Bustamante Defends Racist Group
| With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff |
Friday, Aug. 29, 2003
California gubernatorial candidate Cruz Bustamante is not only refusing to repudiate the radical "bronze" supremacist organization MEChA, he's defending it.
"The students who are in MEChA today are just like the students when I was there. Pretty much they are trying to get an education," the Democrat lieutenant governor insisted Thursday.
"For me and many, many others, we were running for student government," he said. "That is how I got here today."
Previously his campign told NewsMax.com that his ties to MEChA were a "non-issue" that nonetheless should be addressed.

Official Language OK for Mexico, but ...
Meanwhile, Latino activists who don't object to Mexico having Spanish as its official language say GOP candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger should quit the advisory board of U.S. English, a group that wants to make English the official language of the United States.
"We are tremendously disturbed by Schwarzenegger's continued tenure as a board member of U.S. English, an organization that has strongly advocated for English only and for Proposition 227, which severely limited bilingual education," said Hector Flores, national president of League of United Latin American Citizens, despite the dismal failure of bilingual ed in America.
Schwarzenegger's spokesman Sean Walsh said the actor agreed with efforts to make English the official language.
"Arnold Schwarzenegger came to this country with a few dollars in his pocket and not speaking the English language, and he realized the importance of learning to speak English as quickly as possible to achieve your American dreams," Walsh said.
'Outrageous Things'
Bustamante is not the only candidate being dogged by his past. Schwarzenegger told reporters he had "no memory" of a 1977 interview for the now-defunct Oui magazine in which he was quoted as boasting about group sex and drug abuse.
"I don't know what you are talking about," he said in Fresno when asked about the article. "I'm here to push my economic agenda. I'm here to listen to people. I'm here to have a rally. ... I have no memory of an interview I did 20 or 30 years ago."
Asked about the article during a radio show Wednesday, he replied that he often said "ludicrous" and "outrageous" things.
Rob Stutzman, a spokesman, said Schwarzenegger had said outrageous things in his past, but the "public understands those are decades old."

Bustamante's Campaign: Ties to Racist Group Are 'Non-issue' by Carl Limbacher
Last week we reported about California gubernatorial candidate Cruz Bustamante's ties to the racist Latino organization MEChA. His campaign today told NewsMax this was a "non-issue" that nevertheless should be addressed.
We asked Scott Arjun of Committee to Elect Cruz Bustamante why his boss has not publicly denounced the radical doctrines of the nationwide movement, which calls for the annexation to Mexico of the entire southwestern United States from Texas to California and from the Mexican border to the Canadian border.
Arjun disclosed that he had just fielded 15 calls on the same issue from various media. Consequently, he said, "I advised them [the committee] this morning to address the concern.”
"Why hasn’t it been laid to rest before?” asked NewsMax.
"It’s more of a non-issue. The lieutenant governor, of course, does not believe in this annexation thing,” advised Ajun.
"Did the committee take your advice to see to it that the candidate clarifies his position?” asked NewsMax.
"I think they are going to address it,” responded Ajun. "You’ve got to understand that I’ve seen this guy in action – his Committee for One California, for instance. His emphasis is in bringing Californians together.”
More About MEChA
Meanwhile, here are more startling facts about the "bronze" supremacist group, which seeks to bring together only those of the correct skin color and ethnic background. According to California Coalition for Immigration Reform:
Support From Clinton
Dolores Huerta of United Farm Workers said at the conference: "We need a Chicano Bill of Rights! President Clinton spoke with me face to face and he said he'll do away with the art of the new welfare reform bill that takes away welfare and food stamps from legal immigrants. You students can join us, and we'll train you to be organizers."
Cal State Northridge professor Rudy Acuna, adviser to MEChA and self-described socialist, said at the conference: "You are living in Nazi U.S. We can't let them take us to those intellectual ovens."
Not the Most Radical Racist
California Coalition for Immigration Reform notes that Bustamante says he "wasn’t the most radical Mechista" at Fresno State University. It adds, "As its critics might argue, to say you were not 'the most radical Mechista' is a bit like saying you were not 'the most radical Nazi.' Just to have been a Nazi, however 'moderate,' is radical, socialist and evil enough to warrant condemnation.
"Like Nazism, MEChA has acquired more than a tinge of racism. In their tactics to advance Latinos and 'La Raza,' many of its activists have directed racist attacks against not only white-skinned Anglos but also against blacks, Asian-Americans and Jews – in fact, against every non-Latino group."
The coalition says: "Again, Bustamante has refused to distance himself in any way from MEChA and its desire to return Aztlan to Mexico. Does he see himself running to become governor of one of the United States – or of the regained Mexican state of Alta California, as the Spanish called the upper counterpart to Baja California in Mexico? This is something he should be asked about by voters and the press at every public appearance."

Editor's note:
I first heard this from a hispanic guy who was raised in a poor but patriotic family --- his father warned him never to get near these people. Moderate and pro-America hispanics didn't join these race groups, Bustamante isn't moderate or pro-America. Just like his use of the "n" word shows ---- he is pure racist.
No - but they're the first generation dupes --- being sent over by their government as part of a reconquista plan. It's their offspring who have more power in the USA and will do the real dirty work.
‘Recuperará México territorios perdidos’ (Mexico will retake the lost territories)
In the Mexican newspapers yesterday --- and yes Cruz Bustamante is mentioned. So are the immigrants who are being used to get the Mexican population up to very high levels to accomplish this goal of reconquest.
MECHA is the lower class expression of the feelings of left-wing Euro-type Latin American intellectuals, who of course would not want any of these rough types in their drawing rooms, since they picture themselves very much as European intellectuals, and these MECHA guys tend to be very anti-european,(and anti-American) except when it comes to blonde girls.
I too have run into the ignorant bastards in California, and IMHO, they are truculent indeed. Bustamante, whom I do not discount as the potential winner in this mess, is a very big step on the way to Aztlan's (Northern Occupied Mexico)eventual attempt at confederation with Mexico.
Because of governmental malfeasance, and political correctness, California could well be the Kosovo of the year 2075. It is not good that Bustamante does not disavow them.
I hope the DOJ is keeping a close watch on vote fraud in California. They have to do the same thing there that they did in Maryland and Missouri.
After six years of TBE one student wrote: "I my parens per mi in dis shool en I so I feol essayrin too old in the shool my border o reri can gier das mony putni gire and I sisairin aliro sceer." This is incomprehensible in either Spanish or English.
The first time I read this, I laughed out loud. It's great comedy.
Unfortunately, these are real people who are affected :-(.
