Shedding Some Light on Bustamante's Dark Activist Past
Pssst!
Guess what.
Cruz Bustamante doesn't just want to be governor of California.
Have you heard?

He's got ties to an allegedly racist, separatist Latino group called MEChA. Sure, he might act and look like a governor once he takes office. But that would just be a front.

Behind the scenes, Cruz "Bandolero" Bustamante would wage war on the gringo, carrying out a bold plot to return California and six other Western states to Mexico.

snip>
"Are you also a member of MEChA?" one reader demanded, assuming that because of my last name, I might be in on the revolution.
Actually, I'm not a member of MEChA. But more and more, I do like the idea of creating a separate state.

What I'd like to do is take all the yahoos who have nothing better to do than circulate paranoid e-mails and regurgitate every hysterical inanity they hear on talk radio, load these folks onto buses, and create a hideaway for them somewhere in Death Valley, or preferably Idaho.

2. I would strongly contemplate secession too if I was getting robbed
upwards of 58 billion dollars a year. I would contemplate the same thing if I was the New York State Governor.

3. the racist puke mothafuckers are crawling out
of the woodwork here in Riverside Co, like the cockroaches they are.making reference to Mexifornia, and the iminent Meskin takeover of California, if bustamate gets in , they think that they can hold off 'wedging" the Gays til 04, so they are spewing all thei venom at Chicanos er Hispanics.
It will come back to haunt Arnold. He is being called the Mexterminator, and hasta la vista latinos. The link to Pete wilson is being exploited fully.I'm sure one of our DU'rs will link us to some of these pictures soon.

4. This does not apply directly to Bustamante, but to California.


In the Latin Grammys ceremony, the master of ceremonies (George Lopez) said that the Latinos would not vote for Schwarzenenegger because they would not vote for somebody who spoke worse English than they did! (I think this joke only works with a Latin audience, otherwise it might not be PC enough).

7. Don't forget the Right Wing Hate Radio
Idiot by the name of Jill Stewart on KFI in Los Angeles (home of the most famous naked pix talk show host, Dr. Whorra) refers to Cruz as "THE FRITO BANDITO" and other asses have picked it up...

8. Someone should tell her that Frito Lay was forced to pull that ad
campaign because many people complained that the images and the words frito bandito were racist.
