A few months ago the story of a few Mexican nationals (read: illegal immigrants) was all over the local news. Apparently there had been a report of some shoplifting at a local J.C. Penney store and, depending on who you believe, either J.C. Penney employees, or a cop on his own, stopped and talked to […]
First, Kentucky GOP Senator Jim Bunning said something really stupid. Not Kos-level stupid, but dumb all the same. Bunning should be a man and apologize. Likewise, Democrat Sen. Chris Dodd pulled a little-noticed "Trent Lott" last week. West Virginia Senator Robert C. Byrd cast his 17,000 vote last week. To mark the occasion, Dodd made […]
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's latest screed takes aim at Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's outrageous comments at a summit meeting of Islamic states. But Mahathir's comments are only a symptom -- the cause is (surprise!) George W. Bush. Mahathir claimed that the "Jews rule the world by proxy" and that they must refocus […]
Evan Coyne Maloney has video up from the pro-Palestinian conference and rally earlier this month at Rutgers University. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. My favorite line on the video, from one of the pro-Palestinian Nazi hatemongers, referring to Maloney: Woman: What he is really doing here is intelligence gathering. Not bloody […]
San Diego Union-Tribune columnist Joseph Perkins has a great article in today's paper on Proposition 54. What astounds is that race demagogues like (Jesse) Jackson and (Cruz) Bustamante are hardly the only ones who hold this view. Many whites in California also share this view, particularly those who consider themselves enlightened on matters of race. […]

You can also check out some work on the case done by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education here. Cal Poly will lose this […]
This time from racist Tom Metzger. (CNSNews.com) - A self-described racist has endorsed California Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante in the California recall election, praising the candidate for being what he calls "a separatist," based on Bustamante's past association with a racist Hispanic organization. The unusual endorsement by Tom Metzger, former Grand Wizard of the California […]
In today's San Diego Union-Tribune the following letter from Brian Hughes of El Cajon caught my eye, and mirrors my sentiments on the issue: I find it ironic as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Dr. King's "I have a dream" speech that we will soon be asked to decide on Proposition 54 and whether […]
There are two good articles today on the Democrats' borking of appellate court nominee Miguel Estrada. The first, by Robert Alt makes the case that Democrats filibustered Miguel Estrada because he is a Hispanic who left the reservation. That is, you're not allowed to be a member of a minority group and a conservative. Democrats […]
Pejman Yousefzadeh has a long, involved, link-filled post on gubernatorial hopeful Cruz Bustamante and his ties to the racist, separatist organization, MEChA. Some partisans have gone out of their way to excuse the inexcusable. Pejman does an excellent job of taking them to task.
