NOTE: Every so often, people make public remarks that are so out of bounds that one wishes they would just be quiet. Therefore, we welcome what may be a weekly feature named after this 2007 squabble between Spain’s king and Venezuela’s president.
Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the Supreme Court has been the subject for debate this week among her supporters and detractors. Unfortunately, some of her opponents continue going off the deep end by making increasingly more silly statements.
So far we’ve covered unusual remarks made on her selection as being similar to affirmative action and insinuating that her food preferences cloud her judgment. But that’s small potatoes compared to what emerged from the mouth of Rep. Tom Tancredo yesterday:
Yes ladies and gentlemen, he called the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) "a Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses." (Sotomayor is a member of NCLR). Even if you disagree with the NCLR’s position on issues like affirmative action and immigration, there is no doubt that Tancredo’s mudslinging and inflammatory remarks were unnecessary.
Why don’t you shut up Tom?
Update: Here's the response from NCLR Janet Murguia; note the calm and rational tone of her comments and Rick Sanchez' sympathetic ear.
(Hat tip: this post from Guanabee. Kudos to that blog for its numerous posts blasting the outrageous critiques of Sotomayor).

I am gathering dozens of Videos and articles of the press about Judge Sonia Sotomayor.
Some people like Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and Cenk Uygur are laughing and laughing at the Hyprocrisy or Republicans, because the Reps have said the same stuff that Sonia says in her "Horror" Videos.
Judges of the Supreme Court and Republican Senators have said exactly the same stuff as Sonia in other contexts.
Even George H. Bush the father of our beloved Bush has said exactly the same words that the Trilogy of Evil NPR : Newt, Pat and Rush condemn.
If Tom Tancredo hates the Non Anglo Saxons and non Nordic Whites then he should start by commiting suicide and improving the American Race, he is more Mediterranean like Brutus and Casius than a Real Viking like Leif Erikson.
That is why Cenk Uygur says that the Republicans are already defeated and that they are beginning to raise the White Flag of Surrender.
And even the Wall Street Journal loves Sonia Sotomayor because she likes Business and Capitalism, and Money has no skin color.
Look at tons of Information on Sonia here :
