It's being reported today that video has surfaced of Texas' Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis saying: "They’re talking about whether they should soften their language on immigration, but we all know where they are because they’ve been talking about it on the airwaves for the last couple of months.” She continued: “And we know what they really believe and think about people who don’t look like them or come from where they come from.”
Saying "we all know" is apparently the liberal version of a fact, and I guess the "common-knowledge" nature of this "fact" led her to conclude that actually identifying what it is that they all know was an unnecessary exercise. Since I in fact don't "know," I'm not going to attempt to understand her insidious implication---I can simply assume that she was saying that we are racist. But if she is referring to white men who were born in America, she has it backwards---nobody votes for those who fit their own profile at a lower rate than white, native-born American males. It is, in fact, nearly every other racial-ethnic-gender group combination that votes for those who "look like them" at the highest rates. So, what's really going here is not that we don't like people who don't look like us and don't come from where we come, but rather it is Wendy Davis who doesn't like people who do look like her and do come from where she comes---since we know how this smear will go over in Texas, it's safe to assume that this had little to do with her gubernatorial race, and much to do with her MSNBC application...
