This is one I can't pin down, which is unusual.  I think the problem is the sheer volumn of work MacDonald has churned out in the past few years makes it almost impossible to do a true web search on her.  Every instinct I have tells me she's not 'kosher' but I can't prove it.  Anyone as prolifically anti-hispanic and as seriously racist as MacDonald has something in a closet somewhere.  The problem is her past is buried so deeply I can't crack it.  She's squeeky clean, so far.  But, someone who is cited so much by Malkin, Vdare, Steven Sailor, Sam Francis, American Resistance, American Renaissance, etc. isn't a saint. I was finally able to prove she is playing fast and lose with the facts and sourcing on Hispanic culture.  Frankly, in my humble opinion, she is probably one of the worst, most biased anti-hispanic source out there today. 

When dealing with anything about immigration, the first thing a person needs to know is to look beyond the hype and investigate the credentials of the author of a piece.  Heather MacDonald is no exception.  In NRO she has an extremely biased, one sided kill piece about the Hispanic family.  She's an expert, right?  Well, Vdare has her as part of the libertarian (a kicker right there) Manhattan Institute. And a Source Watch profile reveals nothing that could point to MacDonald's racism against Hispanics.  MacDonald is one of the promoters of the racist, Hispanic Family Values (check out this Vdare which parrots her).  I know she is using the racist Myth of Hispanic Family Values from American Resistance, but I can't prove it.

(Note:  The thing that gets me about libertarians and illegal immigration - Libertarians are allegedly for limited government - as little as possible - but the anti-immigration stance many of them take is the ultimate Big Brother.  You can't have it both ways.  A true libertarian would let these guys come and go over the border and live and let live.  As it is, they are some of the biggest promoters of Draconian immigration laws.  Go figure.  I'm not bright enough.)

From her profile on One People's Project (which is quite liberal, but the person doing it is an ex-hate monger so I give him a break) "...A non-practicing lawyer fresh from stints at the EPA and as a clerk for a Judge Stephen Reinhardt in California, Heather MacDonald moved to the city from Los Angeles in 1987 and jumped into the racial tensions going on there at the time. She found herself at a conservative think tank called the Manhattan Institute (MI) This lovely place was founded by former CIA director William Casey and in the past was funded by far right eugenics advocates such as the Pioneer Fund and others, Many of those other backers also backed Hitler's rise to power. One of them, Chase Bank, has publicly apologized for its support of Hitler, but where today's hate politics are concerned, MI does not seem so forgiving. They have sponsored eugenics projects, most notably the pro-eugenics book The Bell Curve, a best-selling book that proposed the idea that blacks are mentally inferior. On one website, it is noted that while the Manhattan Institute does not publicly advocate mass extermination or mass relocation of minorities the policies it does promote are mostly about targeting black and Latino inner city populations in such a way as to make relocation an attractive option and elimination a day to day reality. ..."

Her immigration numbers are skewed, but you can't pin her down. The closest I can get is this AZ Central article.   "...Nearly two dozen organization members handed lawmakers two-page documents that they called the "real facts." Richard White, president of the organization, called Pearce's rhetoric a smear campaign against "a whole people that tends to create division and fear."The purpose is to advance a political agenda of hard-line immigration reforms by instilling fear in the public and pressure among lawmakers to act, White said."I hope the public will recognize the song and dance for what it is," he said.Statistics can be slippery ground, and even the organization's fact sheet didn't compare apples to apples as, in one instance, Pearce cited statistics on federal prisoners and the Interfaith Network responded with statistics on prisoners in state facilities.Pearce has said that one-third of federal prisoners are illegal. The Network points out that fewer than 12 percent of those incarcerated in state prisons are Mexican nationals.The Republic found that nearly 28 percent of those incarcerated in federal prisons are not U.S. citizens, according to the Federal Bureau of Prison Statistics. That's 5 percentage points short of a third and doesn't take into account foreign-born residents who are in the country legally. Pearce, R-Mesa, said he got the statistic from CNN. Pearce also was called on a statistic that said 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide in Los Angeles target illegal immigrants.But officers at the LA Police Department and Sheriff's Office say they aren't sure how that fact was deduced."I don't know where those come from," said Lt. Paul Vernon, who handles public information with the LAPD. Much like in Phoenix, officers do not check immigration status. Neither LA nor Phoenix police departments track the number of illegal immigrants involved in crimes, officials said. The statistic appears to have originated with Heather MacDonald, who is listed as a scholar with the Manhattan Institute in New York. MacDonald could not be reached for comment on Monday."

