Tancredo: Sotomayor Pals Around With Mexican Separatists
Tancredo: Sotomayor Pals Around With Mexican Separatists
Doubling-down on his previous claim that Justice-to-be Sonia Sotomayor is a member of the “Latino KKK,” nativist former Congressman and presidential candidate Tom Tancredo (R-CO) published a column yesterday suggesting that she supports an imaginary movement of Mexican-Americans planning to wage civil war against the United States:
The last thing the Democrats want is for the American people to know about the National Council of La Raza, their radical agenda and Sotomayor’s association with the group.
Sotomayor is a member of La Raza and her comments about “Wise Latinas” being superior to white men appeared in the La Raza Law Journal. The National Council of La Raza bills itself as “the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States” who works through “its network of nearly 300 affiliated community-based organizations.”
Among these affiliates are several chapters of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán) who La Raza helps fund. Aztlán is what radical “Mechistas”—as they refer to themselves on La Raza’s website—call the American Southwest, which they claim still belongs to Mexico. Their slogan is “Por La Raza todo, Fuera de La Raza nada” meaning “For the Race everything, outside the Race nothing.” One chapter says on La Raza’s site that their mission is “empowerment of our gente and the liberation of Aztlán.”
For starters, Tancredo offers no explanation for his belief that Sotomayor, who is Puerto Rican, would somehow find common cause with Mexican-American separatists. Mr. Tancredo may be unaware of this fact, but Puerto Rico is not part of Mexico.
Moreover, Tancredo’s claim that America is threatened by Mexican-Americans eager to start a second civil war is simply absurd hate speech. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Aztlán libel is based on a radical document published in 1969, which called on Mexican-Americans to “reclaim the land of their birth” and unite to fight “oppression, exploitation and racism.” Although this document is nothing more than “a relic of the counterculture of the 1960s,” nativist hate groups have seized upon it as a supposed “founding document of a bona fide conspiracy endorsed and backed by Mexico and, in some versions, by most Mexican Americans.”
For Tancredo, however, no theory is too bizarre, so long as it bolsters his deep-seated hatred of people who don’t look like him.

August 1st, 2009 at 9:41 amDesignated minority victim groups are free to promote their anti-white racist agenda, while any whites who fight back are playing “racial politics.”
And yet he fails to see how he is playing “racial politics” just like the people he decries.
August 1st, 2009 at 9:45 amJust look at that face in the picture. “Proud to be racist.”
August 1st, 2009 at 9:49 amLa Raza supported Alberto Gonzales’ nomination for Attorney General.
’nuff said.
August 1st, 2009 at 9:49 amObviously, for Tancredo and others like him, the only relevant point is white is white, black is black, latino is latino, there is no commonality, only division. And if there were no white/black/latino issue, it would be some other division, such as catholic/ baptist/ jewish, and on and on. In short, statements like this prove that he is the very definition of a racist. For example, it is so clear that just because Sotomayor speaks spanish, regardless of any unwarranted defense she may provide, she must be a Mexican separist, and by the way, why not a basque separatist, and why not some cuban bent on exporting communist revolution. SHE’S GOT A LOT OF SPLAININ TO DO.
Perhaps the most despicable thing about him, and other republican politicians who are disseminating this bull, they, themselves can’t possibly believe this shit. They are only spreading it to the ignorant boobs who make up their base. You can tell them anything; they don’t even have the ability to know (or even care) that they are being lied to. To them it’s GOD, Country, and GUNS. And Tancredo knows that.
August 1st, 2009 at 9:49 amIt’s ok if you’re a white Republican.

