Thread: Tancredo Gets Second Invitation For Maimi Speech

In this mornings Miami Herald their was an article about another Rotary Club in Miami Beach inviting Tancero to come and speak there. It may be held at the Miami Beach Convention Center and they will charge admission. They will also have speakers with opposing views present. I will make a formal posting once I find it on line as it is not on the Miami Herald Website at this time.

There have also been numerous letters to the Editor regarding the cancellation of his last speaking engagement. Most people were disguisted that it was cancelled and commented on how the Hispanic people proved Tancero's comments are correct.

I read this in The Drudge Report today and was tickled that someone had the decency to ask him to speak after the stupid resturant barrng him from speaking there. Does anyone else see how more and more freedom of speech only applies to liberals and their agendas?

Hey folks!

Where is the article? I read it earlier today on Drudge but when I clicked here there is no copy of the article for us to load on the homepage.

Miami reinvites Tancredo
2nd Rotary Club offers lawmaker a forum after "Third World" remark

Washington - U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo may soon have another opportunity to give a speech in the Miami area after an earlier talk was called off.

A small Rotary Club in Miami Beach on Friday invited the Republican congressman from Littleton, saying it wanted to give him a forum for his views.

"Let the fireworks begin," said Steven Shulman, who arranges speakers for the 23-member Rotary Club of Miami Beach.

Tancredo caused an uproar in Florida last month when he said Miami resembles a "Third World country."

Miami's Rotary Club, a different chapter, had invited him to speak Thursday, but the restaurant where Tancredo was to have appeared canceled the talk, saying his controversial appearance wouldn't be a good fit with a number of holiday parties that day.

Tancredo is interested in taking the Miami Beach chapter up on its offer if a time and place can be arranged, said his spokesman, Carlos Espinosa.

Tancredo made the Third World country remark a month ago in an interview while at a conservative conference in Palm Beach, Fla. Tancredo said he was referring to Miami's crime, low high school graduation rates and abundance of people who speak mainly Spanish.

Meanwhile, Tancredo issued a statement Friday challenging Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to post the speech Tancredo had planned to give Thursday on the governor's website.

The speech already has been posted on Tancredo's website, tancredo.house.gov/.

"I would like to give him the opportunity to show everyone just how much he truly supports the free exchange of ideas," Tancredo said.

Tancredo's statement comes in response to Gov. Bush telling the Miami Herald a visit by Tancredo "would have afforded him the opportunity to enjoy the city's many attributes and ... would have started a worthwhile dialogue on Florida's rich heritage and cultures."

Shortly after Tancredo made his Third World remark last month, Bush said of him, "What a nut."

The smaller Rotary Club extending the latest invitation to Tancredo said it isn't worried about the potential circus that he might draw.

"What the congressman has to say is worthwhile, whether you disagree with it or agree with it," said Bill Coffman, Rotary Club of Miami Beach president.

Coffman's group still needs to find a location for the speech, but was considering the city's convention center. The group would sell tickets to cover the cost, Coffman said. There could also be speakers who disagree with Tancredo on the program.

2nd group invites Tancredo to speak
A Colorado congressman who described Miami as a 'Third World country' will get a second chance to speak in South Florida after the first was canceled.

U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo may soon have another opportunity to give a speech in the Miami area after an earlier talk was called off.

A small Rotary Club in Miami Beach on Friday invited the Republican congressman from Littleton, Colo., saying it wanted to give him a forum for his views.

''Let the fireworks begin,'' said Steven Shulman, who arranges speakers for the 23-member Rotary Club of Miami Beach.

Tancredo caused an uproar in Florida last month when he said Miami resembles a ``Third World country.''

Miami's Rotary Club, a different chapter, had invited him to speak Thursday at the Rusty Pelican Restaurant, but the restaurant canceled the talk, reporting a flood of complaints.

Tancredo is interested in taking the Miami Beach chapter up on its offer if a time and place can be arranged, said his spokesman, Carlos Espinosa.

Tancredo made the Third World country remark a month ago in an interview while at a conservative conference in Palm Beach.

Tancredo said that he was referring to Miami's crime, low high school graduation rates and abundance of people who speak mainly Spanish.

Meanwhile Friday, Tancredo challenged Gov. Jeb Bush to post his scrapped speech on a gubernatorial website. The talk had been titled ``Renewing America: The Need for Assimilation.''

The governor's office declined to comment. The speech already has been posted on Tancredo's website, tancredo.house.gov/.

Tancredo's statement comes in response to Gov. Bush telling The Miami Herald that a visit by Tancredo ''would have afforded him the opportunity to enjoy the city's many attributes and . . . would have started a worthwhile dialogue on Florida's rich heritage and cultures.'' The smaller Rotary Club extending the latest invitation to Tancredo said it isn't worried about the potential circus that he might draw.

''What the congressman has to say is worthwhile, whether you disagree with it or agree with it,'' said Bill Coffman, Rotary Club of Miami Beach president.

Coffman's group still needs to find a location for the speech, but was considering the Miami Beach Convention Center. The group would sell tickets to cover the cost, Coffman said. There could also be dissenting speakers on the program.
