What a jerk. I wonder if he spoke wearing his white sheet and hood..

At the national tea party convention in February, Tancredo turned heads when he suggested that Obama was elected by "people who could not even spell the word 'vote', or say it in English."
Tancredo then suggested that a civic literacy test--an idea that has been widely disregarded as racist and unconstitutional since the civil rights era--would be positive for the country.
Maybe and maybe not. It certainly doesn't come across well. If he thinks that's where Obama is from (which is another issue and several threads), then he might just be saying to send him back home (out of Washington). This wouldn't be unlike people saying that Pailin should just go back to Alaska. It may just mean to go home and leave Washington.
If it was intended along the lines of slaves having been brought over from Africa, then it would fall under the racist category.
Of course it is, and of course he got a good cheer from the lardass "patriots" at the rally. Surprised?