August 1st, 2009 at 10:00 amI am sorry to say this BUT: It is high time for the Democratic leaders to stand-up and starts telling the American people the real truth.
August 1st, 2009 at 10:01 amThose hippocras from the conservative side, are a bunch of lairs.
It doesn’t make a different what the topic is, they put Pinocchio to sham.
A search of “Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán: and.or “Chicano Student Movement of Aztlán in the Affiliates section of the NCLR site produces NO RESULT
A search of “liberation on the NCLR site produces NO RESULT.
A search of “liberty” produces 8 results
A search of “Aztlan” produces ONE mention of the word:
1. Statement of Raul Yzaguirre, NCLR President on La Voz De Aztlan (News).
From which the following is excerpted:
Washington, DC – Recently the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) became aware of a website and other information that is being circulated on the Internet by La Voz de Aztlan. The phrases the site frequently uses, “La Raza de Aztlan” or “La Raza,” are generic terms that many use to refer to Mexican American people in this country. NCLR has no connection whatsoever to the website or its sponsoring group.
I am issuing this somewhat unusual statement because, after a cursory review of the website, I found it to be full of reprehensible and bigoted references toward a number of communities – in particular, to the Jewish American community. No responsible Latino organization or leader of my acquaintance agrees with the misinformation being dispensed on the site, nor do I know of any who concur with the grotesque stereotypes that appear in many of its alleged “articles.”
Tancredo isn’t just ’spinning’, or suing spurious logic, he’s just LYING (what a shock!).
August 1st, 2009 at 10:03 amCorrection: Tancredo isn’t just ’spinning’, or using spurious logic, he’s just LYING (what a shock!).
Though he;s no longer in office, he is personally and professionally committed to the GOP, and appears in the media to opine on the GOP’s behalf. If the MSM picks up this story–which they should because the Sotomayor conformation is important—which among them will take the two minutes I just took to prove that Tancredo is a liar? MSNBC? The LA Times?
August 1st, 2009 at 10:12 amWhich will actually SAY he’s a LIAR? None of them, I’ll bet.
if Kuckoo Tancredo is so concernee about separatists he ought to be scolding Texas Governut, “we will secede” Perry and the republican loons of Georgia. They’re the only ones talking about separation.
August 1st, 2009 at 10:18 amhmmm… “tancredo”… what kind of name is that? origins?

August 1st, 2009 at 10:38 amTancredo is a monster.
August 1st, 2009 at 10:40 amOkay, admittedly I’ve been naive. I thought that, with the huge election of a minority to the office of POTUS, we as a nation would keep racism and bigotry on the down low and attack the President on his policies, his cabinet, his choice of words, whatever the GNOP thought they could use against him to regain power.
Never in my wildest dreams did I believe that this nation would take long-held ignorant racism out of the closet and wear it proudly, showing off the hatred of “other” with such gusto, that a national party would not only embrace the racism but would use it as their platform, and with the national media fully complying by reporting without condemning.
I am not in any way proud of what this nation has become, and I hate the GNOP even more for creating a situation where I feel this way.

