COLUMBIA, S.C. | Sept. 11, 2006 -- For a college football game day, the South Carolina State Museum in downtown Columbia was a busy place on the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 9.
On the ground floor, a United States Army brass band commemorated the victims of 9/11. One level up, not far from the museum's permanent Confederate Army exhibit, the state chapter of the League of the South (LOS), a neo-Confederate hate group, hosted a barbeque in honor of Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo, head of the House Immigration Reform Caucus and likely contestant in the 2008 GOP presidential primary. Proceeds from the $15 per-plate fundraiser went to Americans Have Had Enough!, a South Carolina-based non-profit coalition for which Tancredo serves as honorary chairman.While Tancredo's hard-line "deport 'em all" stance on immigration has made him a favorite politician of white supremacists, this marked the first time the congressman has appeared at a hate group event.
Dressed casually in a yellow t-shirt, Tancredo addressed the standing-room audience of 200-250 from behind a podium draped in a Confederate battle flag. To the congressman's right, a portrait of Robert E. Lee peered out at the crowd of Minutemen activists, local politicians, and red-shirted members of LOS and the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The Confederate trappings of the event found a mismatch in Tancredo's standard nativist polemic, which stayed clear of references to Southern heritage or direct plaudits for the LOS, a Southern white nationalist organization dedicated to "Southern independence, complete, full, and total."
Tancredo's appearance was part of a five-day sweep through conservative South Carolina, which hosts an early GOP primary and has seen the Southeast's largest percentage gain in foreign-born residents since the 2000 Census. Rising to his friendly audience, Tancredo blasted South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham for being too soft on immigration and basked in the long applause that followed his harangues against illegal immigrants and "the cult of multiculturalism" that glorifies disunity and refuses to acknowledge the "Christian principles enshrined in the U.S. Constitution." (Tancredo did not appear to grasp the irony of addressing the "lack of unity" in America in front of a group dedicated to Southern secession.)
The afternoon's proceedings were opened by Garland McCoy, board member of Americans Have Had Enough! McCoy, a veteran conservative activist and treasurer of the telecom industry front-group Progress and Freedom Foundation, declared he "has not been so excited" by a politician in a long time. "Tom Tancredo can go all the way," he said. Most in the crowd appeared to agree. "I brought my son here today to meet the next president of the United States," one man told Tancredo during the question-and-answer period.
McCoy was followed by a lineup of conservative South Carolina politicians and LOS members, including a local preacher who during a rambling invocation called upon the audience to "pray for everyone involved [in the fight] against those coming from desperate cultures and languages [sic]."
At the close of Tancredo's speech, several men in confederate-themed clothing stood up and bellowed the first notes of "Dixie," the Confederate anthem. They were soon joined by voices from throughout the large hall, which was now entirely on its feet. Tancredo, a second-generation Italian-American from Denver, appeared confused by the sudden burst of strange song. He quickly worked his way toward the exit with his staff.
Tancredo's encounter with the League of the South continued outside. On the steps of the museum, Tancredo held court with LOS officials and supporters in Confederate clothing. He held a batch of the materials being distributed at the barbeque, among them a copy of the The Citizen's Informer, the newspaper of the Conservative Citizens Council, the racist organization that grew out of the segregationist White Citizens Councils of the 1950s. When questioned about the newspaper, Tancredo responded that he did not know its history.

The hour is late. Congressman Tancredo should make no bones about the demographic shift in North-America .The recent redistricting in Texas, the GOP garnished seats for the republican honkie party, maintaining the illusion that whites are 70%.
The United States House of Representatives, 109th Congress: Congressman Tancredo is serious about stopping the invasion, he should form a Euro-Caucus, (White” is too traumatizing) to counter the power of Spic-Caucus, Nig-Caucus, and finally the international Jew.

Tancredo is a dedicated Bush butt-boy and a political whore. He represents congressional district 6, here in Colorado, centered around Castle Rock, south of Denver, which is suburban to rural, mostly white, mostly Republican goobers.
His "undocumented worker" position is calculated to please the Republicans who sorta like Bush, but wish the damn messicans would go back to messico. If congressional district 6 were to go gay, Tancredo would be supporting gay rights. It the district went straight again, Tancredo would be for sending gerbils back to Gerbalia.
In short, he is just a fucking whore, just like all of them.

Please, don't get me started on Tancredo. Every time I turn the TV on here I see him talking to some group of local Rabbis wearing a little jew-beanie. He is not a jew, himself, but he couldn't support Israel more, if he were.
I'm looking for the quote; when I find a direct quote, not a reference, I will post it. Tandredo also made the comment that the US should nuke Mecca and Medina. He is a full-on supporter of Israel. This piece of shit fools a lot of goobers, but he is just another lick-spittle Bush butt boy, always looking for approval from Israel.
And, No! He doesn't give a fuck about the mexicans--that's just an act for the goobers in district 6.

What he said was that Mecca should be bombed if there was a nuclear strike on the united states:

Bombing Mecca would bring us into some very bad times, as you can well imagine, but, in all honesty if there was an actual nuclear strike on the U.S. it would only make sense that there would have to be a response. No leader would sit on their hands and do nothing about something like that.

Yes, and if the Tele-Tubbies nuke the US, I think we should nuke them back too. My next door neighbors have a little 2 1/2 year old daughter named Surry--of all things. The cutest little girl--my heart just melts every time I see her. BUT, if she nukes the US, I think we should nuke her back.
All this has about the same probability. The Muslims, the Tele-Tubbies, little Surry. The odds are about the same that any of these will nuke the US.
Tancredo plays to the jews, every waking minute. He couldn't be more pro-jew if foreskins fell out of his mouth when he talked.

I know it is not going to happen, but I just wanted to correct what I saw as a semi-incorrect statement. It sounded as if you had thought he just talked, out of the blue, about nuking mecca(which would basically make him some kind of nut:p ) when the more correct story was that he was responding to certain hypothetical scenerios. With the climate as it is you have to expect a politician, especially one like Tancredo who is playing to a more so called "conservative" crowd to make a strong statement like that.
