McCain and La Raza/The Race: A “serious lapse of judgment”

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.

Kent-ostensibly-trapped-in-liberal-Seattle (what's keeping him from leaving?) has been for some time now, along with some others, on a feverish mission of rage against McCain and Kamikaze strikes against rank-and-file Republicans.

Please remember to clean up after squeezing out one of those from now on, peanut.

"Feverish mission of rage." LOLOLOLOL!!!!!

If you want to win, you have to reach out to all sort of characters from Hagee to La Raza

La Raza is a racist hate group whose main objective is placing a large section of sovereign United States territory under Mexican jurisdiction. They are an enemy entity and should be treated as such. McCain, if he had a set, should be castigating them, not rewarding them with legitimacy and publicity.

Whatever you're smoking, it can't be legal.

Although I cannot in good conscience vote for McCain, I will vote in November for any Conservatives running in the other races. At least I can make Congress as conservative as possible.

Agreed. See #12. ;)

That and more sum up my thoughts on the subject.

It would seem to me that a person would just about have to be a collaborator to agree with some of this stuff.

I’ve got a conversation going on right now that touches on this subject, with a guy that seems to profess that he should know a whole lot better. You have to simply ask yourself, “What is really going on here?” as they defend the defenseless, by twisting themselves into knots to do it.

You McCain assclowns are selling out U.S. national sovereignty and threatening National Security much more effectively than al Qaeda can ever do on its own. Congratulations for that, too.

Amen.

I wouldn't get too upset, my guess is that "The_Republican" owns either a painting or landscaping company.

Or just an automaton that marches with the party.

"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."

Quoted for truth.

That's why suicidal purist bitcons have now found themselves without a party and any representation in Washington. They brought it on themselves, and I for one don't feel a bit sorry for them.

[Antonio C]

More than likely he is willing to put his ego aside and vote for the best candidate unlike you childish bitcons.

Look, amnesty of some form is going to be passed into law no matter who becomes president. It’s a done deal. Move on to the actual important issues like the WOT.

"Look, amnesty of some form is going to be passed into law no matter who becomes president."

Remains to be seen, but the odds are against you. It won't be up to the three losers currently pretending to be real presidential candidates. So far, the notion of amnesty has been torn to bits every time it has been put forward.

Sorry, "mi amigo." The fight is not close to being lost. If you don't like it, ¡Mordeme!

Move on to the actual important issues like the WOT.

Hate to tell ya--most people find the amnesty issue to be more of a threat to the United States than the WOT.

The fact that it is being pushed by Hugo Chavez loving communists should concern you--why doesn't it?

[calcowgirl]

Ooops... I meant to put you on my ping above, not Liz. LOL.

Sorry about that. :-)

[Czar]

For shame, cg!

No harm/no foul...

Got any evidence to back that up or are you just pulling that out of thin air?

........the notion of amnesty has been torn to bits every time it has been put forward........

There is no other issue that unites the political spectrum as does anti-amnesty.

One has only to ask Hillary----she still bears the scars of liberal NY Dems reacting to her support for licensing illegals.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Yup. See #15.

It's what's going to cost Juan the election, this year... and deservedly so. ;)

[Liz]

Forget amnesty ......Move on to the actual important issues like the WOT..............

WOT---yawn.

Must be one of those pukeneos doing a little poselytizing to make a few bucks.........(snore).

"Greater love hath no man, that he would willingly make a shrieking, hysterical ass of himself online, on behalf of his pool boy."

That is THE Freeper quote of the year.

I am humbled before your wit.
