Radical gal's writings drip with vile bile

Considering what she wrote about the United States, it's no surprise she'd switch sides.

Vicky Pelaez, the Peruvian-born reporter and editor for El Diario/La Prensa best known for her aggressive columns, has been rooting against the United States in world politics for years. She is now accused of spying on her adopted homeland for Russia.

Stories attributed to her on Web sites -- some in Spanish and some translated into English -- compare the United States to Nazi Germany in its treatment of prisoners and call President Obama "a habitual liar."

An El Diario story from this past December, translated on the blog Machetera, accused the United States of meddling in Honduran elections.

“vile bile”

good phrase ...

And now

a Russian KGB agent.

If I’d said that before she was arrested, I’d have been laughed off Free Republic ...

[Gondring]

Excellent quote...

At the time of Pelaez's arrest, the former editor-in-chief of El Diario, Gerson Borrero, said of the suspect:

"Fifty percent of the people that know Vicky Pelaez, that know her trajectory, will say, 'I knew all along she was a no-good communist.' The other 50 percent will say this is a frame-up by the US government because she has been critical of US policy and imperialism in Latin America."

call President Obama "a habitual liar."

Well, she got some things right

[Carley]

I believe this is the woman who was a guest of Shining Path in Peru. Her partner photographer was convinced that the so called kidnapping was a farce and she was a willing kidnappee.

Very good quote indeed.

The other 50% will say this is a frame-up by the US government because she (is a virulent America hater) and has been critical of (what she considers) US imperialism in Latin America."

Former CUNY professor admits to being a spy for Russia (wed to El Diario columnist)
7/1/10, NY POST, By BRUCE GOLDING and DAN MANGAN With AP

A former CUNY professor---born in Peru---accused of spying for Russia used at least one fake identity.........and was married to an El Diario columnist. Juan Lazaro says he's "Russian" and told federal authorities after his arrest that "he would not violate his loyalty to the" Russian secret "service even for his son." The ex-prof lived in Yonkers using the identity of "Juan Lazaro."

Lazaro told investigators that his wife, El Diario columnist Vicky Pelaez, who has US citizenship, had delivered letters to their spymasters on his behalf, and that their Yonkers home "had been paid for by the 'Service.'"

Vicky Pelaez is being held without bond along with "Lazaro" -- who is refusing to provide his real name -- on charges that they acted as agents for Russia.

The filing indicated that federal authorities were monitoring their home conversations by "microphones" "for years." Judge Ronald Ellis said Pelaez who has US citizenship, could be released on house arrest with a monitoring device if someone paid the $250,000 bond ($10,000 cash needed).--SNIP--

Wow.

What an ugly pair.

Vicky Pelaez's El Diario story from this past December, translated on the blog Machetera, accused the United States of meddling in Honduran elections.

This is what amnesty talk has wrought: America-hating parasites come crawling out of the woodwork. We are expected to tolerate the demise of our country so that vote-thirsty Dems can get votes of ignorant Third World haters. It's nauseating that these people would become US citizens under amnesty.

Say No To Amnesty

"Comprehensive immigration reform" is a euphemism for amnesty. As such, reform will impose significant costs on the country. The primary effect of immigration amnesties in both the U.S. and Europe has been to attract more illegal immigration. An amnesty signals to potential border-crossers that if they can just get into the country illegally, they will eventually be given legal status. Illegal entries in the U.S. rose after the Immigration Reform & Control Act of 1986 went into effect and have increased fivefold from the 1980s to today. The vast majority of illegal aliens who have entered the U.S. since 1986 have been low-skilled, low-educated Mexicans and Central Americans; those groups will also make up the bulk of illegal immigrants most attracted by the current proposed amnesty.

Mexicans, Salvadorans, Guatemalans and Hondurans made up 74% of the illegal population last year, says the Department of Homeland Security. Therein lies the problem........a significant portion of second- and third-generation Latinos are assimilating downward into underclass culture.

Hispanics have the highest rate of teen pregnancy in the U.S. and the fastest-growing rate of illegitimacy (now 53%) compared with blacks and whites. The incarceration rate of Mexican immigrants jumps more than eightfold between the first and second generations, resulting in a prison rate 3.5 times that of whites. While second-generation Hispanics do better than their parents in school, that progress stalls at high school completion. Hispanics' high school dropout rate--around 50%--has not budged for generations, and their low college-completion rate has not changed for two decades, according to Patricia Gandara and Frances Contreras in The Latino Education Crisis (Harvard University Press, 2008).

accused the United States of meddling in Honduran elections.

Can't fault them for that one. Obama, you Chavez-wannabe.

[henkster]

Guilty.

[La Lydia]

The story I would really like to read would explain how these people came to be in our country, and became American citizens, and how she ended up on the public payroll.

[Venturer]

Exactly my thought. At least she got Obama right.

[Vaduz]

Been rooting against the United States in world politics for years.
That covers 99.9% of all reporters.

[chopperman]

She was critical of Obama when he couldn’t undermine the Honduras Supreme Court action. I’m hoping that he keeps striking out with Supreme Court actions.

[Gondring]

The filing indicated that federal authorities were monitoring their home conversations by "microphones" "for years."

Yes, and in one of those conversations, they discuss his childhood and mention Siberia...but the way it was put, they still don't know how much she knew. I bet she was largely a useful idiot.

And isn't it just like a Leftie to get kidnapped by Túpac Amaru guerrillas and therefore leave for America--and bash America for not being more like the place with the commie thugs?

[Gondring]

That covers 99.9% of all reporters.

On the national beat.

Local reporters don't tend to be so anti-American...they're more clueless.

[Vaduz]

Local reporters in Los Angeles cover things like dancing with the stars,health food,whwt stat did what you can’t find news in Los Angeles it’s all junk news for the brain dead liberals.

Rush had a great line yesterday. If liars could fly, the White House would be an airport.
