Tancredo: ‘I don’t know’ if the Obama administration ‘hates white people.’

Recently, Rush Limbaugh declared that the way to get promoted in the Obama administration is “by hating white people.” On MSNBC this afternoon, when David Shuster asked right-wing extremist Tom Tancredo whether he agreed, Tancredo refused to object to Limbaugh’s characterization:

SHUSTER: Mr. Tancredo, do you agree that the Obama administration hates white people?

TANCREDO: Oh [sighs], I don’t know. But I’ll tell you this –

SHUSTER: You don’t know? In other words, they might?

TANCREDO: What do I — I have no idea whether they hate white people or not!

Shuster also asked Tancredo whether he wanted to apologize for calling the the nation’s largest Hispanic civil rights organization a “Latino KKK.” Tancredo laughed at the idea of an apology. Watch it:

    This is just absurd. Tancredo is a goofball. Dave Chappele’s racial draft wasn’t just funny it was classic comic social commentary. These freaks are prehistoric…

    And I don’t know if Tom Tancredo is a member of the human race. For all we know, he may be an alien.

    Reagan had a Democratic congress. He had to leash his dogs, or he never could’ve gotten anything done.


  10. republicanSScareme says:

    Although Tom Trancredo was unsure if Obama hated whites, he was certain that he himself was extremenly disliked in his own state.


  11. The Dogfather says:

    It’s quite amazing how all these “former” Rushpublican office-holders are hanging around and spewing their bilge all over the airwaves — Tancredo, Cheney, Santorum, Gingrich, Delay…

    I’m sure the Republic Fascist Party leadership is very proud…


  12. Badmoodman says:

    Tancredo: ‘I don’t know’ if the Obama administration ‘hates white people.’

    – - You know the GOP is in tatters when they offer up Tancredo front and center to make their case in the court of public opinion. Kudos, Michael Steele.


  13. P.D. says:

    Oh COME ON! This is the most ludicris argument I have ever heard. What is it? Pity the poor white guy week? Oh yeah, Pity the poor downtrodden white man, who for centuries have caused misery and woe. WTF?

    I think this might be the biggest tactical blunder the GOP is committing right now — even bigger than Michael Steele’s chairmanship.

    They’re allowing the most extreme and in most cases largely unpopular figures to act as the faces of their party and because they’re all former officeholders, they are accountable to no one.

    Faux News loves them because they feed the red meat to the base, but they’re really not doing anything to expand the party beyond that shrinking rural, Southern, white base of theirs.

    I say good on ‘em.


  15. Bilbo Hussein Baggins says:

    Another former legislator speaking for the Republic party.

    Anyone besides me notice that they don’t have any current legislators who are willing to speak up. Even Boner and McConnell have been rather quiet lately. I wonder if it has anything to do with their poll numbers:

    …………Approve/Disapprove/Don’t know
    McCONNELL: 22 / 60 / 18
    BOEHNER: 15 / 64 / 21

    Add that to their party’s poll numbers, and one can easily see that the Republics are in real trouble.

    ………………..Approve/Disapprove/Don’t know
    DEMOCRATIC PARTY: 49 / 43 / 8
    REPUBLICAN PARTY: 21 / 71 / 8

    It’s getting harder and harder to find a Republican who still holds elected office. Of those, it’s getting harder and harder to find one who is willing to stick his neck out, thereby risking losing his next election.

    Correct answer! And exactly what Tancredo should have said.

    I wonder who he was trying not to alienate by refusing to take a stand on such an obvious question. In what context could it be politically harmful for him to just say “no?” Is he in the running for Grand Wizard Dragon or whatever this year?

    Don’t you love how much racists are so quick to defend their own racism, while simultaneously seeing racism against their own in just about everything?

    Seriously, Tancredo is doing some seriously transparent projection here. Everyone’s racist against white people to him, while he sees nothing wrong with trying to keep the country ‘for whites only’ it seems.

If you’re Hispanic, well we’ve seen what a shithole all Mestizo Latino countries are. Why else would people be falling over themselves to illegally come here to what has been White Man’s Land? Mestizos want to come try to take away from Whites what they can’t do for themselves. (The White Hispanic countries are actually pretty decent compared to the Mestizo ones.

    As far as Tancredo is concerned, he’s just doing this for the notoriety. Nobody left on the GOP bandwagon, so he might as well drive it.

