AND, all of the speeches were in Spanish of course...
And that may cause more of a backlash than wrapping themselves in the Mexican flag.
Shunning English may play well in Schwarzenegger's California but probably not so well in the Heartland. Will be interesting to see.
This afternoon, one group (maybe Phoenix) will recite en masse the Pledge of Allegiance. That too will be interesting to watch. Will the chorus sing out in English or en espaňol?
Nobody...I mean NO ONE...better be suckered in by all of these American flags...
They were DEMANDING that these protestors carry American ones, because there was an instant negative response last week to the Mexican ones..
But, a lot of these people are having their Mexican ones taken from them, replaced by the American ones...
This is just one big TROJAN HORSE, in the shape of American flags...and I just HATE it when I hear a reporter remark about how "great" it is that they are carrying the American flags...blech
THAT is where the media is being the most instrumental in giving these protestors momentum.
