Stockholm syndrome sufferer/wingnut tool Ruben NAVARRETTE slams Wendy DAVIS

[UTUSN]

Let's review: Members of protected groups who choose to serve their oppressors might be showing Stockholm Syndrome. NAVARRETTE's m.o. is straight out of Clarence THOMAS, turning against "White Liberal males" (in favor of White wingnut males), because he claims that the noblesse oblige safety net programs like Affirmative Action "stigmatized" him. So he found his niche career in being a "non-traditional (to his home minority group) voice" first with his post-Harvard book whining about the "stigma," and then by catering to media employers who think they are being original by looking for "non-traditional" employees.

He has been a wingnut tool for anything-Shrub and has been a scold on anything-Democratic forever, constantly preaching what candidates the Dem Party should field (who would lose) and what our platform should say and preaching a "cafeteria" approach for Hispanics (picking and choosing entrees from whatever party on the basis of expediency).

When Goodhair was in the Rethug primaries, he sought out a tete a tete with NAVARRETTE, "over iced tea" as NAVARRETTE "bragged", supposedly for the purpose of outreach to Hispanics?!1 This goes to show Goodhair's own tin ear, since most Hispanics would not identify with NAVARRETTE.

His Wendy DAVIS slam is at the bottom, literally, below a Search list of other NAVARRETTE subversions.

[font size=5]Navarrette: Do Wendy Davis' choices matter?[/font]

Being a liberal means never having to be consistent.

Take the idea that women should make their own choices about family and career and it is no one else's business what they choose to do.

That sounds good. I just can't believe it's coming from liberals who have never been particularly skilled at resisting the urge to criticize women over the choices they make -- if those women are conservative Republicans. ....

Yet, this kind of respect is exactly what some liberals are calling for in Texas, where Democrats are now circling the wagons around embattled gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis. They hope the state senator -- who last year put on her sneakers and filibustered an anti-abortion bill in the Legislature -- will help turn the red state blue. ....

Yet, Davis might not be the strongest candidate to put Texas in the Democratic column. Texans value authenticity, and Davis might not live up to her campaign literature. The narrative of her life story that her handlers peddle to reporters and campaign donors contains several inaccuracies. ....

It's that last part that gets us back to the touchy subject of women and choices. How is this for a biography? Davis chose attending a faraway law school over raising her kids. This won't go over well with some Texans, who just might conclude that motherhood isn't her strong suit and that ambition got the better of her. This might make her less likable. ....

1. I refuse to read the rest of the article because it would require giving a click to the Newsday

propaganda machine. Thanks for pointing this out.

He seems to think he represents what Latinos want. I think the first thing to point out is that Latinos want someone to be honest with them and not pander to them. There isn't a more insulting thing one can do to a minority group. He also doesn't think Latinos want the truth or deserve it. I don't think there is a more out of touch with his own people comment than the one "Davis chose attending a faraway law school over raising her kids." I don't think he could insult Latinos more in that statement. How many of them are in this country because they wanted better for their children and decided moving was the way to accomplish it? I don't know how many Latinos in Texas are native, but based on the population at the time of statehood I doubt if it's the majority of the Latinos there now. How many Latino parents came to this country or some other country without their children to find work and establish a home and have the kids come later? Latinos have made huge sacrifices for their children, many of them involved moving or separating their families for the greater good. He's not insulting Davis' parenting decisions. He's insulting a very real way of life for Latinos and the Latino parents who did anything within their power to benefit their children and their futures. Disgusting low-class move Navarette.

2. We used to have GREAT DUer "Maestro" who had had duels decades ago with NAVARRETTE & Linda CHAVEZ

Haven't seen Maestro here for years.

[okaawhatever]

3. I was wondering what Navarrette's family history was. I found in one column someone refer to his

being a sixth generation American, but trying to find out anything about his family's story is difficult. I was initially trying to find out whether any of his relatives came to this country without the rest of their families, but now that I can't find anything I'm curious. It wouldn't matter for most writers, but he frequently refers to his life story and biography so I'm curious now. If you know anything let me know. Even his own biography mentions nothing about his parents, family, upbringing etc.

4. EWwww to try to assist I wallowed in his wingnut pig sty, found a little, not much

I need a shower.

[font size=5]KENNEDY’S MORAL COURAGE INSPIRES ‘RESTLESS SPIRITS’[/font]
.... My mom watched me, as a child, pore over books about the Kennedys and sit mesmerized by videos of old speeches. She watched me, as a teenager, wander through Harvard Yard on a scouting trip, retracing the steps of Kennedys.

Later, she watched my father exploit the Kennedys’ magical hold on Mexicangrandmothers. My own grandma, who eschewed faraway colleges like Harvard, gave her blessing to my choice only after my father described it as “la escuela adonde fueron los Kennedys” (the school where the Kennedys went).
After graduation, my parents took me on a pilgrimage to Hyannis Port and,later, heard me quote Kennedys in a book, in columns and in speeches.

More recently, during a decade-long writing career, my mother has chuckled at my habit of measuring politicians by “the Bobby Kennedy standard” of moral courage. ....

I’ve decided not to play it safe, either. This is the end of the road. This is my last column.
I’m going away. I’m going home.
In ten days, I’ll return to Harvard for a year to pursue a master’s in public administration at the John F. Kennedy School of Government. ....

[font size=5]DA letters join long list of my critics inside, outside la familia[/font]
There are days when the experience of being a Mexican-American columnist leaves you feeling like a piñata.
One minute you’re accused of being too ethnic, and the next, of not being ethnic enough. Some will say you’re trying to speak for all Latinos, while others skewer you for failing to defend your own kind.
About 10 years ago, in Los Angeles, a Latina yelled “vendido” (sellout) and stormed away from one of my speeches after I criticized the late César Chávez, the former president of the United Farm Workers Union. Just recently, a Latino reader from Texas accused me of spreading “misinformation” because I oppose bilingual education. ....

.... Not long ago, after a speech to a local business group, an Anglo gentleman stood and asked me what our society should do about poor black and Hispanic kids who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Nothing, I told him. Leave them alone. Whatever you do, I said, don’t try to rope them into some government welfare program. The disadvantaged kids - at least some of them - will find a way out of their circumstance, I said. Chances are they’ll do what poor people and immigrants have done for generations. They’ll study hard, work long hours and push themselves forward. ....
