“I don’t know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be Republican.”How is that any less offensive than saying all blacks look alike or all Asians are bad drivers (yes, you can make an argument for that second one)? No Republican could even make a blanket racial statement like that and get away without a public flogging from the media and political class. They'd be out of a job in a flash.
However, in Democratland people are not individuals, they're part of groups, and all members of those groups are expected to vote and think alike. That's why liberal heads explode whenever a conservative black, gay or feminist shows up. They're not acting according to the playbook.
Will this hurt Harry? Of course not. He and other Democrats will still get a large share of the Hispanic vote, especially after stringing them along with the Arizona lawsuit and the denunciations of enforcing our immigration laws. However, Harry's comment is a good window into Dem thinking.
