Politician who's son is a serial rapist? Hey, daddy rapes all the taxpayers collectively... son just does it one at a time....
Nothing good to say, better move on.
must be a dem. the article is all about him, the poor chap and how much the thug's action hurt him, and made him cry.
if he was a repub the press would be demanding that he share the cell next to the thug.
So am I reading this correctly. He arrived here as an illegal immigrant and that decision is what caused his son to be a low life rapist scum?

What ?
Do rapists earn more money in other countries ?
**...at trial a DNA match can present a huge obstacle to acquittal. **
Well, hasn't he heard about the Race Card?
That always seems to work.
Gosh, when did Ignacio start admitting it? He used to assert that he came here all legal an' all. Over and over and over and over.
Now the truth comes out. My, did that '86 amnesty application getcha through Iggie?
This butt-wipe has been screwing up Oakland for the last decade. He's one of the jerks who pushed through required multi-lingual staffing for the city of Oakland. Something that even pissed off the Black people there.
In the end, one has to ask: what special skill, knowledge, or life achievement is it that he has that would make him the ideal mayor of a city that size? The fact that he was a creep who broke the laws of the U.S., lied about it in plain sight, laughing at the gullibility of people who bought the lie, and calling anyone who raised the subject about him a "racist" ? (yes, he did that).
Screw De La Fuente and his rapist spawn. Even Huey Newton had more integrity. De La Fuente should just be happy he was never bounced back to Madness Land where he came from.
I'll give him a pass for coming here illegally, since it was 40 years ago. I read through the responses, then I went back and read the entire article. It doesn't sound like he's making excuses for his son, he's just shellshocked, as any decent parent would be.
De La Fuente Jr. has a long history of problems with the law and violence going back to the early '90's. This shouldn't come as a shock to anyone, including De La Fuente Sr.
He's chagrined because his psycho son has ruined his chances at even larger graft than he gets now.
Bummer...
As I am, as always, the liberal optimist who can always find a silver lining, let me suggest that he can at least take confort in the fact that his son, who was raised in a town called "Fruitvale" is out raping females instead of males. See, a silver lining!
Oakland/Richmond area is probably 80% black.
Oh, my! After the LE delayed telling him the charges, he missed a whole meeting of the council. What a survivor! Now, how about a story about the victims and how they're coping? Anyone want to bet sonny boy has been up to no good for years and has only now been caught? Wonder if Daddy hadn't flaunted his own law breaking life and had been around a bit more to raise his son, the streets would be safer.
Well, of course I would feel sorry for this father, but the entire tone of the article is a big turn off. Si Senor, it would have been better for our country if you and your jackal son had never snuck in here.
I for one, and I'm sure most of us here on FR actually feel most sympathy for the women who were attacked by his vicious, criminal son. The auther couldn't seem to care less about either one! You should have included a barf-alert on this one. Where to begin? I'll just quote this bit:
"Despite De La Fuente's deep despair, his political career is not finished, if history is a guide.
The Kennedy family -- about as close to royalty as there is in America -- has survived multiple scandals, including the case of William Kennedy Smith, who in December 1991 was acquitted of raping a woman on a Florida beach."
As long as the rapists, fathers of rapists, uncles and cousins of rapists, are LIBERAL DEMOCRATS, this author is happy, delighted that they remain in power.
This article is a textbook example of media bias. It is reminiscent of the article the NY Times ran in the Wm. Kennedy Smith case, where they smeared the accuser, going so far as to print her name. That really shocked everybody, but they got away with it and the bum, Smith, got away with his crime.
