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:
Karen S, You make a lot of great points but I’m taking issue with this; “On another note, Assad with his lisp always reminded me of the villain in “Night at the Museum – Smithsonian.” A lisping, cultured agent of evil, only he really was a bloodthirsty villain.” And then you post a BBC link? You may as well get your news from NPR.
stevegroen, Pardon me but I believe you missed the point of the article which is the endgame. Maybe a One World Government appeals to you. Maybe you want to give the 1% (GLOBALISTS) much MORE power and control than they already have. This Syrian crises and in fact every crises orchestrated in the Middle East and elsewhere furthers the agenda of achieving just that. I’m continually surprised that more people don’t know what’s coming…don’t have the big picture. Do you think the New World Order is a bizarre fantasy dreamed up by people with nothing better to do? The evidence is so overwhelming, like I’ve said before, it’s only confused, uninformed, or wilully ignorant people who are unaware of it.
Quotes from the Rappoport article:
“There are also restrictions on what Swedes can say about the invasion. Political correctness rules. If this isn’t troubling, I don’t know what is.”
“Free government services are paid for by taxes. Let’s not forget that. So the extremely high tax rate will jump even higher.”
“I’m reading reports of violence and rape in Sweden—crimes committed by the new immigrants. From what I gather, even speaking about or publicizing these crimes is a violation.”
“How long will it take to achieve the goal of somehow “integrating” a new population, most of whom have no intention of blending into the prevailing culture, some of whom plan to take it apart?”
“The challenge for Globalists [THE 1%] would be to somehow hold it all together and propagandize it as a new social-justice utopia. Free speech, of course, would be banned.”
Yes, yes every single life is precious. Yes, yes, we should all be as compassionate as we can be. Yes, yes, we should also put on our own oxygen mask before assisting others. No, no, we don’t help others by going down with the ship. We help others by fixing the damn ship.
We could adopt some of these anchor babies and take them to Planet Remulak. It would help Remulak and it would help the helpless, tired, poor, huddled masses which the U.S. does not want anymore. I think I will start with the folks at the SNL demonstrations. If some disappear do not blame Obama. And for Christ sake don’t blame The Donald. We took down that Russian plane for Putin and Obama so that they now have more public support when they bomb ISIS. If radar or satellites show a “flash” it was a Remulak “retraction”.

Is it acceptable to mention Globalism here? In light of the TPP and countless other world events that are common knowledge I hope that the ostrich’s don’t come out of sand squawking, “She’s a conspiracy theorist! She’s a conspiracy theorist!” Because let’s face it; anyone who’s not is really confused at this point.”
Thank you for the link. From reading Rappaport I sense it’s act now or Swedish homogeneity is at risk: the horde is coming to the coalition of the willing. We’re all human beings, and we need to act like it. If there’s something more special about Swedish culture than saving the life of a single human being in Syria, I’d like to know what it is.
In the meantime, the US gifts Israel ten million dollars a day. Let me repeat that: $10,000,000.00/day. What’s so special about an Israeli as opposed to a Guatemalan or Salvadorean that warrants such a gift?
stevegroen – Israel has nukes and is a friend in the ME.
Paul writes, “stevegroen – Israel has nukes and is a friend in the ME.”
That’s a fairly linear response. No? Why does Israel have nukes, and why is Israel a friend in the Middle East?
Why you think they’re a friend is beyond me or is that just cliche? No friend of mine would resort to the type of repression seen in this persuasive video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch5XlEZoi1c&index=22&list=WL
It’s worthwhile to watch it in its entirety.
steveg – do not have time to watch in its entirety. Israel has nukes because it designed and built them, we did not give them to them. At this point, I would say that Israel is a frenimy with Obama and Kerry and Co. in charge. Clinton just insulted their Premier yesterday, so if she gets elected, relations are not going to improve. Expect another Pollard incident.
And I do not agree with the assertion that immigrants are somehow different. Our immigration policy shouldn’t be wealth or work prioritized.
Well Steve, we must agree to disagree here. These immigrants are different because they are ILLEGAL and have not gone through the legal immigration process as have hundreds of thousands of others who have LEGALLY immigrated to this country. Do I think our immigration process is in need of reform? Yes. I do it should be streamlined and more efficient and NOT allow criminals to enter the country and NOT allow people whose temporary permission to enter has expired to remain.
Our immigration policy should definitely be work prioritized. New Zealand has a good template for immigration. You must be qualified to contribute to society, have skills that are needed or show that you have the means to not be a burden on the country. Each application is carefully scrutinized. And when you do get in, you don’t get to drag along the rest of your worthless extended family with you.

