The open-borders media has been AWOL on John McCain’s decision to speak to the radical racialist group, La Raza/The Race in July. He has been allowed to skate on the issue in several recent sit-down interviews. Many of the same pundits who blasted Barack Obama for his ties to the radical racialist Jeremiah Wright have nothing to say about McCain’s longtime association with the shamnesty-pushing, sovereignty-undermining, publicly-subsidized shakedown artists of La Raza/The Race.
Not everyone’s looking the other way. Editorial page editor Colin McNickle at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review warned today:
“McCain had made significant progress in reaching out to conservatives over the last month or so. But his La Raza embrace is a serious lapse of judgment, one of a number of lapses that, if the primaries are a valid indicator, could lead to a full quarter of the Republican electorate staying home on Nov. 4.”
Guess McCain’s counting on all his left-wing global warming fear-mongering friends to make up the difference.

Related from The Other McCain: Mr. Reformer’s Glass House.
Is this Barack, Hillary or John?
La Bite Me.
"Backpedal."
I assumed you were capable of knowing that when I said Democrate agree with Al Raza, I meant the Democrats who are actually in Power.....like Obama and Hillary.
"I assumed that when I intentionally (and inaccurately) used the capitalized words 'MOST' and'ALL,' you'd naturally translate those as really meaning 'Obama' and 'Hillary.'" ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
Maximum Fail, kiddo.
Thanks for playing, though!
Probably not. I suspect he's just another "Republican-First, and Conservative only if it happens to match the Party line" shill, whose main purpose is to be a McCain apologist so that we all feel compelled to swallow the Party line.
Most of these folks are boring and predictable. I must say that this one is not as dull as most, and I do owe a certain amount of respect for the fact that he's been on FR for a decade, considerably longer than me.
Nevertheless... he just said:
> La Bite Me.
Hmmm. I think not. I'm still full from dinner, thanks.
Shhhhhh. Shhhhhhh, now.
You've still got a little bit on your lip, right there.
Thanks for sharing your pic! Maybe someday you would recover from the shock of McCain meeting hateful evil terror group. LOL.
They certainly do have their sad little... ahhhhhh... "issues," don't they...? ;)
If Malkin is so brilliant and so right on all the issues, why doesn’t she run for office? Any office? Lets find out if people like her are capable of cracking 15%. Calling people radical and extermists everyday is easy, untill you crawl out of the dungeon and actually face the people. She would very quickly find out that the people think she is the one who is angry, hateful and extemist.
Nah, I don’t think Hannity or O’Reilly or Malkin or rest of that crowd would ever bother to actually want to run for office. Its a truth they don’t want to find out.
Its much easier to exploit frustated people and make a quick buck.
Almost as funny as "McCain is a True Conservative".
If it's MY justified frustration and THEIR dollars, what's the problem?
You really are not helping yourself or McPain. You’d do better by just saying *nothing*. I assume you have at least an average IQ and just do not know how badly you come off.
By your own bucktoothed "logic," quoted verbatim above: Fat Teddy Kennedy, John Effin' Kerry, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi and every other 'Rat office holder, ever, is more "brilliant" and "right" "on the issues" than Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Steyn, etcetera, etcetera.
That is -- not to put too fine a point on it -- the position of an imbecile.
Quelle surprise.
How do you know, “coming off badly” in your eyes is not a compliment in my eyes?
Look: some of us may very well hold our noses and vote for this liberal in Republican drag (sound familiar?) but we will NEVER buy most of his past or present policies no matter HOW MANY POSTS you make. Understand? I typed slowly so you might finally get it...
That is correct. You are getting it now. If you want to win, you have to reach out to all sort of characters from Hagee to La Raza.
However, suicidal purists, they consider it beneath them to reach out and try and win.
That is correct.
'Nuff Said.
Imbeciles are the ones who want to refuse to see reality around them and demand everyone else commit suicide along with them.
No Thanks. Hope you find peace in fringeville.
Reminds me of a joke, putatively a favorite of Leo Szilard: There was a rabbi who always agreed with everybody, whatever they said, but one time at his home while entertaining guests, he agreed in quick succession with two of his guests expressing contradictory opinions. This was too much for his wife. “How can you possibly agree with him when you just agreed with the exact opposite opinion a minute ago! That’s ridiculous!” she exclaimed. “You know,” said the rabbi, “You’re right!”
