Dean: Bush "doesn't have the guts" to oppose "bigots in his own party"
snip>
Republicans tried to scare people in 2002 by talking about "race quotas" instead of affirmative action and tried to scare people in 2004 by putting ballot initiatives to ban gay marriage in several states, he said.

"In 2006, it's going to immigrants, you wait and see," he told the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic civil rights organization, at its annual convention.

After the speech, Dean told reporters that he didn't think President Bush was a bigot, but that he "doesn't have the guts" to speak up against "the bigots in his own party."
.....
Dean specifically mentioned legislation introduced Monday by Rep. Tom Tancredo, a Colorado Republican who has become an outspoken critic of illegal immigration.

The bill would.....reimburse hospitals for treating illegal immigrants if they report citizenship information to the government....

2. Bush is a racist himself
That's the reason he has Condasleeza Rice as his token black; Alberto Gonzalez as his token Hispanic; and Karl Rove as his token queer :evilgrin:
