HOW MANY RADICAL GROUPS CAN YOU BE ASSOCIATED WITH BEFORE YOU ARE LABELLED A TERRORIST? APPARENTLY QUITE A FEW... THIS TERRORIST HAS BEEN OVERTURNED 70 PERCENT OF THE TIME! WELL AT LEAST NOW, SHE WONT BE OVERTURNED ANYMORE... NOW WE WILL HAVE TO REDEFINE TERRORIST TOO.

Let us all hear the hearings on her nomination before willy nilly believing any accounts for or against. Isn't that what judges are supposed to do listen to the evidence then based on criteria in the law rule in an unbiased manner.

This be-lingual education thing is garbage. It used to when people immigrated they wanted to learn English to assimulate(sp?). Now they want everyone to speak there language. This is not what America is about. We welcome you, but the language spoken in America is American Englsih. I'm not a racist. I'm married to someone that I got into America legally and not through lies and stealing.

I'm back in South Korea and my oldest is in first grade. She's speaks Korean, but is having some problem with reading. You know what they don't care. One of my students in school was born in Korea and just returned from America after fives years. You know what the Middle School doesn't care. Catch Up! That's it in the other countries.

America needs to stop enabling people. Grow up and do it the right way.

I'm a Latino, and I don't believe affirmative action has worked the way it was intended to!! I do believe that Sotomayor will rule with her heart and not her mind.. I would love to see a Latina or Latino on the highest court, but not her.. Just because she's a Latina doesn't mean she should be treated with kid gloves..

Not as extreme as MEChA, perhaps, but not far behind. Her association with Chicanos por la Causa, is also troubling.

"Everything for the race, nothing outside the race."

Sound familiar?

What an embarrassment to us Latinos the world over. We as Latinos have been afforded the tools available in America to succeed with out having to depend on a so called rights group. These rights groups are not a tool that will make you study to become a professional in your field of choice nor will they be able to feed and clothe you. I am tired of people like Cesar Perales saying we have been denied positions because of color. In 98 % of cases this not the fact. It is a matter of qualification and expertise. We have many Mexican, Black and Asian professionals in American society. How did they get in such positions? They studied and continuously worked toward there goals until their was no one around them better suited for a position for which they were aspiring. I know because I am one of these professionals that made it without the help of a rights group of any kind. I simply used the tools afforded to all Legal Americans and studied smart and gained the experience!

The 'rights groups' do not support rights but support 'agendas'. Universally, the agenda is leftist as if the opposing views are not 'rights;.

I do not believe Sotomayer is capable nor fair, not balanced, nor suitable for any court.
Like Obama, she was raised and bred for this and will be placed with expectations of her vote on major issues to align with the left.
The views of the left should be illegal and would be if good people insisted on it.

The GOP will label anyone negative including George Washinton and Abe Lincoln if they were alive today and didn't goosestep in line with their waspish and bias ideology.... Do you suppose Alito and Thomas would vote for a liberal cause..Hell no !!! They are most descriminating monsters on the supreme court...Stop being racists and let a decent American take her rightful position on the Supreme Court...The GOP havn't changed since they were kids..".I'm taking my football home if you don't play by my rules..." Vet and senior...

"Hispanic rights group" = racist, open borders anarchists.

They don't want equality for latinos (as if they aren't equal already) - they want latino superiority.

They're not fooling anyone, and neither is the ignorant racist Sotomayor.

She is a RACIST who clearly hates America and white, black, and asian Americans. I believe at least some of us here have done their fact checking and clearly some dont know that "facts" are, so wise up. Yes, the whole bi-lingual bit, is to keep the spanish speakers down, dont you understand that? If you dont speak English in this world you dont go very far. It is the most understood language around the world, except for chinese. However, most of chinese speakers are in one area of the world, China.
After this whole Michael Jackson freak show, I clearly understand now how Barry Soetoro won the election. Also, how people like Barney, Boxer, Feinstein, Kennedy, Waxman, Ginsberg, and others got to where they are, lazy, uneducated, brainwashed, drones.

My father-in-law has two master degrees and two B.A's and mom-in-law is "well educated" too, but my 9 year old niece has more understanding of how the world works than they. I dont know why this is or how it happens, but no liberal has ever, I repeat, ever come up with a logical argument for liberalism.

Racism rears its ugly head yet again. But white people thrive on that crap. Especially the extreme white folk. YAHOO BUZZ is a hot bed for this salt. Got the nerve to call latino support groups racist and yet a swimming pool doesn't allow blacks to swim and they say it's not racist. Some white people have not changed in the slightest. But that's the Convservodrones and Republithugs at their finest, racists spewing their mongering ways as usual. I can't stand looking at Rove, Cheney, or any of those that easily influence some of you white folk simply because you can't think for yourself. Your the dark spot on our society, But thanks be to the soldiers that fight for your miserable lives.

Thank God we have some schools that teach two languages...In most schools in Europe their kids speak not only their native language but learn english fluently as a second language by age 10 and 12 and sometimes 3 or 4 languages by the time they reach college....Only a ill-informed parent would deprive his child of learning two or more languages since it will be an important tool for him or her in surviving a very competitive professional world...Vet and senior...

I can't stand looking at or hearing Obama - and I've been a registered Democrat for over 30 years.

Not ALL of us are stupid enough to blindly believe what the Crook County Democrats tell us to believe.

Obama mastered the art of pandering - and the ignorant masses are his willing victims.

If people like Cesar had taken the same time and effort to promote the LEGAL advancement of latinos in our American society, this wouldn't be an issue today. Forced bilingual education has enabled the cause for people who are in this country ILLEGALLY.
Since when should an exam testing an applicants knowledge be considered unneccessary for a promotion? If you want to live in this country, go through the proper proceedure and learn english. The exam that is given to become an American citizen is not written in Spanish, or Vietnamese or Arabic.
Show some innitiative instead of looking for a socialist nipple to suck on.

I'm a white American.. I saw a lot of discrimination in my lifetime a lot of it in the South..."White's only" signs and "No colored Allowed" It was allover the South and your life wasn't worth 2 cents if cross the KKK or the local white police ...it existed in the North also and I remembered as a young boy in Chicago it was partition off where black were only allowed to live in their ghetto areas and same thing was designnated for the latinos....Chicago,,Detroit,,,Los angeles everywhere...I'm a white guy and yes we've made progress but not completely... Now for any white person to say they're being discriminated by a Latina with a clean record and endorsed by legal organizations as being just and equal in all her judgements,,,Well you just proven yourselves to be bonefide insane and unfit to be a part of the human race...Vet and senior...

I am not even going to comment on the other posts, everyone reporting AND posting have an agenda. What I read in the article makes me think, though. I quote;
"Conservatives have called the group's stances against capital punishment and for abortion rights, as well as its advocacy of affirmative action in worker discrimination cases, "extreme" and "shocking." Some have suggested Sotomayor's longtime association with the group is an indication that she is biased and would be unable to render impartial decisions as a Supreme Court justice."
I seem to remember the President had a meeting with the leader of a very large organization that had very similar views and was as militant about those views as any group I have ever heard of. But I don't see anyone calling for the impeachment of anyone associated with the Roman Catholic Church. hmm
Just saying.

This is a bigoted racist organization every bit as bad as the Ku Klux Klan. And in addition to being a White-=hating bigot, Sotomayor is a major Sexist. The whole lot of them are nothing but E. Colli with an accent.
