Thanks for helping to set the record straight on this Doug. I was glad to hear John and Ken on KFI really emphasize how Valdez distorted history as well.

I sent an email to Fox regarding Tony Valdez comments. I heard back from them that he is going to say an apology during his show next week.

I told them not to bother as no-one will watch to increase his ratings.

More benefits from the Great Illegal Alien Boycott of All Things American on 5/1. People are a little quicker to jump up and dispute these stupid statements.

If this ***clown's name were John Rocker, Al Campanis, Jimmy the Greek, or Rush Limbaugh, he would have already been fired.

"Here in California, there's a monument to the Mormon Battalion. The great heroes who killed a lot of Mexicans so that this part of the world could be taken by force by the United States."

That's what he said.

Another newsie outed by his bias. Shame the dipsh*t didn't read up on the history of the West. He is probably too stupid to know that he is stupid, and will continue until stopped by management. Maybe cBS can hire him to help Cutie-pie Katy!

***While moving up the San Pedro River in present-day Arizona, their column was attacked by a herd of wild cattle. In the ensuing fight, a number of bulls were killed and two men were wounded. ***

Well, maybe they were MEXICAN bulls!

When one says that the Mormon Battalion shot the bull they are correct.

They did their duty and should have the honors.

I just spoke with Professor Black's assistant at BYU and sent her the clip. They had not yet read the quote and were quite amazed. I suggested that they demand to be on the show to correct the record.

Doug, I had ancestors in the Mormon Battalion, a lot of hard ridding and no fighting.

This is from newsman and American citizen Tony "Reconquista" Valdez:

"But nevertheless, nevertheless, you took this country. You killed people in order to take this country for yourselves."

(It was fairy funny that Ken and John ended by saying Aztlan as if it were A**land.)

I learned some history through this episode. Perhaps Valdez will be forced to correct his revisionist history.

As opposed to the Native and Spanish populations who gained territory by, what? Talking about it???

I don't think so, my man.

Of course. But these days with the objectionable yet celebrated by liberal elites "Big Love" on HBO totally misrepresenting polygamy as being a current practice among Mormons, it's not, it's fashionable to bash Mormons among media types. Of course any Christian religion these days is fair game with the lib-o-crites. That's acceptable bigotry.

This has to be the only time in history that a military formation has been attacked by a herd of "wild cattle".

"But nevertheless, nevertheless, you took this country. You killed people in order to take this country for yourselves."

Dear Tony,

If you think California and the West would be better off under Mexican rule may I suggest maybe you would be too? In order to get back to the utopia known as Mexico so that you can experience the glory of living under Mexican governance and subsistance economics, get on the I-5 and head south. Continue driving south for a little over two 2 hours. When you reach a big checkpoint, give your US passport to the US guard stationed there. Then continue to drive south.

I hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Mike
