WASHINGTON, (AP) -- A national Latino group said Thursday it is fighting back against what it considers to be "hate speech" that has emerged from the debate over immigration.
National Council of La Raza President Janet Murguia announced plans to pressure television network executives and candidates seeking their parties' presidential nominations to clamp down on such remarks.
The group launched a Web site to counter the speech, www.wecanstopthehate.org, with clips of what it considers offensive comments on television as well as a tracking of hate crimes.
"Hate groups and extremists have taken over the immigration debate in an unprecedented wave of hate," Murguia said. Although some comments could be considered free speech, "there is a line that sometimes can be crossed when it comes to free speech," she said.

But after they get their shills nominated by both parties. Piper will have to be paid before long.
Hey, can I have one of those?
Bunch of wusses. They are anti-American...they want to take away part of our soveriegn country...they have no allegiance to our nation or the principles upon which it rests. They are trying to use these liberal, useful-idiot, PC laws to get their way when what La Raza should get is the boot.
Feel free to copy it
The only hate speech comes from the left.
If we are such bad, hateful persons, why do these foreigners want to come here so badly?
LA RAZA - the name itself is hate speech.
I was about to post the same thing!
I work in Human Resources, and I see the First Amendment discarded in favor of political correctness ALL THE TIME. I get so angry I’ve become physically ill. Finally gave my retirement notice early this month ‘cause I can’t take it any more.
Hey, what a coincidence! C.A.I.R. is doing the same thing. They both must be represented by the same speech police at the ACLU.
Go, Constitution, Go!!!!!!!!
My fear is what will happen when the average Legal American Citizen stops talking and starts acting.
That’s awesome
They stand a much better chance of Their South “rising” again and fighting the battles of old than the so called Southern Pride “racists”.
“The Race”, indeed.
Apparently, they don’t like us criticizing Juan McCain.
These types of comments would be suppressed as "hate speech?"
20+ million foreign nationals physically entering our country against our laws is not an invasion?
The illegals do not have higher crime rates?
There is no concern about people with TB and other diseases who sneak into the country bypassing normal checkpoints?
There is no "reconquista" sentiment among any of these foreign nationals?
And these are not even legitimate matters for debate and discussion?
I hate La Raza! I hate illegals!
Am I in trouble now?
What do you fear might happen? Some of the most anti-illegal folks that I know are legal immigrants who have become naturalized citizens.
We should start www.wecanstoptheillegalaliens.com.
They're exploiting our weakness.
PC is weakness - and that makes us vulnerable to aggressive, acquisitive groups (i.e., "nations") who realize that it can be exploited.
So they simply walk into the country, plant their flag firmly, and anyone who criticizes gets called names. After which our own government goes berserk and does anything to silence those pointing out the obvious: that a foreign invasion is taking place.
Pretty amazing, huh? You can become the dominant political force in another country and end up taking its wealth and power (vote yourself your very own nuclear stockpile) simply by calling people names.
Viva La Raza indeed. Gotta give them credit for seeing the way.
But invasion is not a civil right, no matter how much they may insist that it is.
No more than hating the KKK or Aryan Nazis makes you a hater.
Please share it with everyone you know.
Free speech must be vigorous to remain free. If it’s too tough a concept for someone to accept they should select a different country and just go there as soon as possible.
No one is allowed to speak the truth.
It's part of the strategy to consummate the takeover.
Will Do!
The Mexican government provides aid to those trying to cross illegally and has used their military in some border crossings.
That is an invasion.
There is no screening for disease and there are increases in polio rates among other diseases. That is spreading disease.
Do they “bring” crime to the US? Druglords do. They are taking their turf war to border towns, again with military vehicles and weaponry. There are repeat offenders in sexual assault and DWI cases who seem to freely cross the border to repeat their offenses.
And they’ve made it quite clear with banners that say “go back to Europe” that they are staking a claim on the turf.
I am uneasy because this may be the start of a war inside our borders. I have seen what side our Government will be supporting.
First they SNEAK in and overrun our country. Now they want to tell us what to say. And McCain wants to let them CHEAT their way to citizenship. La Raza has no understanding whatsoever of the Bill of Rights and the rule of law.
States cannot secede. Counties WITHIN states cannot break away either.
They have a couple of videos up at Youtube:

The media needs to ask if La Raza would be so supporting of illegal immigration if the majority of illegals were coming from Africa, the Caribbean and Asia.

The Shadow Government may be supporting a foreign power but the US military must support the USA.
Even if you legally enter Mexico, you’d be prohibited from protesting because you are a foreigner. They truly do not understand “free speech” and believe that they can shout down the opposition in America.
Political correctness will be the death of this great nation. It angers me that so many great, rugged individualists sacrificed so much for us, and this generation of spoiled, baby-boomer brats is throwing it away.
And that's the real point. They are a nation, and they claim the land. In Spaniard society, nothing is more important.
The humiliation of 1848 still looms large in their minds.
Many times I have been lectured by hispanic friends that "you gonna speak Spanish" someday. It wasn't a friendly comment - it was a threat and a statement of fact: once we re-take our dirt, then we will dictate terms.
This is not the rhetoric of "immigrants", of any flavor.
It is the statement of a conquering invader.
Why do they love Spain so much? And why do they lay claim to land up to Colorado?

Spanish - Mexican Land Grants: However the Colorado Constitution was written in English, Spanish and German. Because most of the farmers only spoke only German. They continued to speak only German until WWIOne or two of the southern counties in Colorado cover
Spanish Land Grant country from the King of Spain
when it became politically incorrect to speak German.
Stockholm syndrome, I guess....the descendants of La Malinche have to have something to hold on to...
And why do they lay claim to land up to Colorado?
It really goes much further than that...
They speak the language of the conquerers, honor their territorial claim, but somehow see themselves as not being of European origin as though to do so would somehow be “bad”.
