Obama: “I remember May Day”
Barack Obama is aggressively courting the Hispanic vote in Texas–and reminding Latino voters that he stood “shoulder-to-shoulder” with pro-illegal immigration activists during the massive shamnesty rallies of 2006:
“Whenever I hear folks talk about the “brown-black” divide, I remember my days as a community organizer, when I brought African-Americans and Hispanics together to fight a rising drop-out rate in our schools.”
“I remember my days as a civil rights lawyer, when I worked with my Hispanic brothers and sisters to protect our voting rights. And I remember May Day 2006, when I marched shoulder-to-shoulder with the Hispanic community to stand up for comprehensive immigration reform.”
I remember, too. Do you? Flashback- The pictures you didn’t see, May 2, 2006:
Protest Warrior Chicago exposed ugly, American flag-trashing advocates…

And a Che-approved, border-sabotaging message…

Reconquista in Albuquerque (credit: SharkJumper)…

And yes, it’s Che again peeking out behind the “Manifest Destiny?” placard…

SharkJumper also snapped this photo showing the protesters’ love for open-borders President Bush…

And it was May Day Che in Topeka (video hat tip: JD Johannes)…

Freeman Hunt photographed the Springdale, AR illegal alien rally. This one says it all…

Aztlan lives in San Ysidro, Calif. (check out the shield on the right)…

And Slapstick Politics in Denver saw a pro-illegal immigration sign-waver who makes the open-borders agenda crystal clear:

Now, having the much-honored first chance to comment on this story, I could make a “commie-pinko-clown” comment, but that would just be gratuituous. OOPS…guess I did it, huh?
I hope Obama runs on an amnesty position. That’s a loser proposition that even democrats are largely against.
So how did that fight turn out, Barizzle?
El Presidente, indeed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY…. IT HAS BEEN HIJACKED!
I’m sure Obama’s supporters will make sure there are plenty of translators for “his friends” to vote. Vans, with signs (Vote early, vote often), will be out to round up the “day laborers” so they can vote too. I’m sure Clinton vans will be competing for “their votes” also. On the next morning, the MSM will be happy to announce that the results show a huge approval for the democrats, with 110% of the voters getting out to the polls.
Nah. That is just the spin of their words, Chard. The Democrats, at least those in office, are highly in favor of bringing Shamnesty to fruition. They see it as a huge boost to their constituency.
But, I think most average Americans are opposed to it.
Oh. You must be expecting low turnout for the Democrats, Grayson.
Oh, forgot to add, “America is a Continent, not a country”. Yup. sure was, until the Spanish showed up.
Hmm. You’re right, Barry. My apologies. 135% would be more accurate.
Hillary and Obama LOVE illegal immigrants. 1/3 busting their hump to ship America to Mexico one peso at a time and 2/3 ready to sign up for welfare. All of them soon to be registered Democratic voters, a political shift that will ensure a Republican minority status for decades.
Illegals doesn’t seem to high on voters concerns when polled. I can not for the life understand why. They are in every state in America. They vote, drive without licenses, insurance, fill our prisons, rape, kill DUI, etc, etc. BHO is using the ‘race’ card for blacks and mexicans trying to get their votes.
L
You both forgot to add the ‘dead’ vote, bringing it up to 163%.
Sorry, forgot to link it.
‘Dead’
Monica Crowley’s blog, I’ve seen that movie too, a Distinguished Gentleman. Is Obama doing Eddie Murphy?

Meet Jose Perez-Padilla. doing the gang banging our people will not do.
Would someone kindly post the link:
we hate gringos dot com
I can never get it right and this is a very important site to go to. Try not to throw your coffee cup at your computer!
Thanks.
Vibeman, we didn’t bring up the “dead” vote because that would accuse them of vote tampering and ethics violations. However, getting illegals to vote…why, that’s considered patriotism!
I heard Obama on illegal immigration. He started off talking about securing the borders and penalizing employers who hire undocumented workers. Then he made the obvious point: you’re not going to deport tens of millions of people with jobs and families in the US. Americans are not that cruel. We don’t have the law enforcement capability to do it.
Stop hyperventilating long enough to admit that’s true.
Is Obama being followed with a video-camera, so that his statements can be used against him in the fall campaign commercials?
America is not a continent.
North America is a continent.
South America is a continent.
America is a nickname for the United States.
Hear that Al Qaeda? All you need to do is sneak a few Million in and we’ll let you stay so you can bleed us dry. You will also have the help of other Illegals that are curently bleeding America dry.
And I remember May Day 2006, when I marched shoulder-to-shoulder with the Hispanic community to stand up for comprehensive immigration reform.”
Does he remember another day? July 4, 1776 when the United States of America declared itself a sovereign, independent country? With laws?
Does he remember that there are laws saying who can and cannot enter the USA? And laws about how they can enter?
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
I don’t think it’s cruel or unrealistic to deport 10 or 12 million people who don’t have the right to be in this country. I think it’s cruel to to tell those people who truly deserve our tax dollars that there is no money there for them becuase 12 million illegal immigrants have used it up. I think it’s cruel to tell the mother of the 2 boys who died in that school bus accident that her boy’s would still be alive if that woman in the van would’ve been deported in accordance with the law, since she had no right to be here in the first place. I think it’s cruel to tell someone in the emergency room with their child that they have to wait 4 or 5 hours to be seen because the system is so backed up with illegals that it can barely function (as well as let the LEGAL American know that they’re tax dollars are paying for it one way or another.)
Not only that, but history has shown that when you start deporting illegals, many will leave of thier own accord. see ‘operation wetback’
You keep making the same lame talking points that Obama, Hillary, and the rest of the clueless are making.
It is possible to deport millions of people. In fact, the cost would be well below what those same illegals are costing this country every year.

