Oh, of course.  So glad he cleared that up.

‘Eyyyy dassa spicay meataballe!

He’s just another Republican making insensitive remarks concerning minorities!! When will they learn??

problem is the mayor DID NOT originally say he was going into the latino community to have tacos for dinner….he said HE WAS GOING HOME TO EAT EM…..perhaps he should say sorry and have no further comment

CNN contributor and MSNBC host will beparticipating in a retreat for the house democrats…..I figured you would have written about it here.  Maybe the mayor should ask the CNN guy a question about it, eh?

The media can’t find racism in the GOP Presidential candidates so they go across the country, the world if necessary, to find an alleged racist who isn’t a liberal.   Stupid comment, stupid report.  I wonder how much that travel cost CNN.

I don’t think we’ve heard the last from this mayor.  Stay tuned.

Uh oh here is the Glen Beck fan again….Bringing up a comment that has NOTHING to do with the above story.

Like Harry Reid and his “negro dialect” comment?

Liberals wear racist colored glasses, everything looks like racism to them!!

Tina -
Hate to repeat myself, but whatthehell are you talking about??

Or Biden when he went after people from India?

Liberal Bias Dot Net has proven that most of the media does not have a liberal bias

His explanation is hilarious!

The cops in the story were racist! The mayor was ignorant especially since racism was the subject in the first place.

It’s not even that so much… It’s the oh my please get a friggin life and worry about IMPORTANT THINGS feeling you get from this…. How did we survive? Seriously, how did we survive during the days of Blazing Saddles? Without this 24-7 monitoring where LORD forbid you slip, just slip once, where would we be without the knights of the US media and PC police to enforce “quality control.”

Just think if the focus that went into government waste, poverty, underage prostitution, drug abuse, that goes into absolute bull shit, what good we could accomplish. Instead, we focus on dog turd stories like this! You have to ask yourself, what will it really take for this to end?

Clumsy and obvious political pandering is now evil when republicans do it.

“And BTW, did you investigate the story in any way with regards to how the community feels about the the local issue beside what some yahoos on the internet said and statements of the typical opposition groups?

“uhhh… some woman I bumped into on my way from the airport to badger the mayor to didn’t seem have a problem with it.”

Thanks for keepin’ ‘em honest, nameless CNN reporter from whom I expect no better!

What has Glenn Beck to do with your criticism of Tina’s post again?

…immediately bringing to mind such obvious questions (to a reasonable, thinking person) as “Now who would name their website ‘Liberal Bias Dot Net’?” in order to put forward such a claim?

She claimed to be a big Glenn Beck supporter when she attacked me in the past. She made sure to express that quite forcefully. I hold no grudge to Glen Beck or his fans, it was more of a joke. Nice lookout though.

OMG he said Tacos? Holy shit stop the presses!! You should resign in shame for saying Tacos!! What the hell is insensitive about having tacos?

Is an apology even enough…WTF!!!!!  Should we just hang him??

By the way what up with gay black dudes on CNN?

God you’re an idiot. Read the whole context, dim wit.

Will help the blacks by eating fried chicken and watermelon, too.

Newt Gingrich is still a candidate. What are you talking about?

First it would take not equating totally different things.

Harumph harumphg! Harumoph glen beck? Harumph!

People need to get a sense of humor in this country. Im Irish and laugh when people make jokes about our drinking or red hair. Politically correctness is making this country more polarized then ever before.

Probably never since they try so hard to avoid them.

If CNN starts challenging politicians, they’ll lose their access.

Because it’s so transparent. And you don’t have to be liberal to see it either.

I don’t know, WHAT UP WITH IT? How does it make you feel to see.gay black dudes on CNN?

Seems like you’re obsessing and thinking about it a little too much. Maybe you should start worrying about yourself…

LOL

I am sure the Irish community would not get offended if he said,

The Irish will forget what I said tonight when they get drunk and fight.

HAHAHAHA

I got nothing against those Taco eaters.
At least they are not black.
OR GAY

Huh?

