La Raza = "The Race". That's as blatant racist as you can get.

[mtbopfuyn]

That helps explain why those hordes of illegal immigrants weren't asking for amnesty -- they were demanding an end to U.S. law, period.

Which is something Bush doesn't seem to be able to grasp.

[sgtbono2002]

Both parties are selling our ass down the river for the Hispanic vote as fast as they can.

They wont be happy until this is the United States of Mexico and we are all speaking spanish.

[kinghorse]

What's with the skinhead haircuts? Is this some secret handshake among the reconquistas? I see the most militant sporting the skullcap look. Comments?

When the day comes, I wonder how the minority will feel about an ethic majority of hispanics who rally around "The Race United"? This is different from the KKK and Brownshirts exactly how?

[hispanarepublicana]

They don't speak for me.

I miss Ronald Reagan.

[taxed2death]

Absolutely blows my mind how any politician could spend my tax money in this fashion.

[little jeremiah]

I haven't had much time for FR lately and haven't seen you around either (or could just be missing you).

This is horrible - why is Rove going to be at this thing? Very bad news.

I hope a lot of people who don't yet know about La Raza read this article.

[AppyPappy]

Rove kowtowing to people who won't vote for us anyway. Always a bad idea. He'sll get booed off the stage and the Dems will use the footage to get Hispanic votes.

[NRA2BFree]

Isn't Attorney General Antonio Gonzales a member of La Raza too? I'm pretty sure he belongs to one of these groups.

I wonder if the OBL will show up to scream that we are racist and that's why we are against allowing amnesty to the millions of illegal Mexicans who are here to subvert the US government and reclaim these states for Mexico? They just don't want to admit what the real purpose of illegal immigration is all about, but that's why they support La Raza and MEChA!

Rove will attend and support the agenda of La Raza at the upcoming Mexican Congress, in LA. His boss probably sent him! I bet Hillary will show up with Bill. She was one of the featured speakers to a conference that La Raza and other Mexican groups held last year. In fact, only RATS were allowed to speak, but then, most all of them are RATS, and once illegals get amnesty they will vote RAT and the political face of America will be forever changed.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Maybe they're just trying give to the public the idea that La Raza is a respectible and responsible organization -- just like a previous administration did with the Kosovo Liberation Army.

[DuncanWaring]

...Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "Aztlan"...

As a minor correction, this list should probably also include Nevada.

A more significant complaint is that I strongly suspect the Utes, Apaches, Navajos, Hopis etc. would never admit that the Aztecs ever had any legitimate claim to the referenced area.

[Czar]

Villraigosa (aka Tony Villar) is a perfect choice inasmuch as he's the mayor of the Mexicans in LA, but will never be considered the mayor of LA. He, too, has shown himself to be a racist weasel every bit as bad as anyone you can find In LaRaza, MEChA, LULAC, MALDEF or any of the many other sorry little troublemakers with reconquista and love of illegal aliens as an announced or hidden agenda. So Tony Villar attending this conference is about as remarkable as discovering a burrito in Santa Ana. Good fit.

Clinton, of course, confirmed media whore that he is, hates to ever pass up any chance to avail himself of a photo op and inflict his insufferable bloviation on the largest audience possible--usually at an exorbitant fee. Impeached, draft dodging, accused rapist and probable traitor, it is hard to imagine anyone better suited to be a speaker at a NCLR conference. They are made for each other. Another good choice.

Karl Rove here, is of course merely a surrogate for Bush who would love to attend as principal demogogue and Hispanderer, but who recognizes that loyal American conservatives would then make his life even more difficult than they already have, with Republicans running for reelection storming the White House with protests. Sending Rove, the father of modern party-above-principle Big Tent GOP politics, will fool nobody. So much for the much ballyhooed "change of mind" on S. 2611 and the passionate embrace of "enforcement only". On this one, "compassionate conservatism" and "new tone in Washington" isn't going to do a damned bit of good. Good fit under the circumstances, but a surrogate is still only a surrogate, whose appearance may cause his boss a lot of trouble (and he will deserve every bit of it).

All in all, an impressive collection of traitors.

WHAT IS MEChA?

The acronym MEChA stands for "Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan." or "Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan."

MEChA is an Hispanic separatist organization that encourages anti-American activities and civil disobedience. The radical members of MEChA who refer to themselves as "Mechistas," romanticize Mexican claims to the "lost Territories" of the Southwestern United States -- a Chicano country called Aztlan. In its national constitution, MEChA calls for self-determination by its members to liberate Aztlan. MEChA's national constitution starts out: "Chicano and Chicana students of Aztlán must take upon themselves the responsibilities to promote Chicanismo within the community, politicizing our Raza with an emphasis on indigenous consciousness to continue the struggle for the self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of liberating Aztlán."

These anti-American "Mechistas" live with the false illusion that they are being racially discriminated against because they are Latinos while totally dismissing the idea that maybe it is their ideology that is being discriminated against.

MEChA groups exist in public high schools, college and university campuses in all of the United States

Bill Clinton has offered up his total agreement with the Bush immigration policy.

Now it's Rove's turn to kiss the ring of the Hispanic equivilent of the KKK.

Meanwhile, Rove surrogates on FR and elsewhere continue their campaign to slander Chris Simcox and the Minutemen.

Another step in the Rove campaign to destroy the Republican coalition.
