Parasites need blood from their victim to exist, a symbiotic co-existence. They take only enough nourishment in order to exist but not to the extent of hurting their victim, because that would be asking for their own demise. The fact remains they cannot exist based soley on their own merits. Asking MALDEF not to take money from the alchohol industry is like asking a the legislature not take Union money.

Yes, Latinos need to assume responsibility for DUI, drinking excessively, etc., which is why some of us are asking MALDEF, NCLR, etc. to stop taking money from the alcohol industry. You come in here and start assuming what we think about the Irish and stereotypes, telling us that we live in our own world, etc. You don't add anything substantive to the debate. You assume that the people here live in an "all brown world" without knowing who they are or the history or perspective that they bring. You are thisclose to being banned from this blog forever. This is your notice. DelToro,

Why squander an Hispanic pick now, so far from the election and with such a solid majority of Democrats in the Senate? Save the Hispanic vote for closer to 2012, and after immigration reform has failed--when Hispanics need a bone."
