Navarrette: Dobbs, Limbaugh feed hatred of Latinos

RUBEN NAVARRETTE JR. The San Diego Union Tribune Some of those who rail against illegal immigration can dish it out but they can’t take it.

For the second time this year, a major American nativist group has splintered amidst a welter of accusations of financial improprieties and mismanagement.Dissatisfied rumblings from officials in the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps (MCDC) turned to a roar this May, when MCDC President Chris Simcox responded to questions about his financial accountability and “micromanagement” of MCDC with a purge. Calling their request for a May 19 meeting an attempted “palace coup,” Simcox, well known for his authoritarian leadership style, peremptorily fired three national officers, one regional leader, and 14 of MCDC’s 27 state leaders. The ousted leaders responded with a public ….Read More
