• San Diego Minutemen Get Back Their San Clemente Adopt-a-Highway Sign

  Mere hours after the Weekly's story regarding the tale of two Minuteman Project Adopt-a-Highway signs hit the streets, a federal judge ordered Caltrans to restore the one on Interstate 5 near the San Onofre immigration checkpoint sponsored by the San Diego Minutemen. In a misleading email sent out last night ("misleading" only because the subject line read " My heartfelt thanks go out to you!" and I thought it was about me, but in reality it was a mass e-mail), San Diego Minutemen founder Jeff S

• Barbara Coe Upset Sarah Palin Doesn't Acknowledge Her

  On Sept. 15, California Coalition for Immigration Reform head Barbara Coe sent off a questionnaire to Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. "The California Coalition for Immigration Reform (CCIR) is a nationally recognized nonpartisan grassroots organization representing thousands of patriots nationwide," Coe wrote to Palin. "Our goal is the enforcement of our immigration laws, protection of law-abiding Americans from illegal alien invaders and the preservation of the U.S. as a sov

• Jim Gilchrist to Speak at Long Beach State Today--Students, Please Go

  The Southern California progressive community is abuzz with word that Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist and his anti-illegals pal, Ted Hayes, will "lecture" at Long Beach State today. "The topic is to inform students and the general public on the Racist Agenda of the La Raza at the national, college, and high school level," says the press release put out by the Conservative Student Union, which doesn't even have a location for what will surely be an afternoon of laughs. This time last yea

• The Godfather of Mexican-Haters to Visit CCIR Tomorrow!

  What an exciting couple of days it's been for members of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform! They held a rally this past Saturday at their little slice of Nuremburg, the Garden Grove Women's Club, in which a Who's Who of Know Nothings was scheduled to rally geriatrics against amnesty for illegals: Jeff Schwilk of the San Diego Minutemen (a group so goofy they despise Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist), CCIR head witch Barbara Coe, "Chicana" activist Lupe Moreno, Save Our State

• Barbara Coe And Friends Use Adenhart Tragedy to Troll for New Members to CCIR

  Was CCIR head once a Chinese singer?As Clockwork Coker inadvertently showed in his post on the death of Anaheim Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and his friends caused by some dipshit drunk driver, the Know Nothing nation will seize any opportunity to bash Mexicans and exploit any tragedy if it means furthering their cause. Last Thursday, San Diego Minutemen head Jeff Schwilk sent out an email to folks asking they try to confirm the immigration status of killer Andrew Thomas Gallo. "If he is by chan

• San Diego Minuteman Head Urges Violence Against O.C. Activist

  Naui Huitzilopochtli has been a long-time fixture in Orange County progressive activism, first as a mere protester but increasingly as perhaps Orange County's most prolific political YouTuber. His incessant hectoring of Know Nothings has made Naui Dirty Mexican #1 amongst local anti-illegals activists, with all types of online insults and doctored videos ridiculing him for various actions.But no one seems to have it in more for Naui than Orange County native Jeff Schwilk, head of the San Diego M

• Barbara Coe Going Batshit Loca Over Jim Gilchrist

  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

• Know Nothing Leaders Jeff Schwilk and William Gheen Add Homophobic Slurs to their Rolodex of Racism

  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

• Another Know Nothing Turns Against Barbara Coe

  Notice the Iron Cross on Coe's T-shirt...The Beer Hall Putsch of America's modern-day Know Nothing movement keeps turning more hilarious by the day. Earlier this week, we reported on how California Coalition for Immigration Reform head Barbara Coe tried to put  murders at the hands of Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist. Now emerges a scathing July 9 email in which Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) head William Gheen calls Babs a "two-faced backstabber"--and that's one of the

• Barbara Coe on Barack Obama: "Worse, Much Worse" Than Hitler

  If Obama is worse than Hitler, what does that make Coe?​I once had an argument of sorts with a prominent O.C. newsman who basically told me to give it a rest on the Barbara Coe beat. "She's just an old, paranoid woman who barely has a following," he said of the head of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform, and that's why he works for his outlet and I work for mine. You gentle readers need no introduction to the profound influence she's had on the modern-day Know Nothing movement.But