  95. Wayne Ant Schneider says:

    I wish I could remember which stand-up said it, but a comedian once said, “Racism is stupid. Why hate an entire race of people when there are so many perfectly valid reasons to hate people on an individual basis?”

    The racists and bigots who have crossed paths with me in my life (I did not seek them out), would often express ignorant comments about some group (minorities, gays, liberals, whatever), but would always admit that the ones from that group that they knew personally were alright.

    I used to work with an openly gay man who actually made some of the homophobes at work nervous enough to make it known to management that they didn’t like the idea of him being hired. But then, over the three years he worked with us, they got to know him and even like him. He was okay in their books. Sadly, it didn’t seem to change their opinion of all those other gays out there that they didn’t know.

    And yet they would bristle at the idea of being called “bigots.” To paraphrase what a famous TV character once said, “They weren’t born wanting to hate like this.” Someone taught them to hate.


  96. Purple State / Lavender Boy says:

    Well, guarantee we won’t see the_villian’s comments on The O’Reilly Factor. Right-wing hate from a left-wing site? That’s ludicrous!

    I saw this coming a mile away when we elected Obama. The first black president would give some minorities a job in his administration, and the right-wing would go nuts with affirmative action and “reverse racism”.

    Let it go, troll. Be humble for a change. Cooperate. Get off of your high horse and shake hands with your fellow Americans.

    Is this the same white man who caused misery by establishing a government that allows you to make comments like these? By creating the computer and the technology that you’re typing it on? By figuring out a way to generate the electricity the computer is using? I could go on, but I digress.

    If you didn’t suffer such ‘misery’ you’d still be in Africa dying of AIDS with a bone through your nose and metal rings stretching your neck out like the rest of your race is – if you’re black. If you’re Hispanic, well we’ve seen what a shithole all Mestizo Latino countries are. Why else would people be falling over themselves to illegally come here to what has been White Man’s Land? Mestizos want to come try to take away from Whites what they can’t do for themselves. (The White Hispanic countries are actually pretty decent compared to the Mestizo ones. Just do some research on it.)

    How’s that for a politically incorrect statement?

    Awesome. Like it left straight off of an Aryan Nations pamphlet. Thanks. It’s mostly the racists who try to hide their racism behind code words or by pointing fingers that I get mad at and feel the need to debate with.

    this nominee judge never thanked the greatness of this nation making her what she is now. The leftist libs always defend little guys, and claimed to be the champion of poor- why she never thanked welfare system, rather she tells her life story as an American dream. can we concluded that even the spineless libs knows that the only way to help someone is to create jobs, by means of cutting taxes. who knows any poor person ever created a jobs for someone. As a graduate of Limbaugh school of policy and advanced democracy, I here by declare that the welfare system has failed for good. We should not pre-judged this lady- and give her chance to defend her racist comment- we don’t know if she has cheated on her taxes like three of the Bamster’s nominees… lets see if someone can find out if she is another tax cheater..If she is, then she is shoed in- hello Tim the treasury secretary, and Tom Dashel.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Merdad,
    I have been following your posts and I can honestly admit I can’t get any of your talking points. You keep rambling on.

    Please, What point are you trying to make?


  108. ElBruce says:

    Merdad Says:

    You pasted this into another thread too.

    .

    Merdad Says:

    Sure GW Bush had the MOST diverse cabinet in history-

    Sure. So what’s the difference now? Why all the complaints about diversity?

    Here’s what I think the difference is – all of the minorities during Bush’s term had a long track record of “loyalty” – that is, they had proven that they would make decisions explicitly to help white people. Had they been race-neutral in their record (as Sotomayor is) they wouldn’t be have been deemed trustworthy. But a racial minority appointee lacking a thoroughly vetted record of throwing over racial minorities to protect white privilege is unacceptable to your kind.

    .

    Merdad Says:

    Libs could not see that and chased two latino out of town in middle of rainy Washington nite.

    I’m tired of saying this all the time to you people – WTF are you talking about? These passing references to things we don’t know about are pointless. We don’t speak your code!


  109. Wayne Ant Schneider says:

    Merdad Says:

    can we concluded that even the spineless libs knows that the only way to help someone is to create jobs, by means of cutting taxes.

    And only a mindless conservative tool believes that cutting corporate taxes will make businesses use their new profits to hire more people, rather than pass them on to the shareholders/owners. Get another talking point, this one’s got shit all over it.


