Aye, yi ya yi, I am the Frito Bandito....
Free speech for me but not for thee.
It’s the La Raza gang promoting this farce.
Socialist turd worlders don’t understand freedom.
I’d like to report on hate speech in the US based spanish language tv channels except unlike the english counterparts, there is no “bilingual secondary audio program SAP” channel I can toggle on my receiver to hear it translated into my tongue.
Can I just bring up the racist diatribes of Ask A Mexican? Or does syndicated print media in the US not count?
Excellent.

Question authority. Including the authority of those presenting challenges to “authority”.
NHMC is a non-profit, media advocacy organization established in 1986 in Los Angeles, California.
The organization has grown to have statewide chapters in Sacramento, San Jose and San Diego, CA; New York, NY; Chicago, IL; Phoenix, AZ; Atlanta, GA; and Detroit, MI.
Our mission is to:
1) improve the image of American Latinos as portrayed by the media;
2) increase the number of American Latinos employed in all facets of the media industry;
3) advocate for media and telecommunications policies that benefit the Latino community.
As the Secretariat for the National Latino Media Council (NLMC), an umbrella of 16 of the largest national Latino organizations, NHMC executes NLMC’s national strategy on media advocacy as it relates to Latinos.
NHMC’s work is critical to the Hispanic community because there is no Hispanic organization at the national level advocating for an end to media bias against Latinos. Unless we end this bias against Latinos, the present generation of Hispanic youth will grow up viewing largely negative images of themselves and they will develop poor self-esteem. NHMC believes that in order for the media to present a fair portrayal of the Latino community, that Latinos must be employed at all levels of the media with special emphasis on news anchor and policy making positions.
The National Hispanic Media Coalition is a member of the following organizations:
The National Latino Media Council – Secretariat
Media & Democracy Coalition – Executive Board of Directors
Minority Media & Telecommunications Council – Board of Directors
National Hispanic Leadership Agenda – Member
Public Interest Spectrum Coalition – Member
Wireless Innovation Alliance – Member

“when black doesn’t have to sit in back...”
“when brown... can stick around...”
“when the red man... can get ahead, man...”
“when white(y) will embrace what’s right...”
hmmm... hate speech?
second question, has this guy been hiding in a hole for 40 years?
Sounds like another racist Hate Group whining about “hate speech”
Calling illegal aliens “immigrants” is hate speech towards real immigrants....but I bet you wont hear a peep from this Hispano-Hate Group
I can think of a lot of slanders against Germans, but you dont see me running out and forming a Hate Group
They are probably upset with the controversy over the Ramos and Compean trial (Talk radio sided with 2 men, who although they are both hispanic, were described to Congress by OUR OWN GOVERNMENT, erroneously, as 2 men who were determined to “go shoot some Mexicans”), the discussion of illegal immigrants who are killing Americans in drunk driving incidents, and who knows what else.

After it is all said and done, the only opposition allowed will be RINO republicans who's strings are pulled by the democrats.
This will be an attempt by the Democrats to achieve near absolute power.
They also seek a quota on staffs/management.
This isn’t “the dream”.
Hate Radio’s Bigotry Against Hispanics
from the May 7, 2008 “Progress Report” section of the Center for American Progress Action Fund website (www.americanprogressaction.org)
The Center for American Progress Action Fund is headed by John D. Podesta, former chief of staff to President William J. Clinton
On Monday, hate radio king Rush Limbaugh appeared on Fox News for five minutes to discuss the presidential race and managed to make an offensive comment. Limbaugh called Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D), who is Hispanic, a “shoe shine guy.”
Yesterday, Alex Nogales, president of the National Hispanic Media Coalition, blasted Limbaugh for uttering “the same kind of nasty, bigoted, racist type comment that has become so prevalent in today’s society, as practiced by Lou Dobbs, as practiced by [Sean] Hannity, [Bill] O’Reilly, [Michael] Savage.” Racial slurs, particularly fueled against Hispanics, has found a home on right-wing radio, which claims 91 percent of radio airwaves.
The nation’s leading Hispanic advocacy group, National Council of La Raza, launched a campaign earlier this year decrying right-wing radio for its “rhetoric that demonizes immigrants and Hispanic Americans.” “Talk like Savage’s, or Limbaugh’s or O’Reilly’s, has become routine, even systematic, and certainly a big business.
According to the Senate Democratic Policy Committee, the top five radio station owners that control 45 powerful, 50,000-watt or more radio stations broadcast 310 hours of nationally syndicated right-wing talk. But they broadcast only a total of five hours of countervailing talk,” Salon reported. Yet these talkers are rarely held to account: For example, neither ABC, Time, nor Politico mentioned the offensive remarks when reporting on Limbaugh’s TV commentary this week.
Progressive radio host Mario Solis-Marich wrote Tuesday, “As a member of the largest minority ethnic group and a member of the media, I am continually puzzled and outraged by the idea that anyone can say anything about Latinos without fearing any consequence.”
And I insist that you be more like all the failed governments to the south; they have been so successful and if you don’t admit and it and teach it you are un gringo lleno de odio.