And debunking MacDonald's stats on illegals, CA, crime, and gangs from the LA Times. 

"Just the Facts-- UPDATED

What's Up?  First, this is a very disorganized expose on alleged Republicans, focusing on Ray McBerry of GA and Doug Hanks of NC.  Both are racists.  Something is seriously wrong with the Republican party - not the Republican Party but people who are running for office or who are claiming to be Republicans.  We have a serious problem here. 

How about treason?  Is Succession Treason?  Lincoln thought it was.

How about Lew Rockwell, a 'libertarian' who absolutely detests GWB.  He is quoted by conservative, freedom loving constutitionals eveerywhere, including VDARE.  You see, people think this 'deep thinker' is a conservative Republican.  He's not.  I don't know what he is but it ain't Republican

He wrote the Great Conservative Hoax for his web site. "The problem with American conservatism is that it hates the left more than the state, loves the past more than liberty, feels a greater attachment to nationalism than to the idea of self-determination, believes brute force is the answer to all social problems, and thinks it is better to impose truth rather than risk losing one soul to heresy. It has never understood the idea of freedom as a self-ordering principle of society. It has never seen the state as the enemy of what conservatives purport to favor. It has always looked to presidential power as the saving grace of what is right and true about America.

I'm speaking now of the variety of conservatism created by William Buckley, not the Old Right of Albert Jay Nock, John T. Flynn, Garett Garrett, H.L. Mencken, and company, though these people would have all rejected the name conservative as ridiculous. After Lincoln, Wilson, and FDR, what's to conserve of the government? The revolutionaries who tossed off a milder British rule would never have put up with it.

For my part, I'm hoping that the whole conservative movement will go down in flames with the decline and fall of the Bush administration. The red-state fascists have had their day and instead of liberty, they gave us the most raw and stupid form of imperial big government one can imagine. They have given America a bad name around the world. They have bamboozled millions. They have looted and bankrupted the country. They have killed tens of thousands.

The Republican Party is in danger of being hijacked by people who have absolutely nothing to do with being Republican but are in it because of convienence." 

Take Ray McBerry, a GA candidate for Governor (please take him).  He has been endorsed by the following:  Edwin Gravitt who runs the Liberty GOP Tea Party, and is an associate of Constutition Party stalwart Chuck Baldwin who is a Christian who believes every illegal Hispanic alien should be deported, no matter how many children are hurt.  "Liberty-GOP Tea Party Forum (TPF): Where the lesser of evils is considered to be....EVIL. Join USAmericans as "We The People" discuss the essence of Liberty and Self Governance as were meant to be secured by our Constitution and Bill of Rights, with special emphasis on LOWER TAXES and LESS GOVERNMENT regulations and restrictions for all USAmericans and THEIR children. And at all times. Liberty-GOP is not affiliated with any political party and no 11th commandment applies. Lend us your thoughts and your ear. Post announcements and meeting notices. Barter, buy, sell and trade personal items (See disclaimer in Files). Bureaucrats, politicians and the media are especially invited to account for their actions."  The GOP Tea Party isn't associate with the Republican Party - even though it uses "GOP" to rope people into their treason. 

Then he is endorsed by the Constutition Party - not Republican Party.

