Our second-favorite piece of Internet effluvia (after Barbara Coe's e-mails, that is), is La Voz de Aztlán, the gay-bashing, Jew-trashing website run by Hector Carreon, a former Buena Park city employee who operates his one-man digital dung heap out of Whittier. What's funniest about Carreon is that he tries to portray himself as anti-Zionist, not anti-Jew, but fails miserably again and again. "La Voz de Aztlan stands against Anti-Semitism and any form of hate,
xenophobia, racism and bigotry,"
Type "Augustin Cebada" on YouTube to hear his take on plain ol' white folk!The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles has a fascinating article in tomorrow's edition about "La Causa," a show that airs Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. on KPFK-FM 90.7 and is hosted by a 1960s refugee who calls himself Augustin Cebada (not his real name) and allows some of the worst anti-Semitic bile to soil Southern California since La Voz de Aztlan--and more on that connection in a bit! I'm quoted in the piece by reporter
Mere moments after the Jewish Journal published an éxposé of the anti-Semitic KPFK-FM 90.7 show "La Causa," the Southern Poverty Law Center-designated hate website La Voz de Aztlán rushed to the defense of the only publicly broadcast radio show in the United States that has ever considered it anything other than a embarrassment. "Pro-Israel Jews attack a popular Los Angeles Chicano radio program," screamed the headline, and writer "Ernesto Cienfuegos" (really La Voz publisher Hector Carreon,
Perhaps the best exposé on the Jew-bashing, gay-trashing website La Voz de Aztlan was published in 2002 by the now-defunct New Times Los Angeles. This is where we got the information that sole writer Hector Carreon (last name has Jewish roots) worked in Buena Park. The article hasn't existed online for years, however, mysteriously scrubbed away from the grasp of Google and even the mighty Lexis-Nexis database--until now. Following the jump is the article in its entirety, written by Tony Ortega,
Carreon once called Osama bin Laden the "Pancho Villa of Islam.' What a pendejo!Ahmadullah Sais Niazi is currently out on bail while the United States government determines whether to prosecute the Tustin resident for previously lying about his ties to Al Qaeda, of which this week's cover boy, Craig Monteilh, says Niazi was a fan. Nick Schou's excellent story also has this interesting tidbit:Monteilh didn't just secretly record Niazi, but he also kept what he
claims are copies of all his e-mail
In its latest screed, the Jew-bashing, gay-trashing La Voz de Aztlán (run by former Buena Park employee and eternal loon Hector Carreón) turns the tragedy that was the murder of an Arizona girl and her father by one branch of Minutemen Know Nothings into an opportunity to put a Jewish sheen on anti-Mexican sentiment. It got me thinking about Carreón's most infamous insertion of his anti-Semitism into an irrelevant topic: the South Central Farm fiasco of 2006.Quick recap: a group of farmers to
The legal and verbal back-and-forth between Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist and California Coalition for Immigration Reform head Barbara Coe has gone on for so long one doesn't even know where to begin. The only conclusion I can make is that Coe is the true evildoer of the former allies; after all, it was a CCIR meeting that inspired Gilchrist to start his effort, and while Gilchrist says wacky things from time to time, Coe's words are pure, hideous venom.Coe has especially gone bonkers
We're all accustomed to hear anti-immigrant loons rail: illegal alien SAVAGES, PRESS 1 FOR ENGLISH, TWO FOR SPANISH, and other priceless couplets. But, until this new wave of Know Nothings, there was at least a bit of class. Sure, Barbara Coe and her minions would spew all sorts of vitriol about Mexicans and other immigrants, but never in a decade of covering her have I heard Barb cuss or use bona fide slurs. The same, sadly, can't be said for William Gheen and Jeff Schwilk.Gheen is the he
