Joaquin Castro Posts Names, Employers of Trump Supporters
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | AUGUST 6, 2019 3:45 PM | Brent Scher

Posted on 08/06/2019 2:35:36 PM PDT by Kazan

President Donald Trump's reelection campaign has taken issue with a Facebook post from Texas congressman Joaquin Castro that lists the names and employers of Trump donors in San Antonio and accuses the private citizens of "contributing to harmful rhetoric that targets the Hispanic community and so many others."

Castro, twin brother of 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro, posted late Monday night on Facebook that he was "sad to see so many San Antonians on this list of maximum donors to Donald Trump." He specifically called out two companies, including a popular BBQ restaurant, and posted a list of 44 donors, with their full names and employers.

Trump campaign official Tim Murtaugh highlighted the post on Tuesday, calling it a "target list."

"This is Joaquin Castro, Congressman & chair of his brother's campaign," Murtaugh wrote. "Naming private citizens & their employers, targeting them for political views and exercising 1st Amendment rights."

"At the very least [Castro] is inviting harassment of these private citizens," he said. "At worst, he's encouraging violence."

"Should delete & apologize," Murtaugh added. "Castro campaign should disavow."

A request for comment to Julian Castro's presidential campaign was not immediately returned.

The decision by Joaquin Castro comes days after two deadly shootings in the United States, with information indicating that both murderers held radical political beliefs.

Just a few hours before his Facebook post, the congressman appeared on MSNBC to blame Trump for the actions of the man who killed more than 20 in El Paso.

"A lot of the language that the shooter used is eerily similar to language that the president has used to dehumanize and demonize Hispanic immigrants in this country." he said during an interview with Chris Matthews. "So the president has created this deadly climate where people are acting upon the kind of words and language that he has inspired in them."

His Facebook post quickly succeeded, if his goal was to create animosity within the San Antonio community. Many immediately pledged to no longer give business to companies owned by donors to Trump.

"Time to start buying bbq and gas somewhere else!!" wrote one Facebook user. "Boycott all their businesses, hit them where it hurts, their pockets," wrote another.

Campaigns are required to publicly disclose the names and employers of all their donors, which can be found in filings to the Federal Election Commission. It is highly unusual for politicians to use their public platforms, however, to highlight the names of political donors of their opponents.

That bitch is hoping some of the crazies in the democrat ranks will build target lists from those names an kill more people to further the current democrat attack on the 2nd Amendment. Working through Google and Youtube to limit the forums available to those who dare to exercise the 1st Amendment right to disagree with democrats isn't enough.

Given the current democrat agenda coupled with Google, the democrats are now on the record as eliminating 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th Amendment rights for those who they target, which others? At what point will most people decide democrat fascist politicians have gone to far and start some sort of backlash that actually puts large crowds in the streets which is the only thing democrats understand?

That’s what I was wondering.
Facebook is allowing this?

This Joaquin speaks perfect English without an accent.

I knew a fellow of Italian extraction who grew up in a Hispanic neighborhood in San Antonio. He could speak English without an accent. When Hispanics who didn't know him insulted him in Spanish he could turn on the chicano accent perfectly and outswear them. It was quite amusing. I've always been afraid to use some of the insults he taught me as I bleed easily. ;o)

Eli Wallach is a great example as well. He grew up in an ethnically mixed neighborhood. What a great job he does as a Mexican bandit in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Anyone who uses FB...especially FReepers...is doing it wrong.

I agree with you. I have six Facebook accounts, and none of them is in my real name. Half of them have profiles that don't even reflect my real gender. LOL.

Presidential Candidate Julian Castro’s Mother Helped Found a Racist Hate Group
Townhall.com | July 13, 2019 | Humberto Fontova
FR Posted on 7/13/2019, 6:53:41 AM by Kaslin

“(Julian Castro’s mother) Rosie Castro is a woman with many talents and strong ideals. She’s a well-known, local civil rights activist and was a founding member of La Raza Unida.” -Voices of San Antonio. “Her vocal support for Angela Davis, then a member of the Communist Party USA, brought Rosie to the attention of the FBI.…. A new level of political activism started for Rosie Castro, manifested through her work with Partido Nacional de La Raza Unida, also known as La Raza Unida Party, which she joined when it formed in the early seventies.” -Texas Monthly

Don’t get me wrong, amigos. It’s not like the Southern Poverty Law Center (planet earth’s official arbiter, as we all know, on designating hate groups) lists the Chicano group La Raza as a “hate group.” Heaven forbid! No, for the SPLC it’s outfits like the American Family Association and WorldNetDaily that qualify as “hate groups.”

