Who Agrees (More) With Tom Tancredo?

[2]Jane Norton, who has recently played the I'm-tougher-than-President-Obama-on-terrorism [3] card, says she agrees with statements made by former Congressman Tom Tancredo (pictured) during a rally last week for her opponent in the Republican primary race for U.S. Senate, Ken Buck. While Buck quickly distanced himself [4] from Tancredo's view that the Obama administration is the greatest threat to the United States (even bigger than al-Qaida), Norton has been quick to jump on the Tancredo bandwagon, ostensibly to score some political points. Norton writes on her Facebook page: "There was a real measure of truth to what Tancredo said. Obama is spending this country into bankruptcy. Admiral Mullen said our debt is a greater threat than terrorism. It's time to end the culture of political correctness" (via The Huffington Post [5]). Further explaining his position on Tancredo's comments, Buck told attendees of the Western Conservative Summit over the weekend "there is a lot of truth in what Tom Tancredo said" (via The Colorado Independent [6]). Norton and Buck are "in an often-bitter fight to win the August 10 primary," writes the Colorado Springs Gazette [7].
