Subject: Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist speaks in Garden Grove on

Wednesday, May 25th

=== PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY ===

I'm sending this message out to make people aware of

the fact that Jim Gilchrist, the founder of the

fascist \"Minuteman Project\", will be speaking at the

Garden Grove Women's Club on Wednesday, May 25th at

7:30 pm.

Gilchrist has been invited to speak there by the

California Coalition for Immigration Reform

(C.C.I.R.), one of the groups responsible for putting

the racist Proposition 187 on the California ballot in

1994.

I live a couple of miles away from the Garden Grove

Women's Club, and I know as a fact there is a fairly

long public sidewalk that surrounds the building which

houses it. It's also right next to a major street.

Although I'm not currently involved in organizing a

counterdemonstration, I think one definitely needs to

take place! We need to show our strong opposition to

racism, fascism, and xenophobia!

Sincerely,

Duane J. Roberts

The following is the a reproduction of the

announcement that was posted on the CCIR website:

totally successful MINUTEMAN PROJECT which literally

halted the \"illegal alien invasion\" of criminals and

smugglers in the Naco, AZ area! Please mark your

American patriot's future plans to expand the

MinuteMan effort in other areas.

The reason we feel the need to live in isolation is because 500 years of exploitation has stolen all the raw resources from the world and brought them to the USA. If we had listened to Adam Smith and his free trade (read free movement of labor) then we never would have had an opportunity to hoard all this wealth, drive the third world into increasing poverty, and set up a system where people want to come here so bad. Most of the illegals are not families (do you have a clue what it is like to cross over here, many don't make it at all and die in the desert), they are young men trying to earn money for a few months so their families can eat. When you stop the neo-con terrorism like the FTAA, WTO, IMF, WB, and all the other weapons of mass destruction, you will stop setting up systems that tear down schools, hospitals, and infrastructure. Then the people in these countries will not have the over supply of no-skilled labor that makes you stock portfolio shoot through your roof, and these people will not be able to get a good job at home. But the US policy of attacking any raw-resource country with a school makes it impossible for any of these countries to build an economic system that will work. You steal the bread from the table of every poor nation on earth, and then call them criminals when they come to your home to work for crumbs. So, yes, the neo-cons are hoarding the wealth, and exploiting the people, and creating a system where people have to leave their families, risk their lives, and all just so they can eat.

Before you turn the actions of one person into the actions of an entire people, let me remind you that there have been several hundred hate crimes committed by white people against people of color in the US since 9\/11 (probably more). If we applied your logic to that, then the US sanctions hate crimes. Your logic is flawed. Remember, it is your side that wants to tote guns around the desert looking for poor people.

When Saddam "gassed his own people" he did it to Islamic fighters supporting Iran, he did it with our support in which we gave him the missiles and the biological warfare, and then we reinstated his trade relations and give him millions of dollars in trade credits (this was organized by Rumsfield when he went there and met with Saddam).\r\n\r\n2. Saddam stopped doing these actions when we stopped paying him to do these acts.\r\n\r\n3. During the US Imposed sanctions Iraq was not able to repair its water treatment facilities (the parts were sanctioned) and they were not able to treat the illnesses from the water born bacteria (we sanctioned the medicine). The result was an average of 3,000 children dieing every month from 1991 to the start of the war.\r\n\r\n4. Now that the war is on, the estimate about a year ago is 100,000 innocent civilians that have been killed (mostly by the US).\r\n\r\n5. Now we have prisons all over Iraq where people are rounded up in the middle of the night, tortured for months, and then released. All without warrant.\r\n\r\nSo to say that people who are against this are for Saddam is crazy. Saddam was a US puppet, and we didn't hate him until he decided to STOP doing these things to his people (the last confirmed case of abuse by Saddam came in 1995). And the amount of people we have displaced, blown up, tortured, and terrorized in the last couple of years is in a close running with the number of people Saddam did it too during his entire career.\r\n\r\nTurn off the corporate tv, and start going to the source. There are many organizations over there doing the research. The Red Crescent (red cross), Human Rights Watch, as well as many more.\r\n\r\nSupport Freedom, Justice, Democracy, and Equality. But to do that, you cannot support the USA, because we only allow for that so long as it does not interfere with the most important thing, corporate investment. Notice how all the different factions in Iraq, many who were opposed to each other before the invasion, are now united. A very large number of the people there do not support Saddam, and the do not support Bin Laden, but they have come together because they share a common enemy, the foreign invaders.\r\n ","author":"1Planet1People","parent_id":126653,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-05-23 22:33:34","modified":"2005-05-23 22:33:34","fileurl":""},{"id":126950,"heading":"Hate Crimes","article":"I don't even need to argue that you are wrong, the facts speak for themselves.

