Just goes to show that your speech is not free. There will be something to pay for what you say, Right or wrong.

I think he said "illiterate peasants" to avoid saying "criminal aliens"...both of which are correct just not politically correct.

Good for him!
I bet he is niggardly with the people's money too. He also knows a lot of dumb Polack jokes.

Well, just toss their hankies on the floor and stomp on them ! Geez....what have we become ? A nation of wusses ? The man speaks for his constituents and should be allowed say what he wants.
How about "stupid illiterate peasants" ?
How about ILLEGAL illiterate peasant" ?
It's a good thing I'm not a lawmaker. I'd have shoved that mic down that woman's throat.

Douglas Bruce Eduardo Arnal, the Consul General of Mexico in Denver, called Bruce's remarks "unfortunate" and "offensive." Well, Mr. Arnal, I find it even more offensive that the government of mexico encourages, supports and defends their citizens to break the laws of this nation. What Mr. Bruce said was factually accurate. Just maybe you are illiterate of the English language. And if you are like the vast majority of mexicans in high office you have a disdain of and for the farmering class of your own country. Yes, Sir, those would be the peasants. Do look the word up.

777: I get the Denver "locals" and believe me, the comments that
CLOWN made, did not go over too well. Denver and Coloradoa has
a Large Hispanic/American population. Many folks cant tell the
difference so it was very offensive to say what he did. Just at
a time when our Economy is going in the tank. Its a little late
to be blaming "peasants" for our our problems. Wrong answer all
the way around. If he would have worded his views a bit more
mature, his message would have come through loud and clear. It
basically backfired on his butt!

What does this have to do with "all white"?
Didn't know that "illiterate peasant" was a race? But then I'm just your "typical white person". You answered your own question. I noticed that the GOP Politician that made that "statement" was NOT Hispanic, or African American, or Asian, or ....

He does not need a "Definition" to prove a RACIST rant.
Any typical white person, knows what he is talking about.

Did you perform a blood test on him?
What difference does it make, what he calls the invaders? They are what they are and he's tired of it. He's so tired that he isnt afraid to say what he feels, which is more than I can say about 99% of the politicians. Obviously, he's doing what his voters want him to do...and he has he ballz to do it...instead of living in fear of the P.C. sissies.
