You are either being dishonest or you are ignorant...which one is it?
A literacy test was a method that was used during the Jim Crow era to deny people their voting RIGHTS...I guess words like 'rights' only apply when YOUR rights are threatened. When it applies to 'others', you have no problem making it a right for you and a 'privilege' for them?
BTW, you 'less government' folks NEVER seem to have any problem with MORE government in other people's lives, DO YOU?

You just FAILED the less government test...
Its not a literacy test.....it was a civics test just like for immigrants when they first come here to make sure they have a basic understanding of the system.
Now all this being said I'm not for that idea but just because I don't support his idea/statments on said idea doesn't mean i'll sit here and let you be dishonest about what he said.
The only one being dishonest is YOU. That was not the only thing he said that smells of racism and xenophobia. Tom Tancredo has a reputation that preceded him. The tea party had to know what they would get when they invited him to speak, and be the first ever speaker at their first ever national convention.
Stop being so obtuse.
I'm not being obtuse, you are the one trying to stretch tancredo's drivel to fit your position that he is calling for Jim Crow.
