A major announcement is expected from the fearmongering, single-issue candidate this afternoon; looks like his one-issue “Brown Menace” campaign has run out of gas.
U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, who has been polling in low single digits throughout the Republican presidential campaign, has scheduled a "major announcement" concerning his long-shot campaign for Thursday afternoon in Des Moines, Iowa. …Tancredo is widely seen as a single-issue candidate, hammering away consistently on the topic of illegal immigration. A recent television advertisement drew widespread comment for its depiction of a hooded figure slipping into a shopping mall and leaving a back-pack bomb in a mall concourse, followed by the words, "Tancredo, Before It's Too Late."Let's go to YouTube for that classic moment…
Tancredo: Hi I'm Tom Tancredo and I approved this message because someone needs to say it.Voiceover: There are consequences to open borders beyond the 20 million aliens who have come to take our jobs. Islamic terrorists now freely roam U.S. soil, Jihadists who froth with hate here to do as they have in London, Spain, Russia. The price we pay for spineless politicians who refuse to defend our borders against those who come to kill.

On Screen: Tancredo… before it's too late.
I wonder who he'll toss his support to? Thompson?
Also, it looks like someone has already predicted that Tancredo will now make a bid to run for the Senate, and has already snared the domain Tancredo for Senate.com. Hilarious.

Where will his fervent supporters, the Tancretins, go? All 12 of them?
And once he’s gone, how will we tell the difference?
I guess it’s too late already.
And who will protect us from that backpack now?
“And who will protect us from that backpack now?”
Tancredo will do it himself. Personally…
I swear, watching that commercial of his from a couple of weeks ago, i think Tancredo should have titled his brown panic video as Der Ewige Lateinisch
I would be a whole lot happier about this if the rest of the pack weren’t already trying to out-Tancredo Tancredo.
And once he’s gone, how will we tell the difference?
It’ll be difficult, but if you hear words more insane than usual coming from a Republican debate, look at the speaker’s skin color. If it’s not pasty white, you’re probably hearing Alan Keyes.
Tancredo was the last best hope we had against an army of terrorist immigrant Mexislamofascists who want to blow up shopping malls, our greatest national treasures. God help us.
Tom,
I watched the Republican debate-until Freddy told his (mostly) enthralled audience about all the progress we were making in Iraq. But when I heard that, I thought “We are going to hell in a handbasket.”
He’s endorsing Romney now…since both have sanctuary mansions, I guess they go hand-in-hand.
“Nuke Mecca” Tancredo is also, surprise, a chickenhawk who decided to suddenly stop getting treatment for mental illness/depression once his student deferments ran out during Vietnam, not only a slap in the face to those he’s helped send off to kill, and to veterans trying to stop the war like Murtha and Kerry he’s considered “soft,” but also to the legitimately depressed.
One down, who’s next?
Some of the comments on that YouTube page are pretty unpleasant. One guy compared Tancredo to Jean-Marie Le Pen—and thought he was giving a compliment.
@ The Crapture:LOL!But even in German ,it would be “Der ewige Latino” Don’t trust google-translations,we use the American word to describe Latein-Amerikaner.Sonds better.
And yes, that ad’s sentiment DID ring familiar…
