Susan Molinari looked Shocked by Tancredo's Unhinged Performance in Hardball
Her face could tell a thousand words. When David Shuster asked Tancredo to comment on Rush Limbaugh's blistering attack saying that Obama hated white people, Tancredo said: "I don't know" This was a Michelle Bachmann moment where Tancredo exposed himself as a bigot and a completely irrational jerk. Susan Molinari looked as if a ton of bricks had fallen on her as she tried to distance herself from Tancredo, Rush, and Gingrich. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are seeing the complete implosion of the GOP, it is a sight to behold as Moderate Republicans are being burned at the stake by the radical fringe of the GOP... their hatred for this magnificent, intelligent, and quite capable Latina has the GOP completely disorganized, demoralized, and exposed as America's true enemy, a symbol of intolerability and fundamentalism that has destroyed the Party of Lincoln and Eisenhower. President Obama is a genius because in selecting the Honorable Sonia Sotomayor, he has taken the mask of the GOP as they move further into the wilderness of American politics.

1. Well, it looks like some people like Molinari were beginning to wake up to the barbarian at the
gate.

She saw the tide of barbarians coming and tried, too late, to stop them. At long last, she did have the humanity to come to Sonomayor's defense. I hope she takes a long look into her mirror tonght when she gets home. Does she really want to tell everybody she is a Republican?

2. I know, she realizes that she has been stained by the demented faction of the GOP
even Cornyn is distancing himself from the GOP Mullahs

19. Tancredo used to be a high school teacher here in Colorado.
Then, he wandered over to the right wing Independence Institute out of Golden, became the 6th District Congressman, vowing to term-limit himself (which, of course, didn't happen) -- and then he became the voice of anti-immigration, coining the term "Sanctuary City" for cities like Denver that have large Hispanic populations. It was discovered during all his earlier "face time," that he had employed illegal immigrants to build a $60,000 home theatre addition to his house. And the crazier his rhetoric becomes, the bigger his toupee.

He was my Congressman. I can never live it down.

5. She was trying to take the same approach as Nancy Pfotenhauer
Edited on Fri May-29-09 08:06 PM by rufus dog
Nancy was on MSNBC earlier and the talking points were almost exactly the same.... her record needs to be reviewed, she seems like a capable person. Nancy went as far as stating that ultimately it is the Presidents decision/elections have consequences. I think it was a coordinated effort to get females out for the Repubs. Too bad for them Rush, Liddy, Beck, Tancredo, and Newt can't shut up.

6. "Tancredo" sounds a tad Hispanic to me
Is this just a case of ethnic self-loathing? He should be called out on this. It might shut him up.

20. We have Italian Americans here in New Haven who assert that being an immigrant from Italy
is "different" than being an immigrant from Mexico, Latin America and South America. "They" do not have the heritage of the Renaissance that Europeans have. "They" can't contribute as much to this country as Italians have.

These folks are pretty hard to stomach...

8. What's interesting is
the creatures who are making all the noise have for the most part nothing to lose. They're vile motor mouths like Coulter and Limbaugh, has beens like Tancredo and Gingrich or low lives like Rove and Liddy. They'll face no voters in an election.

If I were a Republican senator, I'd be either suicidal or murderous. The senate Republicans have been sandbagged by these creatures. In order not to appear to be in league with these monsters, they'll have to walk very softly. With friends like these, who needs an opposition.

President Obama is a master of political judo. Totally safe bet that he knew this would happen. He selected Sotomayor because she's an excellent choice. That it brought out the worst in the freak wing of the Republican party is icing on the cake and a political windfall.

:popcorn:

Well, a pretty good politician anyway. We are so used to checkers, it might take a while to get used to chess.

18. I don't think she was that much different than Tancredo. She is as bad as the rest of that
crowd. Limbaugh will straighten her out.

22. i thought it was hilarious when he was asked if he regretting anything he had just said
and he thought it witty to turn it on the others as if they were the ones who were unhinged.

"Can't a white guy get a free pass for being a racist any more. You people should be bowing before me." He seemed upset precisely because that was no longer true. "you are a racist for not letting me be one. ":cry:
