The vicious rhetoric coming from the likes of Buchanan, and at times, Tancredo, do nothing to win folks to our ideas.
When people turn the radio on and hear slurs and slams they are not inclined to listen to our ideas.
I agree but there is more to it. Tom Tancredo is not a wacko nor is he radical. The problem he has is his quotes and comments are not reported in their entirety. The media picks parts clearly designed to inflame and upset the public. He could temper them more, I guess, but they would not be as effective on the stump.
