I am not a murderous racist that would harm immigrants or minorities in any way as Mary Schulken has depicted me in the Charlotte Observer on June 5, 2008.

I hope that the readers of the Charlotte Observer never have to learn what it feels like to wake up to the phone ringing because friends and family members from Western NC are calling to inform them that Mary Schulken just used her position as an Editor of the paper to compare them with a fictional Hollywood character that called people "******s" and enjoyed assaulting or murdering immigrants.

It is my firm opinion that Mary Schulken still bears malice towards me because the last time we met in political battle the results were the removal from office of many of her extremely liberal friends on the Greenville City Council. Furthermore, she knows that I'm no "Bill the Butcher" from Gangs of New York and that I used to work to elect some of the first minorities and women to office in certain parts of this state.

What a shame it is that the Charlotte Observer is allowing Schulken to abuse her position, in order to pursue her personal vendetta and radical pro-illegal alien agenda, by attempting to mislead readers about who I am, and what I stand for.

While she misleads readers and ignores the fact that I, and my organization ALIPAC, fervently work with Black and Hispanic Americans, as well as legal immigrants and the fact that I share nothing in common with the fictional racist and murderous "Bill The Butcher".

I hope that the Black and Hispanic supporters of ALIPAC, as well as our legal immigrants will come to my defense against this terrible injustice, perpetrated by Mary Schulken and the Charlotte Observer.

Not only is Schulken lying to readers, but she is defaming my character to such a degree that a reader that did not know better might feel that I would want to physically harm someone because of their race, thus creating a Clear and Present danger for me and my family as candidates for assault and possibly lethal violence.

The Charlotte Observer should take immediate action to correct this situation and issue a retraction and apology, and tell readers the truth about me. Mary Schulken should be terminated from her position for intentionally lying to your readers, abusing her position, and defaming my character to a degree that puts me at risk of physical harm.

“I don't see no Americans, I see trespassers, Irish harps doing a job for a nickel a ****** does for a dime and the white man used to get a quarter for.â€

This is just complete.... what comes out of a Bulls backside!
There needs to be a major email campaign to the paper and a general post to drop subscriptions to this toilet paper rag.

An estimated 380,000 illegal immigrants live in North Carolina. It's true they broke the law to come here. It's true they put pressure on our publicly funded law enforcement, public schools and health care resources.

How about the ID Theft/Document Fraud that many [a majority?] IAs do to land these jobs? (and, of course, the credit histories, the legal costs, the court costs, etc involved in cleaning up all the mess?)

That number is so low, it does not comport with ANY estimate of IAs I have seen in the last couple years for NC - not even close.

But they also perform jobs that are vital to our economy – and our communities. Most of those jobs are hard, dirty, repetitive and dangerous. That's why most of us don't want to do them.

...At the slave wages that most [illegal?] employers want to pay...
"Vital?" Really???

I would be banned from this sight if I said what I wanted......Can someone tell me why the biggest racists and terriorists get a green light and regular citizens can't even voice an opinion?

I e mailed this to them:

This article was at best a slanderous comparison. This writer has proven herself misinformed, less than truthful and a complete disaster to the Charlotte Observer. There should be a retraction immediately !!

This yellow journalist fails to acknowledge all the ALIPAC group wishes is to see the laws enforced and the end of preferential treatment to illegals. I do not receive free medical care, free college tuition, food stamps, etc.. I am forced to pay top dollar for those services, as well as top dollar in North Carolina taxes; yet I do not receive any of the benefits.

Schulken says: "An estimated 380,000 illegal immigrants live in North Carolina. It's true they broke the law to come here. It's true they put pressure on our publicly funded law enforcement, public schools and health care resources.

But they also perform jobs that are vital to our economy – and our communities. Most of those jobs are hard, dirty, repetitive and dangerous. That's why most of us don't want to do them."

She may wish to be informed that I own a floor covering store and on a weekly basis, I have approximately three to four groups of non english speaking hispanics wander in looking for work. Contrary to Ms. Schulken's propaganda, these are not jobs that Americans do not want to do. Our installation jobs pay well, are limited. The influx of illegals in North Carolina and their ability to undercut the payscale of N.C. taxpayers seeking the same job; has had a serious impact on our industry and our economy. There are always greedy little people looking to pay less for labor, cash under the table, etc. Ms. Schulken is probably one of those.

Illegals need to migrate here legally. They cannot begin a new life in a new country as law breakers, and N.C. MUST stop encouraging them to do just that.

Mary,

How appalling and shame on you. Your written opinion and projection of "Bill the Butcher" onto William Gheen is the embodiment of meanness.

I swear, I can't stomach watching the Gangs of New York movie. It’s vile, violent and emotionally disturbing.

Since you seem to understand character references, why don’t you try one on for size?




Bloody Mary (Mary Tudor) which sat on her thrown, and with impunity unjustly persecuted and violently executed everyone that did not agree with her ideologies.

William I would seriously look into a defamation lawsuit against the author and the paper.

I'm sure you are aware of these but if not here are their links.

If nothing else they can guide you to someone of expertise in that type of law.

I do know one thing . W did not deserve this brow beating he got.
Now i'll try Mr.Thames , again !
talked with Madeline (she didn't even know of the piece ?) for a few minutes and she put me over to Ed Williams =Voice mail . I spoke my piece again and i suspect it will get deleted without even hearing it .

Dear Mary,

Thank you for taking part in keeping the illegal immigrant slave trade alive and well in America. I'm sure members of the U.S. Chamber of Plantation Owners, most of congress, George Bush, Barack Obama and John McCain (Lets not forget the drug lords in Mexico) appreciate your efforts.
Thank you for supporting the underclass of people we use to do jobs Americans refuse to do for penny's on the dollar.

Sleep well in your ivory tower Ma'am.
