Tancredo tells Pope to stand ground

[El Supremo]

By DenverPost.com

U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo wrote a letter to Pope Benedict XVI today, asking him to resist calls to apologize for his recent remarks about Islam that offended many Muslims around the world.

"It is not surprising that your statements prompted such a visceral reaction in much of the Islamic world, where the free exercise of religion is largely proscribed," said Tancredo, R-Littleton, in his letter....

I don't care what religion he is. I just wish he wasn't my Representative.

Tancredo sings Dixie with bigots

The expression is "You ain't just whistling Dixie."

Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo wasn't whistling. He was singing Dixie. He was also standing in a Columbia, S.C., museum room with Confederate flags and a picture of Robert E. Lee.

The guy who booked the room once protested the placement of a statue honoring black tennis star Arthur Ashe.

Tancredo spoke to a crowd that included the League of the South, a secessionist organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center calls a bigoted hate group. The league now embraces Tancredo's stands on illegal immigration.
