You have the right to both support the Tea Party Movement, and to not agree with the President or his policies...both of those are a given...

However, this 'he's a commie like Castro and Chavez' is old, noisy, and quite tiresome...and also this malarkey about labeling anyone who isn't on 'your side' as a leftist is just flat-out dumb...

We who support the president aren't buying anyone else's BS either, so I guess that makes us even

They call us Ganders?

Well we'll just have to find a better name to call them

I find it ironic, "FACTSPLEASE" that your name does not denote your rant. Are you people as gullible as your sound? Let's see..if anyone posts ANY thing on a site...you all actually believe it? Pathetically ignorant.

as old and noisy as it may seem it is the truth. he loves to redistribute everyone else wealth . a sign of a true commie.what more proof do you want. taking from the rich and giving it to us, the poor people is a sure sign of a true commie.wanting to dictate the kind of health care you get,a sure sign of a commie.. communism sounds good and just,in theory.but in actuality it is hell on earth

If it's perfectly acceptable for blacks to use the n-word, then it should be acceptable for this man who has a Hispanic son to use a word that those outside that circle would define as a "racial slur".

If not, why the double standard?

Too; back in the Jim Crow days, a few 'Hispanics' were members of groups like the White Citizen's Council...............Judge Leander H. Perez (Islano heritage) of St Bernard Parish, La. comes to mind. After reading about that man; he would have been a Klansman had he not been a Roman Catholic.

Perez was a vicious White supremacist............along the lines of Bull Connor.

Food for thought:

Plenty of white people lament events, areas, schools, etc. that are "too white" or too full of honkeys, crackers, etc..... are they being racist or hating themselves or their children?
No joke there. I use the phrase PW Trash to describe the Anglo versions of illegal aliens----------and, I am White.

It's really sad when people have to use racial and ethnic slurs to vent their anger.
