Yes, that's right. The president is a socialist, his supporters illiterate.
Today, Tancredo stood by his comments. "These people didn't have the slightest idea about what America is all about, about the Constitution," he said. "And they went and voted!"
FTR, I don't think Tancredo's remarks here were especially "racist." They are wrong and without class though. Who are these that "can't speak English" and are illiterate that he accuses of voting in a Presidential election? Very harsh words showing very little faith in the American people. Not exactly Jeffersonian.

They are not racist. A lot of whites voted for BO. But he has a point when Acorn goes out and enlists voters to vote for BO, many of whom needed help to register. We have a pretty illiterate nation. Our schools focus on social agendas more than the basics needed to succeed in the work place
BTW where did Tea Party come in and did anyone ask her if she knew what "innate" means?
