What Karl Rove Should Tell La Raza

White House adviser Karl Rove is scheduled to speak tomorrow at the annual conference of the federally funded, left-wing, open-borders-advocacy group, the National Council of La Raza.

If he does not want his speech to look like an act of appeasement, he should confront La Raza on its opposition to commonsense policies designed to secure both U.S. borders and U.S. pocketbooks.

La Raza, which means “The Race” in Spanish, has denounced as “horrendous” and “appalling” the House immigration bill passed in December, which was sponsored by Judiciary Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R.-Wis.) and supported by the overwhelming majority of House Republicans. The bill, which calls for tough worksite enforcement of immigration laws and 700 miles of border fencing, was condemned by La Raza as a “laundry list of mean-spirited and intrusive provisions concocted by the most radical immigrations restrictionists in Congress.”

Will Rove defend the immigration reforms passed by President Bush’s party in the House and tell La Raza that House Republicans are neither “mean-spirited” nor “radical”? He should. House Republicans deserve Rove’s support.

"And we know what Karl Rove said to J.D. Hayworth... "You just have a problem with brown people." "

A Google search of the bold show the only one on the internet saying this is you. A statement like that would have gotten around big time.

In his new book, Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-Ariz.) says that White House adviser Karl Rove accused him of racism when the congressman expressed his disdain for a proposed U.S.-Mexico agreement that would prevent double-taxing citizens from both countries for Social Security. “The president thanked me for being candid and said he would consider my views,” Hayworth writes. “But Rove became somewhat exasperated and spluttered, ‘You just don’t want to help brown people, do you?’”

"Nothing 'namby-pamby' in Hayworth's tome By Carrie Sheffield

In his new book, Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-Ariz.) says that White House adviser Karl Rove accused him of racism when the congressman expressed his disdain for a proposed U.S.-Mexico agreement that would prevent double-taxing citizens from both countries for Social Security.

“The president thanked me for being candid and said he would consider my views,” Hayworth writes. “But Rove became somewhat exasperated and spluttered, ‘You just don’t want to help brown people, do you?’”

I would like to see Karl Rove explain to everyone whether he said that or not.

[garbageseeker]

"You just have a problem with brown people."


Did he or did he not say that? That is the question.

[garbageseeker]

You just have a problem with brown people."

If I was a Hispanic person, I would be very offended by that statement.

[Anti-Bubba182]

"‘You just don’t want to help brown people, do you?’”

"You just have a problem with brown people."

OK thanks, the wording is a bit different.

[garbageseeker]

No Problems

[garbageseeker]

What are your thoughts?

[garbageseeker]

"You just have a problem with brown people."

Even with that, I would be offended if I was Hispanic. A person calling Hispanic people "brown people"

[Anti-Bubba182]

The actual quote is a little milder. I am surprised there was
not a big deal made of this in MSM. The racial overtones alone should have been enough, but it looks like Kos hit it around and some others and the quote was not a headline.

[garbageseeker]

It should of been made a big deal in the MSM. Its like the old racial slurs of calling blacks the racial term "mud baby"

[garbageseeker]

That is on par with that. And the Presidents adviser called Hispanics "brown people". That is very racist and elitist.

That is on par with that. And the Presidents adviser called Hispanics "brown people". That is very racist and elitist.

I do believe the former President Bush caught flak for referring to his grand children as "the little brown ones".

[garbageseeker]

Calling a Hispanic people as "brown people" is very racist. Its like using the "n" word to a black person. I dare you to say to a Hispanic "You are a pretty brown person" and see how long you would last.

[garbageseeker]

Karl Rove made a racial statement to refer Hispanics as "brown people"

[garbageseeker]

I dare you to say to a Hispanic "You are a pretty brown person" and see how long you would last

If you said that in East Los Angeles, you would probably end up in the hospital.
