Apparently dissing Latinos by not showing up to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO)forum wasn’t enough for Law & Order star and potential GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson. Thompson said:
I don’t imagine they’re coming here to bring greetings from Castro. We’re living in the era of the suitcase bomb.
Thompson was forced to clarify a saying he was talking about Cuban spies not Cubans coming in legally although when you check out the video (after the jump) I think you’ll agree that’s sure not what it sounds like It sounds more like creating more Hispanic panic.
