Clinton Fights Back Against Spanish Radio Ad

ABC News' Kate Snow and Eloise Harper Report: Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign is fighting back against an ad that is all over the airwaves on Spanish radio in Nevada.
The ad, in Spanish, says in part: "Hillary Clinton does not respect our people. Hillary Clinton supporters went to court to prevent working people to vote this Saturday – that is an embarrassment."
It calls Senator Clinton "shameless" and says the fact that her allies were fighting to stop voters from being able to participate in caucus sites at casinos on the Las Vegas strip was "unforgiveable".
"Senator Obama is defending our right to vote. Senator Obama wants our votes. He respects our votes, our community, and our people," the ad concludes. "Senator Obama’s campaign slogan is "SÃ* Se Puede, SÃ* se puede." ("Yes We Can"). Vote for a president that respects us, and that respects our right to vote."
The ad is paid for by a pro-Obama labor group which represents 450,000 members across North America called UNITE HERE. The organization represents a largely immigrant workforce.
The radio advertisement is in heavy rotation on Spanish language radio, including on "Super Estrella" and "Tri-color" in Las Vegas, where an ad traffic manager says it is running twice an hour. A sister station in Reno, KSRN, is also running the spot.
"Every single sentence is a personal attack on Hillary Clinton," said Maria Echaveste of the Clinton campaign, speaking to reporters on a conference call this afternoon.
Echaveste called the ads "misleading" and "outrageous". "Particularly by saying in Spanish that Hillary Clinton does not respect Latinos. And that is just so far from the truth that it makes my mouth drop," she said.
"This kind of a personal attack, a misstatement of the record, is distracting," Echaveste said.
Dolores Huerta, a Clinton supporter who helped organize Hispanic farm workers alongside Cesar Chavez, said the ad was "a really desperate attack" on the part of Obama supporters.
Huerta said she’s been organizing Latinos for fifty years and has never met Senator Obama in person.
"Barack Obama has never had a relationship with the Latino community," she said.
"In all of my works, I’ve been in Chicago and throughout the country, I’ve never met Senator Obama," Huerta said. "People don’t know who he is. In fact they say ‘Como se llama?’ ‘What’s his name?’"
Huerta said it was "pathetic and sad and unfortunate that they have to stoop so low.

If Hillary really wanted to win this election, she would be against Illegal Immigration, and she would have been fighting it all along.
There are more of us against Illegals, than there are illegals that will be able to vote along with Hispanics.
We need to get organized about getting everyone we know registered and to the polls.I'm "Dot" and I am LEGAL!

Divide and conquer, divide by ethnics, conquer by the lack of unity. Language is what unites us and that's the last thing the destroyers of America want.
Rockfish, you nailed it. Divide and conquer has been used throughout the ages and is being used now just as it has in the past to divide the people so that they cannot come together and go after the REAL threat!Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God

Senator Obama doesn't care if they have the right to vote as long as they vote for him. Clinton doesn't either, but the union that controls the illegal vote chose Obama. Obama has guaranteed amnesty within the first six months Clinton will only commit to doing her best to make it happen. According to her; The president can not make it happen, they can only use the limited power of the position to convince Congress.
