Sonia Sotomayor 'La Raza member'
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | May 27, 2009 | Joe Kovacs

Posted on 05/28/2009 3:02:53 AM PDT by Man50D

As President Obama's Supreme Court nominee comes under heavy fire for allegedly being a "racist," Judge Sonia Sotomayor is listed as a member of the National Council of La Raza, a group that's promoted driver's licenses for illegal aliens, amnesty programs, and no immigration law enforcement by local and state police.

According the American Bar Association, Sotomayor is a member of the NCLR, which bills itself as the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S.

Meaning "the Race," La Raza also has connections to groups that advocate the separation of several southwestern states from the rest of America.

Over the past two days, Sotomayor has been heavily criticized for her racially charged statement: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

The remark was actually made during a 2001 speech at the University of California's Berkeley School of Law. The lecture was published the following year in the Berkeley La Raza Law Journal.

Could Mexico retake the southwestern United States? Get the DVD that says the invasion is already happening!

The comment is being zeroed in on by voices from the political right.

"I'm not saying she's a racist, but the statement sure is," columnist Ann Coulter said on ABC's "Good Morning America."

That just puts her against the will of most Americans but agreeing with most Senators.

Will the fact that she is a member of a racist, radical organization be any kind of negative factor in an appointment to the highest court in the land?

I don’t think so.

We live in a country that put a man in office who is:

1.) A disciple of an astoundingly and incredibly amoral and immoral author like Saul Alinsky who dedicated the pinnacle of his life’s work (Rules for Radicals) to, amongst other thngs, Satan.

2.) A close personal friend with a Black Theologian racist “Reverend” Wright who thinks the white people in this country invented AIDS to kill black people, donated thousands of dollars to this man’s “church” as he sat in the pews nodding with agreement all those years before the light of the public shined for a fleeting instant on that rathole.

3.) A is a close associate of a terrorist like Bill Ayers and his like in the Weathermen who thought a reasonable price to pay would be to kill millions of Americans who wouldn’t buy into their radical plans once they took power, not to mention Bernadine Dohrn who thought the sticking of a fork by murderers into the slain body of a pregnant woman was a fabulous thing. Do any of YOU out there have friends like this? Do you even KNOW anyone like this? THESE people are close friends and associates of the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Think about that for a minute.

4.) Has vowed on recorded film to gut our military

5.) Has dishonorably bowed at the waist a la POW Dick Stratton (who did it for honorable reasons) to a Saudi King, something NEVER before done by a US President. As such, he has clearly telegraphed one of two things to the leaders and intelligence agencies both friend and foe: He is either incredibly stupid and naive, or he is deliberately sending a signal to those who are paying attention of his view of America’s new place in the world and his desire to set that place at the table for us.

Ruth Bader Ginzborg wants to control a lot but could not control her cancer.

“La Raza” = “The (Master) Race”

This will be brushed aside just like the rest of her despicable decisions. Republicans have become the red headed stepchildren of Washington and I hate to say this but its partly of our own doing. Despite this, we need to get the truth out about this terrible choice of a Supreme Court Justice.

What a disaster.

I hope conservatives leave OThuga with loud, embarrassing ‘egg’ all over both their faces over this LaRaza issue.

Dittos the people who made this country got soft in the brain and got lazy. So lazy they imported illegal aliens to be nannys and mow lawns and build unneeded houses in an unneeded real estate boom and so lazy they did not produce solid children from solid families. So lazy they figured the Chinese would be fools forever and always send them stuff for nice green pieces of paper

Yes I do....Do you not see that using her bout with cancer as a lack of control on her part is out of bounds...not funny...and not worthy of a FR post.

RBG, in my opinion, should not be a Supreme....but to attack any person because they can't control thier cancer is well....sad.

I understand completely what your position is. I disagree but will drop it since it seems like a touchy subject here.

To dumba** Americans who can neither read nor write Spanish...

Do you know what "La Raza" means?

What kind of a nuclear explosion would ensue if the Supreme Court nominee was proven to be a member, and recently attended meetings of the Ku Klux Klan?

I mean, really, now.

This is far more important than some ill-advised comments she’s made in the past. If the Senators have any concern at all, they will question her about it.