There are certain members of SOS (Baldwin Park) that converse on their website. In a very quick summary, through rational debate, there are certain common grounds that have been identified with certain members of SOS and dissenters on their website. Topics such as globalization, the IMF, WTO, etc have been discussed. Many on both sides agree that these policies cause economies in third world economies to plummet, thus increasing the tendencies for families to want to come north. Though there is no agreement on solutions for the families, both sides seem to agree that these policies are immoral and ought to be fought against. I believe that Sharona Moore is one of those individuals and she does not want to "be against every issue" we are, solely because we are on one side and they are on another. If I am correct, SOS would likely work on campaigns such as protests against mulit-national corporate entities exploiting third world nations. Though the dissenters will not endorse the principles and\/or goals of S.O.S., they seem to indicate that all people should all look for allies to the larger problems of Globalization, Neo-Liberalism, and Neo-Conservative polices. This is a fact that I know all of us address from time to time as we work against things like the war in Iraq.\r\n\r\nI post this in part to recognize and admit some thought to former stories by me have been critical of ANSWER. Though I disagree with some of the situations I have encountered with that organization, I do believe they have been fundamental to the ability for us to mass organize against the Iraq war. They have been fundamental to creating the activist era we all live in. I may not agree on their 'conformist' actions, but I work with them (or have) because there are bigger issues that we agree on (such as an immediate withdrawal out of Iraq, and an immediate stop to our support of the Israeli genocide on Palestine, and an immediate end to US foreign policy that endangers democracy in places like Haiti and Venezuela).\r\n\r\nThe conversations and arguments are interesting to read, but aggravating at times.

Most of these people are NOT SOS members, but the point is that SOS is fueling the fire of racism, it simply can not be avoided. Racists post their hate in the forum, and it builds other people's anger. The SOS forums CAUSE racism, and since they run it, they are creating even more racism. I am not posting messages I from SOS members, but I will say that they have said many times that they are against illegal immigration and not Mexican people, unfortunatly, when they see a hard working Mexican day laborer, they automatically assume s\/he is an illegal alien (many are, and many are not). The group is not verifing people's legal status, and therefore only judging people based on their skin color. I know of an illegal alien from Sweden. Why isn't s\/he scared of SOS, because SOS would never know; s\/he is white.\r\n************************************************\r\nPost:\r\nKathy58 Posted: May 16 2005, 07:59 AM \r\n\r\n\r\nActivist\r\n\r\n\r\nGroup: Members\r\nPosts: 96\r\nMember No.: 329\r\nJoined: 7-April 05\r\n\r\n I have thought about this for quite a while. Even before this post. I have never been a racist who didn't like mexicans. When I first came to California, I never thought about mexicans as being anything other than just ordinary people. Some were good, some were not so good. I had never known any mexicans before so I was without cultural bias of any kind.\r\n\r\nAfter living with them for years, decades in fact, I have to say that I have grown to dislike them as a people, as a culture and individually. You could say I am a racist who was carefully taught to be a racist by the very people against who my bias exists. \r\n\r\nHow many times must an individual be victimized by one group of people before that individual learns to avoid that group? Are there mexican americans who are loyal Americans? Yes.\r\n\r\nThey have to be rare, otherwise I would certainly have met more of them.

Please do not deny this fact, it is very obvious. I am dissappointed. If Iwanted to look at that crap, I'd go to a white supremacist site.\r\n\r\nAs I said before ,being a mexican american, I am appalled at the lack of intelligence in some of the people that post here (aka DMB)!!!

I was very hated at my high school by other mexicans for being a hardworking student and because I wasn't for that "cholo" brownpride lowrider crap.

This is simply not the intellengent way to go, and that is what it seems the protests against them are about. Ever wander why the MMP in not along the Candian border, illegals from Europe and Canada cross that one. Ever think that it would simply be to diffucult to identify the legal ones from the illegal ones. Everytime there is a problem with the economy, it seems that racist groups form and blame it on the person of color.","author":"A Little Fly On The Wall","parent_id":126653,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-05-25 00:48:10","modified":"2005-05-25 00:48:10","fileurl":""},{"id":127061,"heading":"look","article":"If you cannot call the stuff posted here by your faithful racist, then you are blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.\r\n\r\nIt is only about illegal immigration, only.

How many greasers do you think we bring into this country each year? Thousands? Tens of thousands? It's a real mystery, ain't it? The politicians say we need 'em to "do the jobs ordinary Americans won't do." What that really means I don't know, because I can push a mop or lawn-blow a sidewalk as good as anyone. My Pappy taught me there's dignity in all kinds of work.\r\n\r\nNo, they must mean the jobs that our corporate bigwigs are too cheap to pay well for. Half wages, no benefits, fire you in ninety days or whenever, that sort of thing. Slave jobs.\r\n\r\nSo maybe America, which has such an appetite for cheap and expendable workers, is really just a slavery state. Maybe the Civil War didn't solve anything at all, 'cause we only traded one skin color for another.\r\n\r\nMaybe if it weren't for cheap labor, a.k.a. slavery, you wouldn't have your nice house in the suburbs and your nuclear family and your little plans for the future. Maybe that's why you're so techy about it, why all Americans are techy about being the greatest and living in a democracy and being beloved of God and all. Maybe we got something to hide, or something we're hiding from ourselves. Like an alcoholic, or a junkie.\r\n\r\nSo now the goddamned ungrateful slaves want a little health care, they want to educated their little nits and they don't wanna face starvation when we're through with 'em? They wanna become citizens, for chrissake! They want to be treated like people! To hell with 'em!\r\n\r\nFace it, M. You're sounding a might cheap here.\r\n\r\n>It's nice to think that every white person in America is >just sitting on big piles of money, laughing at all of >those filthy minorities, but it just isn't the case.\r\n\r\nWell maybe not laughing, no.

