I hope Pat Buchanan keeps talking, but not because I agree with him or anything.

La Raza, the "Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses"?
Republican Tom Tancredo, has been on television telling us all how bad Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court is because of membership in La Raza, which Tancredo decries is a racist Hispanic organization, referring to La Raza as the "Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses".
To be fair, Mr. Tancredo isn't the only one making extreme claims about Judge Sotomayor.But as this video of both President Bush and John McCain publicly praising La Raza illustrates, the only comparison involving the KKK that Tancredo should make is between himself and a Grand Wizard. source: Jed Lewison at DK
Via Think Progress (by way of BarbMD at DK):
SHUSTER: Mr. Tancredo, do you agree that the Obama administration hates white people?
TANCREDO: Oh [sighs], I don’t know. But I’ll tell you this –
SHUSTER: You don’t know? In other words, they might?
TANCREDO: What do I — I have no idea whether they hate white people or not!
There's also G. Gordon Liddy.
He calls her a racist too. Keep it up guys.
LIDDY: Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when she’s menstruating or something or just before she’s going to menstruate. That would really be bad.... source: C & L

To the back of the bus and beyyyyoooonnnndddd! (think Mr. Lightyear)
I am White. I have never been asked to go to the back of the bus. Granted, I drive a 72-passenger flat nose/pusher almost every day so I'm in control of things on the bus, but sheesh.
Mr. T can't answer the question but I will. For the record, I don't think President Obama hates White People. I don't think he hates people in general. I can't look into his heart or peer into his mind that's for sure, still I really doubt that he has all that much time and/or energy to spend hating people anyway.
I look at his kids and his wife. Nah. Not haters. They look like lovers to me.
The Day in 100 Seconds
It is Friday, TGIF, I just wanna say, Sotomayor, highly qualified, a racist, divided, how to combat Judge Sotomayor, an opportunity to be serious, she's racist, 100% racist, reverse racist, kind of offensive, I'm a blue collar SOB, Woa!, take a step back here, son of a butcher, for kids at home, not how you win elections, race based justice at the expense of white males, care about civil rights, equal justice under law, hostility and bigotry, toward white males, working class guys who voted for Pat Buchanan, serious questions, serious stuff, that woman, stop breathing, no discrimination, between two angry white men, Friday, happy time, dancin' on the ceiling
