Ruben Navarrette absurdly sees racism in Harry Reid DISCLOSE Act speech

Ruben Navarrette is pretty much the only Republican who'll dare call out the nativism among those in his own party regarding immigration and blow thru the smoke. Plus, he supports the DREAM Act.

However, how did Navarrette react to Sen. Maj. Leader Harry Reid's floor speech about the DISCLOSE Act: "If this flood of outside money continues, the day after the election, 17 angry old white men will wake up and realize they just bought the country"? Navarrette described it: "a not-so-subtle pitch to minorities by saying that wealthy businessmen are trying to buy the presidential election for Mitt Romney." Navarrette then rants about how Reid is dividing the country by mentioning white men and brings up Reid's "Negro dialect" statement and calls Reid obsessed with race.

CNN.com exemplifies the pseudo creative thinking of looking for "non-traditional" points of view, meaning looking for minority members who do not represent that minority's convictions. NAVARRETTE has made a living from turning against Mexican-Americans' constituency in the Democratic Party coalition, saying that he hates "White Liberal males" because he went to Harvard and felt stigmatized by Affirmative Action. His m.o. is to espouse other termites like Alberto GONZALEZ and Mario RUBIO, appearing to support his ethnicity, ripping any Democratic Party policy yet always preaching to the Democratic Party about what it should do and who it should nominate, always for the benefit of the White Rethug males he kisses the asses of.

A great DUer, Maestro (not seen around in a long time), used to debate and refute NAVARRETTE and other termite Linda "CHAVEZ" (why does she trade off of her Hispanic paternal name while trashing her Hispanic heritage?) back in the '90s.

It was farcical that Governor GOODHAIR made a pilgrimage to enlist NAVARRETTE into his campaign for NAVARRETTE to be his liaison to the Hispanic community. NAVARRETTE breathlessly reported that this occurred "over iced tea." How can he be a liaison to a group that he doesn't represent and that doesn't listen to him? Shows the cluelessness of both of these dweebs.
