The movie trailer for This Is Machete appears to incite violence against Arizona officials for supporting the enforcement of immigration laws and securing of the border.

That trailer is bizarre. If it didn’t include so many well-known actors, I would have assumed it was satire. It most definitely appears to endorse/encourage illegals to take up arms to fight for their “right” to cross the border. Scary.

If I were an Arizona LEO, I’d be plenty peeved about Hollywood’s irresponsibility in manufacturing and marketing such garbage.

Do we have to play Cowboys v. Mexicans again? The need is to focus on playing Cowboys and Barbary Pirates again.

Well, I now have a whole slew of actors to add to my boycott list. It's a shame to see DeNiro, Cheech and Don Johnson have thrown their sombreros in with the illegal, criminal, diseased, scumbag aliens. The rest either don't surprise me, or I just don't give a sh** about.

As for Hollyweird, Robert Rodriguez, Los(ers) Suns, and all the rest of the illegal scumbag alien lovers, I say bring it on, a**holes...I'm ready for a fight.

Wow, there are A LOT of big names in that movie. The law was just passed a few weeks back, this movie appears to be complete.

So unless they created a screenplay, cast, filmed and edited within a month, this had nothing to do with the Arizona law being passed. They are just hanging on the coat tails of the issue.

That “trailer” is ANCIENT! It’s a fake trailer Rodriguez did on the grindhouse movie. It’s several years old and has nothing to do with the new Arizona law. The trailer was so popular they decided to make a ovie out of it. They filmed it in Austin awhile back. I know because I was in the same hotel that Danny Trejo was and met him at the time.

Whoever cranked out this garbage does not understand people who are ethnically Mexican.

First and foremost, people who are ethnically Mexican are *not* monolithic, socially, culturally, or most definitely politically. For every radical leftist, there is a radical rightist, and by this I mean politically to the right of Jesse Helms, right.

The leftists have long thought that Mexico was ripe for “the revolution”, but a bunch of radicals that went from the US to Mexico in 1968, to radicalize the Olympics, ended up being buried by backhoe.

For a long time, despite Leon Trotsky living there, if you were a communist in Mexico, you life was in deep jeopardy. The PRI political party, which ruled for near on 50 years, was far closer to Spain’s Franco than to any variety of leftism. The only safe form of expression for the left was in wall murals and other art—as long as they didn’t overdo it.

The second thing about ethnic Mexicans is that they are still traumatized by their last revolution. Talk about overthrowing the elected government is as popular as getting your foot smashed by a hammer.

Right now, the cartel border violence is driving the typical Mexican into deep anxiety. They like ultraviolent movies as much as we do, but they absolutely abhor such things in real life.

And Mexicans and Mexican-Americans living in the US, for the most part do not want to make waves. It is the opposite from what they want, and they despise the violent Mexicans who want to screw it up for them.

After the Arizona bill was signed, it put a big wet blanket on any trouble.

This movie will make a lot of them cringe.

According to Fox News, this is the real thing. Movie to be released in September. Produced by 20th Century FOX-—owned by FOX-—you would think FOX news would have the skinny on it.

Reportedly, the introductory threat to Arizona was added for the Cinco de Mayo release.

This movie looks to be pure trash—an intent to incite some “racial jihad” crap. Instead of the FBI running around trying to put a bunch of hick “militia” guys in jail for just shooting off their mouths—talking big, maybe they ought to be camped out in Hollywood.

Alba, Lohan...c'mon, what did you expect from a couple of room-temperature IQ Hollyweird bimbos? They're actresses, not physicists. Neither probably got past their sophomore year in high school, and if they did, I'm sure they learned less than I had by fourth grade. Steven Segall? Not much better.

Yeah, I'd like to see the 'Tops make it back to the NCAA Tourney next year. Of course, if you cut me during basketball season, my blood runs UK blue.
