EDITORIAL: Obama's race-baiting--Democrats use fear-mongering to radicalize the Hispanic vote

President Obama has been denouncing Republicans who purportedly "exploited for political purposes" the issue of illegal immigration. He also has denigrated Arizona's new illegal-alien law for threatening "to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans." All this overheated rhetoric exposes Mr. Obama as the one who is cynically manipulating racial tensions for political purposes.

Mr. Obama's Wednesday address in Ottumwa, Iowa, showed how the president is fanning the flames of ethnic discord. "This law that just passed in Arizona ... you can try to make it really tough on people who look like they 'might be illegal immigrants,' " Mr. Obama thundered. "One of the things that the law says is local officials are allowed to ask somebody who they have a suspicion might be an illegal immigrant for their papers. But you can imagine, if you are a Hispanic American in Arizona - your great-grandparents may have been there before Arizona was even a state. But now, suddenly, if you don't have your papers and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you're going to be harassed."

Seems Obama has learned well from race hustlers Sharpton and Jackson.

[Typical_Whitey]

Law enforcement are the only ones that have authority to carry out the law so Obama is basically saying we have a bunch of racist cops in America... That has been a typical Leftist talking point for quite sometime.

He really did pay attention to Wrights sermons so it seems.

[PALIN SMITH]

Obama is unpure scum!!!

I never imagined witnessing a president disgrace his oath of office....in public.

The Declaration of Independence spells out the right of the people to split from a government that will not enforce the laws of the land.

A president's oath is a sacred trust. Obama fails every test in trust and allegiance to America.

I believe the Democtats will remove him in 2012 if not sooner. It can get a whole lot worse for them....a whole lot worse!!!!!

Inciting hatred and class warfare is what community organizers do.

It’s also a form a terrorism. IMO.

The constant threat of minority unrest and subsequent rioting and destruction is not much different than al qaida posting internet videos of hooded muslims hacking off a journalists head.

It’s meant to intimidate, pure and simple.

[Regulator]

And while we're on the subject of "race", what race is the King of Spain?

I mean, isn't he the King of the Hispanics by definition??

LOL

The King of Spain is eligible for Affirmative Action in the Junited Estates since he's um, a "victim"!!

Ha ha ha ha ha what insanity

[McGavin999]

Of course he’s race baiting. That’s what a community organizer does. He can never get away from his roots.

[RWGinger]

I do not understand why no one points out ALL AZ is doing is enforcing the Federal Law. ICE uses that law everydayt
and Indeed there are many state and local law enforcement agencies who use the Federal law. These agencies cooperate with ISE under the ICE program 287g
Obama and all who are using this to whip up the Hispanics who many not know there is a Federal law know ICE already does this

Darn I hate Dems who demaogogue this

[jazusamo]

Well said...Community organizer is no different than union organizer, both are thugs.

[jazusamo]

You nailed it, the AZ law is no different than federal law.

Americans DEMAND an investigation of any pol who comes out in favor of amnesty, and against the Arizona law. We need to determine the legitimacy of these elections.

Elected officials and candidaters who rigged elections could be subject to prosecution if they knowingly organized illegals with several identities to fraudulently obtain public office.

========================================

FOR EXAMPLE How did Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) Congressman Raul Grijalva (D-Arizona) get elected?

DID THESE CANDIDATES KNOWINGLY ORGANIZE NON-CITIZENS TO FRAUDULENTLY VOTE FOR THEM? DID THESE CANDIDATES COLLUDE WITH NON-CITIZENS TO RIG ELECTIONS USING FAKE IDENTITIES?

====================================

FBI TIP PAGE http://tips.fbi.gov/ (you remain anonymous)

The names of these and other elected officials who use their office to rig elections should be given to the FBI, together with the following information:

2 Texans accused of planning to sell counterfeit IDs

NORTH BERGEN -- (AP) 07/21/06---The Pelcastre brothers were a walking threat to national security -- expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, authorities said Thursday. When police stumbled across the pair, the men had turned a Tonnelle Avenue hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local identity broker, authorities said.

The brothers, Angel, 31, and Jorge, 34, both of Dallas, were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of government documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses for any state in the country , including passports and resident alien cards, said state police Capt. Al Della Fave. "Can you imagine if a terrorist were able to get their hands on this stuff?" Della Fave said. "They'd have free passage throughout the country."

A task force including state troopers and officers from both the Bergen and Hudson county prosecutors' offices happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in the parking lot of the hotel Wednesday morning. Authorities wouldn't identify the hotel by name for fear it could hinder cooperation from other hotels in future investigations or spark retribution.

