Kansas City Star: La Raza Hispanic Activists More Desirable Than Patriot Minutemen?

Which would you find more desirable in your community: a group that advocates to abide by U.S. law, or one that advocates to break U.S. law? Well, leave it to an American newspaper to present a story as if a member of a group that advocates for America is a less desirable person in the community than a member of a group that promotes ideas against America. In a story on the La Raza Council's threat to move their annual convention out of Kansas City, Missouri, the Kansas City Star has labeled the patriot group The Minutemen a "militant group" yet nowhere is there harsh labels in their story for La Raza, the Hispanic illegal immigrant advocates. In fact, La Raza is treated like a completely respectable organization throughout the story with the Minutemen treated as if they should be something to be ashamed of.

In June, Kansas City mayor Mark Funkhouser appointed Minuteman Civil Defense member Frances Semler to the Kansas City park board and this has caused the illegal immigrant advocates to threaten to take their convention business elsewhere.

The nation’s largest Hispanic rights group is warning it may cancel its 2009 convention here because of a controversial Kansas City park board member.

As it turns out, this park board member is "controversial" because she wants Federal immigration laws enforced.

The story goes on to call the patriot organization, The Minutemen, a "militant group opposing illegal immigration" and warns that the city would lose up to $15 million in business (coupled with the NAACP pulling their convention, as well) should the La Raza folks pull their convention out of Kansas City. The story gives the La Raza group quite a bit of space to act wounded and regretful that they have to leave the city... unless they are successful in forcing a Missourian legally appointed to a city board to resign.

“It is very troubling that we would be in a position to reconsider but in fact we are,â€

I'm tired of "racist," "bigot," "xenophobe," "nationalist," and this Terrible Twos La Raza rendition of blackmail - give us what we want or else.

I hope La Raza takes their presence out of every city in our Country! Kansas should wash their hands of them.

Wow that is a gross story! But it is blindly the truth that La Raza is treated better then the Minutemen! The Minutemen protected the country in the 18th century from foreign invaders and now they are doing the same in the 21st century! They were seen has enthusiastic, reliable and strong! They are great Patriots then and they are today! There protecting there homeland and families so what the problem I ask ya?

There is, indeed, something troubling here. That a group based outside of Kansas City should imagine they have the right and power to tell a city who they can and cannot appoint to their city parks board. Now THAT is "troubling," don't you think?

LaRaza has NO business interferring in the appointments of Kansas City's staff members. It is OUTRAGEOUS!

Sadly, not a one of the Kansas City politicians quoted seem outraged that this outside group is making threats to the city over the make-up of a city board and trying to force their outsider's opinions on the operation of the city.

I guess Kansas City politicians like standing in line behind all the other politicians that will NEVER BE ELECTED AGAIN because of their lack of a backbone.

I'd like to suggest a site for La Raza's convention - the deepest, darkest, and hottest corner of Hades, and frankly, the sooner they and all their sympathizers get there, the better!
