The media's double standard on Hispanic political loyalties

But where the discussion really got interesting was when I made the point that Democrats were not in the clear either. President Obama’s support among Latinos is, I said, “a mile wide and an inch deep” in part because he hasn’t delivered on immigration reform as promised. In fact, his surrogates such as Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano actually go around the country bragging about how many illegal immigrants have been deported. That, too, does not sit well with many Latinos…

Todd asked Sidoti about that. Begrudgingly, the reporter agreed. After all, she said, Latino voters are “fickle.” A few seconds later, she said it again. Latino voters are “fickle.”

Hmm. Fickle, eh? How condescending.

Note the mindset of the elite and Obama-friendly D.C. media. If Latinos don’t vote for Republicans, it’s because they’re understandably outraged over being picked on and treated as scapegoats. But if Latinos don’t vote for Democrats, it’s because those voters are fickle.
