When I hear the left call someone a "racist", my brain translates it to "The left just announced it lost an argument with someone."

Right you are!

"It is men like this gentleman who continue to project the old Archie Bunker mentality. Those stats are prostituted and fabricated," said state Rep. William Delgado, D-Chicago.

That's just a smokescreen. He's upset because Oberweis is talking about democrat voters.

He might as well quit now. Once the race card is on the table, it trumps any issue you bring up.

I understand that members of the racist Congressional Hispanic Caucus are also upset over what Oberweis said.

Sure. Say you're against illegal immigration and you're automatically a "racist."

Absolutely. Just like the 40% of Latino voters who voted in favor of Prop 187 in California, which would have cut off most benefits to illegal aliens. Based on the logic of the illegal immigration cheerleaders, all of those Latino voters must be racist.

"Hmmm... makes it kind of racist to say it's racist doesnt' it?"

Yes, it does.
