White Supremacists Ratchet Up Anti-Hispanic Action As U.S. Immigration Debate Rages New York, NY, May 24, 2006 … As the national debate over immigration continues to hold the national spotlight, neo-Nazis and white supremacists have ratcheted up their anti-Hispanic action, using everything from Internet video games to street demonstrations and other confrontational tactics in an effort to exploit the debate as a means to spread hate. Their goal is to draw new attention to their hateful notions about minorities and hopes for making America a nation for "Whites only." The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which monitors and reports on the activities of far-right extremists, has updated its online report, "Extremists Declare 'Open Season' on Immigrants" with new information showing that extremists continue to focus their energies on Hispanic hate-mongering through racist rhetoric, crude stereotypes, and threats of using violence to intimidate illegal immigrants. "As we have gotten deeper into the discussion on immigration, the white supremacist movement has reinvigorated itself and closed ranks around the cause of fighting immigration and turning America into a nation for 'Whites only'", said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "The immigration debate has provided the perfect storm for America's white supremacist fringe to recruit, organize and sow the seeds of racial discord and hate." On the Internet, right-wing extremists have championed video games such as "Border Patrol," where the aim is to shoot to kill Mexicans as they attempt to cross the border, and used their Web sites to spread hateful anti-Hispanic messages. In the real world, white supremacist leaders have organized protests and encouraged their followers to act violently against immigrants or anyone of Hispanic origin. Anti-Hispanic Violence ADL's report cites two recent incidents as the latest in a multi-year trend of increasing violence targeting Hispanics: •A teenager was arrested in East Hampton, Long Island, on April 29 after he allegedly threatened a Hispanic teenager with a machete and chased a second teenager with a chain saw while shouting racial epithets. Described by classmates as a skinhead, the alleged perpetrator had posted to the Internet photographs of himself posing as a Nazi and adorning a shed with swastikas. •David Henry Tuck, 18, and Keith Robert Turner, 17, were arrested and charged with aggravated sexual assault in the brutal April 22 attack of a teenage Hispanic high school student in Houston. The victim was beaten and sodomized with a plastic pipe from a patio umbrella, then kicked in the head with steel-toed boots. White Supremacist Protests In recent weeks, white supremacists have organized protests, rallies and other events across the country: •In Seattle, Washington, and Las Vegas, Nevada, members of the neo-Nazi National Vanguard held anti-immigration protests on May 20. On its Web site, the National Vanguard declared that day to be a "day of protest against George W. Bush's plan to destroy America," calling the president's immigration proposals a "sellout of the nation." •In Keene, New Hampshire, New England members of the Arkansas-based neo-Nazi group White Revolution held a self-described "anti-invasion" demonstration on May 7 to protest "the invasion of America by illegal non white hordes.' •In Russellville, Alabama, members of the Alabama chapter of the Indiana-based National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan held an anti-immigration rally on May 6, yelling "Let's get rid of the Mexicans!" After the rally, the Klansmen burned a cross in a field outside of town. •In Montgomery, Alabama, the neo-Confederate group League of the South and the Coalition against Illegal Immigration together organized an anti-immigration "Cinco de Mayo" demonstration on May 5. The event was promoted in the racist and anti-Semitic newspaper, "First Freedom." •In Greenville, South Carolina, the racist Council of Conservative Citizens held an anti-immigration demonstration on April 29 in front of the offices of Republican Congressman Lindsey Graham, where they burned Mexican flags and displayed signs such as "More INS, Less IRS," "Vote for Pedro to Go Home," and "I Didn't Fight in Iraq for Illegal Aliens."

Why is it I hear no outrage from the Jewish community about the ADL? Answer. Most agree with Foxman and company, IMHO.
"Look, boss! De Train! De Train!"
Does the ADL have a special "Boring Cliche'" dictionary they use to crank out these tiresome tracts? I don't even have to read them; they all say the same thing, and use the same words.
Freeper motto: "I read, but do not understand; I write, but make no sense."
Speaking of boring cliches.....have you tuned in on the Speak truth to power thing? General Hayden had the balls to mumble that beauty to some congressional panel this week. I damn near fell down. This bag of shit was trying to sound like someone from the 60s. Awful.
My eyes aren't that hot anymore...is that Ash?
Great article, thanks for posting this. It tells it like it is.
hey, who you callin' fat ass? ;)
Mike, you know it, and I know it, that the ADL is full of shit and playing this crap for all it's worth. You know what the real problem is and why we have the hordes of illegals streaming over the southern border? Five little letters tell it all. "Our constitution relies on our ... freedom to nourish independent and responsible intelligence and preserve our democracy from that submissiveness, timidity and herd-mindedness of the masses... The priceless heritage of our society is the ... right of each member to think as he will. Thought control is a copyright of totalitarianism, and we have no claim to it. It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error. Robert Jackson, US Supreme Court, 1954
So the ADL believes members of the CofCC to be 'racists'? Does that include the black protestors (clearly visible in photos of the Greenville rally) as well? These ADL guys really have me confused.
That's the idea. ;0)

I very strongly disagree. The Minutemen and much of the anti-immigration movement is permeated with white supremacists and racists. The ADL is actually too conservative in their take on the problem.
Gee Mike, I'm not a very smart man. Maybe you can explain the difference to me between a white supremacist, as you call them, and a Jewish supremacist from the ADL. I'm a little confused as to why one is OK, and the other is verboten.
All this talk of "white supremesicts" is so hypocritical. Other races and cultures living in America are encouraged to hold on to their traditions, and black Americans had the special holiday Quanza created just for them. Hispanics, American blacks, Jews, the Hmong immigrants and others are encouraged to hold on to their belief systems and traditions, though when those of European ancestry do so they are accused of being white supremecists. When I was a little kid we were told America was a melting pot, and all who came here were now Americans. There is an obvious agenda going on, and the propagandists in recent years have done an excellent job of brainwashing people to accept this new ideology, melting pot is no more.
Huh? All the ADL does is stir up hatred, especially towards those they consider their eternal enemies, even those of us who never knew we were enemies.
Many black Americans feel threatened by the influx of Mexicans, and rightly so, as they need jobs too. They should not have to compete with dwindling resources, they have it bad enough as it is. Yet ADL conveniently leaves out that factor, and black Americans have been around from the beginning. Notice how talk of discrimination towards blacks and their historical sufferings has disappeared, they were only used when it benefited certain causes, now they are being left by the wayside.
That's easy for you to say. I don't suppose you could come up with a proper definitions of those terms? If you think NAFTA has nothing to do with the problem of illegal immigration, then you had better rethink your position and do some further study. NAFTA hit the economies south of the border (expand that with CAFTA) causing millions of job losses and driving subsistence farmers into starvation. This issue is where the Zapatista's have their origins in the southern parts of Mexico.

The ADL are racists, and hypocrites as well. They support "multiculturalism" in predominately white, Christian countries and at the same time they support a monolithic, apartheid state for their own people.
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
Exactly. That is precisely why you see black Americans standing with white Americans at 'anti illegal immigration' rallies all across America.
This is coy sarcasm. I have no use for anti-Semitism either.
Coy it might be, but the ADL can't have their cake and eat it too. ;0)

To accept your statement, one would have to accept the strange notion that this is a theocracy and a Caucasian homeland. I have problems with some of Israel's policies, but I support it's existence and consider them an ally. I also respect and support the ADL as one of the premier organizations out there fighting religious, ethnic and racial prejudice.
There is a huge difference between anti-Semitism (hatred of people for being Jewish) and anti-ADLism (hatred of people who promote an agenda based on hating non-Jews). Just like I can hate the "Brown Power", reconquista type Mexicans who have openly stated they want me dead, but I have no problem sharing a doob with my Mexican friends. Dislike for the narrow agenda of a small group of sociopaths does not equate to irrational hatred of an entire ethnic group.
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
Calling the United States a state meant to be Christian and primarily Caucasian when it is neither Constitutionally and demographically is disingenuous. I would say that coyly claiming to reverently supporting the U.S. Constitution and working to undermine it is trying to have your cake and eat it too.
While I would fight any attempt to turn this country into a theocracy, and realise that this land was stolen from AmerIndians, with Africans imported involuntarily, you should realise that the same "multi-cultural" has been aimed at Europe for the last 50 years as well, by the same media, academic, and political types.
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
I would say that coyly claiming to reverently supporting the U.S. Constitution and working to undermine it is trying to have your cake and eat it too. I don't know what you are talking about. Just remember whom are the originators, and the heirs to the legacy, of the Bolshevik Revolution, the international Jew. "This world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing." Winston Churchill, 1920

you're making the argument above that the US is not a predominantly christian nation. but the overwhelming majority of our citizens claim to be christian. would you say likewise that israel is not predominantly jewish? you reject god and now you cannot think logically. here is a verse that applies. Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Dak said that the US was not a predominantly christian nation and you said that it was not. you're insane, your anti-god obsession has resulted in the deterioration of your intellect.
When I said "Christian" I meant in a cultural sense, not specifically those who practice the faith. If practice of a faith is the criteria, Israel would rightly be classified an Athiest nation, and all athiests would be free to immigrate there.
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
I know exactly what you mean. and you made a very good point. and ferrett mike does not have the intellectual capacity to comprehend because his mind has been turned over to be reprobate, because he rejects god, that is why. america is not predominantly christian. next he'll say that mexico is not predominantly catholic (not trying to say that catholic is not christian - it is) a supple mind is a gift from god. and if we reject god, we should not be surprised that we can no longer think.
Just like I can hate the "Brown Power", reconquista type Mexicans who have openly stated they want me dead, but I have no problem sharing a doob with my Mexican friends. Dislike for the narrow agenda of a small group of sociopaths does not equate to irrational hatred of an entire ethnic group. {{{clapping}}}
I dismiss out of turn that the ADL is such an organization. Israel has it's problems with people who dislike people merely for being Arab and Muslim, just as the United States and South Africa have had problems with racism and bigotry against people who are not Christian, but I reject that this problem is systemic. So you hate illegals, but some of your best friends are colored...err... I mean Latinos and Latinas, aye? Talk about wanting to have your cake and eat it too. If the Minutemen had their member sign-up audited by an outside and impartial agency I might feel better about them. But I look at Storm Front, the National Vanguard and other race baiting White Nationalism/Supremacist entities and see them taking pains to shroud their support and work with the Minutemen by nesting any pictures and copy what reveals their overt and pro-active support as what they see as a vehicle to expand their national influence, I know that they have people trained to mask who and what they are joining the Minutemen after being schooled in what to say and what not to say when they do. Racists and over zealous proponents of a Christian theocracy here are a well entrenched group that has felt frustrated and alienated since the demise of Jim Crow and the back of the bus era, and they see the Minutemen and anti- immigration movement as a means to get back lost power and influence. It will not happen, and I will never remotely in anyway support a toxic movement like the Minutemen or the anti-immigration movement.
Mike, you have a vivid imagination. ;0)

Getting dizzy from all the spinning? Read it again, out loud if you have to. :) I have a problem with people who say they want me dead, why is that so hard to comprehend?
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
that's the best laugh I've had in days. did you get that wisdom by operating a divination rod and asking mother earth?
The First Amendment protects minority religions and people who don't want religion against the whims and caprice of the majority. Organized prayer in public schools for example was wrong because those who did not wish to partake in it were often ostracized and bullied by their peers for doing so. The Supreme Court ruling that protected the right to private prayer and that ended the everybody stand and bow their heads tyranny of the majority was a great moment in American History. Christians should have their right to worship as they chose protected every bit as much as the rest of the citizens and people in the U.S. should have the same protection. But is is a moot and pointless argument to say that the largest religion in the U.S. deserves any favoritism. Don't bother quoting your scripture, I never read it when it is cited. I am a very religious person and I love and care deeply about the Goddess and all life on this planet. You prove my point about your prejudice here in that you have zero intention of granting my religion any right or currency at all merely because it is not Christianity.
More religious bigotry, and you claim that your reverence for Christianity is based on love brotherhood and ecumenical tolerance, your baiting proves otherwise.
because laws say it is legal to not be christian, therefore the majority of americans who say they are christian are incorrect? Is that your logic? Dak said that this was a predominantly christian nation. and you said that it is not. and then as evidence you sited the first ammendment law that says we're free to speak and worship as we please. that is a reprobate mind. But I guess you have faith in mother earth and this over-rules all logic. words have no meaning - mother earth said so.
I can ask you much the same thing. There are people in the Minutemen who want to shoot border crossers on sight and hate brown skin and the sound of Spanish irrationally as this sentiment emanates from America's dark history of adherence to the Doctrine of Discovery and adherence to the notions of Manifest Destiny, is that so hard to understand?
I agree, Diana. I have nothing against the other peoples, but I don't see why white people are not supposed to be proud of our European backgrounds and our history and traditions. We're "ethnic" too. I think these liberal folks just don't understand that most people prefer people who are like them. That's not the same as hating other people. This same trait can be seen in blacks, Asians, various Hispanic groups as well as whites. People like what they can relate to and feel comfortable with. The various white groups of immigrants had problems relating to the people already here as well until they started speaking English and pretty much adopted the dominant culture. I think that's going to be true for other groups as well. For example, if black Americans dropped the whole violent gangsta culture and started acting more like white Americans, they'd do much better as a community and they'd actually become assimilated at a higher rate. It does no good to beat people over the head about being racist. People prefer their own group and tend to fear or be suspicious of groups that are dissimilar. That's human nature.
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
That's called murder when it happens and we have laws to deal with it, althought we also have laws prohibiting illegal entry which don't seem to be enforced.
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
Mike, I don't want to shoot brown people (or any people unless they're from the gubmint :) but I hate the sound of Spanish too. It gets on my nerves. I live in a highly Hispanic neighborhood (because of cheaper rent) and it drives me crazy. I don't hate them, but I would not voluntarily want to live with them either. Some people might feel that way about the French or the Russians or the Chinese. We all have preferences.
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
I don't believe you for a second. Can you site to us even one source demonstrating that anyone in the Minuteman organization feels this way? Because I don't think it's true. I think it's that reprobate mind that can't think straight.
