It’s tough to be a Latino Republican – you can’t endorse hating yourself, but you can’t really reject it either.
And Republicans are not helping themselves by running fruitcakes in place of serious candidates.
A Republican state house candidate from northern Florida is standing by her proposal to build internment camps for undocumented immigrants that would “collect enough illegal aliens until you have enough to ship them back.”
Marg Baker, who’s one of three GOP candidates running for the nomination for Florida’s 48th district, made the announcement earlier this month at a meeting of the 9-12 Project, Glenn Beck’s political activist group.
“We can follow what happened back in the ’40s or ’50s [when] I was just a little girl in Miami and they built camps for the people that snuck into the country,” Baker said.
“Because they were illegal, they put them in the camps and they shipped them back,” Baker said, to applause.
Her pronouncement “stunned” the district’s Republican incumbent, Peter Nehr.
It gets more bizarre by the day. The election of Barack Obama now has every xenophobic nitwit who ever dreamed of being a politician crawling out from beneath their rocks and running as Republicans. There was a time when radical ideas like Baker’s were only mentioned to friends and family. Now they’re shouted from podiums and people applaud. Frightening.

It’s pretty tough to have a dialog with someone who sets up strawmen.
Definition of a Strawman Argument: To “attack a straw man” is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar yet weaker proposition (the “straw man”), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.
build internment camps…. yet another example of the Right wanting to move this country backward, refusing to learn from history and inflaming racial divides…
C’mon Tommy, I was quite clear. You started your comment with a false assumption and then proceeded to criticize me on that assumption as if it was true. Typical strawman tactic and I have no way to respond except to point it out to you.
“…this thought from blogger Armando Llorens is undoubtedly true.
It’s tough to be a Latino Republican – you can’t endorse hating yourself, but you can’t really reject it either.”
It sounds to me like he’s saying that if you’re a republican, you must hate Latinos. Am I missing something? I’m a little hungover this morning, so when you explain it, please write slowly.
how can you possibly think that this one individual speaking about himself and his situation translates to a truth for the whole Latino population? s l o w e n o u g h f o r

So, is your premise that ALL republicans hate ALL Latinos? Pretty tough to have a dialog with someone when you start from that position.

No, not ALL Republicans hate ALL Latinos.
