Translation from Huff Post:

The Putnam ad begins in Spanish, saying, "Sonia Sotomayor esta apunto de ser la primera latina y la primera puertorriqueña a servir en la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos. Es un momento de orgullo para nuestra comunidad. Sin embargo, los lideres republicanos insisten en atacarla."

That is: "Sonia Sotomayor is set to be the first Latina, and the first Puerto Rican, to serve on the US Supreme Court. It is a proud moment for our community. Yet Republican leaders insist on attacking her:"

It then switches back to English to quote Limbaugh saying, "She doesn't have any intellectual depth. She's got a -- she's an angry woman, she's a bigot. She's a racist."

Back in Spanish, it tells listeners, "Eso fue el lider Republicano, Rush Limbaugh diciendo que la Juez Sotomayor es racista y prejuiciada. Esto es un insulto a todos los Latinos y Americanos. Le preguntamos al congresista Republicano Adam Putnam si denunciaría las palabras de Limbaugh. El se negó a responder. Pongamos alto al odio. Llame hoy al congresista Adam Putnam al 863-534-3530 y pidale que condene este language."

Or: "That's Republican leader Rush Limbaugh calling Judge Sotomayor a racist and a bigot. It's insulting to all Latinos and Americans. We asked Republican Congressman Adam Putnam if he would denounce Limbaugh's words. He refused to reply. Let's put a stop to the hate. Call Congressman Putnam today at 863-534-353 and tell him to condemn this language."

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee endorsed the ad and set up a page where people can help Presente Action keep it on the air -- DenunciaRush.com.

1. Excelente

Me gusto mucho



(Boy I hope I got that all right. I don't speak Spanish! But this is great.)

[YOY]

2. I don't know what's sadder...calling Rush a "Republican Leader"

or the fact that he is.

Led by an AM Radio shockjock who lies like a mother-fucker, doesn't debate withanyone, doesn't leave the sanctity of his protected little radio booth, and gets millions a year to do so...wow...

4. I call him Tailgunner Rush because

he reminds me of Joe McCarthy.

[AlbertCat]

5. Even McCarthy left his "booth" to do something about his warped notions.

Rush is less than McCarthy.

9. Yeah, the Hispanics are going to fall

for limpdick's trashing of the first female Latina Supreme Court judge nominee.

10. It's all over the news that the republicans are bashing Sotomayor in the hearings.

Damn are they stupid sometimes!

(I say sometimes because they did steal the election twice).
