Seems to me that the Democrats are self imploding.

I heard him..non repentant and shameless.

Once again we see that racism is okay as long as the right people are saying it. Further validates my screen name.

Re: In a variation on an old theme, a Hispanic supporter of Howard Dean called a Latina Republican Senate candidate a "house Mexican" who is not being true to her race.

Steven Ybarra, a Democratic National Committee (search) official and regional coordinator of Latinos for Dean (search), called Rosario Marin (search), the former U.S. treasurer under President Bush who is now seeking the GOP nomination to compete against California Sen. Barbara Boxer, a "house Mexican for the Republicans." The attack was sent out in a mass e-mail to political activists, community leaders and a number of journalists this week.

Well, guess we can call Steven Ybarra the "house Mexican Maddog for the DemocRATS."

[Reeses]

He added that his remarks were not meant to make reference to African-American slaves, but to suggest that Marin is a Hispanic "owned and operated" by a company or group.

In other words, he didn't mean to imply she was black. In the process of softening his insult he just insulted African-Americans worse.

I'm of hispanic ancestry, and if that man made a remark like that about me, I'd find him and punch his lights out! He isn't exactly doing the 'Rat party any favors by shouting those bigoted remarks, either....

[cupcakes]

I am so sick of this "my people" crap. When is someone going to honestly address this racist superiority crap that is being spewed from "people of color"? I will never understand a liberal who though the Jim Crowe brand of superiority was bad, but doesn't have the clarity to see that this "my people" garbage is the exact same thing, different race of people. Who has any doubt with this type of group affiliation that if "these" people came into the majority, they'd instill their own brand of Jim Crowe on "minority" whites? I have no doubt since a racist is a racist is a racist no matter what the color of skin on the outside.

[sweetliberty]

Don't you just love how THEY can get away with any kind of racial remark they want to make?

[ditto h]

Oh, please keep saying things like this. As long as these morons continue to make idiotic statements, the more seats we will pick up.

[Paradox]

I'm of hispanic ancestry,

Same here...

and if that man made a remark like that about me, I'd find him and punch his lights out!

LOL. Same here. Kinda reinforces a stereotype about "latinos" being hot-headed, but so what. Luckily, I live in one of the few areas of the country where the local latinos are conservative (South Florida, right wing Cubans, even though I am not Cuban). I have never been called a "house" anything, but to me, thats like being called the "n" word. Call me house-anything, and I'll go House on your head..

[freeangel]

This is not going to picked up by mainstream media or made a big deal of by the general public. It was only a racist remark by a democrat. SOP.

[Dane]

The demos and Buchananites are morphing together right in front of our eyes.

[Old Grumpy]

Thank God a Republican didn't say it. He'd already have been tarred, feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail.

[kaboom]

No shortage of Clymer's in the Dean campaign.

[PetroniDE]

Oh, please keep saying things like this. As long as these morons continue to make idiotic statements, the more seats we will pick up.

I disagree. We should shame this person into resignation, just like they do to us when we say 1/10th of it.

While your comment has merit you must remember something very important. A large portion of the voting public are morons too.

[DoctorMichael]

4 words..........

Bigoted, Racist, Prejudiced Democrats.

[Texan5]

Everyone out here is conservative, no matter what their ethnic makeup is, I love it....And my family has voted for conservatives ever since (and because of) LBJ's screwed up presidency.

[shiva]

"house Mexican" There is no such a one. Mexicans were never slaves or lived on plantations. That's Negro talk. That kind of talk will not go well with Latinos.

[Zechariah11]

With enemies like that, she's got my vote.

Go Rosario!
