1. In the LA Times today-Schwarzenegger Language-Advocacy Link Is Criticized

Schwarzenegger Language-Advocacy Link Is Criticized
The candidate for governor is called on to sever ties with U.S. English. Some leaders of the group have been accused of racial agenda.
By Greg Krikorian and Joe Mathews
Times Staff Writers

August 30, 2003

Arnold Schwarzenegger is coming under growing criticism from civil rights groups and immigrants' advocates for his 16-year membership on the advisory board of U.S. English, a Washington-based organization that bills itself as the nation's largest group dedicated to preserving English as America's official language.

For much of Schwarzenegger's tenure on the board, U.S. English Inc. has been dogged by accusations that the group's day-to-day leadership has used its English-first message to hide a more racially divisive agenda.

Seizing on evidence of the group's ties to extremist groups, the country's oldest Latino civil rights group — the League of United Latin American Citizens — called on Schwarzenegger Thursday to quit the U.S. English board.

Other civil rights groups have followed suit, saying that they see a pattern of antipathy to immigrants in Schwarzenegger's service with U.S. English; his support of the 1994 ballot initiative Proposition 187, which would have cut off public services to illegal immigrants in California; and his selection of that proposition's key proponent, former Gov. Pete Wilson, as a campaign co-chairman.

2. Arnold Cronkhite and David Horowitz (yes, RW'er Horowitz) quit the board
of US English when they discovered that its foundere was a racist lunatic.

But not Arnold.

And they apparently hired a guy whom Arnold might not have known, but US English certainly knew had deep connections to the KKK. (This was reported on Democracy, Now!)

3. How come he supports English only and refuses to be American only?
He holds dual Austrian and American citizenship. How come no one questions the rightness of this sort of patriotic choice? What America not good enough for you, broken English boy?

9. Evan Bayh, when he was Indiana Governor, supported English only
A measure making English the official language was passed in Indiana, with Democratic support, and to the chagrin of many Hoosier progressives.

"Shame" only applies to when the GOP does it, not when the Democrats do it!

Sorry folks, but racism is racism whether there is a "D" or an "R" after the politician's name.

8. People that live in glass houses should not be throwing stones
I won't go into Cruz Bustamente's unfortunate, or Freudian slip, use of the N-word at an African-American public gathering, or his membership as a youth in an alleged racist Hispanic organization.

I will mention the coddling of anti-Semites by some Democratic candidates for President. The Cuban-American National Foundation (CANF) is being courted by one or more Democratic candidates for President. The Washington Post recently published a story about the leading Democratic candidate appearing to endorse the US embargo on Cuba. The embargo is the litmus test that CANF demands from politicians.

There is no excuse for a Democratic candidate to support the US embargo on Cuba. The embargo is a crime against humanity.

The Miami Mafia, aka Cuban-American rabble of CANF, are a hate group and are also well known anti-Semites. One of their goals is to replace Castro with a Christian fundamentalist government, one in which the only official religion is the Catholic religion, not the Catholic religion we all know in America, but the Spanish-based Opus Dei version of it.

I find it astonishing that a leading candidate for the Democratic nomination would be ignorant of the anti-Semitism of CANF. The only time the Jews were not subjected to persecution or harassment in Cuba was during a brief Marxist fling Cuba had in the 1920s, and after the victory of the Cuban Revolution.

Before we point fingers at the sins of someone's father, we better take of our sins. Having the Democratic Party support an anti-Semitic organization is a far bigger sin than whatever Arnold's father did during WWII.

People that live in glass houses should not be throwing stones!