Always gonna be slaves 'cause they's never enough to go around.\r\n\r\n>People here are proud of what they've worked for and >the communities they've built up and live in. \r\n\r\nYep, fine little communities. Fine little tribes.\r\n\r\n>Those people who come to work here illegally not >only don't pay into the system but tend to be the >biggest drains on the system as well. You cannot >deny that.\r\n\r\nOh but I can. You think we could just kick the Messicans out? How long would you last with a broomhandle in your hand? Or a short-handled hoe?\r\n\r\nWhere would little Chad and Tiffany go to sit if there weren't any fast-food restaurants? What would you wear to work if there were no cleaners? You want to spend your weekends doing yardwork instead of watching TiVo on the high-definition?\r\n\r\nWe are completely dependent on our slave labor. Our top-heavy economy would collapse in months without 'em. Why do you think Congress just voted to complete the fence between the U.S. and Mexico? Because up 'till now we didn't want one. Illegals are the people we love to hate. So here's your bullwhip, M. Go on, crease a few wetbacks. It's funny when they start screaming and trying to run.\r\n\r\n>Not only that but the money they do make here, >where does it go? Back into the economy? No. A >good percentage of it goes back to Mexico.\r\n\r\nImmigrant revenge perhaps? Damn clever, if you ask me.\r\n\r\nBut the truth is they're just like us, M. They have families they're working hard to support. Families that aren't here, because a good parent doesn't subject his kid to a march through the desert without water or a swim in the Rio Grande. You can agree with that, right?\r\n\r\nSo the money goes back home, because home is where the heart is.\r\n\r\n>Why don't any of these hate organizations such as >La Raza or Mecha ever address the real issue?\r\n\r\nThey do. But the real issue is not which brand of ignorant hate rhetoric is better than the other brand. The real issue is, how angry are the latinos right now? Are they ready to explode, to riot, to start the killing? A reasonably intelligent overseer like yourself oughtta know that in the end, it is only violence or threat of violence that truly matters.\r\n\r\nSo they get on here, and you get on here, and the two of you duke it out, and you take each other's measure. And if the peasants aren't revolting, you can rest easy in your castle. But If the natives are taking scalps, whitebread, you know you'd better run for the hills. If you live in the southern U.S. you're the minority now.\r\n\r\nWake up and smell the coffee. It's about race and violence because you chowderheads insist that it is. So everyone is just protecting their own, right? But go too far and it'll be a bloodbath. Go back to college and take a few history classes, you'll see what I mean.\r\n\r\n>Whyt don't they ever address why it is more desirable >to come leech off another country illegally than it is to >fix your own beautiful country?\r\n\r\nThe quick answer is, guys with assault rifles. Mexico has plenty, all under the control of corrupt politicians. Just we have up here. Go stage a protest and see how long it takes for U.S. cops to arrive and start cracking heads and making false arrests. Not long, usually. Happened here in the O.C. just two days ago. Kids were arrested for throwing empty soda cans and water bottles, and bail was set at $50,000. Meanwhile the Minuteman who drove his car into the crowd, injuring three, was released without charges.

Since 9\/11 we've become a rightist police state. Read history. All marching becomes into goose-stepping over time. Hitler wasn't an evil freak, he was a good conservative who achieved many key agenda goals.\r\n\r\n>And Mexico really does have plenty of beauty.\r\n\r\nEverything but the people, riiiiiiiight\r\n\r\n>Why abandon your home and try to force your culture >on an unwilling host?

In fact it's hard NOT to be a racist. I'd love to ask the Creator why he made us so fucked up, why we naturally tend toward violence and stupidity and hate language. He'd probably smack me upside the head, call me a white nigger and force me to give him a blowjob. After all, He made us in His image.\r\n\r\n>I don't understand it. \r\n\r\nMe neither. Maybe the Bible was wrong about a few things.\r\n\r\n>But I do know that the Minuteman Project is doing a >great service.\r\n\r\nYep. It's letting us pretend to discourage illegal immigration. Funny how no one wants to increase the number of real cops along the border, or make it illegal for corporations to hire undocumented workers. No, we'd rather ask untrained, unpaid racists to defend our borders from the mud hordes. Makes all the real patriots feel gooey inside.\r\n\r\n>Illegal immigration is a huge problem in the US.\r\n\r\nI couldn't agree more. So how about climbing down from that soapbox of yours and making a real effort to fix it? Instead of backing vigilantism, which increases racial tensions and leads inevitably to hate crimes?\r\n\r\n>I know a lot of you are in college,\r\n\r\nPoor dumb fuckers, heh heh heh\r\n\r\n> so when illegal Mexicans start becoming entitled to >free college educations like those hate organizations >want, what do you think will happen to your tuitions?\r\n\r\nGood idea, make an appeal to our personal greed.