Currently the invading hordes from the South are either unskilled or low skilled. They are driving down the wages of legal citizens by working under the table. They are not vetted in any way and the rise of third world diseases is happening. They are uneducated. They are a HUGE GIANT drain on the social welfare system, which is going to bring this country to its knees.
The mere fact that they are here illegally, makes them criminals.
Again. If they don’t have to obey the laws, if they get rewarded for breaking the laws, if we turn a blind eye to this…..then our laws mean no more than a bucket of warm spit and WHY should I or anyone else obey any laws….ever?

In AMERICA, this is called “contributing to the delinquincy of a minor, and “child abuse”. These “AMERICAN” kids need to be protected from abusive parents. In AMERICA, “child abuse” can be mental and emotional abuse just as easily as physical abuse. Child Abuse and Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor are legitiimate legal grounds to have children taken away from their parents by Social Services . Those are our AMERICAN laws.
These kids should be taken from their abusive parents and placed in Foster Homes where they can be nurtured and raised up as good ,productive AMERICAN citizens to reach their fullest potential. If their birth parents are legal residents/citizens they should be prosecuted and put in jail for their crimes against their own children. If they are “illegal Immigrants” they should be deported according to “AMERICAN” law and sent back to their home country.
The upside in all of this is with the help of the AMERICAN system,just maybe these AMERICAN children will get a good AMERICAN education and a good AMERICAN upbringing, by good AMERICAN role models with good AMERICAN values. like love of GOD and country, hard work, good citizenship and respect for others.
After they reach the age of consent, if these AMERICAN childresn choose to stay here, maybe, just maybe they’ll grow up to appreciate AMERICA the BEAUTIFUL.and realize that AMERICA must be preserved, protected and zealously guarded from those who wish to degrade, invade or destroy us. Hopefully they will come to come to know that The AMERICAN Dream is a hard-fought continual work-in-progress for which all AMERICANS bear some responsibility to take part in with the best of iintentions and regard for one another,
Hopefully these children as they contrinue into adulthood will strive to make positive contributions to AMERICA for the future of their own children those wishing to immigrate, live and assimilate into AMERICA according to our laws, culture and language and partake in the AMERICAN DREAM
BananaGrower:
Your moniker brought to mind my visit to a conventional banana plantation in the French Caribbean. The packers were covered in fungal outbreaks, circular lesions all over their bodies. They treated the bananas with anti-fungals, which of course led to the rise of resistant fungus, which were so virulent they infected the workers.
Eat organic.
Guatemala was a perfect storm of just about every disaster that could possibly befall a country, not the least of which was a government that didn’t care at all about what happened to its people.
Lord have mercy! And I thought TRUMP was a fighter! Ben Carson hits it out of the park.
The CIA played no small role in the Guatemalan “civil” war – otherwise known as a coup. If you are aware of broccoli being dipped into pesticides, you must know about our interference in the Americas. You worry about communism. How about the oligarchy – 72% of the land is owned by 2% of the population.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/04/opinion/04schlesinger.html
Anyone care to verify the claims made on this video?
I forgot to mention that United Fruit Company was a major player in the Guatemalan civil war. It owned huge amounts of the country. And the Guatemalan Latinos, descendants of Spanish colonials, were really prejudiced against the Mayans, and stole their land through contracts the natives could not read. There was land snatching, communism, unaccountable government, racism…an ugly mess that went on for decades.
Oh, and it is this history of poorly regulated farming in other countries producing contaminated vegetables and fruits, which is why I strongly want to preserve American farming.
steveg:
Can you explain your position on the US’s responsibility of for the bad economy, corruption, and crime in Latin America?
I’ve always blamed a culture of corruption, lack of accountability, and out of control spending. Here is a brief overview of the financial meltdown of Latin America in the 1970s. We have so many examples of out of control spending crippling countries – Greece, Mexico, Cyprus, etc. That is why fiscal conservatives like me feel like we’re Aesop’s ant preaching to thoughtless grasshoppers about reigning in the government spending. Because we will not be the exception to this rule.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_American_debt_crisis
One of the major problems plaguing Mexico is that its government doesn’t seem to care about the effects its trade deals have on its citizens. For example, American companies send toxic waste to Mexico, where it is poorly regulated and contained, contaminating ground water frequently, as well as toxic pesticides banned in the US. Then Mexican farmers use those pesticides to grow produce, which we then import back to the US. Although we have laws that supposedly protect us from this, routine testing discovers banned substances in vegetables grown in Mexico. And that means that farm workers are literally getting poisoned. If I remember correctly, my ecologist relative helped an indigenous tribe in Latin America that was being poisoned by a large American Ag corporation. They had contracted with them to grow broccoli with pesticides that were banned in the US. Not being educated on toxins, these farm workers were dipping broccoli starts into pails of noxious chemicals by hand. The rate of birth defects, cancers, and other illnesses skyrocketed. My relative discovered a way for them to grow the broccoli without the chemicals.
Although the American company was reprehensible for knowingly putting human beings at risk by this practice, the foreign government was responsible for letting it happen. It’s their job to protect their citizens, just like our own EPA protects us as best it can. We do not allow Chinese manufacturing to set up shop in San Diego using banned toxic substances. That government had zero accountability for its citizens; it just wanted the money, just like any corrupt person or government.
The governments of such countries are corrupt and unaccountable, and its their people who suffer for it.
Zinn would be proud of his disciple’s comment @ 6:34p. Zinn believed that when it doubt, blame the US. Blame the US often, and loudly. This is reason #253 why I don’t discuss Zinn w/ Zinnheads, and only discuss any topic w/ trepidation. And hell, ISIS[or ISIL if you’re an Obama cultists] is only the Jayvee. I didn’t realize the Jayvee could bring down commercial airliners, but if Obama says it then it must be true.

