Tancredo hangs out with League of the South

The Southern Poverty Law Center reports:

[T]he 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... 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.

And to think, I was just worrying that Tancredo had learned to stay quiet.

Incidentally, not too long ago, a Tancredo supporter threatened to beat Bill Winter's supporters' "skulls in with a ball pean (sic) hammer." I finally remembered where I'd heard this before. It comes from the opening sequence of Eli Roth's Cabin Fever, in which some kids tell a campfire tale about a murder in a bowling alley.

This is a great opportunity for writing letters to the editor supporting Bill Winter as a spectacular alternative to the ever more embarrassing Tancredo.