It's the shithole I think you're dreaming of.\r\n\r\nHey, fuck you too buddy. And your mother. And the horse you both rode in on.\r\n\r\nAh, you know I'm only joking. We lefties will never have the starch to go mano-a-mano with meat-eating 'haters. Vegetarians can't even lift a gun, much less aim it and shoot straight. Right?\r\n\r\nRight?\r\n\r\nSo go on, deliver those messages of carefully reasoned hatred. We can read between the lines just fine.\r\n\r\nYou're probably asking, what would that asshole ANonRacist do to stop illegal immigration?\r\n\r\nFirst, I'd crack down on the corporations that hire undocumented workers. Sure, they'll try to bribe their way out of the fines and penalties, but then you crack down on bribery and corruption too. Let a few politicians swing for once. Within two decades the word will go out: no sweet deal in America, so don't risk either the desert or the river.\r\n\r\nNext, I'd legalize all the workers already here and put them on the path to citizenship. And their families back home too, so we will no longer be a society that pretends to be honest but secretly encourages criminal behavior and the marginalization of broad demographic groups. Yep, all them $64 words.\r\n\r\nIn plain English, for you whiteys: I'd make all Americans equal again. No more spics and no more 'haters. Just hard-working citizens who pay their taxes, enjoy well-earned benefits, speak whatever language they please, and fight for their rights under the law.\r\n\r\nAfter all, it's the duty of oppressed people everywhere to rise up against tyranny. Don't take my word for it. Ask President Bush.\r\n\r\nSince we've imported all these neo-slaves we can damn well accept the obligation to treat them as humans now they're here. Pay for their social services with new taxes on the rich, who are the real leeches and welfare moms in this country. It ain't the poor you should be resenting, friend. It's your bosses' boss, who gets $3 million a year to hobnob and dream up clever ways to break the law without going to jail or admitting any wrongdoing. These are the real heroes of the right, which tells us all we need to know about the character of people on the right. 'Nuff said.\r\n\r\nWhat do you make a year, M.? $40K? $50K? Your CEO's got you bent over, holding your ankles while he fucks you in the ass. He tells you it's the fault of liberals and welfare moms and you believe him. You beg him to go faster and fuck you harder. You moan about how much you love it, and how you'll always be his bitch.\r\n\r\nYou've been brainwashed, amigo. How many hours of TV you watch every night? The national average is four, I shit you not. Four hours of trash pumped into your brain nightly, so of course you can't think straight.\r\n\r\nThat's how they did it in Nazi Germany too. Only back then it was the Volkischer Beobachter instead of Fox News and Josef Goebbels instead of Karl Rove.\r\n\r\nThink about it. Let it sink in awhile, and we can talk more later.\r\n\r\nWell, been great chatting with y'all.

Thank you for engaging.\r\n\r\n>MM are the next Civil Rights Movement\r\n\r\nPerhaps if they were having their civil rights violated, that might be true. Civil rights movements are for those who are being treated unfairly, yes? Seems to me that with the backing of the Gubernator and the police, the MM don't need any additional help..\r\n\r\n>>> There\u2019s a HUGE difference between proclaiming oneself to be a Christian and proclaiming oneself to be the Christ. \r\n\r\nUh, okay.

