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.

Do you think that he should apologize?
If you mean Rove, no. Rove's comment was meant as a crack at Hayworth's hard line in an informal conversation. I don't think Rove meant anything sinister.
It sure did not sound like a joke. Especially,when you are calling Hispanics "brown people"
Pence a sell-out? Boggles the mind? Where's the sarcasm tag?
Just 5 days ago, you were singing his praises.
If what you write above is not sarcasm, then what changed your mind?
I don't mean to drag one debate in from another thread, but what gives?
Just 5 days ago, you were cock-sure Pence's plan would do everything but bring back Christ himself. (That was sarcasm, btw)
What's George W. Bush's excuse for not enforcing the immigration laws already on the books? (Cheers, jeers at immigration town hall meeting)
Bump
Well I expect that George Herbert Walker Bush would probably get his butt kicked in East Los Angelos if he referred to his grand children as "the little brown ones". I probably wouldn't though.
I think if went up to someone in any part of Los Angeles and said to a Hispanic person and said"Hello, little brown person" you would end up in the hospital. Its a racist statement pure and simple. Its like saying the "n" word. Calling a Hispanic "brown people" is racist and their "n" word. What Karl Rove said was racist.
Oh, you'll have to tell me how Karl is helping them gain power.
Surely Alan has met with some disreputable people. I'd bank on it.
And Alan has just discussed that Black should be delivered from slavery, although it's a nice dodge of you to pretend that all he's said about the issue. He thinks we white folks who have had family members die in the Civil War to free the slaves should pay black Americans our hard earned cash.
How unAmerican is that?
East LA or any part of LA? I can't recall if George Herbert Walker Bush went to the hospital for calling his grandchildren "the little brown ones"? Ya think maybe Karl Rove picked it up from the old man? He worked for the old man before he worked for junior.
Maybe Rove will open with "Wetbacks, beaners, lend me your ears"

"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?’”
But not even Rove can bend Hayworth’s stubborn certainty as he lays out his case against illegal immigration in Whatever It Takes. The 200-page missive, co-written with Chief of Staff Joe Eule, puts the smackdown on guest-worker legislation — a euphemism for amnesty, in his view.
“I have no doubt that when this book is published, I will be pilloried by the elite media — and even by some Republicans,” Hayworth writes. “But when it comes to our border security and illegal immigration, I will not be cowed into inaction because of what ‘namby-pamby’ editorial writers at The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal or even what Karl Rove might say.”
"You just have a problem with brown people."
What I quoted is what Hayworth said over the radio Rove told him. If anyone has an issue with the exact wording; call J.D. Hayworth's office.
But either way Rove is trying to make a "brown people" issue out of a "law & order" issue...
where I come from that's called "race baiting"
It's bad enough that we have to take that kind of BS from the Left morons but when GWB's own adviser tries to shove it in our faces; Rove can keep his "race baiting" remarks to himself if that's the best rebuttal he can come up with for Bush administration not enforcing the immigration laws in America.
And you can tell Rove that we'll find someone who WILL secure the ports & borders and enforce the immigration laws in 2008.
Let me know when Karl Rove climbs out of the gutter!
When you are reduced to lying, you've lost the debate.
Better luck next time.
And give Obama our regards.
By the way, you really should try to concentrate. This thread is about Karl Rove standing in for the President at a racist La Raza meeting. It's really sad that you're not only not outraged, you attack those who are.
So you're denying that Alan Keyes wants blacks to be paid slave reparations? This is why no one listens to you.
BTW, I'm still waiting for you to tell us how Rove has endorsed La Raza. Yet another lie by you.
His presence at their event legitimizes them. Duh.
How does it feel to be joined at the hip with Bill Clinton and a band of racists?
I don't know - how do you feel being joined at the hip with failed candidates and a candidate who wants to tax white Americans to death to pay slave reparations?
Which organizations has Alan Keyes gone to that we could attack? Several, I'll bet.
