Democrat Loretta Sanchez (CA-47) is being challenged by Republican Van Tran, who is of Vietnamese descent. Sanchez made news when she said:
"El Viatnamese y los republicanos tratando de tomar distancia de nosotros este asiento."For our Vietnamese readers, here is what she said:
"Các Viatnamese và Cộng Hòa đang cố gắng để lấy chỗ ngồi ra xa chúng ta."For our readers who did not get with the program and only understand the language of Anglo-centric cultural imperialism, watch the video (first take off your beer helmets and put down the cheese fries, please, we wouldn't want any accidents):
Left Coast Rebel is all over this and has background on the tight race and Van Tran.
Can you imagine if Van Tran had said something along the lines of "let's take the seat from the Hispanics"? There would have been a mainstream media firestorm.
The coverage is growing slowly because Tran has not let the issue drop and the right blogosphere is pushing it, but nothing near what would have happened had the perp been a Republican.
There is no better example of mainstream media bias, and how Democrats get a pass when they use racial politics to motivate their base.
If I were an American of Vietnamese descent, I would ask Sanchez the following questions:
- Ai làm bạn Queen?
- Bạn đã bao giờ nghĩ về những gì bạn sẽ làm gì khi bạn có để có được một công việc thực sự?
- Có một trường học nơi họ dạy cho bạn để nói chuyện tào lao như thế này?
Đừng để cửa hit bạn trên đường ra.--------------------------------------------

ReplyDeleteMaybe she thought Republicans wouldn't know Spanish.
ReplyDeleteStephen - That is exactly what she thought.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone explain to this young woman that you can be proud of your parents and still be proud of the country in which you live? The country in which you are seeking political office to represent people who have different backgrounds than you? Who might possibly feel an allegiance to the USA? So should you, Loretta.
ReplyDeleteLet me at that racist...
ReplyDeleteProf Jacobson, you really expect this logic stuff to make an impact with those to whom the dialectic is all?
ReplyDeleteWhat an iconic story !
Nó có thể trở thành khó hiểu rất nhanh nếu mọi người chỉ mới bắt đầu tiến hành kinh doanh của mình trong tiếng lạ khác nhau.
ReplyDeleteGet back,

Great post, Bill. This thread could stay alive until next Saturday Night.
Hopefully, Van Tran will be able to say--in a language Sanchez will understand--hasta la vista, baby!
ReplyDelete"Maybe she thought Republicans wouldn't know Spanish."
ReplyDeleteIsn't that great when they think we don't know Jack?
This Puerto Rican Conservative can tell ya, we're FULL of surprises!
Pues, yo sí soy republicano y hablo español. Esta ladrona Loretta Brixey es oportunista nada más. Cambió su nombre público para hacerle trampa a la comunidad hispana y ganar votos. Cambió partidos para ganar una elección. Se coloca bien en el mismo espacio que el Quisling Arlen Specter.
ReplyDeletePuedo ver noviembre desde mi casa. También veo el Condado de Orange desde mi casa.
Translation: Sanchez is an opportunistic, racist traitor who changed her party affiliation and her name to pander for votes.
I think you know the rest.
I am so glad I no longer live in California.
