The booming Hispanic population in political swing states is creating opportunities and headaches in both political parties as they try to court the Latino vote. NOW on PBS travels to Florida just weeks before its important primary to examine Republican tactics to win over Hispanic Americans. A fifth of Florida’s residents are Hispanic, and Republicans are scoring points on traditional issues of faith and national security. But at the same time, they’re frustrating Latinos with what many of them see as harsh anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Who has the winning approach?

On the NOW on PBS website, also check out our new Democracy Toolkit, with tools, information, and links to take you behind the election headlines.


Considering that half the Republican platform consists of playing up the fear and hatred of brown peoples everywhere, it amazes me that they could even hope for the Latino vote. Talking about voting against your interests. The entire episode of NOW is available for download and streaming at their site.


A major correction:

"Considering that half the Republican platform consists of playing up the fear and hatred of illegal brown peoples entering the United States, and those who enable them to come and live here."

And even that doesn't cover all the "brown people" false racial insinuations that are yours, NOT ours.

NOT all hispanics are resented. And if so many legal hispanics weren't so pro-illegal, they would be viewed by more as fellow Americans, instead of as enemy enablers living inside our borders. It is not racism. It has everything to do with unAmerican hispanic ATTITUDES, NOT race.

But you're a slandering sack of shit, so of course you'd try and frame it that way.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
