It is always surprising to me how some groups can snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. At a time when calls for a crackdown on illegal immigration have been largely ignored, Deportracism.com, a Latino political action committee (PAC), has succeeded in eradicating any moral high ground that it once claimed in the debate. The organization released a disgraceful advertisement using children who make obscene gestures and profanity against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. If they were seeking to diminish Trump, they succeeded in precisely the opposite: making him look very statesman in comparison to their insulting, profane use of these children.
The three young children are shown saying things like “F*** you racist f***,” one young child says to Trump while holding up a middle finger. Two children go on to say: “Yo, Trump. You may be high in the polls. Thanks to pinches racist suckers but you’re all going to have to come thru me if you try to deport my abuelita m*****f*****.”
I wonder what an abuelita would say about adults teaching kids to speak like this and make obscene gestures.
While most people are appalled on the videotape below, the group continues to proudly market the video and also offer $5000 to anyone who would interrupt the Saturday Night Live performance of Trump. It is entirely clueless. While most groups are seeking to show undocumented people as hardworking and respectful citizens, Deportracism is striving to fulfill every stereotype of their critics.
The group has scoffed at objections that it is teaching children to be disrespectful and profane. After releasing the video entitled, “Trashing Trump: Latino Kids Pound Racism Like a Pinata,” the director of the video, Luke Montgomery insisted that:
“The adorable and articulate kids in the DeportRacism.com video are using bad word for a good cause. What’s more offensive? A four-letter word, or a Republican presidential frontrunner who is calling Mexican immigrants ‘rapists’ and ‘drug dealers’ and referring to American-born U.S. citizen kids as “anchor babies” and talking of changing the constitution to strip them of their legal rights as Americans?”
Well, most of us were raised not to use bad words for good causes or bad causes. Even those of us raised differently, were overwhelmingly raised not to use “adorable and articulate kids” — or any kids — to convey our vulgar ideas or statements.
Not only does Montgomery appear unable to distinguish good and bad actions, he also seems unable to distinguish between good and bad press. He insisted “It’s the reason so many media outlets are talking about it and the message from the Latino kids about Trump’s racism is being heard in a great way.” Here’s a flash for you, Luke, the press is about you and your organization . . . not Trump’s message. You have given Trump precisely what he could only have dreamed: taking the high ground and portraying his critics in the worse possible light. The offer of $5,000 reward to anyone who disrupts this week’s “Saturday Night Live” episode produced the same bad press not just for the group but all of Trump’s critics. That is quite a success story for Montgomery and his group.
According to conservative sites, this is the same person who previously went by the “Luke Sissyfag” and used other videotapes of profane performances by children. What is fascinating is that this guy is everything that his critics could want in a foul-mouthed, disgusting advocate. What I cannot understand are the parents who lent their children to be used in this way. Likewise, there are clearly donors who think that this is a productive way to engaging Trump on the immigration policy debate.
Here is the video if you have the stomach for it:
I love the conspiracy theories. They could be right but based on this clown’s background, not very likely. He’s left wing.
I predict Luke Montgomery will be charged with child porn in the near future. He seems obsessed with children he can get to speak vulgarities. Maybe it’s his fetish on public display. Disgusting.

On what planet do people advocating breaking the law have the moral high ground?
VM: Correction. We are one nation under Dog. God spulled backwards is Dog. On the 8th Day God Created Dog and Sent Him To Earth To Give Guidance To Man.
The “origin of the species” is a good phrase here. It kind of reminds me of the Russian airline crash in which the bombing was probably a Putin crime done to inflame the Russians against ISIS. Here The Donald might be behind this. Now the rest of America will see the video and say: Throw those friggin Mexicans out! Especially the kids. Flip them the bird when they are across the border looking back. Mister Gorbachov: Build up that Wall! Oops. Mister Trump: Build up that Wall!
This will give Trump a five percent boost in the New Hampshire polls.
Next we will need some Muslims to come out after The Donald.
I am watching SNL tomorrow night.
Now, someone just posted a comment above which suggests that this must be a Republican ploy. I agree.
Guys like this can make a mark with those who are already sold, but not with those who are wavering.
