QuoteFormer Congressman and 2008 Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo told an audience on Thursday at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville that "people who could not even spell the word 'vote', or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House."

Of course it is. Putting his obvious immigrant Mediterranean name aside...
what's a "committed" socialist?
I have a very strong feeling that this won't be the worst quote to come out of the Tea Party Convention.
I'm more looking at CPAC, Palin apparently thinks that the crowd running it now is crazy extremists, and if these people are so far over the edge that Sarah 'Death Panels' Palin doesn't want to associate with them the lulz should be truly incredible.

Fixed.
John Stewart referred to fox news as one arm of the "shadow government" on bill o'reilley the other day.
I shit my pance, I really did.
Ugh, I missed that. Does Fux have their shit online?

I noticed that too. Wonder how serious he meant that. He was pretty sober and serious most of the interview.

I have a dream.
My dream is that IF Barack Obama even seeks re-election as president in 2012, he won't be able to go to any city, any town, any hamlet in America without seeing signs that ask, "Where's the birth certificate?"

It's worse than that rong, he is actually married to Karl Marx, and wants to adopt straight children and teach them to be homosexual socialists!
It's a plot to ruin the American way of life
TM!
Wouldn't a committed socialist be someone in a pogrom?
Tancredo dug himself a little deeper afterward:

QuoteIn an interview, Mr Tancredo defended his remarks, insisting they had "nothing to do with colour or ethnicity or any of that crap" but "has everything to do with people coming to America and wanting to be American". That, he explained, means stopping talking your native language and doing everything to blend in. "Under the cult of multiculturalism, we don't make them do that and that will have great implications," he said. Looking at a British reporter, he galloped on: "When the Archbishop of Canterbury says there is nothing wrong with Sharia law being practised as well as British law, you say wha-a-at?"
And he had Rick Scarborough helping him:
QuoteAmong the first keynote speakers yesterday, meanwhile, was Rick Scarborough, the pastor and firebrand founder of Vision America, which had its own stall here yesterday laden with books he has written, among them Liberalism Kills Kids. He also wanted to discuss the Tancredo speech which he apparently liked very much. "I didn't hear racism," he told this reporter, before spelling out his worries. "America is a country of legal immigrants but the Left has turned it into a country of invaders," he offered bluntly. "Look at Europe and the rampant invasion of England. They are practising Sharia law and I think this crew is going to fight that." Mr Scarborough also outlines how the US is a "special country" – more than any other in the world – and that is how God intended it. He adds: "If we are to become 30 per cent Hispanic we will no longer be America." (And therefore no longer special.) "That would be a bad thing."
We're also practicing Christian and Jewish laws, if we accept Shariah law is being used over here, since that particular stipulation applies to all major religions.
ZOMG JOOISH INVASION.
In fact, fuck all those guys. Fucking Johnny-come-lately monotheists, undermining the sanctity of our Danelaw. :argh!:
:lulz: Wow. The LAIL is so thick, I can barely make out the words. ETA: I'm also giggling over the "liberalism kills kids" title...

This makes me go WTF in a huge way.
It's a Religious ReichTM philosophical staple, thinking that America is "God's Country," the World's Policeman, and exists to right the wrongs for GOD. This includes a litany of shit that's convenient to Xtians.
I hate it when people shout out (or post on internets) crap like that. :sad:
What I loved about his speech was his advocacy for civil and literacy tests. Didn't we get rid of those already? During, like, the civil rights era? Because I'm pretty sure we did.