  110. ElBruce says:

  115. pete says:

    The poor, stupid, trolls will never get it. The Bush Administration went from an approval rating of over 80% to well under 30% solely because of their disastrous policies. It’s not much of an exaggeration to say every single thing they touched, they screwed up. In fact, they took the worst possible course of action in many cases.

    Personally, I would be thrilled if there were two, or more, viable political parties with a track record of making tough decisions under pressure and not making things worse. Alas, we have only one. And unless the GOP jettisons the delusional freaks who control the party? They will become increasingly irrelevant. In fact, at this rate, I think it’s more likely a third party will arise before the GOP returns to it’s former glory. They held the reigns with disastrous results one too many times.

    But was that outrage due to racism? Frankly, in the case of AG and Rice, it was more of a performance criticism, and I’m not sure where you are looking when you bring up Powell’s name.

The economy is starting to be a little less worsen, recession is flattening, and our follow man at least got an unemployment extension in the stimulus package until that turns around too.

    Then maybe you should stop posting stupid comments? Just a thought.

    go learn how how Democrats tried to destroy — with the help of CNN — Samuel Alito.

    See, when most of us have an argument to make, we support it with evidence and sound logic. We don’t demand that others do our research for us.

    We lived through the Alito confirmation, and most of us paid attention. We could research it again, but the chances of most of us seeing the events from the angle that you do is close to nil.

    I want you to keep in mind that people like Ted Kennedy and Chuck Schumer and Howard Dean tried to destroy Bush too.

    Uh… I think you’re talking about something called politics. It looks like you take it personally. That could run you into some health problems later on.

    Ted Kennedy before hitting the bottle, or may after.

    Someone with the obvious problems with expressing himself clearly on a Friday evening might want to hold off on the drunk jokes. Again, just a thought.

    Few privileged, wealthy, white Democrats attacked Janice Brown as an ‘extreme right-wing’ judge who didn’t care about ‘civil rights’ or the ‘down-trodden.

    See, the thing is, attacking one’s political philosophy is not the same thing as attacking their race (as Tom Tancredo has done) or their gender (as Gordo Liddy has done, just in the last twelve hours). It’s actually what Senators are supposed to examine in confirmation hearings.

    They were unconstrained by accusations of racism and sexism.

    Links. Links would be good here. Just saying it doesn’t make it so.

    Janice Rogers Brown, remember, is an African-American that dems destroyed.

    “Destroyed”, huh? You sure you want to stick with that verbiage?

    From wikipedia:

    President George W. Bush nominated her to her current position in 2003. However, her nomination was stalled in the U.S. Senate for almost two years due to Democratic opposition. She began serving as a federal appellate court judge on June 8, 2005.

    Those Dems sure don’t seem to be very good at destroying someone. When Repubs destroy someone, they stay DESTROYED!

    as a Limbaugh school gtaduate I will not rest until all dems admit being life losers and join us for better america….

    Good luck with that.

    Publisher John Elchert of the Times-Observer in Warren also told E&P the ad — slated to run for three days — was stopped after appearing once Thursday. “It is unfortunate that it got past our classified people,” he said. “My first call [Thursday] was to the police chief and I believe his protocol is to contact the Secret Service.”

    The ad stated: “May Obama follow in the footsteps of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley & Kennedy!” All four of those presidents, of course, were assassinated in office. Elchert said when the ad was taken, the staffer who took it “did not make the connection of what tied those presidents together.”

    I’m getting a little tired of getting whacked by everybody out there and it’s just time to respond to some of it. go learn how how Democrats tried to destroy — with the help of CNN — Samuel Alito. I want you to keep in mind that people like Ted Kennedy and Chuck Schumer and Howard Dean tried to destroy Bush too. Ted Kennedy before hitting the bottle, or may after.

    Few privileged, wealthy, white Democrats attacked Janice Brown as an ‘extreme right-wing’ judge who didn’t care about ‘civil rights’ or the ‘down-trodden.’ They were unconstrained by accusations of racism and sexism.” Janice Rogers Brown, remember, is an African-American that dems destroyed. as a Limbaugh school gtaduate I will not rest until all dems admit being life losers and join us for better america….

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Merdad,
    I believe you said you where a Linbaugh school graduate and all Democrats are life losers. You honestly want to be taken seriously, really? I believe we have already witnessed your version of a “better America”, and you Republicans keep displaying it daily. You are hopelessly delusional, or you are pathetically frightened to have a black man in the white house, or both. It’s a brave new world my man and you are along for the ride whether you like it or not. Suck it up, quit being a big wiener.

