Uh oh! Sotomayor's in La Raza!

not uh oh for Sotomayor, but uh oh for the republicans. Thanks to RW radio stupidity, La Raza to a lot of the GOP base is like a Mexican ACORN, and they're going to pressure their senators to be stupid about it, which they're trying not to be.

Seizing the opportunity to vilify a female, Hispanic Supreme Court nominee, noted bigot Tom Tancredo has emerged from obscurity to denounce Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Earlier this week, Tancredo declared her to be a “racist” who should be “disqualified” from serving on the bench.

This afternoon on CNN, he went further, attacking her affiliation with the National Council of La Raza as equivalent to being a member of the Ku Klux Klan:

TANCREDO: If you belong to an organization called La Raza, in this case, which is, from my point of view anyway, nothing more than a Latino — it’s a counterpart — a Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses. If you belong to something like that in a way that’s going to convince me and a lot of other people that it’s got nothing to do with race. Even though the logo of La Raza is “All for the race. Nothing for the rest.” What does that tell you?

SANCHEZ: Alright. We’re not talking about — we’re not talking about La Raza –

TANCREDO: She’s a member! She’s a member of La Raza!

4. Mine too. Reduce that GOP base to old, angry, homophobic

white men. Every time one of these lunatics opens their mouth, they lose a few votes.

3. How is La Raza fundamentally any different from, say, the NAACP?

Oh, that's right, the right-wingers think the latter is a "hate group" as well... :eyes:
