Nanny Bloomberg takes some time to address all the Spanish-speaking denizens of New York City, and to welcome them to the Big Manzana.

IDIOTIC ALASKA GOP CONGRESSMAN’S “WETBACK” SLUR GIVES LAPDOG MEDIA ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO SCREECH “RACIST!”
The liberal media is taking absolute delight in taking another idiot GOP politician’s words to beat the rest of us over the head with.
In this case it was Alaska representative Don Young, who used the term “wetback” which is very offensive to Hispanics:
During a visit Young made to Ketchikan, KRBD-FM interviewed him on a variety of issues pertaining to the economy and Arctic development. Young mentioned the role technology played in advancing economic development, using an example from his farm days in California.
“My father had a ranch; we used to have 50-60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes,” Young said. “It takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now. It’s all done by machine.”
I took to twitter to express my frustration and anger at this, and unfortunately, I got some push back from some conservatives. Now, I agree that the liberal media completely embellishes these stories while covering up or not reporting at all those similar stories on the Left.
One perfect example was from this weekend when the Palestinian Authority’s militant wing Hamas posted an article calling Obama the “Jewish Organ-Grinder’s Monkey.” If an individual on the Right had said this, they would have been captured, shaved, jobless, and tarred and feathered within the hour of utterance. But because it’s Jimmy Carter’s best friends forever, the crazy Hitler-loving 911-denying Palestinians, it wasn’t reported at all.
However, Young’ comments are still offensive, and plain stupid.
The problem I have with anyone defending his comments is that it seems like a knee-jerk conservative reaction to leftist knee-jerk screeching of “racist.” We don’t have to defend every conservative against accusations of racism, and in this case, we shouldn’t.
Defend conservative principles and values, don’t stubbornly defend Republicans when they say something stupid, especially when it’s feeding into leftist stereotypes of the GOP.
Yes, even the mysterious cryptozoological creature of Latin American lore celebrates Christmas. For those gringos who are unaware, the chupacabra is a mythical urban legend that translates to “goatsucker” in English, for its reported penchant for sucking the blood from goats and other small woodland animals.
Still cute though.
