The Democratic National Committee accused their GOP counterparts of using "offensive" language after a Republican spokeswoman accused Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley of "Hispandering."
A spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee made the comments in a Sunday BuzzFeed profile of O'Malley and his efforts to court Latino voters ahead of a potential run for president in 2016.
"Winning elections is based on substance and so far Martin O’Malley is relying on Hispandering to win," RNC spokeswoman Izzy Santa said. "Talking about immigration and hoping no one pays attention to his failed economic record will not overcompensate for his dismissal of the Hispanic community and attempts to play divisive racial politics."
The Democratic National Committee Director of Hispanic Media, Pili Tobar, fired back with a statement describing the phrase "Hispandering" as both "silly" and "offensive."
"The RNC can’t call for a substantive dialogue, then eight words later coin a silly and offensive phrase that demeans issues important to Latinos," Tobar said.
Tobar went on to tout O'Malley's record on Latino issues like immigration reform.

Democrats do not have a sense of humor. Certainly not while they are in power
My governor Martin O Malley.
Nobody ever said they fought fair.
The cat from the alley.
They are freaked and need to stop that word as fast as they can. It sings, and has legs, ,,, and they know it.
Hopefully this will be met with laughter and not apologies. Democrats have zero sense of humor.
Whitehispanicing?
Wiselatinaing?
He’s a real model citizen, ain’t he bro....
That’s “offensive”?
I guess “offensive” = “the truth hurts”
That would make a great replacement name for Redskins!
The Washington Hispanderers!
Their Cheer could be: Your protection is so weak that it is as if you are defenseless! We will flow through to the promise land unabated!
The democrats are hispandering, and it is offensive.
Only THEY are allowed to Hispander..................is that a real word?...........Kinda like gerunding...............
If Jeb Bush ever wins the GOP primary the left will gleefully accuse him of Hispandering because the Left is devoid of shame.
However the BEFORE Jeb Wins that primary the GOP will stuipidly think that Jeb will have the media in their pocket for all eternity if he wins the Primary....
The GOP establishment is that damned stuipid...
They would gleefully listen to the crocadile promise it won’t bite if they shove their hyand in it’s mouth and then is suprised when the croc bears down on their arm, only to repeat it all over again after the croc has had it’s fill and starts promising not to bite again....
The GOP Establishment is THE definition of INSANE when it comes to the media.
Hispandering to Mexicons.....
The democrats are hispandering, and it is offensive.
The Republicans ie. Jeb Bush and his GOPe ilk try to Hispander, but it fails miserably because the mainstream media certainly always “finds” it offensive.
Quick! add that word to the list of words that Whites can’t say without being called racist.
I have added a nifty new word to my vocabulary!
Hispandering. I love it!
