Hate Speech Cited in Immigration Debate

WASHINGTON, (AP) -- A national Latino group said Thursday it is fighting back against what it considers to be "hate speech" that has emerged from the debate over immigration.

National Council of La Raza President Janet Murguia announced plans to pressure television network executives and candidates seeking their parties' presidential nominations to clamp down on such remarks.

The group launched a Web site to counter the speech, www.wecanstopthehate.org, with clips of what it considers offensive comments on television as well as a tracking of hate crimes.

"Hate groups and extremists have taken over the immigration debate in an unprecedented wave of hate," Murguia said. Although some comments could be considered free speech, "there is a line that sometimes can be crossed when it comes to free speech," she said.

I thought that La Raza was just a convention bureau. I haven’t heard form them in a long time.

I agree, with the hispanics voting dem they will probably carry California and Texas and Florida too.

"The media needs to ask if La Raza would be so supporting of illegal immigration if the majority of illegals were coming from Africa, the Caribbean and Asia."

Frankly I'd rather have Asian illegal aliens than MS-13 illegal aliens. They have a tendency to kill fewer American citizens.

Sounds like one of the lines from the Jimmie Cagney Movie 1-2-3.

Why live in fear, arm yourself and be ready.

LaRaza can take “hate speech” and shove it where the sun don’t shine. Why do they even exist? All this race crap is pointed directly at whites.

Young whites in particularly and many on both the left and right are prone to saying “race doesnt matter” Really? Here is what Miguel Perez had to say recently:

In fact, Latino voters may make McCain president if he becomes the Republican nominee. And if another Republican gets the nod, so many Latinos will vote Democratic that records will be broken...

...Nothing could be farther from the truth! ... [To] the overwhelming majority of Latinos, especially those who live in the major urban centers of this nation, illegal immigrants are not foreigners who represent some kind
of threat; they are our friends and neighbors. Sometimes they are even our relatives. Those who don’t think we will vote to help them are sadly mistaken.

He is of course not even close to the only “Latino” saying this or something similar.

We either stand up and defend our culture, our people and our communities or give it up. They are promoters of the invasion and our demise. This is an invasion!

James Cagney movie - One, Two, Three
Portions of this page Copyright 1981 - 2008 Muze Inc. All rights reserved.

Movie description
Billy Wilder’s Cold War satire, derived from an energetic Molnar comedy the director had seen in 1929, probably owes as much to NINOTCHKA, perhaps the best known film of his idol Ernst Lubitsch. It stars James Cagney as C.J. MacNamara, a Coca-Cola executive who comes to West Berlin to promote the sugary brew on the other side of the Iron Curtain, hoping, in the process, to be promoted to the post of director of West European operations. He soon learns that his real job is babysitting his boss’s 17-year-old daughter Scarlett (Pamela Tiffin), who has secretly married volatile Communist Otto Piffl (Horst Bucholz) during her soujourn. By the time McNamara learns this small detail, his boss (Howard St. John) is about to arrive in Berlin. After he gets Piffl arrested by the East German police, who torture him by forcing him to listen to “Itsy-Bitsy-Teeny-Weeny Yellow Polka-dot Bikini” repeatedly, C.J. finds out that Scarlett is pregnant, and realizes he has only twelve hours to get Piffl released and turn him into an acceptable son-in-law for his boss. Wilder’s anarchic satire targets Communism, Coca-Cola, rock n’ roll, bureaucratic inefficiency, teenage lust, middle-aged lust, and everything else which wanders into range in this briskly paced farce, which features a vigorous James Cagney in his last leading screen role.

Credits
Producer: Billy Wilder
Cast: Arlene Francis, Horst Buchholz, Howard St. John, James Cagney, Leon Askin, Lilo Pulver, Pamela Tiffin, Peter Capell

You can’t stop FREE SPEECH, or as the Progressives call it, FEELINGS. And you can’t stop me verbally loving to attack illegal law breaking pity sucking immigrants!