A continent comprised of sovereign nations. How about that, lgm? Want to borrow a paper bag.
Wait a minute. That quote didn’t even say North America. That’s what I get for reading too fast, before responding.
America is a country! It just happens to sit on a continent with another country (one that regularly violates our sovereignty) that encourages its people to leave there and come here. Geez!
I feel sorry for that kid; she definitely did not look happy to be there.
Why pay money to go vacation in Mexico… Just come to Arkan-zatlan. Here in Arkansas, we are over run with Illegals. Schmuckabee made it his intent to turn Arkansas into a Sanctuary State…and I think it is too late now…our politicians are too afraid of the exploding Hispanic Population that any reforms will have a big mountain to climb, to be passed.
I agree with MrVIBEMAN that we can duplicate the success of President Eisenhower’s administration Operation Wetback. As soon as employers are punished and enforcement measures get the word out most illegal invaders will deport themselves and those that don’t we can help across the border. Once they rats flee we can stop any future incursions by sealing the border with a building triple layer fence with the liberal use of razor wire. After all good fences make good neighbors.
By the way historically the Spanish stole the land from the Native Americans except for the plains tribes that routinely kicked their butts. The warrior classes of the Shoshone, Comanche, Ute, and other tribes that kept most of Western America off limits to settlement until being overwhelmed by the Americans in the 19th Century. They never truly controlled most of their Aztlan paradise they say Mexico is entitled to in the first place, which they surrendered under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo after their defeat in the 1846-1848 Mexican-American War.
This sounds re-doable! For every deportation, there were 7-9 self-repatriations.
Kudos for the link, MrVIBEMAN!
I have a small problem with some of this. First, I agree…punish the employers of illegals. But, there will be more employers punished, and more and more, since the flow of illegals will not be stopped. Also, I think we should all start referring to our country as The United States of America. That way, they cannot just claim “America” is just a continent. With the employers being punished, when do the illegals take responsibility for sneaking in anyway? Again, the Americans will be punished, not the lawbreakers. Everyone claims they come here for work, blah blah blah. No, they are coming to take over. BUILD THE DAMN FENCE!!!
Our government no longer listens to it’s taxpaying citizens. They tax us so that they can give it to those who invade us. They give our money to mexico and any other nation that asks for it. They waste our money on pet projects in their home states.
The American taxpayer needs to go on strike! We should all quit our jobs and collect unemployment checks for 6 months. In most states they pay 70%-80% of your income. So we must tighten our belts, but it wouldn’t be the first time that Americans had to endure hardship in troubled times. Most of our parents or grand parents endured the depression and world war. The alternative is an armed uprising, so a strike would be a better first step.
Of course this will never happen because so many Americans don’t even bother to vote, let alone take a stand.
My pleasure Tiger.
Pro-illegals always talk about securing the border, since this is impossible. Why would a pro-illegal penalize employers? An obvious contradiction. The Democratic voter breeding program, or anchor baby program, is the best thing to ever happen to Democrats and anti-white racists.
It’s easy enough to get rid of the 30 million illegal aliens if the laws were enforced. The problem is corruption in Washington, not logistics. Illegal aliens are criminals just like other criminals, and so are corrupt officials like Obama and McCain for that matter who encourage illegal infiltration and human trafficking.
Without enforcement illegal infiltration is just getting started and will pick up momentum. Reagan’s amnesty brought in 30 million more illegal aliens, and another amnesty would probably mean the end of our nation and the beginning of just another Latin country like Mexico or Cuba.
I DO remember that day! I was sent a notice from our HR officers, declaring that any Latino who missed work that day got a free pass – no disciplinary action, no need to take vacation, no personal day, no sick day, no explanation.
Anyone who was black, Asian, white, etc., who missed that day of work had to take a sick day, vacation day, or personal day, or face disciplinary action.
I rejected that foolishness, and simply asked that if anyone wanted to be part of the festivities, he/she simply had to follow normal procedures for missed time. I am paying for that decision to this day, having been branded as a “loose cannon” by the wonderful folks in our HR community.
Amazingly, since I applied normal procedures and treated everyone like adults, there were exactly zero problems.
Adherence to the rules for everyone saved a lot of trouble. Perhaps this is a lesson lost on our leadership, and we need to retraing them.
Ba-lack Obama for President
The Great Wall of China attracts a great deal of tourism, so maybe we need a new tourist attraction in the same mold as The Great Wall?
I agree with a lot of the above comments, I hope Obama does on run this immigration issue. That will be fun to watch.
By the way, the link “Protest Warrior Chicago” is not working.
Obama is a pretty fair orator, as was Adolph Hitler and Vladimir Lenin.
Hitler and Lenin both advocated “Change”.
However, they clearly articulated the “change” that they were after.
Obama clearly has an agenda, one that I do not want any part of.
* You cannot Tax a Nation into prosperity
* You cannot re-negotiate NAFTA when it it is dis adventageous to the other signatories
* National Healthcare has totally failed where it was tried
* His Neville Chamberlain School of Diplomacy had obvious consequences
* His lack of experience other than voting “present” is not Leadership
* Any Candidate that Ted Kennedy endorses will never get my vote
* Any Candidate that is endorsed by the Nation of Islam will not get my Vote
* He never served His Country other than Feeding at the Public trough
* He will appoint Judges that will Legislate From the Bench
* His association with the Weather Underground Terrorists raises a few serious Red Flags for me
Just a few legitimate concerns too many for me, Thank You!

