GOP Bashing Hispanics—Good for the Dems!

Posted by on May 17 at 14:49 PM

This just in: Senate OKs Border Fence, Backs Citizenship.

Here’s a headline from last week: Of U.S. Children Under 5, Nearly Half Are Minorities

Nearly half of the nation’s children under 5 are racial or ethnic minorities, and the percentage is increasing mainly because the Hispanic population is growing so rapidly, according to a census report released today.

Hispanics are the nation’s largest and fastest-growing minority group. They accounted for 49 percent of the country’s growth from 2004 to 2005, the report shows. And the increase in young children is largely a Hispanic story, driving 70 percent of the growth in children younger than 5. Forty-five percent of U.S. children younger than 5 are minorities.

The reaction of the right-wing media to the Washington Post’s story? Make more babies—you know, the right kind. The white kind. Here’s John Gibson on Fox News:

Do your duty. Make more babies. That’s a lesson drawn out of two interesting stories over the last couple of days.

First, a story yesterday that half of the kids in this country under five years old are minorities. By far, the greatest number are Hispanic. You know what that means? Twenty-five years and the majority of the population is Hispanic. Why is that? Well, Hispanics are having more kids than others. Notably, the ones Hispanics call “gabachos”—white people—are having fewer.

Now, in this country, European ancestry people, white people, are having kids at the rate that does sustain the population…. To put it bluntly, we need more babies…. Why is this important? Because civilizations need population to survive. So far, we are doing our part here in America but Hispanics can’t carry the whole load. The rest of you, get busy. Make babies, or put another way—a slogan for our times: “procreation not recreation.”

Keep up, you right-wing idiot motherfuckers. You keep insulting the fasting growing segment of the population—Hispanics and immigrants—with your racist rhetoric and your fences and your “make more cracker babies!” hysterics. Immigration, legal and illegal, can’t be stopped, and your screaming and yelling about it is going to help the Dems. Keep it up!

...the ones Hispanics call “gabachos”—white people—are having fewer...

My favorite slang for a gringo is "bolillo". A bolillo is a puffy little round white bread roll.

Boycott the slimy little Mexican republican that owns Septieme! Let's show him why the Capitol Hill community is really all about.

I saw the John Gibson clip on Colbert last night and i must admit, even for Fox news, this was a new low. Of course this is the same channel that on the same day claimed the president of Iran's (I am not even going to attempt his name) letter to Dub Ya was all Democrat talking points. Clearly if the Dems win congress and the presidency the US will just become a puppet state controlled from Tehran. The inbred, bible humping morons who watch Fox news (the moral majority?) will believe that.

These people are such fucking idiots. Having them in power begs the question, at what point do we stop trying to reason with them and just start shooting? Afterall, at the rate they are going the only right we are going to have left is the 2nd amendment.

More parallels with Nazi tactics here.

The Nazis came to power during a national economic crisis. They labelled a segment of the population - the Jews - as Other and said they were causing economic instability (presumably by taking jobs from "true" Germans).

Sound familiar? The Right speaks about Hispanics (they use the word "immigrants," but the connotation is much broader than non-citizens) in much the same way: They are Other and they are taking jobs from "true" (white) Americans.

The tactic is despicable and obvious in its intent: to distract the common people from what really causes economic and social hardship: corrupt government.

Ethnic cleansing does not necessarily require genocide. It can also come about by other non-lethal methods like those being bandied about today.

"Have more babies," indeed. Witness the return of Eugenics to the mainstream American discourse.

