John and Ken show ^ | 5-3-06 | Doug from Upland

ORIGINAL THREAD

John and Ken have just read an email that was received by a KFI listener from KTTV. Apparently, KTTV has been bombarded with complaints about the racist comments made by newscaster Tony Valdez --- "You took this country. You killed people to take this country for yourselves."

According to the email, Valdez will apologize on his Sunday television show. In Los Angeles, it is at 9am on channel 11 following FOX NEWS SUNDAY.

After posting the number, I have a feeling that many FReepers made complaints. I left a message on Valdez's machine demanding an apology and made another three or four calls to the station.

According to the email, Valdez will apologize on his Sunday television show.

Any bets the apology is a non-apology, e.g. "I'm sorry if I offended anyone..."? Any bets? Anyone?

[A CA Guy]

What, they also listen to legal citizens now?

What is this country coming to?

[Cyclopean Squid]

Hail the memory of James K. Polk.

[Nachum]

I smell a rat.

[Draco]

If I recall my days in LA correctly, that 9 am Sunday morning show is a Latin interest/public affairs show. Comes on right after Fox News Sunday. He will non-apologize apologize. But the mask if off. And the patience of the peiple is up.

[nicmarlo]

It'll be a non-apology but no matter.

Glad so many let them know they're fed up with the rascist anti-American crap.

[Reaganesque]

So when the Conquistadores wiped out entire civilizations in their conquest of South and Central America, that was what, an act of kindness and tolerance? Flamin' hypocrite.

[ARA]

We need to keep the pressure up...

[sheana]

But don't you know that even that will just burn his behind. rofl

[roverman2K6]

get a clue bozo, quit apologizing for things we had no part in

[roverman2K6]

this is all just like the muzzies, he will sorta apologize for it in english just to save his job, then switch back to the hate in spanish

[Spiff]

I can hear it now: "To those who felt offended by my statements, I am sorry that you feel offended." Hell will freeze over before we hear, "I was wrong. I am sorry for saying what I said. I apologize."

[Buffettfan]

He may apologize but only to keep his high paying job. He is part of the insurrection against our country.

[freedumb2003]

LOL!!

I ws getting worried about Fox. Too bad GDLA comes on when everyone is at work (I am working from home these days).

Herrendo Revolver ran a diatribe at least as bad, including the lie that illegal supporters use about "paying 5 dollars for a grapefruit." In fact he used every lie in the MECHista playbook.

I complained but no answer. Probably not enough people saw it.

[pointsal]

Hmmmmmmm...odds are about 50:1 that Tony V. will not say anything that I will believe...

[doug from upland]

I think I'll call Salt Lake City tomorrow. He also owes the Mormons an apology.

[abigailsmybaby]

Ya know Doug, I don't care about an apology from this jacka$$. It isn't going to be a genuine apology anyway, so what's the point?

He did us a favor by shooting his mouth off. He's another reconquista, anti-American enemy within that we now know about. It's good to know where all our enemies are.

[doug from upland]

Indeed, I don't think it will be genuine. It is a good thing that he has been outed.

[Skel]

You remember correctly. It is billed as a current affairs program for the Los Ageles area. It doesn't state that there is a Latin focus but those of us here know better. Hosted and produced by Tony Valdez. Ugh.

[BitDrifter]

I e-mailed fox 11. Glad to hear he is to appologize but I would have perfered a firing.

[river rat]

Screw apologies from these leftist, America hating sonsuvbitches...

Legalize Dueling and the problem will self correct..

Then, when insulted, slandered or libeled -- one could insist on a REAL and CONVINCING PUBLIC apology or face the consequences of being called into the street and having his ass wasted....

As it it -- there is no satisfactory consequence for the outrageous behavior of the assholes who currently survive at a rate inconsistent with "sustainability of our Republic"..

Semper Fi

[Reaganesque]

get a clue bozo...

;-)

[Arizona Carolyn]

Doug, does KTTV really believe anyone will believe an appology after the statement he made? A White person would have been fired for those statements.

