    The Mexican quote is racist. You can parse it down all you want to, but anyone who lives in a heavily immigrant community knows it's a lie.

    But let's go with an actual lie, then, a racist one that preys on prejudice:

    Columba Bush is in no way an illegal immigrant. She met Jeb in Mexico, married him in 1974 (allowing her entry into the country) and became a citizen in 1979.

    It's racist and it's a lie.

    I think that's the worst thing I've seen, and I don't even interpret it like you do. It's worse than that - he's not saying that Columba Bush is an illegal. He's saying that simply because she's Mexican, he "has to like the Mexican Illegals."

    Between your steadying hand and the invisible hand of Ragu/Adam Smith, SJ.com is in good hands.:)

    Tell that to all the Bernie supporters who won't be voting for Hillary in November. It's really not a problem for me.

    Let's remember you're talking to someone who doesn't believe it's racist when a bunch of white frat bros sing songs about how they'd rather lynch black people than let one into their frat.

    I was replying to YF, but now that you mention it, yes, I think Dick appreciates the irony with which Trump is approaching his presidential persona.

    Right, sorry. I was referring to Dick.

    Everyone knows irony goes right over YF's head. :)

    I certainly thought the song was racist and expressed racist thoughts. I don't know that the people who sang it are racists.

    I gave up trying when I realized I didn't know the definition of the word.

    You're something of a trolling moron, good to know.
