Luis Gutierrez: "I Have Only One Loyalty."
Newsweek ^ | 11/29/2010 | Arian Campo-Flores

Posted on 11/30/2010 1:40:38 AM PST by WilliamHouston

Gutierrez, 56, is the most passionate, tireless, and nettlesome voice in Congress on immigration matters. He’s a constant presence at rallies and on TV, defending the undocumented and railing against xenophobia. It’s no surprise that a recent Pew Hispanic Center survey ranked him the second-most-important Latino leader in the country, after Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. “He’s as close as the Latino community has to a Martin Luther King figure,” says Frank Sharry, founder of the pro-immigrant group America’s Voice. Yet Gutierrez’s tactics are controversial. While many admire his tenacity and credit him with keeping immigration reform alive, others, including members of the Obama administration, believe his confrontational style can be counterproductive. He sees things more simply. “I have only one loyalty,” he says, “and that’s to the immigrant community.” . . .

This country would be much better served if these un-Americans served in some foreign legislative body, as their loyalties are not with the USA.

Indeed. Whatever claim of citizenship he has is a fraud, by his own admission.

It’s a shame that “Honorable” has to precede their names!

“after Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.”

Then she needs to step down. Bias on the SCOTUS can not be tolerated.

I may be the only person on this thread who ever met Little Louie, over 25 years ago. He was a community activist who drove a Beemer until his political mentors told him that wasn’t the best way to get elected to an economically depressed area.

He is a true America-hating socialist, and probably the most obnoxious man I ever met. He makes Chuckie Schumer look warm and cuddly.

Congresista Luis Gutierrez (D. Ill.) is probably one of the most skillful practitioners of the "Chicago Way" in the city's history.

In fact, he has all the requisite seamy creditionals that has made him a successful Democrat Party elected representative for years.

Both he and his extended family live off the public trough through dirty machine politics, nepotism, union thuggery, corruption and pimping the Mexican and Puerto Rican neighborhoods. His crooked history, fraught with arrests, federal investigations, etc., is outlined thoroughly in Wikipedia.

There's probably a slim-to-none ray of hope that the Blago trial will unearth all the monumental corruption surrounding Blago, Gutierrez, Tony Rezko, maybe even community organizer Obama, himself, when it convenes in April, 2011.

Not surprisingly, this marxist/socialist/commie congressman started out as an ethnic "community organizer".

Don't they all?

I knew that little piece of sh#t growing up in Chicago not far from Humboldt Park. I used to run into him while he was wearing his “Latin Kings” sweater ( this part of his history has been scrubbed by the way). Always a tough guy, when surrounded by 10 or 15 of his “homies”. Being an officer in a thug street gang was perfect training for the future Democratic Congressman from Illinois.

Newsweek sold for a dollar and it still can’t write a story worth a penny. It should’ve been sold as scrap paper and it would’ve fetched at least 10 bucks.

In my book, Luis Gutierrez is an Anti-American, Racist, Anglo-hating bigoted, Commie operative who desires my and my family’s destruction for his economic benefit!

I can't say it any better.

I want them in the daylight. In the Hot Arizona Desert daylight in Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Tent City Jail wearing pink undies and traditional jail Zebra suits working on the chain gang.

Luis is also corrupt, in the old fashioned Chicago way. He has been involved in corrupt insider Chicago real estate deals that would have led to indictment of any white politician. But the cowardly federal prosecutor Fitzgerald is afraid of him. Fitz only indicts pols who have fallen from grace, a la Blago, or small timers, like Daley's chief garbage collector. Pols that still have political support—Schakowsky, Luis, Jesse Jr.—remain untouchable here.
