And you wonder why nearly 80% of Hispanics voted for Obama in the last Presidential election. Republicans might want to put different people in office or face even more losses in the future. Republicans are being recognized as the party of intolerance.

I see, so one Republican uses a slur word and you and the entire Hispanic community demonizes the whole party? Since when does one person's words represent an entire group? No, Hispanics won't vote for a Republican because the GOP wants our immigration laws respected and enforced and no amnesty for their illegal amigos who break them. It is as simple as their own racism.

Are you really suggesting only one Republic has emitted anti-Hispanic sentiment? There is already a well perceived notion that Republicans are not sensitive to Hispanic issues and now you have a Congressman unabashedly use a racial slur and didn't even consider that word might be deemed offensive. A lot of Hispanics are American citizens but were treated with disdain through racial profiling in states like Arizona. Sorry that is racism

Uh try again. Arizona's 1070 would have enabled racial profiling of all Hispanics including Hispanic American citizens. That has more to do that "freebies and hope for amnesty"

While this guy is stupid for using that slur, the left has to go far and wide to ever find any elected Republican saying anything even remotely sexist, racist or insensitive to specific groups of Americans, while elected Democrats makes those statements all the time, these things just roll of their tongues effortlessly.

Republicans group everybody as a whole, either US citizens or illegals. Simple It just so happens that Mexican illegals are the largest group.

Democrats, they split everything into race. Black need this, Hispanics need this, etc.

Why is it that all I hear out of many blacks is the "N" word, but that cool. I hear other races, non white, use racial slurs all the time, no biggie. Heck, whites are called rednecks and whatnot all the time. Nothing. But a white guy says something, all hell has to break loose.

Sorry, the whole racial thing is just crap. The dems keeping racial divides up, we will continue to have issues.

Yet the Dem black Alabama state rep said things that were FAR more racist, and he will be given a pass.

We all know the Democrat party is the true party of intolerance.