I was thinking more of a canal, since China has the one in Panama (thanks jimmy)… I know it would be quite an undertaking, but we could use the displaced earth to build New Orleans above sea level.
Yeah, but he’s got that catchy little Obama Girl Tune!

Another good good idea, Brooklyn Red. We can have both, kind of like that lions cage at the San Fran Zoo. (It has to be built right though.)
I tell you what. All of you open boarder morons have at you. I am your worst nightmare.
I AM A GUN TOTING, REDNECK, WHITE BOY, THAT HAS A BLUE COLLAR LIFE.
THIS IS MY COUNTRY AMERICA. I FAUGHRT FOR IT. I BLED FOR IT. AND BY GOD I’LL DIE FOR IT.
AMERICA LOVE IT OR GET THE M.F. OUT!!!!!
Carpi, can you show some emotion!
Geez! LOL~
I am a soon to be gun toting white female!
Seems most of my friends have NO clue what is happening to our country.
When I inform them, they give me this blank stare.
It is time to pass the message to everyone! Time to take OUR country back and NOT give the government one red cent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it’s well past time that we held another Boston Tea Party. They want to give Representation without taxation to the illegal? They want to have taxation without representation to U.S. Citizens? Yes, time for a tea party. Scones anyone?
Oh, we can even try to get Bob Dylan to write our protest theme song “Like a Rolling Scone”
LGM I am sure there are many Canadians who are stating that they are not part of your “America”. America (USA) is not a continent. Now LGM here is a little geography lesson and that the USA is a nation which is located in North America. Likewise, Mexico, Canada, Cuba also are located in North America. Another thing is how is giving amnesty and opening up the border going to help the middle class that both Hillary and Obama are fighting for?
lgm get off my continent!
lgm,
Read your money idiot. If you cannot admit America is America, I will take all that paper off of your hands and use it to feed the hungry.
Just so you know (as you are a liberal and a teacher so you may be a little slow), all money says: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Tool.
P.S. I am not belittling all teachers – just him.
Wow, did not know that Obama had been so blatantly racist. When people think only peoples of their or certain ethnic groups are their siblings, they go into my racist book.
McCain, Hillary, Obama, they all suck so badly!
May Day is a big communist holiday isnt it?
Need I say more?
Why is it cruel to go back to and live in the country you were born in? There are lots of poor, suffering people in Africa, Asia, etc. too. Why don’t we have the welcome wagon out for them?
Is it a racism thing? Sounds like it.
Mexico’s proximity and our piss poor border is no reason to be forced to assimilate their excess citizens.
It is not impossible to deport 20 million illegal invaders, particularly when the word gets out that only incarceration and deportation awaits them here and they beat feet for home.
Old Trooper:
Thank you, thank you, thank you. At least there are some Americans not going crazy from the Obamamania! I would like to add a few of my own:
*Being an Affirmative Action baby like his wife makes him even more unable to tell the difference between good and bad government
*Taking money from lobbyists, PAC’s, and the Rezco’s of the world doesn’t make you less “for sale”
*Mentioning the constant key words “hope” or “unity” or “change” is not a replacement for actual policies
*Having a wife who hasn’t loved her country until her husband ran for President does not make for a suitable first lady
*Promoting war opposition doesn’t mean you will make a good Commander-in Chief
*Having Merrill “McPrick” McPeak speak out for your foreign policy “experience” is not a resounding endorsement
I’m sure I missed some of Obummer’s finer qualities.
Americans are too thick to see that their politicians, starting with White House, are hungry for two things:
- Money.
- Votes.
Not America or Americans.
