A former presidential candidate has sparked outrage by posting a picture of bloodied bodies in Paris on Facebook.

Tom Tancredo, once a Republican congressman in Colorado who advocates tougher immigration laws, shared the unedited photo on Tuesday of corpses lying strewn across the Bataclan theater.

It features the caption: 'Celebrating diversity one massacre at a time... Coming soon to a concert hall near you!'

In an apparent attempt at a joke, the poster also features the ISIS flag, with the words 'Brought to you by ISIS Promotions'.
 

He then posted the picture again with another caption, this time directed at Colorado's Democrat governor John Hickenlooper, who he accuses of lax immigration policies that 'protect' terrorists.

The memes, which Tancredo designed himself, sparked outrage online, with thousands of people calling on Facebook to remove the images.

However, Tancredo has spoken out to defend his post.

He told the Denver Post he was happy to 'start a conversation', adding: 'I'm referring to the fact that this tragedy (in Paris), this horror, is something you cannot contain to one country if you don't do something meaningful about immigration - a subject I've been involved in for some time - these are the kinds of things that result when you don't protect your citizens.'

The GOP has refused to defend Tancredo, who is no longer affiliated with the party.

Hickenlooper told the Post it was 'beyond comment'.

Tancredo has previously lashed out at Hickenlooper for his immigration policies, and this week accused him of creating 'a sanctuary state for Muslim terrorists'.

Daily Mail Online was the first to publish the image of the Bataclan, blurring out the bodies.

As of Wednesday night, Tancredo's post had not been removed from Facebook.

Somehow I just knew it was Tancredo.  He gives racists a bad name.

I have posted that same picture in a comment on this site. I think it should be seen and not hidden.  My caption for it was: What Obama is willing to see happen here.

You could click a link on facebook and see a beheading; yet, this is somehow over-the-top?

I guess political correctness demands you stick your head in the sand -- while you still have one.

Did you read the article before you posted a reply?

Tancredo is the model of politician Donald Trump is imitating. Brash, unapologietic and steadfast in what he says. The only difference is that Tancredo doesn't have anywhere near as much cash, despite WorldNetDaily's backing.

BRINGING IN MASSES OF PEOPLE TO FINANCIALLY BURDEN AMERICA



Rep. Tom Tancredo points to the sign at the border that illegals always ignore - even though it's in Spanish. Apparently these fines only apply to illegals who the INS service calls OTMs - Other Than Mexicans.
 
Yet what happens if you are caught crossing the border in almost any other country in the world? Torture and imprisonment are almost certain. And when you don't return home, your family may be told "you were shot while escaping." In America we don't do such things. We load the illegals into air conditioned buses for a nice, comfortable ride to the nearest airport. We provide water out in the desert to help them cross. If caught, they get to try over and over until they succeed.
 
We have a border that brings illegal aliens into America like a conveyer belt stretched across the Rio Grande, with no one on the receiving end to stop them. This human flow hurts America in numerous ways. Emergency rooms have closed and someone with a heart attack can easily be 100 miles or more from a hospital and die. The innocent die because of closed emergency departments, thanks to being nearly bankrupted by non-paying illegals. But go to a Mexico hospital, and they will NOT take care of you unless YOU pay UP FRONT. Travel agencies warn travelers about this when planning any trips south of the USA. In Mexico, it's pay now or die later. American health insurance isn't honored in most third world nations. Nothing like a double standard - free health care for foreign nationals here, but this is not acceptable by their people in Mexico.
 
"Poor" families can somehow produce up to $20,000.00 for a trip across the hot desert. But they do not have enough money for a $500.00 emergency visit?  Who can believe that? One can only wonder HOW they afford to come up with that kind of money in the first place, given the austere lifestyle in that country. Is an organization in Mexico PAYING them to come here over and over until they get it right? Very little has ever been discussed in documentaries about the actual source of their money to pay their field guides. Perhaps the money is actually coming from overseas sources.
 
Fake pledges from a self-appointed dictator to "stop the illegals from coming in" and "enhance border security" do nothing more than buy time to allow more in. "Amnesty" is nothing more than a bad joke. Mexicans who came to America legally and did well for themselves strongly resent this illegal human exodus when polled. Is it really the job of every American to take what little money they have from their own families every day of the year, and give it away to someone who flees from their country into America? Yet this is happening through fees and taxes levied on the American people. Are Americans so well off that we can afford to be the saviors of the world's poor?
 
Why give away our hard earned money to anyone who simply does not want to stay in their country and make their life better? This isn't selfishness - it's realism. Any country in serious economic trouble like America is becomes the worst hippocrite on earth by doing this. Who can guarantee they won't bring disease, crime or corruption? They will - this IS the accepted way of life for many in third world countries, and they will bring that culture with them. The sharp increase in south-western US crime statistics speaks volumes on this subject. You, me and everyone else are paying for this now - even if you don't live in the southwest. These problems have spread across the country into the southeastern US. To make things worse, the Mexican president has arrogantly proclaimed that "the south-western united states belongs to Mexico." History shows the land was purchased legally, and Americans today should not be harassed for it. The Mexican government doesn't want to clean their own house - they just want new land to trash. And the bulldozer's blade is a quiet hidden supporter of this terrible plot.
 
DESTROY FREE SPEECH
 
Containment might also be another word to describe the new way protesters are now handled. They are treated like livestock. What do farmers do with infected cattle? They are placed in an isolation pasture until they either become well again or have to be put down. Protesters use their own hard-earned money to travel to distant cities such as Portland or Washington. When they arrive, they will be corralled into a fenced "free speech zone." [3] This secure area is located far enough away from the real action they are protesting so they will not be heard. America is now just one tiny step away from banning ALL dissenting opinion. This is exactly what the dictator has been asking for. It would not be too surprising to many of us if the dictator gets his wish in some form in 2006. It should make life easier for the censored press, too. It's all part of the bulldozer's blade which will be used to help clear the path for the rebuilding process...
