Bordering on criminal bigotry with this...

Hate rhetoric against Mexican immigrants and Mexican-Americans on Los Angeles radio and especially on Disney owned KABC 790 AM has become intolerable and bordering on the criminal.

Hate rhetoric towards border criminals borders on criminal. Heh. It's almost too much.

BORDER VIGILANTES: Popular Mexican Newscaster Threatened in Los Angeles

Los Angeles, Alta California - May 1, 2005 - (ACN) Jesus Javier, a popular newscaster on Spanish language television in Los Angeles, has been threaten by what appears to be anti-Mexican border vigilantes and/or their sympathisers. The situation in Los Angeles has been very tense ever since Disney owned KABC 790 radio station and other radio broadcasters undertook a campaign of hate against most anything that is Mexican. The constant harping by various radio stations against Mexican immigration took a sinister turn last week when Spanush language KRCA-TV Channel 62 placed a number of billboards along the area's freeways advertising their news program. The billboards, in Spanish, shows popular Mexican newscasters Jesus Javier and Erika Flores with the slogan "Tu ciudad. Tu equipo"("Your city. Your team"). The billboard has upset a host of bigots including Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger because the billboard show Jesus and Erika sitting in front of the downtown skyline, with "Los Angeles, CA" printed above but the "CA" is crossed out, and the word "Mexico" substituted.

KABC's Doug McIntyre delivers cheese for It did not take long for the area's anti-Mexican "hate jocks" and the Minutemen vigilantes to jump and capitalize on the issue. Among the most irritated are KABC's jocks Doug McIntyre and the shameless sodomite Al Rantel, both fervent supporters of vigilante leader Chris Simcox. Both devised a plan and conspired, while talking over the airwaves, on how to get back at "these Mexicans!". Doug McIntyre said to Rantel, in badly pronounced mimicked Spanish, "mandamos flores a las ratas", which translates into "let's send these rats some flowers". What happened next is chilling and brings into question the activities of the "Disney Company" and its agents. Doug McIntyre and Al Rantel utilized KABC's resources to organize a nefarious attack on newscaster Jesus Javier and Spanish language news. They drove, in a KABC company limousine, to Jesus Javier's office and placed a "funeral wreath" obtained from one of their advertisers, http://www.proflowers.com , in front of the Spanish news headquarters. They also placed a large chunk of fake cheese for, in KABC's own words, "las ratas".

Of most concern to the staff of La Voz de Aztlan, is a photograph that was received on Friday as an attachment to an e-mail (Photograph 3). Our news publication is accustomed to the many death threats we receive regularly through e-mail but this is the first time we have received a death threat against a newsperson of Mexican descent on another news service. The threat is a photograph of the KRCA-TV Channel 62 billboard with two alterations. A person or persons altered the photograph to show newscaster Jesus Javier with a bullet through his head. In addition, the word "RATA" is drawn in large red letters across the chest of Jesus Javier. Could there be a connection between the death threat against Jesus Javier and the KABC McIntyre/Rantel conspiracy to deliver the funeral wreath and fake cheese to who they nicknamed "la rata" over KABC's airwaves? We just do not know but we have very serious suspicions.

One thing we know for sure is that Disney's KABC has gotten out of control. Is the management of America's premiere "children's entertainment business" simply falling asleep at the wheel or are they in fact colluding with the bizzare and criminal actions of their agents at KABC 790 AM Radio - Los Angeles? We ask, why are Al Rantel and Doug McIntyre getting away with activities that border on the criminal? Why is the Board of Directors of Disney allowing these characters to utilize KABC property for activities that are so detrimental to society in general and to the Mexican-American community in particular? In addition, why is the Federal Communications Commission not taking any action to revoke KABC's broadcasting license and why is the Los Angeles County Human Relations Commission staying so quiet on the issue?

Another thing we know for sure is that the Mexican-American community is now sick and tired of the hateful propaganda against our community put out on the airwaves by radio stations such as KABC 790 AM-Los Angeles. The boycott of KABC's advertisers by the "STOP Anti-Mexican Hate Radio Coalition" is gaining momentum by the day. The coalition is now inviting other national groups who are also victims of "hate radio" to join in the effort. The situation is equally ugly for Arabs, Blacks, Muslims, American Indians and many other ethnic, racial and religious groups. Together we can STOP the hate mongers, the bigots, xenophobes and all those others who are utilizing the airwaves to foment hatred and violence!

So, who are the criminals, and who are the bigots?
