HEY SPLC!: Anti-racism is more malignant than racism!

Note: I started this a while back and never finished it. Considering my current physical limitations, I'll clean it up and post it.

I'm on a Fisk. I'm going to post an entire editorial from the Southern Poverty Law Center, Morris Dee's despicable group of cultural Marxists, and take it apart for your closer scrutiny. This is important: I'm going to highlight in purple, boldfaced type, each and every word that the SPLC's weasel- editor, Mark Potok, uses to inflame or distort. Hover over the links in bold, red type, for additional comments.

It is important for regular-Americans to become very educated to the tactics of irregular-Americans. The sooner we all recognized them for what they are, the sooner we can marginalize them into irrelevance. And so, I'll begin:

SPLCenter.org: The Immigration Backlash

Five years ago, the tale of Roger and Don Barnett was everywhere. Virtually every major news outlet, from network and cable television channels to the leading newspapers and newsweeklies, described how the brothers, frustrated with illegal immigrants crossing their Arizona border ranchlands, rounded up thousands of men and women at gunpoint and turned them over to immigration authorities.

Let me ask you, what would you do if thousands upon thousands of trespassers of any ilk came through your yard and left it looking like this?

And what would you do if the authorities did absolutely nothing about it? Would you do something about it? I would hope so. Would you act to stop the trespassers even if the President the United States insulted you for acting on your concern? I would hope so. Would you give a rat's ass about the complaints and tantrums of moonbat groups like the ACLU, the SPLC, MALDEF and others who make a living enabling these trespassers to harm your property, your family, your neighbors, your community and your nation? I would hope not.

Any illegal alien who, in the process of invading the United States of America "looking for a better life," infringes in any way upon any American citizen's guaranteed right to life, liberty or pursuit of happiness has no standing to even enter into a discussion of his or her "rights" while still on my nation's sovereign soil. And shouldn't those who facilitate the infringement of these "inalienable rights" be considered traitors?

The coverage was sympathetic. The brothers were frequently depicted in downright heroic terms, as two men struggling against a human tide that was leaving fences cut and property littered.

There is absolutely no basis for this claim. Period.

What was almost totally ignored in the national news reports were quiet but persistent complaints that the Barnetts and others like them were actually bigoted, dangerous vigilantes. Even the accounts of U.S. citizens, allegedly stopped at gunpoint on public roads, were forgotten.

If there were "quiet complaints" how on earth could they be deemed "consistent complaints?" By whom? By the SPLC? By LaRaza? By the tin-foil hat brigades? Don't you just love when self-proclaimed "editorialists" make such utter fools of themselves?

In late November, a lawsuit was filed that threw a different light on the Barnetts. Five U.S. citizens, including three girls between 9 and 11, alleged that Roger Barnett, accompanied by his brother and wife, used racial slurs, pointed a loaded and cocked AR-15 rifle at them, and threatened to shoot.

Well, the Barnett's have already won one lawsuit filed against them. And I doubt they will lose the second.

A deputy sheriff's report said that the group, a family of four and an 11-year-old friend, were hunting deer when they were confronted by Barnett on what they thought were public lands. Barnett cursed the family and was "extremely agitated and angry," it said.

Deer hunting? With three pre-teen girls in an area widely known not to be safe because of the Mexican Coyotes, Drug Smugglers and "accidental" incursions by the Mexican Army? Really?

The deputy cited Roger Barnett for eight felony counts of aggravated assault and 10 misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and intimidation. At press time, Cochise County officials were reviewing the case for possible prosecution. In the past, the county has seemed extremely reluctant to press similar charges.

I can't find a record of this. I'm not saying the charges weren't made, I'm just suspicious because the information source in this case is a scumbag SPLC representative.

From Arizona to Georgia
The Barnetts, of course, are innocent unless and until proven guilty. But their case is a stark reminder of a growing national problem: the often-violent backlash that has developed against immigrants, especially those with darker skin.

Oh my! He's decrying the human nature of peoples' preference for their own kind, visual cues being among the first and most reliable indicators. These cues are followed by language, physical mannerisms, and a host of other traits that people pick up on, often subconsciously, because every individual in our species - for reasons that upset the SPLC - has a propensity to act in the manner that is most likely to promote the survival of those closest to him or his tribe.

Was this a "growing national problem" before there were 20 million illegal aliens here? Would the SPLC be equally appalled if there were 20 million illegal alien Russians who were being similarly shunned? Perhaps, but probably only if there was a Ford Foundation Contribution behind it. But I would be just as angry about the invasion of Russians as I am of Mexicans, especially if Vladimir Putin had his government publish and distribute "how to illegally enter the United States" manuals.

