The racist attitude at Think Progress has exposed itself for all to see. They now attack McCain for visiting a Latin nation: Colombia. President Uribe has done a great job at restoring order in Colombia. He’s broken the back of the Leftist terror group the FARC. The FARC receives funding from Venezuela and Iran. This has Think Progress angry. Colombia has defeated the Leftist-Islamic alliance, so they must be ostracized. McCain violated this, so now Think Progress attacks him.
McCain heads to Colombia, where his top strategist has lobbying ties.»
This is very personal for me. My Stepdad is Colombian and many of my friends are as well. I know the situation over there and his town was once under guerilla control. Thanks to Uribe it law and order has been restored. This is another example of Leftist Racists mad that a Latin nation made real Progress and is becoming a modern nation. They smeared Pinochet for turning Chile into a modern nation, now they are doing the same to Uribe. McCain is attacked because Think Progress hates him and by going to Colombia it has struck a nerve with the Left. After all us Latins can’t advance without doing it the way Progressives tell us!
