Tom Tacredo Says NCLR=KKK=Sotomayor is Racist

Ay the fun never stops with racists. Here’s our old amigo Tom Tancredo on CNN.

Now going back into my head of history, last time I checked, part of the power of the KKK was the hooded gear and nooses, not to mention support, protection, and cross membership with government agencies including law enforcement. So a ver, I’m not apologist for the NCLR who in my opinion aren’t radical enough, pero I never have been on a call with them that focused on how to kill whitey (or did I miss that call?).

Tancredo clearly has no concept of what raza is and how it goes way beyond the concept of a “race” the way he defines it. Way back in March of 2006, Tancredo said that he didn’t like being called a racist, but it’s ok for him to?

This is a new low, even for the right-wing. I’m with you, Maegan, that the NCLR is pretty mainstream as far as advocacy goes, so that makes this allegation all the more absurd. I’m not sure what I think of the selection of Sotomayor for the supreme court (she might not be progressive enough for me), but these attacks on on her identity as a Latina are totally inappropriate. I just signed the letter that the NCLR is sending to the republican party leadership, asking them to condemn these kinds of attacks.
