Lindsey Graham Deserved Local GOP's Censure

by Samuel Harms - August 22nd, 2007 - The Greenville News (greenvilleonline.com)

MEChA believes that certain territories inside the United States, such as California, Texas and Colorado, are still part of a mythical Aztec Empire and that Chicanos are the rightful rulers of the territory, known as "Aztlan." MEChA's motto: "For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada" -- "For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing" -- should be a wake-up call for Americans.

Graham spoke to this racist group and informed them "We are going to tell the bigots to shut up". He was speaking of Americans who criticize open borders. He was not criticizing the racist attitudes of La Raza and MEChA. He was criticizing Americans who disagree with them.

What Graham was doing was pandering to a racist group for their votes. Why shouldn't he be censured?
