Freerepublic: Rascist interlocutors organize against immigrants.

by I.M. Disgusted
Rascism apparent on FreeRepublic. Read the proof.
FreeRepublic: Rascist interlocutors organize against immigrants. Right wing activists seeking to confront Freedom Ride.

There are currently (9/27/2003) 11 articles posted and actively being discussed on FreeRepublic that are concerning the topic of illegal immigrants. Reading through the comments posted on the forum you will notice many thinly veiled attempts to disguise hatred of people of Mexican and Central/South American descent.

The volume of anti-immigrant articles posted there is so overwhelming a clear pattern of hatred towards Mexicans has been established. Judge for yourself:

Posted articles on Freerepublic 9/27/2003:

1. America must drain the immigration swamp
2.Illegal alien freedom ride counter protest
3.200 from here to join ride for immigrant workers
4.Border patrol stops immigrants freedom ride busses.
5.Former farm worker to join freedom ride in Idaho
6.Freedom riders stage rally in Phoenix
7.Freedom ride makes valley stop.
8.Freedom riders hope road to change runs through Yakima.
9.The Latin american bloc-the ignored danger to freedom.


These are articles from various news sources. All are being posted for the purposes of organizing against the Freedom Ride and for purposes of swaying others opinions towards Mexican immigrants.

This is only an example..........FreeRepublic is also constantly organizing against gays, peace and justice activists, Muslims, etc.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

If you are concerned with the growing hatred being propogated on FreeRepublic forum and by the FreeRepublic Network, please write the Southern Poverty Law Center and request they place Free
Republic Network and Forum on their list of recognised hate groups and work to put a halt to their activitys. Contact them at:
