"My Party (REPUBLICANS) FULL OF RACISTS!" The Honorable Col. Lawrence Wilkerson

Ed: "what do these comments against Gen Powell say about the Republican party?"

Col. Wilkerson: "My party unfortunately is the bastion of many of those people who are basing their decisions on race. My party is full of racists...the real reason they want President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character or his competence as Commander in Chief as President and has EVERYTHING to do with color of his skin."

Ed: "What does this say about Romney to allow Sununu to say this (Racist Attack against Colin Powell) without any repercussion what so ever?"

Col Wilkerson: "It says Mitt Romney will use any tactic whatsoever to win the White House!"

Republican Rush Limbaugh attacks Latina Heroine Dolores Huerta

Despicable Republican Rush Limbaugh viciously attacked Latina role model and heroine Dolores Huerta on his radio show today.
Dolores, along with César Chávez, co-founded the National Farmworkers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers (UFW). Dolores has received numerous awards for her valiant community service and advocacy for workers, immigrants, and womens' rights, including the Eugene V. Debs Foundation Outstanding American Award, the United States Presidential Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Human Rights and  yesterday, she was received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Dolores is an exemplary role model for women and for our Latino community.
The despicable Limbaugh should be thoroughly ashamed of himself.

Tea Party 'Republican Jeff Duncan call Latinos "ANIMALS" and "VAGRANTS!"

Tea Party Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.) made very RACIST Comments against Latinos calling them ANIMALS and VAGRANTS!! The South Carolina congressman participated in a Q&A event with Furman University students on Monday evening. The appearance generated national attention after he made an unusual tie between United States immigration issues and a house without doors.

Duncan said, "It's kind of like having a house -- and you're not homeowners, a lot of folks in this room, but your moms and dads are -- taking the door off the hinges and allowing any kind of vagrant, or animal, or just somebody that's hungry, or somebody that wants to do your dishes for you, to come in. And you can't say, 'No you can't come in.' And you can’t say, 'No you can’t stay all night.' Or 'No you can't have this benefit, using my deodorant.'"

How Racist is America? Latinos Getting Blamed for Crimes of Individuals (aka Bryan Stow perp) and We are Sick of It!

On March 31, after the opening of the Dodgers' season, Bryan Stow, a San Francisco Giant's fan, was beaten into a coma in the stadium parking lot. Apparently the beating was unprovoked. Today, an arrest was made. Suspect Giovanni Ramirez, 31, was detained in an early morning raid on an East Hollywood apartment building and was believed to be the "primary aggressor" in the March 31 beating that left Bryan Stow with brain damage. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Dodgers officials held a press conference this afternoon to provide us with the details of the arrest.

The perp is an American. Based on his name, it appears he is multi cultural, with Italian and Hispanic heritage. However, based on the posts of various comment sections, the right wing extremists are blaming "Illeegals" or "Mexicans" or "All Latinos" or "Mexico." The racist comments on CNN and in the LA Times are flying.

While I am saddened by the attack on this man and I hope he gets better, I am concerned by all of the name calling and finger pointing at the Latino Community and at "Mexicans" in general.

I can tell you one thing. We Latinos are sick and tired of taking the blame for one person's crime just because they happen to be (partially) of the same ethnicity. Are the families of Northern European Immigrants to blame for the crimes of BTK? Gacy? Bundy? Laughlin? Poplawski? etc. etc. etc. No one casts the large net over this community for the crimes of the one. I remember after the Gifford shooting, we kept hearing Laughlin referred to as "the LONE crazed gunman." However, this doesn't happen when the perp is a minority. For some reason, in these cases, pundits and commenters blame the entire Minority community for these crimes. This HAS TO STOP!

Today, as the news came out about the capture of the Stow attackers, comment sections and right wing websites blamed the entire Latino community for this crime.

