Tom Tancredo: Racist And Crazy

2008-10-21T15:30:26Z

First of all, you may have seen the recent reports on Tom Tancredo re Vietnam. Yup, like every GOPer with any power, he was a draft dodger.

But his excuse may be the first one I can agree with. He used "mental illness" as his reason for not going and fighting. Honestly, take a look at the guy, and tell me you can argue with that.

More recently, there has been his jihad against the Univision Republican debate, which he didn't attend. So watch this utterly racist ad he put out to convince his fellow GOPers to boycott the debate, and join him in Klan-like celebration.

Logisitics of Tonight's Spanish Language Debate
The Democratic presidential candidates will meet in Miami tonight for Univisión's Spanish-language, and the Miami Herald explains how the event will work.

Questions will be asked in Spanish, interpreted to English by a single translator to earpieces all the candidates are required to wear -- even fluent speakers Bill Richardson and Chris Dodd. The candidates' responses must be said in English and then translated into Spanish. "Minor time delays are anticipated."

"The audience at the University of Miami can wear headsets to hear the debate in either language, while English-speaking television viewers can follow at home via closed captioning."

I watched Senator Dodd yesterday give a speech about his vision for the future of U.S.-Cuba relations. It was a very good speech, sure to cause controversy, but the best part was his absolute ease in speaking Spanish in front of a Hispanic crowd- taking questions in Spanish and answering them. (Turns out he worked in the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic not far from where I once lived)

I'm sure tonight is going to showcase Dodd & Richardson for obvious reasons, and that will be nice for a change.
