Just a simple Cherokee trial lawyer, Barkman has been forcing his opinions on others in print since, for reasons that passeth understanding, he was an unsuccessful candidate for state representative in 2002. His philosophy: "If people had wanted me to be nice, they should've voted for me."

Tom Tancredo: Racist Piece of Crap

In his ongoing campaign to discredit white people everywhere, Tancredo used (without permission) the photo of a 17 year old pregnant girl murdered for trying to testify against a brutal street gang to illustrate one of his scummy "fear the brown hordes!" television ads. Did Tancredo's drones know or care who Brenda Paz was? Doubtful. As far as they were concerned, she was just another face in the crowd. If you want to know who Brenda Paz was, you can read about her life and death here.

Nativist Americans

Orcinus has a typically-thoughtful piece up about Tom Tancredo, the heir to the Millard Fillmore crown of fear-mongering and thinly-veiled race baiting. Dave, however, thinks that instead of the hapless Fillmore, Tancredo is more reminiscent of Barry Goldwater, mounting an insurgent, below-the-radar campaign that resonates with a certain segment of the electorate but is missed by the elites. I have actually been surprised at how poorly Tancredo is doing, given the hide-under-the-bed fear levels the rapidly-dwindling GOP base has about the Horde of Brown People. Maybe he is positioning himself for a surprise showing in Iowa, but then again maybe it's because the other candidates don't mind exploiting this issue a little themselves and they all have way more money.

Tom Tancredo: Defender of the Oppressed

Fearful of the awesome repressive power of the 40 black, 26 Hispanic, 7 Asian and 1 Native American members of the House of Representatives, Tom Tancredo has called for abolishing the Congressional Black and Hispanic Caucuses. White people everywhere can rejoice knowing that Tancredo is on the job, making sure their privilleges and birthright are not in the least way infringed upon by powerless caucuses of vastly outnumbered uppity racial minorities.

Desperately Seeking Nicholas Vancampen Taylor

In case you were wondering how long it would take Nicholas Vancampen Taylor's flailing, collapsing campaign to pull out the race card, wonder no more. Obviously, young Vancampen can't just come right out and say "Boo! Mexicans are coming to steal the land we stole from the Indians! Boo! Be afraid!" so instead, he uses votes on pointless amendments flung by the ironically pro-secessionist race-baiter Tom Tancredo to make fraudulent attacks on Chet Edwards. Pathetic. At least Arlene Wohlgemuth went down in flames with a little of her dignity intact.

Savor the Irony

Anyone else see the humor in a guy whose made his reputation with delusional racist fantasies of Hispanic separatists holding a rally with a group whose avowed goal is the dismemberment of the United States? No? Well, maybe it's just me.