I\u2019m not an anti-capitalist, neither are most Americans. \r\n\r\nNo, I'd never suggest dismantling them. I'd love to see executive pay capped, but what are the odds of that happening? The fines for hiring undocumented workers need only be large enough to encourage companies to hire U.S. citizens instead. Keep in mind though, that translates to a lot of moolah - you'd have to raise quite a few salaries to make them enticing to the native-born. \r\n\r\nYou'd also have to create a lot of new regulators, another reason the right would never back such a plan. Free market theory says "get rid of all the cops." Uh-huh, as if Enron, Global Crossing, Adelphia, Tyco, and all the rest never occurred...\r\n\r\nTime would no doubt find the best solution. If the fines were too high, judges would knock them down. Too low, and the hiring of undocumented workers would go on.\r\n\r\n>>>> Legalizing the criminals we have here already will have the opposite effect of the \u201ccrackdown\u201d on businesses. You don\u2019t reward crime, it\u2019s as simple as that. I\u2019m for deporting the lot of them, I don\u2019t care how long it takes. WW2 cleanup took a long time too but it was still done (on the U.S. dime, as always). \r\n\r\nThey're not criminals, but let's leave that for the moment.\r\n\r\nThere are two problems with your approach. First, you would defiitely have race riots as a result. Nobody wants a civil war, not if it can be avoided, so large-scale deportations aren't an option even if we wanted them. I'm not sure we would, because remember, business will need those low-wage workers for awhile yet.\r\n\r\nSecond, remember what happened to African-Americans after the Civil War. Their nations of family origin didn't want them back after emancipation. It would be the same in South America, I predict; those countries are happy to have rid themselves of what they see as excess population.\r\n\r\nSo here are the choices: we either kill 'em or we keep 'em. If we keep 'em, there are two additional choices: treat 'em like trash, or treat 'em like humans. You already know how I feel on that one. What's the main difference between conservatives and liberals? Conservatives call lots of people trash. Liberals try like hell not to.\r\n\r\n>>>> There are other options too. Taking a balance of oil from Mexico to pay for the damage caused by this current crop of illegals. \r\n\r\nHere again, you can't have that discussion with Mexico without inflaming all sorts of racial tensions on both sides of the border.\r\n\r\nI find it helpful to think of racism in the same terms one would think of religious beliefs. You're unlikely to make a large number of converts in either case, so don't count on swaying people over to your views. Go ahead, make a good-faith effort, but plan on people holding stubbornly to whatever beliefs they started out with.\r\n\r\nAnyhow it would be difficult to claim "damage" when U.S. businesses have profited so much from using undocumented workers. Who is the injured party? Wouldn't it make just as much sense to ask U.S. corporations to disgorge some profit to the state and local governments that picked up the slack?\r\n\r\n>>>> It\u2019s hard to fight for equality when you throw in \u201cyou whiteys.\u201d\r\n\r\nThat was only for shock value. I'm white myself, as I mention elsewhere in the post.\r\n\r\nSometimes I mock racist rhetoric to help people realize the idiocy of it. Dunno if it works, but I try.\r\n\r\n> If you really want to help \u2018the downtrodden,\u2019 you\u2019d be for offering them more opportunity through capitalism, in spite of its flaws. \r\n\r\nIf only that worked. Last I looked, the races and sexes were pretty much locked into stereotyped categories of pay and work. No one ever makes it all the way from the bottom to the top in this country; that's a myth. And undocumented workers, usually, don't even make it out of the basement.\r\n\r\nI'm not knocking capitalism. Think about it: with the exception of a few half-baked social experiments, capitialism is all there ever has been. But the kind that says, "let the markets be totally free," that's scary. There's no financial incentive to treat people equally. In fact, there's a strong incentive to reduce some people to slavery, because that is the ultimate in cost reduction. Government regulation, sad to say, will always be needed to protect people from each other. It's a historic role that you'll find enshrined in the Constitution. Read it and see!\r\n\r\nBut try telling it to the far right. They believe in free markets the way Muslims believe in Allah. \r\n\r\nWhat I would do to help the downtrodden is several things:\r\n\r\n1. Guarantee them good jobs. You need a job to survive in this country, right? The Constitution says you have a right to live. Therefore you have a right to a job.\r\n\r\n2. Guarantee them affordable housing.