I wonder why main stream media and liberal websites ignored this story. Is tolerance applicable to certain people only? I did not see any politician coming out against using children in this type of obscene activity. Are we losing our values of mutual respect and civility? I am not a fan of Trump but as one like many others who love this country I do not want to see us becoming enemies of each other. Yes political differences are there but beyond that we are all belong to one nation under God.
This must be a secret Republican ploy.
Trump should open SNL by ‘interrupting’ himself by saying “DeportRacism” and force this idiot to pay him $5,000.
If the Hispanic community doesn’t step up and go after these guys, Trump will have more ammunition. It’s appalling and pretty typical of people who believe they are on a mission and that no matter what they do pushing forward that mission is good because they do it. This attitude has lead us into war and in “olden times” toppled a president.
And I thought these Cheech & Chong videos were immoral.
Whatever. It’s one dumb video. More to follow I’m sure.
Donald Trump is bribery personified: he’s admitted — buoyantly — to buying favor with politicians and therefore having his voice rise above all other constituents of said politicians. And now he wants those same voters to vote for him, because he’s not able to be bought.
Am I missing something.
He’s essentially taking a stand against himself, with such stupidity that it drowns out what should be his disqualifying hypocrisy.
By the way, don’t fail to foresee what will happen: Trump is going to run for president in every future election until his last breath. Get ready for it.
Media attention somehow gives him leverage in business; and the easiest, most influential method to acquire international attention is to run for president, arguably the second loudest bully pulpit in existence.
This empty buffoon doesn’t warrant consideration: he warrants investigation into his admittedly corrupt business dealings.
The Kardashian of American politics, he is.
I don’t understand why the producer would have these kids use such offensive language. It completely detracts from the message and is so unnecessary.
Luke Montgomery has been around since Bill Clinton was president (see AIDS).
If you google him you’ll soon see he’s done plenty of very similar videos.
However, this was so far out there, and I get it, but his true audience are really vagabonds and art students, not general voters.
He over shot his cause. The Hispanic community – legal and illegal – won’t go for this at all. He’s actually hurt a lot of people, but I don’t think he cares.
People already in the Trump camp are buckling down, those who were sitting on the immigration fence (pun intended) will jump off for Trump.
Not one major outlet is showing this – even Huffington Post won’t put it up, they all know any attention this video gets will only help Trump.
If anyone tries to disrupt SNL for the $5k Trump will handle it well – he’s practiced and ready for it. NBC will have extra security on hand..
This reminds me of the time Alex Jones lost it on CNN Piers Morgan, topic was guns.That worked very well for Alex Jones, and the people who are into guns loved it, this will not do the same for those who support Hillary, especially the NEA – the idea of children using this kind of language is more than a challenge for their members as it is and any teacher who shows this video in the classroom will be fired or put on Administrative Duty.
Using children in this way is not an American value, it’s boarder line abuse. I have to wonder if the parents actually understood what they were subjecting their children to. This being the information age it won’t take long to find the parents and the children.
As to the involvement of children, I think Child Protective Services should investigate this spectacle. It’s not hard to imagine a political advocacy group thinking this was a good idea. However, it is unimaginable that the parents of these kids thought it was a good idea.
Unfortunately, I work in Berkeley, CA. I’ve heard the same and worse from the children of some of my liberal co-workers. For shame, everyone involved. For shame.
Reblogged this on Scoop Feed.
Their director, Luke Montgomery seems more like an agent provocateur.
So lame you have to wonder if it could possible be one of Rove’s dirty tricks!?!? How much is Trump paying them?
When Trump declared that Mexico is not necessarily sending us its best, all one needs to do is to view this video to understand the veracity of his opinion. The demented morons, who allow, command and encourage these very young kids to engage in the use of vulgar and inappropriate words, in an effort to prove a point about Trump, have, instead, proven Trump correct in his assessment. The best and the brightest of decent parents would never allow their innocent, little babies to engage in such behavior, which borders on child abuse. Only criminals, masquerading as parents, would back such a project. Chalk one up for the Donald. The best free publicity he could ever wish to have, handed to him on a silver platter.
Adults should not involve children in advocating political positions. At this age they do not have the capacity to form their independent positions and are being used as pawns to further their parents’ political beliefs. It is in a sense taking advantage of their youth and innocence.
