Depriving Hannity, Dobbs, Glenn Beck of Free Speech Rights? No Worries at the NYT

On the New York Times's political blog this morning, Ariel Alexovich reported in a very mild tone on a very shocking speech by National Council of La Raza President Janet Murguia -- "A Call to End Hate Speech."

By calling to end "hate speech" (an inflammatory phrase the Times doesn't put in quotation marks), Murguia means that anyone harshly criticizing illegal immigrants -- specifically, mainstream opinion-makers like Sean Hannity on FOX News and Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck of CNN -- should be removed from the air waves.

"The head of the country's largest Latino civil rights organization called on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News to stop providing a forum for pundits who consistently disparage the documented and undocumented Hispanic immigrant population.

The group, the National Council of La Raza (meaning 'the people'), also has asked Mike Huckabee to renounce the endorsement of Jim Gilchrist, a co-founder of the Minuteman Project, a private organization dedicated to preventing people from illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border."

Actually, "La Raza" translates to "The Race," a strange name for a purportedly anti-racist group, but Alexovich spouted The National Council of La Raza's propaganda line that it means "the people."

Speaking at the National Press Club in Washington on Thursday, Janet Murguia, the N.C.L.R. president, said that anti-Latino remarks on the big three cable news networks are insulting not only to minorities but also to the greater American population.

"It's personal, it's intolerable, and it has to end," she said.

She listed Glenn Beck, who sometimes appears as a commentator on CNN as well as hosts his own radio show [actually, Beck has his own show on CNN's Headline News - ed.], as one of the worst offenders. Last June, he suggested that America create an alternative energy source out of the bodies of illegal immigrants.

Such talk has serious consequences, Ms. Murguia said. She cited an F.B.I. report which showed a double-digit percentage rise in violence against Latinos since 2003. What's more, these negative feelings towards Hispanics carries over into U.S. legislation.

"Very often they're taking their issues straight from some of the hate groups that we just described here, so that actually these words that go out from the hate groups get turned into campaign strategies and political strategies," said Cecilia Munoz, an N.C.L.R. vice president.

Other major "vigilantes" that need to be kept in check are CNN's Lou Dobbs, and Fox's Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes -- and most of their guests.

Who's the group's favorite Republican? But of course.

Ms. Murguia didn't directly endorse any candidate or, for that matter, any political party. However, she had kind words to say about John McCain, the arguable front-runner in the Republican race. Mr. McCain's plan to handle immigration does not involve the deportation of all illegal immigrants.

Near the end Murguia called for depriving immigration critics of First Amendment rights. Again, no quotes around hate speech, as if the Times is simply assuming that what Murguia smears as "hate speech" truly is.

Ms. Murguia argued that hate speech should not be tolerated, even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment rights:

"Everyone knows there is a line sometimes that can be crossed when it comes to free speech. And when free speech transforms into hate speech, we've got to draw that line. And that's what we're doing here today. And we need to make sure that network executives will hold their people accountable and not cross that line.

Times Watch is unable to detect in Alexovich's posting a single raised eyebrow at the thought of Murguia's frightening dismissal of free speech. It's a particularly bizarre omission coming from someone who works in journalism.

Americans can trust that if even one of those News Sources named by the National Council of La Raza President Janet Murguia was guilty of any type hate speech they would be gone, down and out of the media before Murguia has even gotten out of bed to read the morning news. America would see to it first.
Freedom of speech in America is one thing, killing America in the name of Mexico and La Raza is another.

Funny how having a different point of view is now suddenly hate speech. Wonder how willing she'd be to translate the actual words we hear everyday from her people? Only reason the get away with it is because we don't understand it. Those that do say it's too disgusting and awful to repeat.

Deny First Amendment Rights guaranteed every American in the Constitution? What hubris! To call for any American to be denied the right to speak comes from one who believes she/they have the power to quiet our voices and overrule the Constitution. The audacity and arrogance goes beyond anything even they have ever previously said or done. Once again, she/they attempt to deceive and play down their own group title, LaRaza-the race, which by it's very name is racist. They attempt to promote their own racist agenda and again omit the key word "illegal" from every discussion we have. You and your racist groups, Ms. Murguia have crossed the line and it is you and your groups that need to be deprived of your hateful remarks and actions. "YOU CANNOT HIDE THE TRUTH AND YOU CANNOT HAVE OUR COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!

Notice the translation of la raza is ''the people'' never seen that one before-guess'' the race'' might give away that they are racist calling outer people haters

That might be the one and only reason I would be willing to learn Spanish, so I'd know what they are saying. How can we fight the unknown? We can't.

La Raza is getting so wakko it's getting impossible to take them seriously.

Def

That might be the one and only reason I would be willing to learn Spanish
