"I am NOT a white hispanic", she said

[ensho]

she being Jullian Bandes of Townhall.com who was on Wash. Journal this a.m.

she said this in correcting the host in pronouncing her name wrong. he said her name sounding like Bandez instead of Bandes.

she was born and raised in Miami, just so you know where all that came from.

she is neo con and what she had to say this morning was boring to say the least.

gads, she has a lot to learn.

1. Wth is a "white hispanic" anyway? Either you're hispanic or you're not.

I admit it, I'm confused.

5. Hispanic in an ethnicity, not a racial category

So there are white, black, asian, pacific islander, etc. hispanics. In the US, most hispanics are white; in Brazil, many are black.

11. Actually most US Hispanics are mixed 'mestizo' - white/indigenous American

7. Hispanic is a language group. White hispanic is Ricky Ricardo and Mel Martinez.

9. Ok so basically she's saying; I'm not one of "those" people...

Thanks 2 both of you.

10. Will she also deny being a woman? n/t

14. If she's a typical Palin/Mccain "Our America" repub, that would be political suicide.

Must be hard for them to walk such a narrow tightrope, eh?

:)

2. I'd have probably said band'-ess having never heard the name. So what is her point?

3. Is there an uglier person that Republicans could find?

They've gone and spent up the blond route- and Palin's spent up the white, brunette angle.

I mean really. These folks are just ugly as can be inside- and eventually, it does come to the surface.

4. and the host kept pretty much mispronouncing it the whole segment

she was a special kind of crazy

6. Reminds me of a call I once took at my former job.

Customer asked us not to send a black technician next time. She asked if we would send a white guy instead.

I said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Martines, we have no control over what color the technician is we send to your house.

She says, "It's not Mar-teen-EZ... it's Mar-teen-AY."

Seriously.

True story.
