Critics slam Georgia paper for doctored photo of governor as Nazi
Atlanta (CNN) -- A Spanish-language newspaper in Georgia has drawn bipartisan criticism for publishing a doctored photograph depicting the state's new governor as a Nazi.

El Nuevo Georgia Editor Rafael Navarro said the picture was meant to call attention to Hispanic issues -- and grab the attention of residents and politicians who often ignore the Hispanic community.

"Americans don't read our paper because they can't read Spanish. They don't read our news, our editorials and the opinion of the community. But if they see a picture, they'll get it," he said.

5. Most republican pols claim to do or be whatever it takes to fool...
the fools into voting for them.

It sounds good to the teabagger base to bash so and so, therefore the liar running for office bashes away. "Winning" any way he or she can, including lying, cheating and or, stealing, is all that is important to a GOPer. The condition of the country and it's entire population be damned!

2. lol at some of the comments on cnn.com slamming the tea baggers.
I especially like this one: Hi, Tea Partier here. I'm gonna just skip reading the article, ignore any facts, and go straight to the comment thread where I will write something about how illegals are taking our jobs away(...):D

3. They are talking about a SB1070 sytle law for GA. I think the comparison is valid, because

Latinos would have to keep identification on them at all times proving they are legal citizens. Kinda like the Jews were required to do under a certain authoritarian Right Wing regime in Germany.

4. Los que hablan de libertad y tienen las manos negras...
Los que quieren dividir a la madre de sus hijos
y quieren reconstruir la cruz que arrastara Cristo

quieren ocultar la infamia que legaron desde siglos
pero el color de asesino no borrarán de sus manos

(Those who speak of liberty and have stained hands...
Those who want to split a mother from her children
and want to resurrect the Cross that Christ carried

They want to hide the infamy they have had for centuries
but the color of killer will not erase from their hands...


Go get 'em Victor!

6. I have a problem with Navarro's quote
"Americans don't read our paper because they can't read Spanish..."

If they are publishing this picture to draw political attention to Hispanic issues, then one would think that the Hispanics they are writing for are voters and if they're voters, they're Americans....

*Scratches head* Right?
