Mayor Julian Castro of San Antonio, who will be giving the keynote address tonight, is, according to some, the next Obama. But while Obama’s radicalism may have escaped the notice of the DNC in 2004, Castro’s views are bit more transparent.
Indeed, he, along with his twin, Joaquin, currently running for Congress, learned their politics on their mother’s knee and in the streets of San Antonio. Their mother, Rosie helped found a radical, anti-white, socialist Chicano party called La Raza Unida (literally “The Race United”) that sought to create a separate country—Aztlan—in the Southwest.

Rising democrat stars, the radical twins, Julian (DNC keynote speaker last night) and Joaquin, were spawned by a radical mother, another anti-American community organizer, Rosie Castro:

Gutierrez made clear his hatred for “the gringo” when he led the Mexican-American Youth Organization, the precursor to La Raza Unida. According to the Houston Chronicle, he “was denounced by many elected officials as militant and un-American.” And anti-American he was. “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to worst, we have got to kill him,” Gutierrez told a San Antonio audience in 1969.
At around that time, Rosie Castro eagerly joined his cause, becoming the first chairwoman of the Bexar County Raza Unida Party. There’s no evidence of her distancing herself from Gutierrez’s comments, even today. Gutierrez even dedicated a chapter in one of his books to Ms. Castro.

Meet the Next Obama
Controversial, inept mayor Julian Castro headlines first night of DNC
Excerpt:
Additionally, San Antonio’s unemployment rate has increased from 7.2 percent to 7.3 percent during Castro’s time in office, and has reportedly reached as high as 8.1 percent.
Apart from his lack of mayoral achievement, Castro is also the son of a left-wing radical.
His mother, Rosie Castro, was a leader of the La Raza Unida movement to promote “Chicano identity.” She was described by the New York Times as a “’70s firebrand.’”
For example, Rosie Castro once said that “the ‘heroes’ of the Alamo were a bunch of drunks and crooks and slaveholding imperialists” and that “I hate that place and everything it stands for.”
Julian Castro hung a La Raza campaign poster in his office as one of his first acts as mayor, according to the New York Times.
Castro’s political success can be attributed, in part, to the help of a scandal-ridden Democratic benefactor.
Obama supporter and controversial San Antonio lawyer Mikal Watts held a fundraising event for Castro in 2009.
Castro “referred a wrongful-death lawsuit to Watts’ San Antonio law firm,” according to a San Antonio political gossip blog, and “collected a sizeable fee after the case was settled.”
Castro’s dealings with Watts drew criticism from Castro’s political opponents when Castro allegedly loaned his mayoral campaign a $215,000 portion of the “sizeable fee.”
Castro has close ties to Barack Obama. He is a frequent guest at the White House and has attended several Obama events—he even sat in First Lady Michelle Obama’s box at the 2012 State of the Union address. Castro has also participated in Obama campaign conference calls, according to National Review.

So the boys hate white, American gringos. Now, I can see why they are “rising stars” in the DemocRAT Party.
Looks gay as all get-out.
The last time I saw some leftist crank described and treated as any “rising star” at a democrat convention it was Obama himself. These Castro dudes are and will be trouble, big trouble.
Yep. None of this is an accident. Castro has been touted for a national role for a while now among the looney left.
This stooge or another Hispanic like him will be with obama on the dim ticket in 2016 or 2020 if the kenyan loses in November.
Oh joy....more Marxist radicals ascending the democrat throne. Just what this country needs......NOT.
Thanks STARWISE.
No surprise that a liberal Dem Hispano-Racist would have ties to the Hispanic Ku Klux Klan...La Raza
Sad part is that we have a number of GOP who support many of the same racist theories (especially Illegal Alien Amnesty) as Castro and his family do.
He’s a grey liberal mix android.
Almost Castro/Osama.
