The
John McCain campaign celebrated Cinco de Mayo today by launching a
Spanish-language version of its website–and announcing that McCain will
speak at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza
(that’s “The Race”). The campaign justifies his appearance by framing
it as a gesture of inclusiveness and outreach that is “part of his
commitment to talking with all Americans.” Yes, they see it as an act
of tolerance to legitimize the militantly open-borders,
anti-immigration enforcement, ethnic nationalists who call themselves
“The Race.”
From the press release
As I noted in February, McCain is La Raza’s voice in Washington.
Will Juan Hernandez be there to cheer his man on?
Keep McCain’s decision to speak to “The Race” convention in mind the next time he sanctimoniously rushes to the liberal media condemn conservatives as racists for having the audacity to bring up Jeremiah Wright or demand strict immigration enforcement.
Back in February, Victor Davis Hanson
wrote incisively about the ethnic hatred La Raza and its satellites
foment. He also observed: “By November I don’t know why either Sen.
Clinton or Sen. Obama should not have been asked to repudiate the
support of an organization self-described as “The National Council of
The Race.”
How about McCain?
