Paul should disassociate himself from these groups, else other Republican candidates will be forced to criticize him for them.

Hmmm,

Did Karl Rove disassociate himself from La Raza? Did the administration and the Republicans criticize the White House top aid, or condemn him for this?

I saw a great deal of criticism here.

But that's not what you said above. You said, "Republican candidates will be forced to criticize". Did any members of Congress or leaders in the Republican party, or members of the administration criticize him?

The Race isn't considered a racist group by most people.

Hmmm,

La Raza isn't considered a racist group by most? You do under stand that organization has many radical, racist members, many of whom are not friendly to the United States?

Since you seem to feel most don't look at La Raza as a racist, what is your opinion on this organization?

Is this a racist organization or not?

I think the underlying concept is racist, I don't like Rove pandering to them any more than I like the administration pandering to CAIR, but ike it or not La Raza is not perceived as a racist group.

If you look at their positions, or CAIR's, they don't hold a candle to Willis Carto's various publications/organizations.

Nice try at moral equivalency though.

Ya know, you probably will find it strange that there was a very successful conservative movement with lots of really important issues before anyone even noticed the border with Mexico. In 2004, we got 45% of the Hispanic vote and (given the overwhelmingly Democrat lean of the Puerto Rican vote on the mainland, a probable majority of the Mexican vote. Given the advancement of bordermania since then there is little likelihood of a repeat any time soon but go ahead and obsess any way. After all, it’s a free country. Maybe paleoPaulie will save the US from Karl Rove! Not likely. Gandalf the Grey has a better shot.
