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."

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.
Incorrect about what? Being the largest religion does not give Christianity currency to push around people who are not of that faith or who don't want religion. The Constitution protects minority religions and people without religions against the whims and caprice of people of the largest faith in the United States. If you do not understand that, you do not comprehend the Constitution and what it is all about. You are welcome to stop the religious baiting too, as you are not going to ever put me on the defensive with it. If anything such nonsense beliles you, not me. I am merely amused by such tactics, nothing more.
I feel like I have the right to live in the culture I was raised in. Maybe not an aboslute right, but at very least one of the reasons I put up with government is to secure that continuity.
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
Make up your mind. First you ask, then you dismiss out of turn any desire to listen to an answer with your ad homenim attack.
I understand that and I agree with you. I don't understand why were are being forced to live with people that we never agreed to. That seems very basic to me - most people want to live in the culture they grew up in or are most comfortable with. I'm not going to pass judgement on whether any culture is better - it's what people know and want. That's human nature.

I have to run and do some things, but this has been an interesting give and take so far other then where it wonders into personal attacks. I'll be back soon enough to respond, but I would prefer the emotions be harnessed to the purpose of promoting argument and lively discussion. Personal attacks are not productive and do not promote the process of give and take on the issue at all. ;-)
But our government was never given permission to alter the fundemental structure of society at large. I can't recall one time the issue of milticulturalism was on the ballot, excepy maybe prop 1(?)87, which was overwhelmingly approved but struck down by the court(e)s.

I think it was Jesse Jackson that said there is a problem when I am walking down a dark street in New York, and I hear footsteps behind me, and I am relieved when I turn around and see that I am being followed by a white person.
.
I agree, Mike, but I think personal attacks become somewhat inevitable as people get angry about topics that are very close to them emotionally and perhaps in terms of where and how they live. For example, folks living on the border might find it hard to discuss things in a dispassionate way as they live with the problem every day. But c'mon back and we'll all get out the kevlar. :)

I'm getting hammered on cognac, so please understand that anything I may say later should not be taken too seriously.

I remember that, and yes, it is sad that someone should feel that way. We've had a few black men stand up and say there is something wrong in the black community, like Bill Cosby and recently a black conservative whose name I just can't recall. Unfortunately these gentlemen get pilloried when they speak the unpleasant truth. I live across the street from a funeral home that serves much of the black and hispanic communities for their young gang violence victims. Every few weeks (and sometimes it was more often than that) I could see hundreds of young black or hispanic people outside this home and I'd know there was a dead young person inside, usually male. And I think what a terrible waste this is, and how horrible and unproductive this whole violent gangsta/rap/welfare culture is. And now black people particularly are getting screwed over by illegal immigration as they can't even get those jobs any more. People have to develop higher standards. Since the 60s are standards in all areas of life have gotten lower and lower because of our fear of offending someone or "judging" someone until we got to this point where people have almost no standards at all except that of "feeling good" physically or emotionally. You can't build a community on that.
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
I don't like hearing spanish either. but I hear it all the time. and I wish I understood it and spoke it. I live in phoenix. today I'm taking two people out to the chinese buffet. and both people are ethnic mexican though they were born in arizona, they are american, but the dividers among us insist we call them mexican, when I'm over at their house they may speak spanish with their neighbors & friends, some of whom are recent illegal immigrants. I'll be the only non-spanish speaker in the whole group. and these two people whom I'll take to the chinese buffet are unemployed which would not be the case if it weren't for the invasion from the south. the reason that I have it in my heart to do this type of thing on a regular basis is because I have received a gift. through long-suffering and faith and praise the god who made us, the one who is the beginning and the end and created all, has given to me a gift that I will do this and be happy that I do. but the ferret who worships mother earth has received a different gift for his systematic and willful rejection of god. He has received a reprobate mind. and he believes that people of christian faith are hate-mongers and racists. this is his gift - utter confusion, stupefying warped nonsense rolls out of his mouth. praise the lord! for he is the one who made us and will usher us into the kingdom of heaven! Nothing that is truly good has been made by man. Man has been allowed to rule here on earth only so that man will be discredited. Look around, the discrediting is in progress. we cannot rule ourselves. We must turn to god. the people will be divided. choose life, do not choose death. it will be your choice. Your conscience will show you this choice and you will be able to make it. Unlike what ferret mike says the first ammendment does not give us free choice. It is god who gave us free will and free choice and allows us to choose. do not choose to reject god, you'll get a reprobate mind as a reward. not a good deal.
I have often thought this, Red, especially when I'm walking around in nature. I often think that there's nothing man has created with his great mental gifts which matches the beauty and elegance and simplicity and sustainability and balance that God has given us. And we don't appreciate it, which is the shame of it. We think our minds are our greatest gift, but so many evil people have had great minds. The heart is the more important organ.
