Tommy T is BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just when you thought it was safe, here comes Tom Tancredo!  Thoroughly defeated as a Republican presidential candidate after being unable to collect more than a handful of votes (including from those “bitter” working folks), Tommy T — not to be confused with Mr. T — returned to the mountains of Colorado last December.  Now, he is back a with a vengeance!

Marc Ambinder at theAtlantic.com reports that “[f]ormer Catholic and soon to be former Congressman Tom Tancredo blasted the pro-immigrant message of visiting Pope Benedict XVI and accused the leader of the Catholic Church of supporting immigration because it swells attendance at U.S. churches.”  Tancredo specifically accused the Pope of fostering a welcome environment for immigrants because of an interest in “recruiting new members.” Click here to read Tancredo’s comments. The Democratic National Committee denounced  what Tancredo said about the Pope.
