The Houston Chronicle reports that the National Council of La Raza has launched a site to counter anti-immigrant " hate speech" engaged in by politicians and pundits.
The website itself is located at www.wecanstopthehate.org.
From the Chron article:
Murguia said La Raza wanted executives at Fox, CNN and MSNBC "to take the hate and vigilante groups off the air." And, she asked for political candidates to pledge "to renounce hate speech and sever their ties with ... hate groups.
In particular, Murguia singled out:
• CNN's Lou Dobbs, who she said "routinely provides a platform for vilifying immigrants on his 'Broken Borders' segment," a regular feature on Dobbs' nightly broadcast.
• MSNBC commentator Pat Buchanan, who has written a book denouncing illegal immigration.
• Radio and TV personality Glenn Beck, who once described on-air a fake ad created by a listener about fuel made from the bodies of illegal Mexican immigrants.
