Racist Kansas Legislator, Virgil Peck, advocates shooting “illegals”
MEDIA ADVISORY
National Hispanic GOP Group Slams Rep. Virgil Peck and Demands Apology
For Immediate Release
Phoenix, AZ – SOMOS REPUBLICANS are demanding an apology from Republican Kansas legislator, Virgil Peck, when he said it might be good to control illegal immigration the way the feral hog population has been controlled — with hunters shooting from helicopters. There are people advocating to shoot the heads off of “illegal Mexicans”, and Peck’s behavior is extremely violent and inappropriate.
We are sick and tired of the bigotry from state legislators who would rather advocate for violence and shooting people than to focus on reasonable solutions. Hasn’t Mr. Peck learned from the mistakes of Sarah Palin when she put what appeared to be gun sight crosshairs over our Congresswoman, Gabby Gifford’s district? Has he not learned what our Congresswoman stated to that regard? Fact of the matter, Rep. Peck is also using poor methods of communication when he said we needed to “shoot people from helicopters to control immigration”. In a time of extreme tension and occasional violence over illegal immigration, such as the slaughter of a Mexican-American family in Arizona including a nine-year old girl, allegedly by Minutemen, elected officials should refrain from the use of violent metaphors. Such violent metaphors can push some unstable people ‘over the edge.’ Right now we are dealing with increased hate crimes, and Peck’s behavior in essence advocates for more.
If Representative Virgil Peck does not apologize for his extremist comments, he will wind up permanently on our unfriendly to Hispanics list for the rest of his life, and his Kansas legend will be one of bigotry. We will also send a letter of complaint to all of those who have endorsed him, particularly the business communities who are supported by the Hispanic consumers in Kansas. We are horrified by his remarks and he is a disgrace to the Party that was founded by Abraham Lincoln.

There would of course, have to be a vetting process, similar to the Minuteman Movement. Not a bunch of gung-ho redneck idiots.

Thing is tw...
I would go there with a platoon of us old fast guys from this board and anyone they might recommend. I would feel secure in the knowledge that it would be a well disciplined and honorable group.
BUT
What would happen is a bunch of trigger happy wanna be yahoos would show up and it would get ugly.
I agree we need to control the border. I have a problem with having someone demand that I be bi-lingual in my own country! But sometimes I can't help but think the American Indians are laughing their collective butts off about all this.
Pecos
How do they get away with signs like that?????????????
1st, he's most likely illegal, so first amendment rights do not apply.
2nd, first amendment rights, even if they did apply, still do not allow for threats against the lives of other Americans.
Of course this was a Democrat sponsored rally, so death threats are overlooked. Kinda like in Wisconsin. ::)