August 1st, 2009 at 10:40 amLou Dobbs still has not proven that his wife is a legal citizen of the United States of America. We are waiting for the vault copy of her American birth certificate, Lou! As of right now, we believe she’s an illegal alien from Mexico that Dobbs illegally married so he could have someone mow his lawn, take care of his laundry, and someone he could have sex with because no American woman would.
August 1st, 2009 at 10:42 amWait you mean people actually believe that Mexicans immigrate here not to send money back to families in Mexico but lay seeds for a war?
Wow these guys are loons. I lived in the orange counties of Florida where many Mexicans work, and they only want to make some kind of cash so they can support their family, never saying anything bad about this country. Granted that could be form just fear of being turned on.
Have they stopped to think that if they, somehow they do manage to take the southwest, that with the will lose its value with a United States Seal?
August 1st, 2009 at 10:44 amIf guilt by ethnic association exists, then Tancredo must hang around with the very Italian Mafia.
August 1st, 2009 at 10:45 amFor starters, Tancredo offers no explanation for his belief that Sotomayor, who is Puerto Rican, would somehow find common cause with Mexican-American separatists. Mr. Tancredo may be unaware of this fact, but Puerto Rico is not part of Mexico.
Oh, stop polluting the discourse with facts and logic! They’re both brown people, they both speak Spanish, and they both want to steal the precious bodily fluids of white people. What more do you need to know?
August 1st, 2009 at 10:47 amwell said, mom…
especially this part: the national media fully complying
by reporting without condemning.
they opine about everything else, but suddenly reserve the “report the facts” rule when it comes to this ugliness…
it’s all about the ratings…
August 1st, 2009 at 10:49 amFunny. I don’t recall Tancredo ever having a vote in Sotomayor’s nomination.
Tom STFU
August 1st, 2009 at 10:52 amTancredo is an idiot. I hope he hears from many Mexican Americans how offensive and foolish this is. Not that it would change his thinking. But he should hear it anyway.
August 1st, 2009 at 10:58 amTancredo is an idiot. I hope he hears from many Mexican Americans how offensive and foolish this is. Not that it would change his thinking. But he should hear it anyway.
I don’t think we should limit that to Mexican-Americans. I think everyone should tell him how offensive and foolish this is.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:01 amHas this man ever noticed that Mexico is our neighbor to the south? He is aware that Hispanic people have lived in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Arizona since before the American revolution, right? This is nonsense, and to blame all the problems, weird ideas of every Latino on Sotomayor is really nonsense. America is a land of many races and religions, we are a diverse people Tom, Hispanics are us, and they aren’t scary!
August 1st, 2009 at 11:01 amI wonder how Tancredo views his family history? Is he of German extract?
August 1st, 2009 at 11:03 amTancredi,Tangredi: From the first name Tancredo of GERMAN origin. Wonder if Tom has a Nazi SS Stormtroopers in his family? (Italyworldclub.com/genealogy/surnames/t.htm)
Or is he a Italian “Guinea”?
“The most vile racial slur that can be used against a Italian-American.Refers to the Guines Coast of Africa; using this slur isa very offensive way of implying that Italian-Americans are non-whites…!” (Urban Dictionary)
Any suggestions of what family group Tancredo belongs to?
This is what the GOP has become. Shrill. Violent. Isolated. Unhinged. De-evolving on a national scale into a dank and hideous intelligence.
Ralph the wonder llama is right when he say stop polluting (GOP) discourse(?) with fact and logic, emphasis mine. GOP discourse is truly an oxymoron if there ever was one.
It is no longer about “thinking” with today’s Republicans and Christian Values Conservatives. They are tossing away any remnants of logic and civility daily. They do not seem able to see beyond the ends of their angry white noses.
Having no fear of their hypocrisies revealed, over and over again, and with their God in their pocket, they seem quite willing to use any means possible to inflict their “vision” of America on the rest of us.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:04 amTancredo’s claim that America is threatened by Mexican-Americans eager to start a second civil war is simply absurd hate speech.
If there is a 2nd civil war, the United States should go on another “Sherman’s March” through all the sessionist Slave States. Only this time, let’s not be as civil as Sherman.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:05 amCongress should seriously consider passing legislation to enable nut-sacks like Tancredo to individually secede from the United States. It is very apparent that he is unhappy with our country and it would be very humane to allow him to withdraw from our Union.
I am thinking that such a law could set aside a couple thousand acres in Alabama to which such “seceded individuals” could relocate. Then, they could put a big bubble around themselves — no TV other than FoxSnooze; nothing but right-wing rant-radio on the airwaves; etc.
I can think of a l-o-o-o-o-ng list of candidates to inhabit this “bubble” . . . starting with Bailin’ Failin’ Palin, Darth Cheney (and his whole brood), Little Seanie Vanity and a good share of the republican members of Congress.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:10 am. . . and, in the absence of such an “individual secession” law, we should just all shun lunatics such as Tancredo.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:14 amTancredo?
WTF?
Nobody with a vowel on the end of their name has any business complaining about immigrants…

I’ve considered your proposal re: moving nuts to a place like say–Texas, and I have concluded that it is a good idea. However, eventually the nuts will try to ‘cross the border’ in order to improve their lives, take our jobs, pollute our minds, buy American goods, etc.

August 1st, 2009 at 11:36 amJust more disingenuous nonsense intended to deceive the public with the goal of inciting fear and hatred of ethnic minorities. Most members of the GOP at least have the good sense not to show their hand so blatantly.

