Hypocritical Liberal excuses and minimization in 3, 2, 1…

Let me be the first to cal the #3 special with refried beans a RINO.

That looks so good!  Make mine chicken, steamed tortillas, rice instead beans, extra cheese sauce.

Hold the dog whistle b.s. that is utterly cynical and toxic no matter who “hears” it.

 Figures that someone who scarfs on scones eats deep-fried chimichangas.

A racially insensitive liberal? Color me not surprised…

LMAO!!! thanks for the laughs.

LMAO! Where were these republicans when Newt Gingrich called spanish the language of the ghetto?

I said steamed… but boy do I wish…

You should realize that the more you indicate to me that you’re having us all on (your personal G-spot)… the less serious and the more eccentric old fart you become.

“It’s not racist when WE do it!”

Sorry, he was saying that the R’s have nothing to offer Latinos…and he said all they could offer was a specific Mexican food…how is that supposed to be offensive to Latinos? He said the name of a food? Hey…Swed­ish Meatballs.­..uh oh…here come the angry Swedes…

I just know that Tommy Christopher is hard at work right now about the racist dog-whistling inherent in Messina’s remarks.

“I just like saying ‘chimichanga.’ ”

Candy

If you make a joke about Irish Stew, I will be very angry.

This past four years have been a blessing to actual racists. They can now breathe a sigh of relief, after four years of nonstop racism accusations from the left, no one takes the accusations at face value anymore.

And don’t forget, Newt is racist for calling a man named Juan, “Juan.”

Nothing to see here. 

I’m Latino and I don’t see any reason for Latinos to be offended. 

Conservatives Latinos are grasping at straws. 

Sounds like this asshat’s a “taco short of a combo plate”.

I now know what I’ll be having for dinner tonight.. That chimichanga looks delicious..

 I agree. How is quoting a line by a political writer that says that all GOP can offer Latinos is an American Mexican restaurant staple racist I would question this particular Democratic politicians sense of humor. If that is really the line of the day, then this is an unmemorable day.

But if you pass laws that anyone who looks like they aren’t a citizen needs to be stopped and grilled until he proves he is, if you call Spanish the language of poverty and non success and the Ghetto, if you appeal to Americans fear of Spanish speaking people, you have no business trying to take umbrage on behalf of your favorite minority.

Let the GOP at their debates bring up Latinos and their support for work cards, for honoring the contribution of immigrants, for asking Americans to assume that every Spanish looking person is American and allow him or her to pass freely, if they are so concerned about this issue.

Let’s see what a Republican debate crowd would do with a GOP candidate reaching out for Latinos in one of his answer.

Ha!
Yes…it was a complete eruption of a dozen tweets from conservatives!!
One from sarainitaly,of course!

chimichanga!

Now that certainly is not Michelle approved fare.

Oft troll-repeated false assertion, but to answer your question:

Perhaps they heard and understood what he was saying ?

Now here are Gingrich’s original comments:

We should replace bilingual education with immersion in
English so people learn the common language of the country and so they
learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto.

Gingrich clearly meant no offense to Hispanics, and in fact did not
even refer to Spanish. One can argue he implied Spanish, the most
commonly spoken foreign language in the U.S., but the point would be the
same for other languages. Lack of English proficiency affects
immigrants ability to earn more than a minimal income, which should
surprise no one.

When this controversy first arose, Gingrich apologized, and to make
the point he has nothing against Hispanics or the Spanish language, he
apologized in Spanish, which unlike many politicians, Gingrich made the
effort to learn. Many politicians have a hard time apologizing for much
of anything, but Gingrich has repeatedly shown a willingness to accept
responsibility for mistakes, even when he clearly meant no offense.

Translation:

Last weekend I made some comments that I recognize
produced a bad feeling within the Latino community. The words I chose to
express myself were not the best, and what I wanted to say is this. In
the United States it is important to speak English well in order to
progress and have success. To achieve this goal, we should replace
bilingual education programs with intensive English instruction courses
and in this way permit that English be the language that all of us have
in common.
This is an expression of support for Latinos, not an attack on their
language. I have never believed that Spanish is a language of people of
low income nor a language without beauty.

Hey Messina….

Why stop there?
How about a tweet with a watermelon and a Colt 45 punchline?

GLAAD hasn’t demanded that anybody resign yet, chimichanga is certainly not in it’s list of approved terminology.

 racism accusations like “Show us your long form birth certificate?” 

or stuff like this?

Heh. Refuting the point by proving it!

lord, and if the situation was reversed and a repub said “watermelon and fried chicken” – the media world would be demanding his resignation, stoning and banishment….hypocrites…

“Chimichanga”?  Isn’t that a famous Civil War Battle?

This Mexican girl in now in the mood for a chimichanga.  

When will ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, The NY Times, AP, etc. be reporting this?

Do they still report the news in this country, or just the news favorable to Democrats?

Republicant Latinos… enough said.

Democrats to Hispanic voters:

“We apologize for the chimichanga faux pas.
 Oh, and the other thing, you’re not allowed to be Catholic anymore!”

Rience, wake up!
Where’s the TV spot?
 

I wouldnt and if I had a restaurant that’s what I would serve…..along with some greens candied sweet potatoes, and macaroni and cheese.

Sounds good to me and I’m not Mexican…..

Apology, don’t hold your raunchy chimichanga breath.

I’m sure you probably said the same thing when a Politician was deemed a racist for calling a man named Juan by his own name: Juan??

