SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) -- Democratic Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez says she didn't intend to offend anyone when she told a reporter that "the Vietnamese" and Republicans were trying to take her seat representing California's Orange County.

Sanchez said Friday she "used a poor choice of words that some people have taken as offensive" in a Spanish-language interview with Jorge Ramos on Univision's Sunday morning show, "Al Punto."

The lack of intent to offend means she doesn't even have that excuse for saying what she said... And therefore, she condemns either her intellect or her model of right and wrong—which is the only other reason she wouldn't know what would offend!

LOL Thats good.

[antceecee]

Right on.... you got it baby! (I speak as a non-Vietnamese conservative business woman living in No. O.C.).

“used a poor choice of words that some people have taken as offensive”

Lol. Gee, I don’t know why.......

This is what we call “racism” and when white people do it, it’s a crime.

Thank god you’re Hispanic. :)

[Lonely Bull]

What she really meant was her seat was reserved for Hispanic-Americans. Punto.

It's not her seat, it's the people's seat--though they'd do well to clean and disinfect that seat once she vacates it (early this January is a good time). Contrapunto.

Pure Racism. Impeach her and have the FEDS and White House investigate!

[Emmett McCarthy]

Yeah - and this moron Sanchez can’t go back to the 7-11!

I’m sure that she didn’t intend to offend anyone. She intended to spread her hatred of Asian-Americans in Spanish assuming that no Asians know the Spanish language. What a loathsome creep.

[ZULU]

Contrapunto INDEED :)

I see yur point. I was going for the ‘full of bs’ to start with but..

[Kickass Conservative]

She was using the Obama tactic and speaking to “her” people. Anyone who does not see that will give her a pass, but they would have to be blind to do so.

Another lying Rat, big whoop. Let's see how stupid the Electorate is in her District, at least the “legal” ones.

Like H*ll she didn’t mean to offend anyone...

[getarope]

She’s only sorry she got caught!

[RichInOC]

Tran-Republican for Congress. Come to the dark side. We have banh mi.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Loretta Sanchez is a HISPANO-RACIST

she didn't intend to offend anyone

Another wise Latina drenched in Hispanic supremacism. Adios, chica fea.

[Carley]

She thought she could get away with her ethnic slur.

[Armaggedon]

I understand Spanish. Sanchez was stoking race hatred to her audience. Tran is an American who loves his country. Sanchez is trying to lie, divide and conquer. She should be kicked out of Congress November 2. She is a liar and cheat. She used the race card and voting irregularities to defeat Dornan a real patriot. She tried the same tricks on Tran. Sanchez needs the boot out the door.

Hasta la vista vista baby, don't let the door hit the crack on your back the good Lord gave ya.

Hey Loretta - keep it up!
Offend enough people and you’ll push yourself right out of office!
