The crowd in the gallery burst into boos and jeers of: "Nazis. You're acting like Nazis!"

Can the RATS ever overcome these types of allegations? I dunno...

Why grow up when throwing Gerber against the refrigerator until it sticks gets you your way.

LULAC. Lawsuit. Nothing new under the sun, as usual...

"Nazis. You're acting like Nazis!"

Yeah, we know. Let's get this all out at once. Ok, lessee...

"Nazis!"
"Racists!"
"Haters!"
"Evil!"
"Fascists!"

Anything else you Libs want to call us? Come on, get it out of your systems. You know you want to. Just breathe deep and let us have it. It sure wouldn't be the first time. I promise, we won't get offended (though we might snicker a little).

There. Don't you feel better now? No? That's because MOST PEOPLE DON'T AGREE WITH YOU. Yes, yes, I know, you're right and everyone else is an idiot. Of *course* Communism is a wonderful thing (snicker). Here, have a tofu cookie.

God help me, I love sarcasm.

""I don't think there is any question that what they will proposed will violate the Voting Rights Act," Bledsoe said.

This is a mis-quote: It should have read " violate the Democratic Voting Rights Act.

"Nazis. You're acting like Nazis!"

These liberals are trivializing the Holocaust by comparing the creation of more Republican districts to the mass murder of Jews. Conservatives have got to start defending their honor against these leftist bullies.

I think that the rest of us are beginning to see the types of race-baiting that Texas Republicans must endure. For example, here is a recent statement from the website of Senator Leticia Van de Putte (brackets, bold mine):

Statement of Senator Leticia Van de Putte

Yesterday afternoon Republicans in the Texas Senate, without a quorum [whose fault is that!], levied a shameful and illegal poll tax on the Texas 11. In so doing, these white Republicans have levied a poll tax on every minority member of the Texas Senate.

The Republicans demand $57,000 per Senator. Ironically, this is the identical amount that Rick Perry's special sessions on redistricting are costing taxpayers per day. Here's an idea-call off these redistricting sessions, we'll forget about the fines, and we'll call it even.

[On what planet is that "even"?]

This isn't just a poll tax on us [It's not a "poll tax" at all, dearie]. It is a poll tax on our constituents. It is an illegal poll tax on the 1.4 million minority Texans they seek to disenfranchise through their partisan redistricting scheme.

To Lt. Governor Dewhurst, this $57,000 poll tax may not seem like a big deal. [Keep saying it, Letty, you might convince yourself.] But to the millions of Texans whose voices they are trying to silence, this is an insulting slap in the face.

This is a shameful return to the days of the Jim Crow laws designed to prevent the electoral participation of minorities in the South, and every single Republican who voted for it should be deeply ashamed.

We remain defiant and we remain committed to representing our constituents, no matter how hard Governor Perry and Lt. Governor Dewhurst, led by Republican powerbrokers in Washington, try to force us to abandon the 1.4 million minority Texans for whom we are making our stand.

[That must make your white constituents feel so special.]

We once again call on President Bush to repudiate the effort, led in part by his own staff, to disenfranchise millions of minority Texans through this partisan redistricting scheme.
