I knew this was coming...
We're picking on Gonzalez because he's Latino..,Yeah, Right.

By Ruben Navarrette Jr.

SAN DIEGO, California (CNN) -- In the flap over the ousted U.S. attorneys, Alberto Gonzales has been hoisted up as a political piñata.

The nation's first Hispanic attorney general is being pressured to resign by -- pick 'em -- Democrats trying to make hay, an elite media that long opposed him, civil libertarians who condemn administration policy on detainees and wiretaps, conservatives who think Gonzales is too liberal, and liberals who think he's too conservative.

The list even includes a pair of immigrant-baiting members of Congress -- Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-California and Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colorado -- who fell out with Gonzales over the prosecution of two ex-border patrol agents.

Leading this lynch mob are white liberals who resent Gonzales because they can't claim the credit for his life's accomplishments and because they can't get him to curtsy.

1. Of course
It has nothing to do with obstruction of justice and lying to congress and blind loyalty to a criminal. Its because he's not white. You got it bucko!

3. Right. And we hate Clarence Thomas not because he's a
rabid rightwing extremist freak who uses the Constitution to wipe his butt, but because he's black...Yeah, that's it.
