In this election cycle, when the various GOP candidates are competing to see who can torture and bomb more than anyone else, I suppose it had to happen sometime. Rep. Tom Tancredo, the rabidly anti-immigrant long-shot candidate, now has a TV ad which sums it up: vote for me or die horribly.
Tancredo is, of course, no stranger to controversy. He supports nuking Mecca in the event of a nuclear terror attack, has called Miami a "Third World country," and addressed a pro-Confederate group as members dressed as Southern officers sang "Dixie."
But this takes fear-mongering to a new level. Tancredo's position is clear: hate anyone who doesn't look like you, because any one of them could be a terrorist. (He seems to have forgotten a fellow by the name of Timothy McVeigh.)
Sheesh.
