Recently Panhandle Truth Squad thanked Senator Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico, our closest U.S. Senator to vote against the torture lawyer.

Now the wingnuts are targeting him.

Apparently, they think that hispanic people will vote against him because the torture lawyer is nominally hispanic.

Why? Do the wingnuts think they're all related?

I was perfectly happy to rant against John Ashcroft, even though he was white like me. And I have no doubt that Latinos will understand the issues involved and support Bingaman's stance against the torture lawyer. He'll need our help, though, before the wingnuts spend a bazillion dollars to make him look like Virgil Van Camp.