The Corporate Outreach Task Force, formerly the Hotel Motel Drug Interdiction Task Force, regularly runs checks on motor vehicles in area motels. Members of the task force began watching the cars, a Chevrolet Impala and a Pontiac Firebird, and followed the brothers to an office supply store in a nearby shopping center, where the men purchased computer supplies, said state police Sgt. Stephen Jones.

Officers then followed the brothers to a self-storage facility in Secaucus, where they loaded several boxes from a storage unit into one of the cars, Jones said. One of the men stood lookout, which heightened police suspicion, he said. Authorities approached the men when they returned to the hotel and questioned them separately, Jones said. The brothers consented to a search of their cars, hotel room and the storage facility, he said.

Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs, Jones said.

All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street, Della Fave said. Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a fake document broker for a shipment of 500 Social Security cards, Della Fave said.

"They were aggressively selling to brokers," he said. "This isn't like selling driver's licenses to individuals. These were multiple layers of high-level documents."

The brothers were being held without bail Thursday at the Hudson County Jail on charges of possessing fraudulent documents and conspiracy to sell fraudulent documents. Federal charges are also pending against them, said state police Detective Sgt. Cesar Huaman, a member of the task force.

“I do not understand why no one points out ALL AZ is doing is enforcing the Federal Law. “

J.D. Hayworth did just that this morning on Face the Nation, CBS.

Ariz. Immigration Divides Hayworth and Gutierrez

Rep. Luis Guiterrez and Arizona Senate Candidate J.D. Hayworth at Odds Over Dealing With Illegal Immigration

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/05/02/ftn/main6453414.shtml?tag=contentBody;featuredPost-PE

[snip]
“I would suggest that the law here in Arizona is designed quite simply to enforce federal law,” said Hayworth. “I think what has been going on here has been a massive disinformation campaign and distortion.”

Hayworth read directly from the Arizona law: “The law ‘shall be implemented in a matter consistent with federal laws regulating immigration, protecting the civil rights of all persons, and respecting the privileges and immunities of United States citizens.’”

Hayworth then asked a question of Gutierrez. “Do you think illegal aliens have done anything wrong by being in this country without authorization?”

“Obama’s race-baiting—Democrats use fear-mongering to radicalize the Hispanic vote”

Hasn't the Hispanic vote been radicalized long ago already?
After all, the Hispanics voted overwhelmingly for by far the most left wing, Marxist candidate this country has ever seen, 0bama. How much more “radicalized” can they get?
Meanwhile, illegal immigration is going to energize conservatives more than ever, to come out and CRSUH 0bozo and the Democrats in November. We'll see who has the stronger numbers and most energized voters in November won't we?

[jazusamo]

Thanks for posting J.D. Hayworth’s appearance this morning, AuntB, I was unaware of it.

[jazusamo]

Agreed...Every day this goes on energizes conservatives as well as converts more to conservatism.

[dr_who]

Yup, time for some more church-burning hysteria. Lather, rinse, repeat...

[FormerACLUmember]

Pure Marxist/Obama/Alinsky Rules for Radicals propaganda.

We have seen it a hundred times now.

Know your enemy. And make no mistake, Obama is the Enemy of America and The Destroyer of the USA.

He's French. The Spanish Bourbons are descended from a grandson of King Louis XIV of France, thanks to the outcome of the War of the Spanish Succession. The Bourbons are a younger branch of the Capetian family, so barring any possible cases in the famkily tree of a boy not being the biological son of his putative father, his line goes back to Hugh Capet, who became King of France in 987 after the Carolingian line died out.

King Juan Carlos is descended from Isabella II, a daughter of King Ferdinand VII, but she married her double first cousin who was also a Bourbon.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Let’s see... is it race-baiting?

What if some Republican leader made a plea “to all you white folks, elderly, Christian coalition-types, bitter clingers, abortion-haters... mobilize and get all of your neighbors (as longs as they look like you) involved in the upcoming election. We need our old coalition (you know: the old southern strategy) to get active and save this mid-term election for us!” How would the MSM treat that little plea? That’s basically what Obama said to the base of the Dem/Socialist/Communist Party.

[jazusamo]

You’re right, if a Repub leader came out and said something even close to what Obama has said the enemedia would go absolutely ballistic. Of course the enemedia is the reason Zer0 sits in the WH now.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Just as they were yukking it up together at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night. Obama doing stand-up: now THAT’S perfect!