    BFO – blinding flash of the obvious . . .

    as the likes of tancredo, cheney, gingrich, limbaugh, beck, hannity, levine, et al spew their racist points of view, rational people within the GOP will be rethinking their affiliation with a party that sees only in black and white. the proverbial sign on their party door says “whites only” . . . how sad is that?

    Your link goes directly to Christopher Hitchens’ waterboarding…

    It includes his full explanation of how it is in factm torture: “if waterboarding does not constitute torture, then there is no such thing as torture.”

    But I can see the “Mancow is lame” argument now: a right-wing radio jock went for like 2 seconds under a version of waterboarding that he had intended to be as fake as possible and it broke him, whereas a columnist for Vanity Fair magazine made it for 16 seconds (3:17-3:33) under the real thing before breaking.

    Hey, why don’t you call us elitist liberals “pussies” again, just for old times’ sake. You wingnuts are weak little cowards.

    But then I noticed the arguments in your linked URL, and just to make sure you didn’t typo, I broke down your search string and entered it into YouTube again: did Derich Mancow Muller fake his waterboarding for publicity?

    No videos found for “did Derich Mancow Muller fake his waterboarding for publicity”

    Point, please?


  171. ElBruce says:

    Oh wait, I finally figured out how to fix your mangled URL. This one’s on me:

    http://gawker.com/5271813/did-erich-mancow-muller-fake-his-waterboarding-for-publicity

    The crux of their argument?

    But now a tipster has provided information that suggests the whole thing may be a hoax.

    Ooh, a

    tipster

    ! Stop the presses!

    Even though you’ve got nothing, I’d still be perfectly willing to throw the “Mancow” data completely out: anybody who had drowned as a child and had to be revived isn’t a “normal” subject. Of course he’d be more likely to completely freaking lose it almost instantly. He should have thought of that before having some dude pour water into his sinus cavity for ratings.

    But if you want to push it (and you always do, you sweet, sweet wingnuts) I’m still there for you…


  172. ElBruce says:

    After reading Gawker’s email chain, it’s still pretty clear that Mancow was planning on making it look like he was undergoing the torture of waterboarding without actually being subject to the torture of waterboarding. But, whoops! it broke him anyways. That can happen. Somebody can accidentally do it right. Hint: it’s not very hard to torture people.

    Like most of you wingnuts he wanted to put on a fake show, but accidentally got smacked upside the head with the truth.

    I’m curious: which are you more angry about? That he accidentally broke, or that he was honest enough to admit it?

    Curious #2: if you don’t believe him, are you personally willing to repeat his failed experiment?

    Also worth a mention, they actually bold/highlight the following critical phrase, “Mancow will pay gas and parking.” Does his willingness to pay expenses expose him as a closet liberal or something?

    To reiterate, here’s what we now know:

    1) Mancow had intended to make it look like he was getting waterboarded when he was really trying to avoid any actual torture.
    2) After the waterboarding, he admitted he had been really, actually tortured.
    3) A right-wing talk-radio DJ has no financial incentive in disagreeing with the “Republican base” (I’m adding this one myself, I think it needs no explanation).

    Obviously, the outlier is #2. Apparently, the guy’s too honest to be a “real Republican.”

    if you really want to freak them out, just put up a sign that says “KILL WHITEY!” They’ll lose their goddamn minds and self-destruct without any further effort on your part.

  177. kpaul says:

    This has been really fun to watch actually. Obama made a smart move politically by appointing Sonyomator. He knew that the GOP would trot out their most anti-hispanic, anti-woman mouthpieces to trash her, further alienating the largest emerging voter blocs. But Tancredo? That was just a gift from Heaven. Obama held up the hoop and they just jumped right through it. It isn’t even that hard when you know exactly what your opponent will say and do before they even say or do it.

    Republicans might not be around when you retire in these states you mentioned if they continue their stupidity the way it is going now.

    Thi is just getting ridiculous. You say X, we spend lengthy and thoughtful posts explaining why not-X is the case, then you post again just to say X. Don’t you realize how brain-damaged you make yourself sound?

    Tancredo needs a little KKK history lesson.

    This clip and subsequent post from progress not congress sums it up pretty nicely.
