Tancredo was too crazy to go to 'Nam when it was his turn, but now he's sane enough to serve in Congress, and some people want him to become President and get his finger on The Button?

I was surprised too. Found a second article on it.

I didn't know much about him until he became the champion of a few of the 'Karl Rove is evil, Bush is not a true conservative' posters.

Do a search on him. The more I find....wow. He's extremely unpopular with Hispanics, and not just because of his anti-immigration stands (he calls the illegals foreign invaders and criminal terrorists). He's supports and has given speeches for Glenn Spencer’s American Patrol, and Barbara Coe’s California Coalition for Immigration Reform - listed as hate groups along with the KKK, Aryan Nation, American Nazi Party, etc. The Mexican press of course hates him. A contractor that remodeled his home used illegal immigrants, Tancredo knew but did nothing. He refuses to talk to print reporters but will talk to radio or TV. Submitted a measure to abolish all race-based caucuses like the Black Congressional Caucus (ok - that's kinda of funny and true, race based organizations are annoying but there is this little thing of freedom of association...besides, that's politically stupid)

Anyhow, the more I find out - like before, only the previously pro-Tancredo blogs were nice, for the rest, controversial and colorful to be nice. CNN uses him as the "upset Republican" when McCain isn't available.

Who lists these groups as "hate" groups ... Morris Dee's Commie organization ... Southern Poverty Law Center, or the equally commie ADL?

Got any proof to back up this claim?
