GOP response to racist remarks

[DiscussTed]

The crude, racists remarks made by Ferdinand C de Baca, the GOP's Bernalillo County Chair, are prompting outrage here and on the national scene. As I posted yesterday, the comments by C de Baca were included in an article by a BBC reporter who spoke with him on Thursday, at the New Mexico State Fair in Albuquerque:

"The truth is that Hispanics came here as conquerors," he said. "African-Americans came here as slaves. Hispanics consider themselves above blacks. They won't vote for a black president."

GOP Response:

A local McCain campaign spokesperson and a statement from Darren White's campaign today denounced C de Baca's statements, but Fernando himself has been incommunicado on the matter, as have Steve Pearce, Pete Domenici, Ed Tinsley, the Republican Party of New Mexico and other GOP candidates and members, at least as far as I know.

1. One of those "Spanish Blood" assholes.

Ask him what he thinks of Hispanics with native blood.

[POAS]

2. You remind me of

what I say about Lou Dobbs who poo-poos being called a racist because he is married to a Mexican-American.

That is like saying an American can't be prejudiced against Blacks because they are both Americans.

Ridiculous on its face!