August 1st, 2009 at 12:01 pmTancredo and his ilk should keep speaking out the ignorant spew they think passes for rhetoric. They will ensure that every intelligent conservative and republican will flee the party. It will guarantee the pubs will be the party of ignorant hate that draws and keeps all the hysterical fanatics no one wants! At least all the nuters will be in one place, where we can keep an eye on them. Nice way to cut your own throat, pubs.. bashing and disrespecting people of color,women and anyone with any intelligence is going to fill that pup tent, that sits perched on the lip of the aybss, Bravo!!!!!

if it didn’t they wouldn’t be wasting time on it.
Obama’s support has been a mile wide and an inch deep. If he cannot deliver on expectations–and he cannot–his support will erode swiftly and irretrievably.
More and more I’m believing Obama’s election was and is mainly cosmetic, designed to 1) alleviate some of the international embarrassment of endemic USer racism, 2) provide a scapegoat to absorb all the responsibility for the past 30 years of crypto-fascism, and 3) to prepare the electorate for the next Bush.
August 1st, 2009 at 12:37 pmMiddull (White) Murka will oppose any government proposal that appears to offer advantages and/or benefits to racially despised minorites by reducing racial disparities.
Disparities in health, housing, employment, and the distribution of wealth all qualify. Whitey would rather face hardships themselves than permit members of “unworthy/undeserving” minorities even an iota of what Whitey demands aas her/his racial “due.”

August 1st, 2009 at 12:46 pmSpencers mom at 19: thank you for saying so accurately the pain I’m feeling in my heart these days.
After Bush, I never thought I could hate Republicans any more than I did then.
I was wrong. My God, was I wrong! These people have sunk to heretofore unplumbed depths of lunacy and ugliness and bigotry – and worse, they have exposed that toxic rot to the light of day for all of us to see.
They scare the crap out of me every day, and make me ashamed to belong to the same species.
Perhaps we ought to designate a new Latin name for them to point up that they are a different species than the rest of us: homo insania

Don’t no one go telling Terrible Two Tantrum Tommy Tancredo that the old NM/Southern CO land grant alliance is going active again.

He’ll be out there screeching about how James Polk didn’t have no right to sign off on the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hildalgo, and ’sides, those trusty brave white Colorado pioneers done run off all the Meskins and Injuns and kilt whichever couldn’t move fast enough…
(Tancredo and his birther and racist friends are not going to quit until they croak, and even when they arrive in Hell, they’ll probably annoy Lucifer to the point where he has to send them off to a very dark, very cold place. And he’ll risk the sanity of some poor decrepit demon by sending him to put up a mental health quarantine sign at the entrance; “Abandon rationality all ye who enter here”.)
August 1st, 2009 at 12:59 pmTancredo pals around with the “birther” retards and the Klan.
By the way, Lou Dobbs is a moron.
August 1st, 2009 at 1:02 pmHaving just moved OUT of Tommy Terrific’s district in Colorado, the FACTS about Tommy are tame in the media. He truly represents himself as a racist and since he thinks that the earth was only created 6000 years ago, his baseline stupidity shows even worse in his day-to-day dealings with locals..

Whites did overwhelmingly vote for Obama.
In my opinion we see the GNOP out there and thru their corporate media desperately trying to stir up the race issues to build up their dwindling party. They are following talking points/marching orders …. it isn’t just out of the blue all these goppers are coming up with the same nonsense.
Their strategy:
This ploy is pathetic and will backfire. No doubt we do have racists in our country, but not like before… and we now have a rainbow of many colors which must be taking the GNOP’s actions as offensive.

August 1st, 2009 at 3:25 pmYes, Mr. Tancredo. You are absolutely right!
Between the Mexican-American separatists, the unqualified, radical President Obama agenda using healtcare as means of reparations for slavery, denying treatment for older, white folks and encouraging abortion while providing free treatment for illegals, the appeasement before muslims and the take over of american businesses in the road to communism, SOMEONE HAS TO TAKE BACK THE COUNTRY!

August 1st, 2009 at 3:39 pmIt’s just becoming plainly evident that republicans don’t want to win elections any more.

if it didn’t they wouldn’t be wasting time on it.
As the corporate powers that be = media, insurance, Big Pharma, defense… many interconnected with one another use the GNOP as their propaganda mouth piece. The media stirs up war to profit in defense. The media thru GNOP stirs up lies for political and corporate gain…. what we are seeing with all the lies on health care and in my opinion the sudden flow of race baiting.
* We all need to stand together, debunk the GNOP lies and not allow them to tear US apart thru race baiting.
* To end the madness passing campaign finance reform would be a good idea – as Congress is more concerned over the fact the corporate powers that be will finance campaigns against them causing a lost election rather than voting the will of the people.
it is :
corporate powers that be vs. We the People of all races and groups.

all they gotta do is tap the deep, already existant, latent and manifest resentment of the poor, lower and lower-middle class white folks towards their “inferiors” who “just want a handout” with the suggestion that what the despised minority needs for justice will deprive the already economically and socially suppressed ‘trailer trash’ what they think shoulod be their due…
been working for 100- years, mas o menos…
August 1st, 2009 at 4:14 pmIt is only “racial politics” if you have brown skin. Otherwise it is status quo, normal social interaction.

conservative guy,
I assume your premise is a white vote for Obama was a guilt vote. I assure you that one old white guy voted for Obama and it had nothing to do with guilt. Your argument falls apart because of a false premise.
Convince yourself that there were white votes cast for Obama that were given for merit. His race had nothing to do with the selection.
Obama was the best candidate for the job in the eyes of many a white person.
August 1st, 2009 at 8:44 pmTom Tancredo’s comments do not deserve a rebuttal. Let them stand on their own merit. This is a projection of the very core of the Republican Party and it deserves to stand in its rightful place in history.
August 1st, 2009 at 8:52 pmReasonable people don’t feel compelled to legitimize a diatribe such as this.
One thing is very clear: Tom Klan-credo doesn’t like mexicans, blacks, or anyone who isn’t white. He uses a smile when he throws around racists remarks, so I guess that makes it ok. This sick little weasle is going to burn in hell for his hate.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:21 pmThe GOP will not stop until they alienate everyone who is not white, rich, and/or stupid.
They’ve got a pretty good track record going.

I gave your sickeningly stupid post its final push into the sewer where both it AND you belong
August 2nd, 2009 at 5:22 amMy vote for Obama had nothing to do with guilt, because after 8 years of Dumbya Bush, I would have voted for whoever the Democrat candidate was. I also liked Obama for his intelligence–not just because we are alums of the same university. Moreover, although I don’t dislike McCain, the idea of Sarah Palin one 72-year cancer survivor’s heartbeat away from the Presidency was truly frightening. McCain’s attempt to capture some disgruntled Hillary voters with Bible spice was an absymal failure, as the former Miss Wasila is an airhead who stands for none of the rights most women support.

You forgot to mention former first dude, Todd Palin, a member of the Alaska independence movement.

August 2nd, 2009 at 2:02 pmIs there any so-called minority voting bloc in American that will vote for Republicans in 2010? African Americans? Hispanics? Gays? Two-headed albino Aborigines?
August 2nd, 2009 at 2:09 pmMcCain was going to be Gore’s running mate and backed out at the eleventh hour. McCain is a supporter of LaRaza, despite their radical agenda, to get Latino votes in his area, which is heavily latino.
Cap and trade is Corporatist concept which further shifts the wealth of the world away from the poorest and into the pockets of the wealthiest. If you listen to and believe the rhetoric without researching what is the truth, you are a pawn of Corporatism whether you vote Republican or Democrat.
There are good men/women left in the Democratic party, McKinney, Kucinich, Gravel, then there are the statist like Clinton and Obama who could have easily run as Republicans with their politics (globalism, foreign policy, fiscal policy, privacy policy, Constitutional policy). Just because they say they are pro-gay marriage doesn’t make their other policies any less fascist than George W.

LaRaza is a civil rights group. Give the hysteria pushed by the right a rest. Yeah I know cap and trade was originally the conservative position. If politics is the art of the possible it is what is possible. If YOU know how to get a Kucinch elected and REAL progressive wholesale changes made then let us in on the secret or explain why your position isnt letting the perfect get in the way of, well at least something that MIGHT help and all we CAN get. I am with you overall. I am a green. I left the Democratic party when they put Joe Lieberman on the ticket as VP. Dont you think that if we elect someone slightly left and he gets some things done in the end we have a better chance for a Kucinich or Feingold down the road than if the somewhat, slightly to the left considering the spectrum Obama is elected then we assue he gets NOTHING done by attacking his policies and he gets NOTHING done to help?
Again. If YOU know a way to get a REAL lefty Like Kucinich or McKinney eleted next election let me know I will sign up tomorrow
