What in the world are they doing? How exactly do Republicans think that expanding the fight against Sotomayor to include La Raza is a winning strategy?

BTW, La Raza’s slogan is “Strengthening America by promoting the advancement of Latino families” not, as Tancredo says, “All for the race. Nothing for the rest.” NCLR has even published a document debunking the nonsense spewing from the right.
And the talk’s been building. Check out this compilation video from Media Matters and tell me how you’d feel if you were Latino. This fight has grown past a Supreme Court nominee, and now encompasses an entire race of people. On the bright side, one Republican, Senator John Cornyn, is speaking out against the attacks. He could use some help from the rest of his party… unless they’re happy kissing the Latino vote good-bye.
Seriously, are Republicans capable of anything other than the nuclear option?
