Lindsey Graham tells US to "shut up"

Cross posted from Common Sense America

A video of Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) at the Capital Awards gala hosted by the National Council of La Raza proves that the only thing broken when it comes to our immigration debacle is the spine of our elected officials. This is a United States Senator saying that we need to tell the “bigots” who disagree with amnesty for illegal aliens to “shut up”. In his disgraceful pandering to illegal aliens, he even states that to be an American is just an “idea” and “no group owns being an American”.

You have to watch the video to the very end to get the offending quote.

Graham's comment ties in nicely with this story;

Three brothers charged in the alleged Fort Dix terror plot have been living illegally in the U.S. for more than 23 years and were accepted as Americans by neighbors and friends who had no idea they would scheme to attack military bases and slaughter GIs.

Never mind the Dems, we have to win over the GOP.
