Maria Conchita Alonso, the Cuban-Venezuelan actress who counts as one of her best-known films “Moscow on the Hudson” with Robin Williams, is drawing controversy over a political ad in which she appears with a California Tea Party lawmaker who is running for governor.

Several Latino organizations criticized the actress for endorsing Tim Donnelly, an assemblyman who founded a state chapter of the Minutemen, an armed vigilante border patrol group, and who has pushed for a hard line on immigration.

"She made headlines a few years ago when she told off actor Sean Penn in an airport in California for his support of the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. She called Penn a communist, and he called her a pig."

She called Penn a communist, and he called her a pig.

Sounds like she won that exchange.

It’s often the case that those who have lived (and grown up) under communism are strongly anti-communist.

Of course, their opinions are swept aside by multi-millionaires like Sean Penn.

Yup. Better a free market pig than a communist half man.

Is this the same Maria Conchita who sang Vamos a Bailar from the Scarface soundtrack?

Impossible to listen to that song without at least tapping a foot :-)

Alonso is an outspoken critic of Cuba’s Fidel Castro and Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez, whom she has described as a “dictator” like “Hitler,”[2] and those who vote and support him as “terrorists.”[3] She has appeared on Sean Hannity’s Hannity’s America on May 6, 2007, Hannity & Colmes on June 1, 2007[2] and Bill O’Reilly’s The O’Reilly Factor on August 13, 2007 and March 11, 2009.

In the fall of 2008, Alonso endorsed the presidential campaign of Republican nominee John McCain..

Venezuelans as a rule understand that illegal immigration as a problem. They don’t like it when it happens in their country and they don’t expect us to like it either.

It used to be a big problem in Venezuela. I don’t know that it is anymore. Mostly the immigration flow is in the other direction these days. But the Venezuelans I know here take a lot of pride in dotting all the i’s and crossing all the t’s.

Wasn’t she in the original ‘Running Man’ movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Regardless, she’s a better American than the president, vice-president, attorney general, 80% of the senate, and 70% of the house of reprehensibles... ....and 99.9% of the ‘Hollywood elite’.

Those LAtino orgs are showing their intolerant leftwing intentions. Once given amnesty they will endorse Democrats not Republicans who support it too.

She deserved an academy award or maybe a Purple Heart for love scenes with an undressed robin Williams in that movie! Let’s just say that he should have spent two weeks being waxed first in order to avoid the up chucked popcorn on all the theater floors.