Or when the same Politician was referred to as a racist for calling the US president a food stamp president, even when it is that there are more whites on food stamps than blacks?

If a Democrat says a Racist thing in the Media, it is called Snarky. If A Republican says something Snarky in the Media, its called Racist. Double Standard Malarky, If Juan is considered racist, then calling Chimmichanga’s all that someone has to offer, is over the top racism, from the same party that brought you Jim Crow laws and the Watermellon comparisons, I give you Jim Messina.
{Johnny, La genta esta muy loca}

 Much like the Briar patch comment from last year, I dont agree that this is exactly what it looks like.  The guy quoted someone else.  So the misdirected outrage is just comical.  Maybe he showed poor judgement in actually quoting it, but its not his words.  All he said was “line of the day”  well congrats, you showed once again that Americans have little to no sense of humor anymore.  Hyper partisan, hypercharged culture where everyone is a victim.  Remember this republicans when you say you dont play the victim. 

*wipes a tear away for the chimichanga

But Republicans didn’t care enough about that to stand up [for Jordan, the disrespectfully filibustered judicial nominee, who is Cuban.] Through the “debate” on the nomination, one senator after the other came to the floor — and ignored the delay. Some spoke about transportation. Others spoke about the budget. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) spoke about the wonders of his state. “The lettuce in your salad this month almost certainly came from Arizona,” McCain said. “It’s also believed that the chimichanga has its origin in Arizona.” The chimichanga? It may be the only thing Republicans have left to offer Latinos.

So let me get this straight: “chimichanga” is a Messina tweet of a Milbank item of a McCain quote? Jeez, if accusations of racism have been truly discredited bypast few years overuse, why do conservatives continue to throw out their backs trying to conjure them up?

Watch the COVERUP from NBC, ABC, CBS, and the other Media Matters outlets.

Or on Spin Central News Network, at least to their credit they at least have a Blog as an hour ago. Nothing yet on the other alphabet lap-dog medias.

Given that it’s not an actual controversy, just something Republicans wish would be a controversy, probably not. And rightly so.

Gingrich wasn’t “deemed a racist” for that. Gingrich has been judged a racist based on his long history of racism. You can argue whether his exchange with Juan Williams was another example of racism, but given Gingrich’s extremely disrespectful tone it probably was.

Except that all those accusations have been targeted at actual racists. It just so happens that the actual racists are almost exclusively conservative Republicans.

…and pausing for the racist crowd to laugh scornfully at the furriner before beginning his response.

Don’t worry, I’m sure the Southern Poverty Law Center will be all over this one with fire extinguishers blazing and declare: nothing to see here, move along, move along. Bigotry is not bigotry from the Left since they have acknowledged white guilt and white privilege. It’s just Chimichanga Town.

Gloves “Sufferage” Donahue says: I only like women who know their place. Which means I’m single.

Messina was quoting Dana Milbank.  Besides, are there “dozens” of  latino republicans?

Nothing racist about this, wingnuts. It’s a simple fact, the GOP is an anti-Hispanic party. The greatest fear of the GOP is the day when Hispanics outnumber whites in America. Given that, the very idea of Republican outreach to Hispanics is laughable.

Is it really a surprise that there are racists in both parties? 

It’s macaca, ain’t it?

No, YOU’RE a racist. Yay, I win!

That’s the way conservatives seem to see it. That the people pointing out the racism on the right are somehow the “real racists”.

 Well your chimichanga doesn’t sound like a chimichanga at all.  And cheese sauce? Are you at taco bell or making your own at the am/pm?

 Yeah, 2000 people in the audience laughed quite a bit about Newt calling Juan “Juan”…which is odd if he was just calling him by his name.

What? You read “Snarky Chimichanga Tweet” and thought this is a thread for snarky chimi posts?

I love melted white cheese on my chimis!

*Facepalm* a campaign manager said this? It would be a harmless joke if anyone else said this, but how can a person who runs a campaign say something that is definitely going to backfire?

You can’t be Catholic anymore? How so? The contraceptive issue has been settled. Religious organizations no longer have to chip in money for contraceptive coverage anymore. They have been given the same exemption the churches get. Now that the church doesn’t have to pay what is your issue?

 It’s not a controversy because the Media Matters networks are covering it up!

A commercial alluding to our unsustainable debt with China is called “racist” by the Obama/Media Matters mainstream news outlets; but besmirching the whole of the Hispanic population – by Obama’s campaign manager, no less – is deliberately ignored!

Once the GOP Super Pacs engage, things like this will not be ignored any longer!

Tell that to conservative Hispanics.  Even better, take your liberal butt to a Cuban neighborhood in Florida and try to tell them how great socialism is.

That commercial was called racist because it is undeniably racist. I mean really, you can’t see what’s racist about an ad that’s based entirely on xenophobia and anti-Chinese stereotypes?

On the other hand, nothing about this comment “besmirches” the Hispanic population, and you have to be a lunatic to believe otherwise. Of course, I already know that you are a lunatic.

Hint.  If it sounds ‘kind of’ racist or prejudiced, then don’t tweet or say it.Quoting another person’s inappropriate remark doesn’t excuse your own either.   

Republicans scapegoat Mexicans the way Hitler’s Nazis scapegoated the Jews.

No, YOU are!

Melted cheese is not “cheese sauce.”

Is “I know you are but what am I” really the best you can come up with?