In this issue, the Intelligence Report takes a hard look at the immigration backlash on another front - Georgia, one of the Southeastern states that have seen unprecedented levels of demographic change in the last decade (see The Battle of 'Georgiafornia'). Day laborers, in particular, have become the victims of a wave of criminal violence in the northern part of the state, and the situation seems to be growing worse by the day.

I wonder if the SPLC would ever write an article about the Americans who live within a couple miles of the border who often wake up to find illegal aliens in their homes, destroying their property or causing other sorts of mayhem? Oh, who am I trying to kid? No I don't wonder if the SPLC cares about people like me. I know the answer. I know that the SPLC cares more about these people than it does about my family.

"The kids who committed these crimes had grown up listening to people saying that Hispanic people were lower forms of life," Tisha Tillman, Southeast regional director of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, told Report writer Bob Moser.

How on earth does she know this? Hell, this isn't reporting, it's a MALDEF fundraising letter.

"We know what kind of effect that rhetoric has. Day laborers are the canaries in the coal mines for immigrant communities. ... When they're being targeted, you know there's something seriously wrong."

I'd say that American Citizens harmed by illegals have been coal-mine canaries for far longer than "Day Laborers" have. And quite frankly, my people are more important to me than Mexicans. If Mr. Potok was being attacked in a dark alley by some unknown masked assailants, and with him were three groups: his family members; people from his neighborhood; and, a group comprised of assorted strangers, he'd do what he could to protect the first two groups before he'd consider assisting the third.

How remarkably politically incorrect we are as a species when survival is the issue.

Nativist reaction to Hispanic immigration has not been limited to vigilantes. Ordinary Americans, often prodded by the ugly rhetoric of hate groups and their allies, are increasingly joining in the hue and cry.

Ordinary Americans are us, bubba.

Proposition 200 and Beyond
In early November, voters in Arizona passed a harsh referendum aimed at undocumented workers by a 56% margin - despite the nearly universal opposition of their political, business and opinion leaders. Even the revelation that the highest profile activist behind the referendum had brought in a known white supremacist to head her national advisory board didn't seem to bother voters.

Wow. The SPLC doesn't even have a clue about how far normal humans will go to protect their relatives and similars.

Proposition 200 requires proof of citizenship to vote or to apply for any "state [or] local benefit" - a phrase that could mean everything from food stand permits to library cards to housing assistance. Most remarkably, it threatens state workers with fines and four months in jail if they fail to inform federal officials of any non-citizen applying for such benefits.

Laws! Enforcement! And Fines! Oh My! I don't think we're in Kansas any more Toto.

As a practical matter, critics predict that the law will lead to singling out Hispanics for constant public challenges to their citizenship.

I kind of like a counter-balance to my being constantly challenged by not meeting the criteria of some asinine "diversity" set-aside or quota.

Proposition 200 was almost immediately stayed by a federal judge, who warned that it could have "a dramatic, chilling effect upon undocumented aliens who would otherwise be eligible for public benefits under federal law."

And it would keep them from voting too!

But that didn't kill the thrill that referendum results sent through anti-immigration activists around the country. Already, efforts are under way in four states - California, Colorado, Idaho and Georgia - to pass legislation similar to that in Arizona.

More! Si Se Puede!

Such laws will almost certainly exacerbate the "us and them" mentality that often leads to violence. And that could affect many people, including 9-year-old Angelique Morales, still terrified by her encounter with the Barnetts.

Actually, asshat, your multiculturalist agenda is responsible for every bad thing that happens between factions of "others" in this nation from now on. Every time something bad happens to an American because of illegal aliens; every time an illegal alien is harmed by another illegal alien; every time an American is denied a vital medical procedure because his hospital cut back because of it's uncompensated care burden; and, every time an American child is denied an opportunity to learn in the very best environment my tax dollars can provide because of pro-illegal-alien demands for compassion, I'll be thinking of how heinous and vile the SPLC is, and I'll be thinking of you Mr. Potok. And I'll say a prayer asking to be forgiven for what I'd like to do to you and your despicable allies.

"I feel angry, scared, shocked, worried and confused," said the little girl whose dad is a six-year U.S. Navy veteran. "I feel scared because I thought we were going to die."

And I feel angry because people like Mark Potok are screwing with my child's future in the name of erasing her heritage in favor of people whose ancestors made no contribution to American liberty.

Closing note: This languished as an unposted draft for quite a while. I thought it a bit over the top. Perhaps it is. But the fact that perhaps it isn't over the top is cause enough to let it fly.
