Congressman: Tea Partiers said to 'Go Back to Mexico'

[Swede]

Some fairly interesting comments to this story.



Texas Observer columnist Melissa Del Bosque wrote in a column a "group of Tea Party activists in Washington D.C. recently told two Hispanic Texas border congressmen to 'Go back to Mexico' as they were on their way to vote on the House floor."

1. But they're not bigots, so stop saying that

They just love America, while hating 85% of the people in it.

2. That sounds like the typical texas tea party hypocrite

they are ecstatic the "wetbacks" are here...it allows them to pay less for all workers,offer less benefits.
Soon enough,Texas will be as big a shithole as the countries these people left for a better life.
Give the Tea party time.

3. So the NAACP was probably right that the TP tolerates bigotry like this.

If the higher-ups in the TPM don't condemn what these morons said to the Congressmen then the Tea Party can't be attacking the NAACP. Wonder what kind of values that the hecklers would be teaching their kids!
