Just like Black republican candidates Carson and Cain, he committed the ultimate transgression as far as the DNC is concerned: Republican while non-Anglo. The nerve!

That's right. Marco Rubio is a conservative Hispanic Republican. This violates the left's absurd narrative that all Hispanics (not just first and second generation Hispanics) are somehow inherently obligated to be Democrats. It is because Marco Rubio is a Hispanic and has demonstrated the temerity to leave the leftist racial reservation that they are starting their campaign to try to ruin him.

Unfortunately for the Democrats, this is about a weak of a start on a smear campaign as we have probably ever seen. It will probably be time for the flat out lies to start soon. They are good at that, so it is probably hard to fully imagine the vile tactics they will use on this guy. Probably a good primer would be the despicable and quite frankly the over-the-top misogynistic approach they took with Sarah Palin.

But of course here it is not misogyny that is at issue, it is racism.

Geez, I can't wait to read a hard-hitting exposé on Scott Walker's overdue library books.

Surely this is a scandal that the left can use to ruin Marco Rubio, a politician that they fear to their very core. A Hispanic conservative Republican who is well spoken, attractive, super smart, balanced and under control.

OH MY GOD!!! CRUSH, KILL, DESTROY!!!

Have no fear, the New York Times in on the case. And MSNBC is sure to try and do everything they can to make this into a major story, especially Rachel Maddow.

No word about the findings of the smear investigations that they have going on Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley, or Lincoln Chafee. Of course Hillary Clinton has not driven during this period, as she has a paid chauffeur to drive her around all this time and more.
Oh No!!!!!

And the Clintons have ruined the nation via NAFTA and China trade policies, sold political favors for personal gain, gained millions through odd "cattle futures", let men die at Benghazi, and have been involved in serial rape.

It is a good thing that we have the media as our "watchdogs"!

Scott Walker has a lot more to worry about than overdue library books or traffic tickets. Just wait until his escapades are exposed, that guy has a lot of skeletons in the closet.

Looking forward to hearing all about it.
