You know, I don't think I can yawn loud enough without unhinging my jaw to express just how impressed I am with your obviously massive command of the fine art of rhetoric. - theseanman66, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Actually, you need to do a little research. LA RAZA routinely allows racist (literally) speakers at it's conventions and you should hear the thunderous applause! Tell me how LA RAZA is any different from a racist organization that also masquerades as a human rights / labor union type group. Allying themselves with labor unions is just a way to have grunts show up at rallies.

(And, by the way, 'raza' literally means 'race,' but is taken to mean 'people.') - ncairns, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Ooh, 'victimization complex!' 'Racial collectivist!"
It sure would be nice if either of those actually meant anything.
Seeing as I'm Caucasian as hell, it would be somewhat difficult for me to be racially motivated in my pointing out that if the NAACP or the AFLCIO are legitimate political organizations, then the NCLR is as well. Now, I now it's oh-so-audacious of those dirty Spics to facetiously ask for the return of the land that historically belongs to them in order to juxtapose the current tithe of anti-Hispanic racism flowing from the South against the dubious conditions which originally permitted the US' acquisition of that land, but next time try harder to veil your ignorance thereof. - ncairns, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1@bearcliner
Right, I'm ignorant, and yet you're the one who's running with a completely inaccurate translation and a distorted view of reality to demonize an organization which harbors goals directly analogous to those of a labor union, or a gay-rights group, or any of a plethora of political organizations. How ignorant of me.
And yeah, silly me opposing Ron Paul - who *wouldn't* want to get rid of net neutrality, stem cell research, NASA, Roe v. Wade and let the South make homosexuals second-class citizens!?
