Michelle Malkin: La Raza claims a scalp

Malkin has found an unsurprising result of hounding, on the part of one group, of a public servant:

This is a damned shame. Drummed out of office by the ethnic mau-mau-ers because of her affilation with the Minutemen:

Frances Semler, the Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners appointee whose membership in the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps caused a political controversy for Mayor Mark Funkhouser, has resigned.

In a statement faxed to area media outlets, including The Kansas City Star, Semler writes “ENOUGH, I am resigning.” In the letter she cites repeated and ongoing personal attacks against her character as a reason, and blasts her most vocal opponents and levels her own criticisms at Kansas City Police Chief Jim Corwin and unnamed City Council members, saying some on the council have made “vicious, false and irresponsible claims about me.”

It gets worse, though:

Funkhouser in June appointed Semler, a neighborhood association president, to be the sole Northland representative on the five-member park board.

The appointment triggered sharp protests from several minority organizations, including the National Council of La Raza, In October, of La Raza voted to pull its convention from Kansas City, at a projected loss of $5 million, because of Semler’s connection to the Minutemen, a divisive group that takes a hardline stance on immigration issues.

As I was reading the article, I couldn't help noticing the description of the Minutemen as "a divisive group." Ummm. Query: Which is more divisive, a group determined to see that the laws of the land and the independent nature of our country are maintained upheld, or a group which defines itself clearly by its name, La Raza ("The Race")?

Somebody's editors ought to be ashamed.


I'd say some lawyers and racially-charged political groups also ought to be ashamed, but then, I've noticed that racists like the leaders of La Raza have no shame.
