Hispanic group aims to stop 'wave of hate'
The Washington Times ^ | July 22, 2007 | Stephen Dinan

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — The nation's largest Hispanic advocacy group says it must come up with a strategy to combat "a wave of hate" its leaders say came from talk radio's efforts to sink the Senate's immigration bill.

"That had an extraordinary impact in the Senate, and as a nation, I don't think we should be comfortable with the fact that the United States Senate responded to what was largely a wave of hate," Cecilia Munoz, the National Council of La Raza's senior vice president for research, advocacy and legislation, told The Washington Times after meeting with NCLR affiliates to talk about a new strategy.

Stung by the collapse of the immigration bill in the Senate last month, NCLR leaders and members at the group's annual convention in Miami Beach, which began yesterday, say they will have to start a campaign to register and mobilize voters, to warn against crossing the line in the debate and to force lawmakers to take a clear stand on what they are willing to tolerate.

"I think we have to shine a light on it," Ms. Munoz said. "At the end of the day, we believe people need to take sides, that you can't stand on the sidelines, especially if part of what is motivating the actions of the United States Congress is not really about the public-policy debate, but is about their discomfort with Latinos."

Precisely. For instance, why should Mexicans get priority over Filipinos? Filipinos are on average poorer, and the Phillippines was once a U.S. territory.

Typical Marxist dodge, stir up hate, and blame it the people who oppose you. Every time someone objects, call them a racist bigot. The left has been using the technique here since the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, and the Bush Administration has borrowed it to smash its conservative foundation. Just be sure to wave some US flags when you get into America’s face with your invasion.

People from an organization called “The Race” are going to combat racism? Nonsense.
As is their premise: those opposed to amnesty were not opposed to Mexicans. They WERE opposed to porous borders and to a mass amnesty plan that included no meaningful vetting and that would have legalized tens of thousands of foreign illegal criminals and potential terrorists.

What part of the word “ILLEGAL” do they not understand?

I'd ask that of the people on "our side" that don't seem to recognize the difference between "legal immigration" and "illegal immigration."

Number one, there’s no “hate” coming from talk radio—unless we’re talking about the disgust reserved for law-breakers and the government agencies and corporate offices that permit it, perpetuate it, and turn a blind eye to it.

Number two, Americans love immigrants so long as they observe the same laws it’s citizens must and are share in the traditions and exhibit the values that made her great.

Western Europe has already seen “honor killings” in their countries. That’s enough to tell me that their immigrant populations don’t give a fig for their laws and customs. Instead, as we saw in last year’s street protests in the US, there is a significant population that’s also here to prey on the goodwill and bounty of this country and they have no desire or intent to get right with the law or stand in good stead with the citizens.

Looks like they were successful where Jesse Jackson failed in getting all of those corporations to send in $$ out of guilt. Jesse, you blew it! Snicker snicker

The nation's largest Hispanic advocacy group says it must come up with a strategy to combat "a wave of hate"...

"...I don't think we should be comfortable with the fact that the United States Senate responded to what was largely a wave of hate," Cecilia Munoz, the National Council of La Raza's senior vice president for research, advocacy and legislation...

Cecilia, maybe your group should discuss the rule of law and why even Hispanics must be treated equally under the law. Stress the importance of obeying the law instead of detailing why you believe Hispanics are above the law.

The only difference I see between CAIR, La Raza and the KKK is race...actually I don’t see a difference.

I'm not sure about CAIR, but La Raza is tax payer funded to the tune of 10 million per year.

Hell the KKK doesn't receive government support nor advocate for the invasion of our country. In addition they also don't have a say in government policy and law making.

If anyone is guilty of spewing hate, that would be La Raza. I have seen no evidence at FR, on talk radio, or in “real life” of hatred against illegals. What I have seen is anger at our government for not protecting our sovereignty and a stronger resolve to fight this invasion.

Dear La Raza—form your own political party. That’d be the ultimate payback.

I wonder how many of those corporations would sponsor a Caucasian group called “The Race”? Also, it is interesting to see how many of their executive committee people are on the public payroll one way or another.

Being someone will beat me to post 33, Senator Robert Byrd.

.
“deport a few million citizens retroactively”

Yes, after the terrorist attack 9-11-2001, many should have been returned to their country of orgin until the war with Al Qadah is over.

The world is upside down, it’s surreal. I’ve never seen it like this in my lifetime. What do older freepers think?

Become legal, understand where the "hate" comes from, find a liberal "sucker" group to support you and then go to jail and insist that you can't eat unless the your menu is in Spanish.

See, it's easy.

Comprende'?