Those ethnic food jokes…they wound the soul.  B@stard!

Inside joke then.  Damn.  I thought it was a hanging curve.

Sorry brother I am not trying to be that much of a jerk. 

Oh Yeahhh, That’s what he meant. Check his closet for the pointy white hat.

“Dog turd” stories like this started the civil right movement. When will this end? When the racist gene is expunged from the white so-called Christian mentality.

If that were so, you and your ancestors would not have left Europe in droves. Get a clue.

But he didnt get specific.  What kind of Taco’s?  There are many.

Conservative Victim Syndrome or CVS is currently being studied by the CDC in Atlanta, perhaps you can go get some help for your affliction.

White so called Christian mentality? Really? I wonder if the racist gene only exists in white Christians? Do you think the racist gene only exits in white Christians? Silly question I know but I’m looking for clarification.

Well if that’s how it came off then I certainly erred. My point is, shouldn’t our time, energy, and BILLIONS of tax dollars that go into waste and bull shit actually go into eradicating the root cause of real problems in the country?

The mayor thinks this is funny?

Yeah, how dare the Latino citizens of this community not see the humor in the mayor joking about doing nothing for them when this is what’s going on in their community. 

You don’t have to be black and in the south to be victimized by a good ol’ boy system.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/26/nyregion/on-latino-abuse-mayor-says-i-might-have-tacos.html

Take the time to read both articles and tell me this has anything to do with being PC.

Actually this goes a lot deeper than just insensitive remarks as I’m sure you’ll agree after reading these two articles.

With problems this serious in his community the mayor should have been dead serious and very sensetive when dealing with this topic.  Maybe I missed this story when it broke but Crugnal did a horrible job of providing background info on this story.

The mayor and police chief need to be gone asap.

Clarification? You have a party” 95%White ” that crows about their Christian values, and yet turns a blind eye to many,many  serious moral “mistakes” from their leaders. You have Gringrich who is leading for the nomination for POTUS who is at his essence a scoundrel or worst. You go to church thinking that absolves you of your sins. Jesus would not come back to this Earth and see conservatives as his brothers keeper.The racist gene exists in many cultures, but in America it is predominant in the White European race. There is some history to back that up. More clarification?

Very informative, too bad James Crugnale didn’t bother to do any research.  No question both the chief and the mayor have gotta go.

It’s very sad when Italian Americans know so little about the history of their own people in this country and would behave this way toward other immigrant groups. Do they know what

W.ith
O.ut
P.apers means?

Let’s cut subsides to ADM for every $1 from HFCS we paid them $10. For ever $1 they make from ethanol we the taxpayer gave them $30 They made $4 billion last year. That I find very offensive.

Let’s cut subsides to ExxonMobil the nations largest oil company. As well as many other billion dollar oil company’s.

They seem to know that immigrants have an excellent chance of success.

I like tacos!

Government should be singling any ethnic group out for a particular treatment, good or bad. Any action should be against the officers who behaved badly. And benefit should be toward people who were abused. End of story.

Mmmmm…fish tacos.

And this is related to this story how?  This is inappropriate for this story.

Given how dumb the media is, the mayor accidentally made a brilliant move.   Much better to talk about a dumb, insensitive comment than questions about what he knew about the officers being criminally charged.   What did he know?  Did he call the feds, or was he completely incompetent.

CNN doesn’t care.  Instead, how will you handle the taco comment?    

No need to study anything but ratings and subscription rates.  People simply will watch the most entertaining and fair source, in their opinion.  

Yeah, after I read up on it I was pissed this story didn’t get more coverage. 

Action should be taken against the officers and their superiors who condoned their actions and looked the other way. 

The police chief should be fired for lack of leadership,failing to control his men, tacit approval of their actions, and obstructing the investigation of the commission given oversight of the department. 

 The mayor should be recalled or voted out for bringing back the chief and blindly supporting his buddy over what’s best for the town.