And by Henry Klingler a former libertarian candidate from Alabama - no Republican - but they are conservative. "Now, my caveat:  There is a long road ahead.  We have to recognize that getting a statesman like Ray McBerry elected is only step one.  Once elected, he is faced with returning to principles that have been ignored or compromised away for decades.  He is going to meet with entrenched opposition and vested interests in keeping things the way they are.  And, he is going to meet this greatest obstacle of all…IGNORANCE!   This obstacle can only be overcome by a continued effort of those grassroots electorate that understand and put him in office in the first place.  Ask yourself, “What do we have to gain by getting a statesman like Ray McBerry elected governor if we’re only going to incur more work?”   Let me say it like this.  If we don’t do something NOW to save our state, and by extension, our country, then we will have lost all that our forbears intended for us.  I personally want to pass on to my children (and their children) a nation that upholds the liberty and freedom that our beloved Constitution stands for.  I mean this in all seriousness.  For all practical purposes, we have already lost the Constitutional Republic that our forefathers gave us.  But, the spirit of that powerful written document lives on, and those principles are not entirely forgotten.  Time is of the essence.  The longer we have been diverted from our Constitutional roots, the more difficult our task becomes to return to them.  I sincerely believe that this may be our last chance. "

Have you figured out that when you see the word "Constitution" you'd better be careful?

Then he is endorsed by Michael Hill of the League of the South.  Now what you need to know about Hill is he is in favor of the South Succeeding from the Union.  Evidently he does not know history and is doomed, as a fool, to repeat it's failure.  There are questions of ties to neo-Nazis.   I don't know about you, but when were people like McBerry, who are endorsed with people like Michael Hill, even allowed to run under the GOP name?

The SPLC wrote of him: "The man who has done more than any other to create a new, racially tinged Southern secession movement wears a white beard that gives him the unmistakable look of a Confederate Army officer — and taught during an academic career lasting decades at historically black Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Michael Hill was always on oddity at the school, roaming the campus wearing a Confederate flag pin and waxing nostalgic to his mostly black students about the so-called "War Between the States." He began to develop his ideas in the 1970s, while studying under neo-Confederate ideologue Grady McWhiney at the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa.

Expanding on his old professor's controversial view that the South was different from the North because its population was "Celtic," Hill published two books on Celtic history in the early 1990s. Finally, in 1994, he went public, creating the Southern League (the name was a takeoff on the separatist Northern League of Italy, but had to be changed after a baseball league of the same name threatened to sue).

Started with 40 people, what would be renamed the League of the South* included four men with Ph.D.s on its board, along with Jack Kershaw, who was once active in the segregationist White Citizens Council in Nashville and who remains on the board today.

Hill's league started out complaining about the media treatment of white Southerners, but quickly developed into a racist group calling for secession, attacking egalitarianism, calling antebellum slavery "God-ordained," opposing racial intermarriage, and defending segregation as a policy designed to protect the integrity of both races.

An early sign of the league's racism came in 1995, when Hill set up a student chapter at his alma mater. Within months, its members began to verbally attack gays and its president, Thomas Stedman, wrote to the student newspaper to say "blacks did not invent ... anything of note anywhere in the world" — a sentiment often offered up by the Klan.

In 1998, Hill finally left Stillman, which had been badly embarrassed by his efforts. Still, the league grew quickly, as racist white Southerners sought the respectability of a group led by a professor, and today claims 15,000 members.

Hill has praised anti-Semitic extremists like the immigrant-bashing Jean Marie Le Pen of France, calling for "others like Le Pen to arise." The "ravages of multiculturalism and so-called diversity" are anathema to him. Last year, Hill described the Pledge of Allegiance as "nationalist propaganda [meant] to indoctrinate" children with socialist ideas about government.

In 2003, he led an attempt to resuscitate the Southern Party, another neo-Confederate organization. And he attacked the Supreme Court after its ruling this July striking down anti-gay sodomy laws, saying the court was helping to advance what he called the "sodomite and civil rights agendas."

He is endorsed by Mike Crane who is a vice chairman of the 'Southern Party' of Georgia.

And, McBerry is endorsed by Michael A. Perouka, the 2004 Constitution Party's Presidential Candidate. 

McBerry was part of the League of the South and is endorsed by the racist American Renaissance.  Wow!