Some examples include:
. On Alipac.us, someone by the name of "NoBueno" says: Based upon this description, they're either illegal invaders or the spawn of illegal invaders, which are one in the same.
From CNN:
. onlyIMright said: We all KNEW it was an illegal Mexican. They are VIOLENT and don't give a rip about American values.
. onlyIMright Illegal Mexicans need to be put into a large jail cell in Mexico.
. muydogged said: Hope this is the one and that he serves a long prison time. He'll rat out the others soon. They'll be like roaches not that the light is on them.
. AlbusPWBD said: Show me an all Mexican community in Southern Cal. and I'll show you a very high crime rate. Can you say the same for an all white community?
. Ponderschit said: See, you're talking about the civilized society there... Illegals destroyed that idea years ago. Now it's simply the Animal Kingdom wherever you go.

These comments go on and on and on. They are sickening!

I believe the only way to stop these commenters is with our vote. I URGE ALL LATINOS TO REGISTER TO VOTE, STUDY THE ISSUES AND VOTE FOR THOSE WHO BEST SERVE US!

ALL OF THIS HATE AND DEMONIZATION AGAINST OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY MUST STOP ONCE AND FOR ALL!! TOMORROW (MONDAY) IF WE SEE ANYONE (any news station, newspaper, comment section, website) BLAME THE LATINO COMMUNITY FOR THESE CRIMES, PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL OR LEAVE A COMMENT. (dee_perezscott@yahoo.com)
I will keep track of them and start a list of those who blame our community for such crimes, especially any politicians who do so! We will then have proof to Vote them OUT OF OFFICE!

Frankie Maybee GUILTY of HATE CRIME Against Latinos

Arkansas Jury Finds Man Guilty of Federal Hate Crime Related to the Assault of Five Hispanic Men
Frankie Maybee, 20, of Green Forest, Ark., was convicted yesterday by a federal jury today of five counts of committing a federal hate crime and one count of conspiring to commit a federal hate crime, announced the Justice Department. This is the first conviction at trial for a violation of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which was enacted in October 2009. Maybee faces a maximum of 55 years in prison, and a fine of up to $250,000 per violation.

On May 16, 2011, co-defendant Sean Popejoy, 19, of Green Forest, pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of committing a federal hate crime and one count of conspiring to commit a federal hate crime in connection with this matter. Evidence presented at trial established that in the early morning hours of June 20, 2010, Maybee and Popejoy conspired to and did threaten and injure five Hispanic men who had pulled into a gas station parking lot. The co-conspirators pursued the victims in a truck. When the co-conspirators caught up to the victims, Popejoy leaned outside of the front passenger window and waived a tire wrench at the victims, and continued to threaten and hurl racial epithets at the victims. Maybee, driving his truck, rammed into the victims' car repeatedly, which caused the victims' car to cross the opposite lane of traffic, go off the road, crash into a tree and ignite. As a result of Maybee and his co-conspirators' actions, the victims suffered bodily injury, including one victim who sustained life-threatening injuries.

"The defendants targeted five men because they were Hispanic, and today's verdict shows that the Justice Department is committed to vigorously prosecuting individuals who perform acts of hate because of someone's race or national origin," said Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. "We will continue to use the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, and every other tool in our law enforcement arsenal, to identify and prosecute hate crimes whenever they occur."

"We thank the jury for their careful consideration, and for their verdict. It is horrific that acts of violence are committed against complete strangers because of their race," Conner Eldridge, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas. "In this case, five Hispanic men stopped to fill up their car with gas and were violently run off the road, causing severe injuries and nearly causing death to one of them. In the Western District of Arkansas, we will continue to prosecute acts of violence that are motivated by hatred of another's race. "

This case was investigated by the FBI's Fayetteville, Ark., Division in cooperation with the Arkansas State Police Department and the Carroll County Sheriff's Office. The case was prosecuted by Trial Attorney Edward Chung of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division and Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyra E. Jenner for the Western District of Arkansas.

Republican TeaParty Candidate Condones Violent Attack Against President Obama!