\r\n\r\n3. Guarantee them quality health care, affordable prescriptions, and affordable food and drink.\r\n\r\nHow to pay for it all? Simple. Burn Bill Gates at the stake and take his money. One guy dies, $17 billion party for the rest of us! Whenever you need more, just burn another rich white guy.\r\n\r\nI'm kidding.\r\n\r\nYou'd need to restructure all of society to accomplish these things. But I count human suffering as important, as would any other man or woman of conscience. Sorry, but Bible-based "I don't give a damn" arguments just won't cut it anymore. Every man is your brother; get over it.\r\n\r\nTo make it all happen, I'd get the poor to fight for their rights. I'd have them overturn every rich and corrupt politician that gets put up for election. That's not a Democratic or a Republican approach, obviously. That's pure power to the people.\r\n\r\nIt's all quite constitutional and non-violent. And it's no more utopian than the current Republican plan to dominate forever.\r\n\r\n>>>> Looking at history, communism and socialism usually thrived when a vengeful populace tired of oppressive tyrants or royalty. The trouble with those two is they become the same demon, only now with a hundred or thousand heads instead of one (or one absolute ruler like Mao). \r\n\r\nI'd go so far as to argue that like all isms they were phony ideologies. There has only been one real form of government: the one where guys with weapons exercise authority over the rest of us.\r\n\r\nCase in point: America. It is a republic, not a democracy. It was never a democracy. But we always say that it is. Why? Are we democratic in the same way the People's Democratic Republic of Vietnam is democratic, because we say we are?\r\n\r\nWishful thinking is one thing, good government another.\r\n\r\n>>>> The leftist philosophy goes nowhere because how can one balance a flawed -ism like capitalism with Utopianism? \r\n\r\nAgain, I think all isms are false. There are guys with weapons, those in power. There are owners and slaves (or near-slaves, a.k.a. labor). There are markets and investments and people squabbling over who owns what, and what resources they want to exploi, and who pays for the damages. There are slaves who tire of being slaves and plot to become owners, and former owners plotting to become owners once more.\r\n\r\nYour ism fights with my ism for supreme power. That was the whole point of the ism, to get people to enlist. Who cares if the banner is red, blue or green? The only real game is the power struggle itself, as we are seeing so often in Congress these days.\r\n\r\nHow much better if we could just sat down and negotiated, citizen to citizen, like rational people. But that would require the rightists to abandon the rhetoric of total victory, and leftists to abandon the rhetoric of... of what? Mild indignation?\r\n\r\n>>> The current R's in office are already centrists. They don't go far enough except on flimsy issues. \r\n\r\nMeaning you're for dropping the bomb right now?\r\n\r\nI assure you, the R's in power now are only slightly less extreme than Hitler or Stalin. You may not have noticed, but we are painfully close to WWIII as it is.\r\nChristian-America vs. Islam, that's what they'd call it. It would go waaaaay beyond revenge for 9\/11.\r\n\r\n>>> The last batch of crazed pscyhotics were caught attacking peacefully assembled citizens at a Women's Club in Garden Grove. \r\n\r\nNope, I knew some of them personally. Idealists, yes, but not crazed psychotics. Now the Minuteman driving his vehicle into the crowd, that might well be psychotic. Why was it SO important that he pull into that parking lot right then? Wouldn't a sane person have parked somewhere else?\r\n\r\nPut it into perspective: if you ran down someone in your driveway, and you were sane and possessed of your senses at the time, wouldn't that be a good argument for homicide? Or at least vehicular manslaughter?\r\n\r\nThe MM was charged with neither. \r\n\r\nI'm sure a lot of the MM are legitimate patriotic citizens. But I'm sure it also has more than its share of psychotic nutcases. The latino community also seems pretty sure of this. Can you prove them wrong?\r\n\r\nIt only takes one wacko to snuff a life somewhere out in the desert, far from the not-so-watchful eyes of the law. That is the real threat. And tell me you'd shed a tear for the poor illegal alien. I've heard it all too often from the people on the right: "It's not my problem." BLING!\r\n\r\nThat's why we need to stop the MM. It's not the KKK, but it's only a few letters off.\r\n\r\nANonRacist","author":"ANonRacist","parent_id":126653,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-05-28 21:45:11","modified":"2013-11-11 00:33:22","fileurl":""},{"id":127588,"heading":"Ergo the wacko","article":"Ergo sounds like a Commie weirdo!\r\n\r\nWe Americans are waking up!