You should see why the history of Racism by the democrats have impeded any effort to make this country not racist until presently.
The fucking Dems have put the civil rights into a quagmire and they still do not apoligize.
And even now the Dems are Racist as ever.Byrd people-Byrd and all the other fuckin racists in their party.
The Democrats do not own up to their past and never will.
They got you libs fooled

It is no wonder that a centrist Dem like Larry Philips at the King County council delays a resolution on behalf of immigrant rights. A resolution supported by hundreds of community groups, labor and other political leaders, a resolution that has been passed by hundreds of cities and supported by Hate Free Zone, Comite. LELO, SEIU, Washington state labor council, Asian American groups Urban league and others . Acoording to Philips, he feels that the word civil rights would lead immigrants to beleive that they have a right to vote. Nevermind that the voting rights act clearly states that is US citizen. Civil rights also means, right to assemble, freedom of speech, freedom from improsement and a host of other things. With Dems like Phillips, who has hundreds of clones in the other DC, there is no hope for true immigration reform.

Thanks, Kong, for providing clear examples and facts to support your argument.

Okay, so you didn't. But that's alright. That's the way discussions work these days. Just say what you feel. History is in the past; there's no need to dig it up just to support what you already feel is right.

Welcome to the "Saying It Makes It So" era. Carry on.

The Civil Rights Act of was the culmination of 106 years of Republican efforts, not Democrat, and it was an uphill battle all the way. Democrats filibustered and blocked any movemnet toward radical civil rights change.

The Democratic party embraced the Civil Rights movement, not out of compassion or tolorence of blacks, but because they saw the writing on the wall.They knew that passage of the Civil Rights Act was inevitable and they realized that there was going to be a new and powerful voting block.
They knew that most blacks from that time were uneducated, uninformed and naive so they changed tactics.
In an effort to win over this new and powerful voting block the Democrats started embracing the cause.
They started pointing to "this" bill or "that" legislation" that they voted on in order to show they were with blacks all along.
Ignoring the fact that in the beginning of the Civil Rights era, most bills before Congress were Republican sponsored.
In a Media and propaganda Blitz they stole the Republican thunder, but the facts are there. History doesn`t lie despite attempts to alter the facts

Did I say it or did someone else. Anyways you racist democrat supporting liberals look up the facts yourself, Its history and modern at that.nothing changes and the Dems are gonna lose in 2008 because they are Racist liers floating off the back of Republican achievments for civil rights.

Most of those Dixie Dems that opposed civil rights became what is now the Republican party, they left the Dems and became republicans and they are now the leaders of your party. Like rapist Storm and Trent Lott. It doesnt get any more racist than those guys you are now embracing.

Yo King Dong,

What did you miss the part in American History when they told you about how the Rethugs and Dems swapped roles in the 1960's on race (in case you were on crack or something, first off, there were loads of racist Southern Dems who called themselves Dems becuase they hated Abe Lincoln, who was a Republican before that became an obscene word. Then LBJ - A Democrat, pushed through a number of civil rights laws in the 60's that created the Republican Southern Strategy. Look it up, fucktard.)

Smarter trolls, please!

The only Republican Civil Rights achievements after Lincoln were during the Eisenhower Administration, dickwad (and he's the guy who warned us about the Military Industrial Complex, which would get him excommunicated from the party nowadays, anyway).

You are consuming valuable resources. I recommend suicide.

the reality they fail to get is that most of have Hispanic relatives by now.

They're here, they're Hispanic, just like Jim Crow, it's over.

There's very little in this Fox rhetoric that isn't cribbed wholesale from anti-Irish, anti-German, anti-Italian garbage from a hundred years ago. Assimilation? A hundred years ago, they were screaming that the Wops and the Krauts weren't learning English and never would. Same old, same old. Nativism never really goes away. But it is the protest of the powerless: they never win, either.

I love it, KK. It's like the bible-thumpers I run into all the time prove to me that God exists. After all, He's all over the Bible.

OMG. I finally saw the whole strategy.

The American Taliban isn't really waging a war on contraceptives. They want to stir it up so that liberal thinkers like me will get outraged at stories like this and want to retaliate by having lots of procreation-free sex. And while we're so busy exercising our rights not to get knocked up, they'll continue to procreate. So that soon, the conservative babies will take over the world.

Gah. I don't think I'm quite ready to have lots of babies for the Left. I guess it's time to give more money to Planned Parenthood.
