Calling Luis Gonzalez a traitor because he is "pro amnesty" (he's not), and because of his Hispanic last name.
There was no room for "interpretation." It was an outright racist personal attack.

That's not racist,it's the REALITY in many cases. Mostly due to the efforts of the Communist Party through their agents in the Dim Party. They have been at that since the 20's. You keep telling poor people over and over that the only reason they are poor is because "the rich white man is holding them down and stealing all the wealth",and after a few generations,it becomes accepted as truth. The Communists/Dims did this to drive a wedge between various groups of American in order to gain power for themselves and to destroy our way of life.
However it is NOT the reality in the case of Luis. I have been reading his posts for years,maybe even decades,and I don't recall him ever posting anything even remotely indicating he considers himself to be anything other than an American. Yes,his last name is a Cuban name,but that doesn't mean HE is a Cuban. His ancestors were Cuban. Big freaking deal. We all have ancestors from all over the world.
And for the few of you (not YOU musiclady) with short attention spans,there is no such race or religious faith as American. Americans come in all sorts of shapes,sizes,colors,religious beliefs,and BOUND to piss off some here,even sexual orientations.
The only Litmus test is the answer to the question "Do you consider yourself to be an American above all other traits you may have?"
BTW,note to the Mods. Anytime you just blindly delete stuff like that instead of let it stand and be judged,you are doing nothing when it comes to defeating it.
