Former Rep. Tom Tancredo Goes Completely Bonkers On CNN - Calls Latino Civil Rights Group "The Latino KKK"
If the GOP's plan was to attack Justice Sotomayor on her judicial record and philosophy, that plan has gone completely off the rails. Not only has the last few days been one of the nastiest assaults on a public official of Hispanic descent, it has also been one of the most disturbing attacks on people of color, particularly Latino folks.
To compare La Raza, the oldest civil rights group for Latinos to the KKK is absolutely disgusting, cowardly, and immoral. This same despicable charge has been leveled at the NAACP. This situation has quickly become a major blight on the state of race relations in America. You can't roll back stuff like this, it's a part of the American fabric. Shame on the folks that don't stand up and condemn these comments.
