Congressmen get in fight, spew racial epithets

RAW STORY
Published: Friday March 17, 2006 | </p">

Congressional debate about immigration has gotten ugly, according to Thursday's edition of Roll Call.

Excerpts from the Roll Call story follow:

###

We knew immigration was a contentious issue and all, but wait until you hear the epithets that Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) hurled at Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.), Congress’ chief immigration critic, after a live debate they had on CNBC Wednesday. Sneak preview: They include “bigot,” “racist” and “KKK.”

After the lunchtime show in the Cannon Rotunda ended, Gutierrez made a joke about how the “immigrant” (him, though he was born in Chicago) showed up on time while the “Gringo” (Tancredo) was late. Gutierrez told Tancredo that he had a “really ugly policy.”

The way Gutierrez’s office tells the story, Tancredo and the two aides who accompanied him followed Gutierrez to his office. Tancredo kept “following him, touching him, following him, touching him,” Gutierrez spokesman Scott Frotman said.

At that point, Gutierrez pretty much snapped. “Have you ever eaten in a restaurant?” he asked Tancredo, adding with feigned disgust, “How could you eat from the plates touched by those nasty illegal immigrants?”

Here's an exchange between Tancredo and Gutierrez on Scarborough from three years ago.

I will never consider invaders like Gutierrez to be Americans or my fellow citizens. Never.

Because he can get away with it?

After just reading the headline, I naturally assumed they were both Irish.

LOL!


You see, for every three or four rednecks who think that all African-Americans are Willie Horton; there are one or two white liberals who think that all African-Americans are Langston Hughes. Both sides are, of course, wrong. All African-Americans are, in fact, Jimmy "J.J." Walker.

One obvious retort to Gutierez (aside from rapping him in the mouth) is to ask him how many Americans would Mexico tolerate if we all decided to just cross their border whenever we felt like it or whatever reason. What does he think the Mexican govt would do?
