The cracker wing

There is simply no denying that a good portion of the modern Republican Party is comprised of bigots, not necessarily balls to the wall racist Dixiecrats of Jim Crow South, but bigots nonetheless. Former Rep. and GOP Presidential candidate Tom “Build a Wall” Tancredo decided to fly that flag yesterday by accusing SCOTUS nominee Sotomayer of racism and calling La Raza the “Latino KKK without the hoods or nooses” on CNN with anchor Rick Sanchez.



Jeez Tom, project much? And how completely oblivious does one have to be to slag Latinos in front of a guy whose last name is Sanchez? Hats off to the anchor for being professional (if somewhat taken aback) during the exchange…