Well, thanks for putting me in the Zinn pocket. I belong there, and, remember, that it wasn’t me who misrepresented himself with regard to his factual assertions.
As for Obama, I’m not a fan. He’s a sell out to the business class and his financiers. The bailout is enough evidence of that. Then there’s drone strikes killing innocents and the assassination of Osama Bin Laden, ad infinitum and in the footsteps of his predecessor, none of which he was empowered to do legally. So, let’s talk about illegal immigration and the evil criminals invading our country from the south.

You may find this BBC article interesting. It talks about our crippling indecision about Syria, playing both sides of the fence, and the difficulty with Syria being of no tactical importance, as well as the rebels not being Mother Theresa. We wanted to support democracy, but as you know in the Middle East, there is no black and white all good vs all evil. The rebels we wanted to support against the extremists were not exactly models of human rights and democracy, either. It becomes more of the-enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend, but because Syria has no strategic importance, we calendared most of our involvement for May 32 of never.
On another note, Assad with his lisp always reminded me of the villain in “Night at the Museum – Smithsonian.” A lisping, cultured agent of evil, only he really was a bloodthirsty villain.

Karen S, thanks for the BBC article. My first reaction is this: more regime change on grounds of democracy. Democracy? We don’t even have a democracy.
We have no business disrupting the internal affairs of another sovereign. And I disagree with the notion that Syria is not important strategically to anyone not living there. It’s so important that Russia is now in Syria to protect a future oil and gas pipeline to the Mediterranean while at the same time the US and euro nations have an embargo against Russia, and Saudia Arabia has reduced oil prices affecting Russian exports, to starve the Kremlin into submission.
The question one has to ask: why are we destabilizing countries all over the world including Ukraine, Mexico, and those of Central and South America and of the entire southern and eastern rim of the Mediterranean?
I agree with Darren and Professor Turley. These children are being used as pawns in a reprehensible fashion.
I do not think “articulate” means what Montgomery thinks it means.
All of the arguments given for illegal immigration are actually applicable to legal immigration. There is no rational argument for having an open border.
I have remarked before that I would not vote for Trump. However, non-PC personalities are very valuable, in that they start the nation talking about issues. I also find many comments that Bill Maher has made to be reprehensible, and yet he, too, breaks down PC borders, and his contribution has value. It is immaterial what percentage, if any, of these personalities’ views I agree with. Merely ignoring the limits of PC is beneficial to national discourse.
I think the reason why Trump has done so well in the polls is that voters are fed up with career politicians. None of the career politicians are doing very well. I, too, have stated that we should throw all the politicians out and start afresh. On the other hand, politicians do not stand a good chance in this election, regardless of what they have accomplished.
Gotta be Rove.
