Well, you can't accuse Tancredo of hiring people that don't think like him.

                                An aide to Tom Tancredo has pleaded guilty to a hate crime, compromising the former congressman's credibility as he helps lead the opposition to Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court, the <EM>Washington Independent </EM>reports. Marcus Epstein, executive director of the onetime Republican presidential candidate's PAC, copped to using a racial slur and karate-chopping an African-American woman in the head on a DC street in 2007. 
                            </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.newser.com/story/60787/aides-plea-in-hate-crime-undercuts-tancredo.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hom"><P>
                        Tancredo, who has said Sotomayor "appears to be a racist," is a leading light of the anti-immigration movement; Epstein was a speechwriter for his ill-fated presidential campaign. Epstein will not be sentenced until July 8, but the drunken incident has apparently resulted in the revocation of his acceptance to the University of Virginia's law school, where he had planned to enroll this fall, Talking Points Memo adds.
