That is both insulting and ridiculous.
Medved is a thinker, and you certainly don’t have to agree with him on all points, but he is right here.
A head-in-the-sand approach won’t win elections. Knowing the electorate and its demographics may not, either, but it will go a long way.
Our biggest challenge is to overcome stereotypical thinking — both our own and that of ethnic voters who have backed Democrats out of tradition rather than ideology.
Most hispanic families are both socially and politically conservative on most issues, but they’ve been taught to vote for Democrats. That’s true, too, of many blacks. Asians are hard-working and business-oriented, perfect Republican voters.
Now is a golden opportunity, given the thugs in the current administration, to educate voters of all stripes about what is good for our country.
But you can’t educate anyone with your fingers in your ears and your mouth uttering insults.
Give it some thought.

I respectfully suggest that the people with their heads in the sand are those conservatives thinking there is something to be had for the GOP from black and Latino voters.
Obama's actions are not going to drive away blacks and latinos. Most of them like his policies, what more socialism, want more welfare and approve of things like Amnesty for their co-ethnics. Most blacks don't pay any federal income tax. The issues that are at the core of the conservative movement are, arguably, issues that work against their position in society.
We've been down this useless path for a generation now. Mel Martinez won't let us secure the borders for a decade, now (the Dem/Rep rachet action) Obama can legalize everyone who slipped in on Bush's watch and the White majority will be further disenfranchised.
The only group in America that still tries to organize around principles and not race are Whites. Continuing this stupid asymetrical warfare is going to result in the total crushing of the GOP AND the total displacement of Whites into a hated minority in the USA.
When we slip BELOW majority status, an event that causes the MSM and various minority groups such excitement that they almost pee themselves in anticipation, can we expect that the Affirmative Action programs against us will be repealed? That our kids will get a shot at attending university without giving away a few hundred SAT points to blacks and mestizos?
NO! I don't think so. It's not about fairness or fair play with these groups. It's about "who whom".
The GOP would be far better off figuring out what positions we hold that are alienating the 55% of Whites who are voting for the enemy and make concessions.
Hell will be hosting hockey finals before any significant number of blacks vote GOP. The Medved/Rove/Martinez/Steele strategy is a PROVEN FAILURE. Can we please move on now?
