Guerra and Gutierrez are Mexican where it matters--in their minds. If they love Mexico so much, let them move there. They won't have the right to free speech in Mexico. And as far as a statement being in the past and no longer applicable, screw you artbrooks. There, that was a couple of seconds in the past, so let's just forget about it. And why isn't the "gringo" talk addressed by any of you brainiacs? That's a derogatory term. What would you do if I were talking about "niggers" or...what's that term arch-racist Jesse Jackson used to use...oh, "Hymie Town." Yeah, what if I were peppering my posts with those words--would that be defended on Mudcat? Below is a link to some other loving statements from hispanic community leaders:

Man, the easiest people in the world to dupe are the academics and the "liberals." With liberals, you just have to focus their attention on an individual. Show little Juan suffering in the Arizona desert while he invades America for "a better life," but just don't mention the oppressive conditions that drove him out of Mexico. And don't mention that it's understood he'll work to "extend" Mexico because, well, the animals who drove him out of the country still patrol the streets of his family's village with automatic weapons. Just type in 'Oaxaca teachers strike guns' to see how Mexico treats its public servants. Here's a bit about a recent incident:

...Later that day, gunmen ambushed and opened fire on Triqui indigenous members of the APPO near Putla in the Mixteca region of the state, killing three people and wounding two; the Triquis were on their way to an assembly meeting.

Also that day, federal and state agents dressed in civilian clothes and armed with AR-15 assault rifles, beat and detained a leader of one of the largest organizations in the APPO, the Popular Revolutionary Front (FPR), German Mendoza Nube. Nube has been wheel-chair bound since 1987 when he was shot in the lower spine. He also suffers from severe diabetes. Two friends and neighbors were helping Nube get out of a car and into his wheelchair when the armed men pulled up in three cars and immediately beat him and threw him into the back of a pick-up truck...

The next day, Thursday August 10, the APPO convoked a march to demand the liberty of Torres Pereda and Mendoza Nube. Around 12,000 people marched toward the occupied CORTV station when they were ambushed in a narrow stretch of Morelos Avenue around 7:15 at night. Gunmen shot from both sides of the street, wounding three people and killing one. Jose Colmenares, a 50 year-old mechanic, joined the march to support his wife, a junior-high teacher from Ejutla. A gunman who ran out into the street shot Colmenares in the neck and heart. He died minutes later.

Marchers detained at least 8 suspects, and found a pistol, gloves, police boots and jackets in the house and health clinic from which the shots had been fired. Protestors set fire to the house to force hiding gunmen out, but they appeared to have escaped, and within half an hour protestors allowed firefighters access to the house. Firefighters extinguished the flames within minutes.

In the town square, tourists continued to sip coffee and listen to roaming mariachi musicians apparently oblivious to the gunshots and flames only a mile away....

At least the thugs who work for the Mexican government aren't nancy-boy bicyclists like they have in Seattle. And you smug Canadians better take note that Seattle is pretty close to you. And those angry Mexican mobs are being held by cops wearing shorts and riding around on bicycles between lattes. Looks like Canada is going to be part of Azlan, too. Get your asses back to Europe, gringos.
