SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) -- Democratic Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez says she didn't intend to offend anyone when she told a reporter that "the Vietnamese" and Republicans were trying to take her seat representing California's Orange County.

Sanchez said Friday she "used a poor choice of words that some people have taken as offensive" in a Spanish-language interview with Jorge Ramos on Univision's Sunday morning show, "Al Punto."

I find the Congresswoman to be offensive.

Hey, is this one of those opportunities to apply Alinsky’s rule about holding the opposition to their own standard?

However, when Sanchez and illegally registered and voting Hispanics contributed to stealing Dornan’s seat, it was okay.

Hell, she was offensive before she was voted in. Her husband was a piece of _ too.

Sounds like you’re a racist Ms. Sanchez.

Notice how they libtards always apologize for statements they intended to make?

What she really meant was her seat was reserved for Hispanic-Americans. Punto.

Not really. The amount of brains, and therefore poop, involved was minimal.

I’m suprised she didn’t say “I didn’t intend to offend anyone - plus George W. Bush hates the Vietnamese.”

Didn't intend for outsiders to hear it is what she means.

Well, I can say something really offensive against certain group of people then say I use poor choice of word too, right. Wrong. The damage have been done. At least now the Vietnamese people will open their eye and realize who they have been support all these years. I'm speaking as an American-Vietnamse living in Orange County 47th District.

Seriously - I love this.

We’re all called racists for daring to talk about groups. But only the preferred groups. Blacks and “hispanics”. Oh, and now arabs, since they’re poor misunderstood Moslems who like to bomb America.

You can talk about orientals and whites all you want, in specifics or not. That’s OK.

She meant what she said, and she said what she meant. A democrat’s racist one-hundred percent.
