I didn’t know much about them, but you were KIND enough to provide a link. Now I have some idea.

You don't know much about La Raza, yet you have castigated freepers on this thread and others, thrown around the "racist" word, just because they were genuinely offended by McCain's gestures made to the group. Well ain't that sumthin' special! (not)

My attack was intended at people like Michelle Malkin and Sean Hannity, who make money by abusing the emotions of people like Freepers. They know how to rile that group. They know how to turn that frustation in dollars.

Contrary to common liberal thought, all conservatives I know can think for themselves, make their own judgments, and do not wait around waiting for Sean Hannity or Michelle Malkin to tell them how to react.

They are the ones who promulgate this insane idea that meetint with bad characters or your enemies somehow makes you one of them or “validates” them.

When a politician meets with a group, while on the campaign trail--yes... it does validate them. When they stand in front of that group, it tells the group they are important--else the politician would not waste their time. Can you understand that basic concept?

That is complete nonsense and most intelligent people would laugh at that notion.

Some may be laughing now, but not in the way you suggest.

calcowgirl your very well stated post is worth repeating.

Courtesy Comment:

A very few FReeper posters for some reason are more politically correct and cowardly acting when it comes to calling a spade a spade, such as pointing out La Raza is a racists organization.

I guess they are afraid of being branded a racists by the politically correct in-crowd.

I wonder how many ordinary hard working white folks La Raza have signed up on their roster.

I have been flamed severely for stating my opinion that perverted black slang as used by Al Sharpton, Reverend Wright and others is not good for our children to hear and use in everyday conversations.

Thanks
