Yet More Republican Racism: pitting Hispanics against Blacks

Looks like there is new verseion of republican racism: pitting Hispanics against blacks. Divide and conquer has always been the only way the Republicans could win, and too often it works. They are at it again but this time it is NOT working and, in fact, has led to the downfall of a racist republican.

From the racist GOP chairman in New Mexico's Bernalillo County:

"The truth is that Hispanics came here as conquerors," he said. "African-Americans came here as slaves.

"Hispanics consider themselves above blacks. They won't vote for a black president."

Of course this is a complete lie, as the polls have consistently shown. I have reported before that Hispanics overwhelingly support Obama over McCain. That trend continues not just nationally, but in New Mexico as well:

SurveyUSA, 9/14-16:

New Mexico Latinos:

McCain (R) 28
Obama (D) 69

Nationally, according to the Research 2000 daily tracking poll for Daily Kos:

McCain (R) 27
Obama (D) 68

Thanks to Daily Kos for this info.

Usually republicans accept racism from their own ranks, even encourage it. Racism is so acceptable in the ranks of the republican party that they attract the KKK. But this one time it seems racism was not accepted within the New Mexico republicans. The head of the Greedy Oil Party in New Mexico's Bernalillo County has resigned over hiis racist remarks. When will republicans learn that racism is NOT okay!
