What's Wrong With This Picture?

Without getting into the prudent, or imprudent nature of the comments made by the two now former Hispanic McCain officials cited below, there is a fascinating irony at work assuming one wants to acknowledge it.

It is, after all, a bunch of White people deciding what they should, or shouldn't say about black and Hispanic relations. Where's the equality in that?? Ha!

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The spokeswoman for the Republican Party in Nevada's most populous county was removed from her post Saturday, after she said the Democratic Party made black people "dependent on the government."

Didi Lima, the Clark County GOP communications director, also was removed from her volunteer role as a Hispanic community liaison for Republican John McCain's presidential campaign over the remarks made earlier in the day while working at a McCain campaign booth.

"We don't want (Hispanics) to become the new African-American community," Lima told The Associated Press. "And that's what the Democratic Party is going to do to them, create more programs and give them handouts, food stamps and checks for this and checks for that. We don't want that."

The chairman of the Republican Party in New Mexico's most populous county resigned Thursday, nearly a week after saying "Hispanics consider themselves above blacks" and won't vote for Obama.

Fernando C de Baca had been urged to resign for days by members of his own party.

Hispanics racist? Impossible. I've been told over and over that only white people are racist.

Indeed! I must have missed the new memo allowing Hispanics to be racists at my last GOP meeting.
