    (CNN) - A tweet that borrowed a line from a Washington Post opinion writer landed President Barack Obama's campaign manager in a Republican hot fryer Wednesday.

    Jim Messina quoted the Washington Post's Dana Milbank directly via his twitter account.

    "Line of the day from WAPO's Dana Milbank: "The chimichanga? It may be the only thing Republicans have left to offer Latinos."

    Milbank ended his Wednesday column that analyzed the Republican Party's treatment of the Latino voting bloc with the line. He borrowed the reference from Sen. John McCain, who he quoted earlier in the story.

    "Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) spoke about the wonders of his state. 'The lettuce in your salad this month almost certainly came from Arizona,' McCain said. 'It's also believed that the chimichanga has its origin in Arizona,'" the piece read.

    But Republicans quickly turned up the heat on the Messina tweet, arguing it was insensitive.

    Jennifer Sevilla Korn, executive director of the conservative Hispanic Leadership Network accused Democrats of "name calling."

    "The fact that the campaign manager of President Obama's reelection campaign thinks it's appropriate to disseminate insulting jokes about the Hispanic community is a perfect example of the kind of empty rhetoric that characterizes this White House's so-called outreach to Latinos," Sevilla wrote in a statement. "We demand that Mr. Messina immediately apologize and we ask that President Obama disavow his campaign manager's ridiculous statement."

    Racism has turned its ugly head once again with Barry's crew. Most people have accepted Barry is a racist so it should not surprise anyone his manager is one. One must find inner peace from within in order to combat these terrible feelings one has with others. It will only cause guilt and heartache. I forgive Barry and his racist followers but he shall not receive my vote.

    God bless.

    There's nothing wrong with it. It is just another petty complaint from the GOP..

    The Repugs are the party of bigots, racists, xenophobes, nativists.

    You Repugs can deny it, but denying the truth and lying is what y'all do best.

    I hate the race card, no matter who plays it.

    This reminds me of when Don Griese got in trouble with ESPN because he said a Columbian NASCAR driver was "out having a taco".

    The most racist part of stories like this is usually how privileged white pundits (of both R and D persuasion) sit around and make a big deal of it, as though us Latinos are incapable of context or humor.
