StarTribune: A state Supreme Court ruling Wednesday narrowed the options available for Sen. Norm Coleman to erase a slim lead held by DFLer Al Franken in the Minnesota election dispute, and Coleman’s campaign threatened a court battle that could leave the Senate seat vacant for a month.

The Supreme Court denied a bid by the Coleman campaign to prevent local and state canvassing boards from tallying votes that the incumbent says may have been counted twice. Most of the votes at issue are from DFL strongholds.

The justices said the campaign’s claim of double-counted ballots is better resolved in a court hearing where evidence can be presented, instead of by canvassing boards.

The order allows those disputed ballots to remain in the vote totals, at least for now. ….[MORE]

This decision may very well be the death knell for Norm Coleman, and I HOPE IT IS.

One big factor for Mr. Coleman’s problems is the bigoted debate over immigration that he and numerous other Republican congressmen “held so dear” in 2006.

The most rotten of them all was — The King of Anti-Immigrant Xenophobia — Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo, who based his long-shot presidential campaign on shrill and maniacal opposition to all forms of immigration.

Tancredo tried to cut off services to illegal immigrants in Colorado, and to tax the money immigrants send home to their families.

He called the racist PUNKS(The Minuteman), patrolling the Mexican border — HEROES!. Even the pathetic Bush, a Republican, had the sense to call them VIGILANTES, — Heavily armed CHRISTIAN HANGMEN, willing to LYNCH Willy-Nilly, “TO PROTECT THE HOMELAND,” …..aided and abetted by Bush’s HOMELAND SECURITY apparatus.

For historical purposes — this HOMELAND was stolen from the indigenous population inhabiting America before murderous Europeans landed here and butchered them into oblivion. The arrival of Columbus (THE FIRST ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT) in 1492 was a disaster for the original inhabitants of the American continent. Columbus brought with him European diseases, and with no resistance to new germs, tribes rapidly succumbed to unfamiliar illnesses on their first brief contact with the Europeans – in many cases vastly reducing the number of the Americans without anyone even firing a shot.

Where the tribes developed a closer relationship with the new arrivals, they were frequently tricked, tormented and massacred by their visitors. Two elements made the Europeans both strong and ruthless – their possession of guns, and an unshakable conviction in the rightness of their CHRISTIAN cause. [A detailed timeline of events can be found here]

And, that’s exactly what is itching the Minutemen and their racist sympathizers. They are CHRISTIAN GUN-OWNERS — KILLERS, who like Columbus and his diseased entourage, would really love to have ALL IMMIGRANTS hanged, and for good measure, the same done to “ALL NIGGERS!”

Republicans!!!!

Tancredo’s Immigration Fear Mongering AD

This Republican assault helped in accelerating the sanctioning of immigrant hate in the media, resulting in the tripling of hate crimes committed on immigrants, since 2006.

Millions of immigrants, especially Latino’s, have been deeply offended by the VILE and RACIST rhetoric by Republicans and their right-wing media accomplices, and it is very evident that they have made these bastard bigots pay at the polls — from the Democratic gains in 2006, ……to Obama’s landslide.

Latino and immigrant loyalties have shifted, and I think permanently, to the Democratic party, with Obama at the helm.

Norm Coleman is just a cog in a wheel that has undergone a thorough dis-mantling this election season……and I hope he sinks into the DEEPEST HOLE in COLD Minnesota.

Republicans on Immigration: The War Within — The claim of some Republican apologists that the party is “against illegal immigration, but for legal immigration” does not accurately represent the whole party. There are at least four identifiable factions within the GOP. They are, in the order of permissiveness to immigration:

1. Limousine (Liberal) Republicans

2. Dick Morris Republicans (Pragmatists)

3. “Dirty Harry” (Law and Order) Republicans

4. “Anglo-Saxon” Culture Warriors