[RandallFlagg]

What, they also listen to legal citizens now?

What is this country coming to?

We're DOOOMED!!!!

[Reaganesque]

Why does he owe the Mormons an apology? I don't know the whole story here, apparently.

[A CA Guy]

What time does Cardinal Mahoney come on after Tony to apologize for all his cr@p on May 1st?

[Billthedrill]

I'm sorry, but I think the line "You killed people to take this country for yourselves." coming from a guy named Valdez is one of the most unintentionally hilarious lines I've heard in a long time. Tell it to the Aztecs, Tony.

[A CA Guy]

Tony made a comment about some Mormon troops that suggested they killed Mexicans, but they are known historically to never kill anyone.

Tony was just being a La Raza racist.

[RandallFlagg]

Well personally, the invader's supporters apologies matter very little to me.
If they want to truly make ammends to the citizens, they should start by obeying our laws to the letter.
This media jackass is just doing what the entire media has been trying to do since this began to flare up: Make it a RACIAL ISSUE.

[RandallFlagg]

A White person would have been fired for those statements.

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!
We have a WINNER!!

[Reaganesque]

Oh brother! Good thing he doesn't know about the Mormon colonies in Mexico.

By the way, the Mormon did have one engagement during the Mexican War. It was with a herd of wild bulls. One man was gored in the leg and sixty to eighty bulls were killed. Perhaps this is what Mr. Valdez was talking about?

[La Enchiladita]

Does anyone remember the white baseball player a few years ago who said something about (ethnic) Mets fans, I think, and had to apologize abjectly over and over?.. pretty much finished his career as I recall.

This will be hardly a blip on the screen for Valdez... trust me.

[A CA Guy]

For Tony who talks like a racist, I think it is a racial issue.

[RandallFlagg]

The guy's name is on the tip of my tongue.

I remember him, though. Apparently, whites are the only folks who can be racists.

[La Enchiladita]

He was among the last of the ballplayers who had "personality," an important ingredient of the great American pastime, IMO.

John... somebody....

Relief pitcher?

[RandallFlagg]

I'm one of those weird fellas who's not really into sports. Sorry.

"John," does sound familiar, though. I'll do a FR search. It's gotta be here.

[RandallFlagg]

John Rocker.

[La Enchiladita]

YESSS!!!!

How did you do that?

[La Enchiladita]

From wikipedia:

Speaking of New York City, [John] Rocker told Sports Illustrated in January 2000: "It's the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark, looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing."

[doug from upland]

He claimed that there was a monument to the Mormon Brigade who were heroes for killing lots of Mexicans. I didn't know that the Mormon Brigade had killed anyone. Can someone help enlighten us?

[doug from upland]

I remember John Rocker well. They drove him out of baseball.

[RandallFlagg]

I used to take on lefties all the time on other boards; nuking their arguments with the facts I found in the FR search engine.

I had to quit because it was so addicting.

[Reaganesque]

See post #33. They did some killing. Wild bulls. Now, unless they had Mexican citizenship, this putz has no beef.

Mormons were (are) well known in Mexico and had good relations with the government. There were a few colonies of Mormon settlers who moved there at the behest of church leaders. Pancho Villa respected them sufficiently that when he invaded the US, instead of taking the direct route through the Mormon colonies, he marched around them. All but two of the colonies were forced to close in 1912 but the two remaining colonies still exist. Mr. Valdez is full of it.

[La Enchiladita]

Yep, and I predict Tony Baloney Valdez will suffer a mere scratch, if that.

For saying something far worse.

[Dustbunny]

Valdez will apologize

No apology is sufficient. He needs to be fired and black balled.

[EDINVA]

"I'm sorry if I offended anyone..."

no, no, no ... that's taking way too much responsibility. It's "I'm sorry if anyone was offended!"

[doug from upland]

Okay. I'm going to call the LDS in Salt Lake and try to raise a little trouble.

[fantom]

Yes i think you are right. But he has been outed. Every time we can document this type of crap , we must make it public. Hubris and arrogance breeds stupidity. La Raza means what ?
