestly believe what he's saying is gospel truth.

One man is comic relief. Millions of people is scary

2. They were okay with Alberto Gonzales, so it's more likely sexism. nt

3. The only folks of color who get a pass from them are the ones
openly willing to turn their backs on their life experiences and upbringing and align themselves with a segment of the population that would not HESITATE to turn back the clock on every single social advancement they've gotten over the last 40 years.

So black/Hispanic/Asian/Muslim/Indian person who is anti-immigration, anti-affirmative action and is concerned about Obama's birth certificate?? You're in! Black/Hispanic/Asian/Muslim/Indian person who has a firm grasp of this country's racist past and present and may actually want to do something about it? You MUST be stopped.
