Media Needs to Bust-a-move on Bustamante
By Matt Margolis | August 20, 2003
Bustamante is up in the polls for the recall in California. I really paid little attention to the California recall because of the circus it has become. However, information recently discovered by me thanks to an article written by Michelle Malkin, has made me really concerned about what’s going on.
Malkin’s article tells very disturbing things about Bustamante which made me realize just how serious now the recall is – if he wins, the State of California will find itself in a state of complete disarray, and the state of our union will suffer as well.
Bustamante has ties to a racial separatist group called Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA), which stands for Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan. Malkin notes that it is “one of the nation’s most virulently racist organizations.”
Malkin wrote about MEChA:
…it operates an identity politics indoctrination machine on publicly subsidized college and high school campuses nationwide that would make David Duke and the KKK turn green with envy.
Just goes to show you (again) that certain forms of racism are more equal than others.
MEChA members in the University of California system have rioted in Los Angeles, editorialized that federal immigration “pigs should be killed, every single one” in San Diego, and are suspected of breaking into a conservative student publication’s offices and stealing its entire print run in Berkeley.
That’s very nice, not only does the group support homicide, but also censorship of different points of view.
…its motto is ” Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada (For the Race, everything. For those outside the Race, nothing).
Could you imagine if the gubernatorial recall front-runner had ties to a white supremacist group with a similar motto?
The MEChA Constitution calls on members to “promote Chicanismo within the community, politicizing our Raza (race) with an emphasis on indigenous consciousness to continue the struggle for the self-determination of the Chicano people for the purpose of liberating Aztlan.” “Aztlan” is the group’s term for the vast southwestern U.S. expanse, from parts of Washington and Oregon down to California and Arizona and over to Texas, which MEChA claims to be a mythical homeland and seeks to reconquer for Mexico ( reconquista ).
To put it simply: they want to flood the United States with these people and take over our country. They are the Chicano equivalent of Nazis.
Does Bustamante find himself accountable for his ties to this organization? Schwarzenegger get ragged on for the alleged affiliations of his father the Nazis, but Bustamante remains unscathed by the media to address his past and present ties with this organization. Trent Lott gets shamed out of his leadership position in congress for saying some kind words to the late Strom Thurmond who was once a part of the Dixiecrat Party, Meanwhile Robert Byrd, former member of the Dixiecrats remains unblemished for this part of hist history as well as his membership with the KKK. Al Gore single-handedly rewrote his own father’s life story by suggesting that his father was huge advocate for civil rights, even though he was also a part of the pro-segregationist Dixiecrat party.
So let’s just say for the sake of discussion that a man’s past is a man’s past and what we do in college isn’t necessarily a reflection of one’s present day values… We’d like to believe this is the case, and I’m sure such a case will be made on Bustamante’s behalf in the event of widespread media exposure on his MEChA ties, but then we must once again look at Trent Lott, and the criticism he received.
True or not, I don’t know, however, I’m not holding my breath for TIME to write such an exposé on Bustamante. He clearly was unaffected during his campaign for lieutenant governor – do I really expect that things will be different this time? Not at all. The media ought to get onto Bustamante – he has some explaining to do.

I posted about this on my blog too.
See, I think the main qualification for whether someone would be a good governor is “unwillingness to give the state to another country.” With Bustamante, it seems like that isn’t one of his priorities.
