Here's a gagger: Huerta stands up for her speech

A month after her controversial remarks at Tucson High Magnet School, labor activist Dolores Huerta has come forward to defend her speech.

After remaining quiet through most of the subsequent debate about her April 3 "Republicans hate Latinos" comment, Huerta appeared on the Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" on Tuesday to talk about her remarks.

Huerta, who has not returned calls from the Arizona Daily Star, dodged questions from host Bill O'Reilly about her position on whether the U.S.-Mexican border should be open or closed. But she defended her "Republican" comment, which O'Reilly called a "disservice" to the students. --snip--

I saw that "interview"--really, a lot of questions from O'R, and a lot of tapdancing from Huerta. I'm not sure she answered any of his questions at all, except the one on Republicans.