Instead, I came up with the designation for La Raza on my own, without the SPLC’s guidance, tutelage —or even their permission! If you can imagine such insolence! Let’s have a look at my reasons, and see if you agree:
First off, the very name “La Raza” translates into English as “The Race.” Can you imagine the uproar from such as the SPLC and Democrats if a Caucasian-led group named itself “The Race.” Among La Raza’s most revered idols are two full-blooded Caucasians who—historic leftist lore notwithstanding—were not exactly advocates of Flower-Power: “VIVA CHE GUEVARA!” “Happy Birthday to Comandante Che Guevara!” are just two of the many tributes and accolades for the hate-filled, mass-murdering terrorist found on La Raza Unida’s Facebook page.

“HATRED is the central element of our struggle!… HATRED that is intransigent….HATRED so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him a violent and cold- blooded killing machine…We reject any peaceful approach. Violence is inevitable. To establish Socialism RIVERS OF BLOOD MUST FLOW!….The victory of Socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!”

“The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind! Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination….If the missiles had remained in Cuba we would have fired them against the heart of the U.S. including New York City!”
“My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood!…Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any surrendered enemy that falls in my hands! With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl!” (La Raza’s idol, Che Guevara.)

In brief, the mother of a man who presumes to lead the United States as president (and who “taught her son everything he knows about politics,” according to a media fluff piece) helped found a group whose revered idol is a communist, mass-murdering terrorist, whose lifelong object of burning hatred was the country her son presumes to lead as president! And whose lifelong craving was to nuke and otherwise exterminate the hyenas that populate the country her son presumes to lead as president!

All of this is glossed over by the same media that denounces President Trump because his father once found himself (unwittingly, it seems) in the company of the KKK!
Where’s Saturday Night Live, Monty Python, National Lampoon and Mad Magazine when you really need them?

In the historic annals of unrequited love few cases rival the affair by Chicanos with Che Guevara. They seem to plaster this lily white Argentinian racist’s mug on practically everything they paint to celebrate their Amerindian Aztec culture. Go figure.

Perhaps a word with some Bolivian Amerindians who actually experienced Che Guevara’s plans to Stalinize their culture would help. In 1967 these (overwhelmingly indigenous) Bolivians (with help from U.S. Green Berets) made short work of this (lily-white) Chicano hero. If a picture’s worth a thousand words than this one’s worth a million. Please note the obvious ethnic compositions of the gentlemen proudly and triumphantly holding their guns over their vanquished European would-be enslaver.

While training in Mexico for their “invasion” of Cuba, Ernesto Guevara’s former Cuban colleagues recall one quip by Che perhaps unknown by the folks at La Raza Unida: “These Mexicans are nothing but a rabble of illiterate Indians,” Che Guevara often snickered.

BEWARE THE CASTROS

The identical Castro twin brothers and their mother Mamie.
She is a founder and organizer of the violent, hate-America La Raza.

God knows how many tax dollars went to La Raza when Julian ran HUD---the known hot spot for corrupt politicians.... and the other govt jobs the brothers held.

ALL FOR US NOTHING FOR YOU The Castros believe:
<><> illegals should get unlimited freebies
<><> that Americans should be forced to pay for it
<><> They want illegals to takeover Americans' jobs
<><> they'd gladly put Americans out of work
<><> they bless illegals sending billions in remittances
<><> They'd let illegals break the law without any fear of arrest.

An earlier failed immigration "Reform" Bill established an eternal 100 million dollar "replenishable" govt fund for La Raza (Mommy Castro's wish come true).

The bill also protected Crooked Latino Public Officials holding US govt positions from prosecution for wrongdoing in elective and appointive office.

This is dangerous in so many ways. It is intimidation, an attempt at repression of political speech, a veiled threat and more. The people who were doxxed should take appropriate action against all responsible parties.

He isn’t eligible to be POTUS.

Has his illegal alien mama “La Raza” become an American citizen yet?

An example of how bad it can get is Robert (Black Sheep Squadron) Conrad’s portrayal of a French trapper in a docudrama about early North America. His French accent was so horrible, strained and contrived, he must have done it only for the money.

Saw this on Liberty Daily.

I am convinced that any story that appears on Liberty Daily never comes to fruition...these are like “boom” stories.

Article 1, Section 5, Clause 2

What Castro did as a member of Congress is indefensible.

Eli Wallach was also the bandit in The Magnificent Seven.