On Tuesday, Teaparty Republican Rep. Paul Broun held a Town Hall meeting. The first question one of his constituents asked was, "Who is going to shoot Obama?" Broun's Tea Party supporters all laughed. Broun laughed.
In this year of violence and HATE, especially after the Tuscon shooting, Broun should have chastised his supporter when he asked such a violent and despicable question. Instead, Broun LAUGHED and responded, "The thing is, I know there's a lot of frustration with this president. We're going to have an election next year. Hopefully, we'll elect somebody that's going to be a conservative, limited-government president that will take a smaller, who will sign a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare."

WE SAY SHAME ON BROUN!!! SHAME ON ANY TEA PARTY CANDIDATE OR MEMBER THAT DOES NOT SHOUT DOWN VIOLENCE OR ANYONE WHO ADVOCATES VIOLENCE!!!! (Can you imagine the outrage had a Democratic Representative condoned an attack against a Republican??)

Racist Back-Woods Republican Teapartier Luke Scott is a Birther!

Orioles Luke Scott: Obama Wasn't Born Here
In yet another example of why athletes should stick to the field of play and keep their mouths shut when it comes to real-life subjects, racist teapartier Luke Scott of the Baltimore Orioles admits he is a birther who doesn't think President Obama was born in the United States. On a radio show on Tuesday, David Brown of Yahoo's Big League Stew asked Scott, "You don't think that Obama wasn't born in the United States, do you?" "He was not born here," Scott replied. Brown then audibly sighed, and Scott went on a rant.

"I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go -- within 10 minutes -- to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, 'See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.'" He went on for a couple of more minutes. "The man has dodged everything," Scott said of Obama. "He dodges questions, he doesn't answer anything. And why? Because he's hiding something."

The racist birther movement has been largely discredited ever since Obama produced a copy of his birth certificate during the 2008 campaign to prove he was indeed born in Hawaii. However, as much proof as the President and the Governor of Hawaii provide, none will be enough for back woodsers like Luke and other demented and racists Birthers.
More on Scott as a child banjo player:

Latino AZ Congressman Raul Grijalva Under Racist Attacks by Republicans and unknown ANTI-Immigrant Forces!

Latino Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva has been under attack by Republicans and unknown ANTI-Immigrant forces. Grijalva's Tucson, Ariz., office was evacuated Thursday when a staffer opened an envelope containing a plastic bag of white powder and two pieces of paper with swastikas written on them.

In June, a Phoenix man was indicted for threatening to assault, kidnap and murder Grijalva and his aides. In July, a bullet was fired into Grijalva's Yuma office shortly after he reversed his call for groups to boycott Arizona because of its new immigration law.

Now, Republican (I'm a Maverick/I'm NOT a Maverick) McCain's Senate campaign funded an ad against Grijalva that is running around the clock in the seventh district, an unusual move that drew complaints from Democrats that McCain was violating his own campaign finance reform rules. And McCain is now sharing office space with Grijalva's opponent, subletting a chunk of his Tucson headquarters to the cash-strapped campaign of novice candidate Ruth McClung.

McCain may have general personal and ideological differences with Grijalva, but he also has a quite specific local objection to the congressman. McCain backers have long sought to mine for uranium near the Grand Canyon. Grijalva has stood in the way. He is on the short list to be Interior Secretary and is chair of the House Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands. His opposition to the mining included holding a field hearing in Arizona to explore its environmental consequences. Grijalva successfully lobbied the White House to temporarily block the mining. At Grijalva's field hearing, Utah Rep. Rob Bishop, the ranking Republican on the subcommittee, called the Obama move "tyranny."

Shortly after Grijalva's hearing, McCain and Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, the number two Republican in the Senate, sent a letter to Grijalva defending the right to mine in the area. Sam Stone, a McClung spokesman, said that the campaigns are not working in coordination. "We're not working together," he said. "We're simply sharing space that was available on very short notice. Obviously we didn't have a lot of resources or funds until really within the last month." Stone said the campaign had no office until roughly four weeks ago and is paying half the rent.

The McClung campaign, in its first money bomb, used a RACIST doctored image of Grijalva that plays on racial stereotypes, depicting him with a long mustache. (Stone said that no offense is meant by the image and that it was a play on the exaggerated mustache Grijalva uses in his own campaign literature.)