Then there are people like former GOP NC candidate Doug Hanks, who is such an embarassment, they cause horrible problems.  This was on the Down with Tyrrany website.(extremely liberal site)  "Superficially "moderate" Republicans-- the kind who don't wear white sheets and pillowcases except under extreme circumstances-- like John Aneralla, the chairman of the Mecklenburg County Republican Party, and Mayor Pat McCrory-- pressured Hanks to withdraw. By the way, like many Republicans from the Hanks end of the GOP, his hatred for African-Americans extends to others as well and many of his lovely comments on StormFront.org were aimed at Jews and gays (Mehlman falling into both categories). He also tried boosting his City Council primary campaign, knowing full well that the only people who go to websites like that are the backbone of the North Carolina GOP-- and, of course, people doing research for books." It proves my point that the GOP is being infiltrated by some very nasty creatures.  If we don't stand up and run these people out of the pary, we are in very deep dodo.

Naturally Hanks said he was not a racist. "Republican candidate Doug Hanks said Thursday that he will exit the Charlotte City Council race, after his postings on a white supremacist Internet site became public.In more than 4,000 posts on stormfront.org, Hanks railed against blacks and Jews, touted his instruction book on building a homemade rifle and recruited people to rally against Charlotte's decision to remove the Confederate flag from Elmwood Cemetery. Hanks told the Observer Thursday that he is not a racist, though he admitted playing one on the Internet. He acknowledged making the posts and writing a novel that his own Web site compares with "The Turner Diaries." That's the novel often credited with inspiring Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh."

And don't confuse the American Conservative Magazine with the Republican Party.  It is not Republican.

The ADL  has listed the League of the South as a 'hate group'.

This afternoon I had an email that passed on Neil Bortz's hystarical rantings.  I have it posted over at The Pink Flamingo.  Bortz has a list of things GOOD REPUBLICANS can do instead of voting in November.  The problem here is Bortz is an unrepentant Libertarian and not a Republican.  Of course he wants Republicans to stay home.  It's like a Democrat telling Republicans to stay home.  And right now I think the 'Libertarians' are more the 'enemy' than are the Democrats.  At least we know what they're up too.  And, quite frankly, if it came down between a libertarian leading GOP candidate for Prez and Hil, I'm sorry, but I would vote for Hil!  There is something fishy going on with the Libertarians right now, and it isn't good.  Fact is, they are going absolutely wacky!  Let's see, their latest is that the reason GWB issued his Ex. Order about private property is so the Illuminati can confiscate it. And the Bush family is part of the whole conspiricy. 

Don't you know that?  If not, you aren't reading World Net Daily, where they are seriously highlighting that idiot Jacobs claim that the Devil (probably in the form of Chris Cannon) is destroying his life.  It is breaking news!  World Net Daily is quickly becoming the 'Star' of the ultra right hystaria with such titles as "More Scientists Expressing Doubt about Darwin" or my personal favorite, "Puppy Raped by Illegal Alien!"  Or "Bush Border Super-State Documents Sought!"  But don't worry, Tom Tancredo is demanding Bush hand over the documents so he can save America and make it into his own image.  It suddenly dawned on me why TT isn't going to run for President.  He's auditioning for God!

"Responding to a WorldNetDaily report, Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., is demanding the Bush administration fully disclose the activities of an office implementing a trilateral agreement with Mexico and Canada that apparently could lead to a North American union, despite having no authorization from Congress....Tancredo's decision has been endorsed by Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project. "It's time for the Bush administration to come clean," Gilchrist told WND. "If President Bush's agenda is to establish a new North American union government to supersede the sovereignty of the United States, then the president has an obligation to tell this to the American people directly. The American public has a right to know." Are these two men now running America? 

FYI, did you know Tancredo started out as a Libertarian?

Oh, and check out WND's wacko book store.  No Bush conspiricy is too small for them.  But, Joseph Farah is a GOOD conservative so we give him a pass?  Right?

The whole thing is the Libertarian Movement.  I don't mind Libertarians.  In fact,when I take a quiz about my political leanings, they come up 'libertarian' but that has nothing to do with the way the Libertarian Movement today is evolving into something I feel is bordering on treason.  One of the leading lights of the movement is Lew Rockwell.  He runs the
