A Guy in Two LAs

As a Spanish language student living in a largely Spanish-speaking neighborhood, I suppose I'm something of a resident of one Los Angeles, and regular tourist of the other.

Yesterday, Mayor Villaraigosa addressed Spanish-speaking Los Angeles at MacArthur Park. Unlike his recent speeches on the Griffith Park blaze, this one bore less semblance to the version he prepared for English-speaking Los Angeles.

“Good afternoon, Los Angeles! We are here. We are here and we are not leaving...”



~~~

Blood in the water

A reader points out that the Mayor's message wasn't well-received by all residents of Spanish-speaking Los Angeles. As reported by KNX radio, at one point the speech was interrupted by a crowd of protesters shouting "Vendido" (sellout) at Mayor Villaraigosa and radio personality Piolin (who was chased into a La Nueva van).

Seems that despite a marathon of apologies, demotions, and groveling, there are those who won't rest until Chief Bratton's head rolls.

Gotta love the KFI guys who blasted the Villaraza Mayor and tore apart his speech in Spanish. Love John Ziegler who said Antonio is such a dumb ass he told the crowd in spanish 'we will speak against the gov't." What a moron! HE IS THE GOV'T. LA will become a santuary just like Maywood with illegals flooding here and further ruining this city. They are breaking the law but Antonio -Mecha boy tells them its ok. No where else but LA would an ignorant Latino mayor say such stupid things. KFI has promised to air his speech over and over and said HE WILL NEVER BE GOVERNOR. Not will all his womanizing baggage, affairs, corruption etc. that nat'l media will slam him on. I can't believe Antonio is so uneducated and looks like a greasy, sleazy Mexican out of the barrio.

You are a racist. And I don't like Antonio but not for the reasons you stated. Fortunately you are a minority racist. Are you even from LA? I doubt it. It's hard to imagine so many ugly white people live in this city. I will not imagine it. You must be from Long Beach

Villaraigosa is the mayor of the illegal aliens from Mexico. His ethnocentrism is a turnoff to everybody else.

9:17 is a MAV supporter planting borderline-racist comments to give the WWG (and his ilk) fodder for the next sympathy piece. I can see the headline now. . .

Look so cool you know with the hydraulics so when he does the protest gigs he could lead
The marchers with the low rider bouncing on down the protest path

10:59 He does have a low rider show on Olvera Street coming up.

Antonio Watch. why don't you report the whole story? Ch. 4, 5 and 11 reported Antonio being drowned out by protestors calling him a vendido - sell out. This is what happens when you try and please everybody and have a "boxed" speech for every constituency in L.A. - thanks to Parke Skelton's tell them what they eant to hear philosophy. Remember during the mayoral campaign the different speeches Antonio would make to different communities. He would make Hillary proud. The only thing Antonio is good at is lying. He is the protypical, post Clinton era politician. He will lie for the most minscule of reasons if it will get you to llike him - and he does it with no hint of conscious. But he isn't that great of liar - although he is the best out there. If he were a great liar he would still be with his wife.

Racist??? We're Latinos and because we don't support the illegals in this city you call us racist? Antonio's old days of activism showed the entire Nation his cholo, gang banger, uneducated barrio mentality. He sounded as if he as in front of all the brown beret radicals at the rally. That speech is being sent to all national media outlets and then some. The spanish media aired it but the dumb ass English stations here who kiss his butt were too afraid. That's why they are losing viewers. People now go to cable news like MSNBC, FOX, CNN, etc.

Why are the White people afraid of illegal aliens?

White people abandoned Europe now the Arab Muslims are invading their countries.

Whites invaded the New World now the Latinos (A Mix breed of Natives and European)are taking back their lands.

Maybe the Whites should stop complaining like little bitches and cross the Atlantic Ocean to defend their countries that did not give them opportunites back in the columbus days.

Complain all you want, at the end of the day it is what it is.

Whites are destined to become the global minority, deal with it bitches.

Sure it is, the fact of the matter is whites can not take change lightly.

Whites who are not wealthy are the ones who keep complaining.

The rest of us who are wealthey weather we are Latino, Asian, Black or White do not give a jack ass about illegal aliens and Villaraigos.

Villaraigosa is our puppet he follows the money that will get him re-elected.

Illega aliens, majority of them are like your ancestors they are looking for a better life and want to give their children a better future.

Just like my family and those who work hard and smart. SO STOP BITHCING GET TO WORK OR TAKE YOUR WHITE ASS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!

Illegal immigrants take advantage of the free services our taxes provide. They get free health care, education, welfare, food stamps, etc. They have babies and then get free milk, cheese, cereal etc. while the hard working legal single moms who pay taxes don't get shit. They need to have ICE buses at every march these criminals attend. Maybe they'll get the message and go back home. The killings in South LA are getting out of control with blacks and Latinos killing eachother because of the drug territory issue. Blacks hate the illegals for taking over their community and now taking their drug customers. But the Mayor says that's not the case. Idiot!!
