“Machete” and Barack Obama had special messages for the State of Arizona on Cinco de Mayo. A new trailer for the upcoming action film to be released in September singles out Arizona over it’s immigration law, SB 1070. Produced by Robert Rodriguez, the film’s new trailer begins with star Danny Trejo as “Machete” telling Arizona he has a special message for them. The movie’s plot deals with Machete being hired to assassinate a U.S. senator, played by Robert DeNiro, who is trying to pass a tough anit-illegal immigration law. The cast also includes Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba, Don Johnson and Steven Segal. Based on the plot, it should be a big hit with Joel Roger’s zombies at the Daily Kos, ACORN and SEIU.
Machete, a knife yielding killer, is double-crossed in the film. As it turns out, DeNiro’s character, presumably a senator from Texas, is actually behind his own assassination attempt. The purpose is to amp-up support for his new law to be passed, and get re-elected. Just the sort of conspiracy Daily Kos fans love! Especially since it’s being released by 20th Century Fox!
Needless to say, Machete does not take being double-crossed by DeNiro’s character well. So our hero-murderer rounds up a group of illegal immigrants to help him get even. The new trailer was released yesterday, on Cinco de Mayo, a holiday that celebrates the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The French invaded Mexico after it’s president, Benito Juarez, decided to stop making interest payments on the debts owed to France. Too bad there was no IMF back then.
Also yesterday, President Barack Obama spoke at a the annual White House fiesta and challenged the Congress to reform immigration laws this year. Since the passage of Arizona’s law, SB 1070, Obama has made several statements against the law, which merely requires local police departments within Arizona to enforce Federal laws. The Far Left Media and Joel Rogers have drummed up large demonstrations against SB 1070 this past weekend, organizing unions and other Leftist groups to take to the streets. Claims that SB 1070 is racist are unfounded, as the new law only requires those whom police deal with during routine traffic violations or in connection with other crimes to provide documentation on citizenship.
Obama knows full well that illegal immigration is a hot-button issue. 70% of Arizona citizens support SB 1070 due to recent increases in violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants. Arizona has spent over $1 Billion dollars just the past year on illegal immigrants, money it does not have. The call by Obama for Congress to act is seen as a method for Democrats to secure Hispanic votes this fall and to placate the Joel Rogers Progressives, union and other Far Left activists, plus readers of the Daily Kos. That Obama and “Machete” used Cinco de Mayo to further their objectives is shameless!

Obama clearly is trying to court the Hispanic community. What he fails to realize and what African americans don’t realize is that if he succeeds in legalizing all these aliens the public resources ordinarily available for the black community will be greatly diluted as a result with the obvious negative impact on blacks in this country. But….try and these people anything.

Last week the left hill was saying they had no appetite to work on immigration legislation. Only a week later, now we see them thumping on the issue. I guess it took em a whole week to realize theres another drummed up crisis they could take advantage of.
Its kind of ironic how the left bashed Bush and his administration for supposedly drumming up fake intel to make the case for Iraq when this whole movement we see is based on nothing but a total distribution of bullsht propoganda spread by race hustlers like Sharpton and far left morons. God forbid any of them ask their lemmings to actually read the bill.
Whats next ? Movies depicting the assasination of Bush ?
Wait, never mind

Hondo: People like you who make me embarrassed to be white.
May 6th, 2010 at 11:04 am
Colleen.
Guilty white liberal ?
Talk about racism, geez, you guys cant ever converse without that being your platform even if you have to foist hypocrisy upon yourself ?
Maybe you could of said that Hondo was an embarrasment to the “human’ race ?
But no, you’re ever active creative process and subliminaly racist BS endures you to say such stupid sht.
Tell me, are you aware at all of Hondos ethnicity ? Are you sure hes white ? Or are you so ignorant, bigoted and racist to assume that anyone in opposition to your immigration stance is white ?
May 6th, 2010 at 11:52 am
Micky,
Maybe Colleen thinks Hondo is the ghost of John ‘Duke’ Wayne?
Looks like 20th Century Fox pulled the version of the trailer I mentioned. Apparently, the producer cut an illegal version to protest the Arizona law. You can still see it here:

And here is the actual version, be warned contains more violence, as well as nudity and offensive language:

I hope that every American, regardless of where he lives, will stop and examine his conscience about this and other related incidents. This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened. All of us ought to have the right to be treated as he would wish to be treated, as one would wish his children to be treated, but this is not the case.
I know the proponents of this law say that the majority approves of this law, but the majority is not always right. Would women or non-whites have the vote if we listen to the majority of the day, would the non-whites have equal rights (and equal access to churches, restaurants, hotels, retail stores, schools, colleges and yes water fountains) if we listen to the majority of the day? We all know the answer, a resounding, NO!
Today we are committed to a worldwide struggle to promote and protect the rights of all who wish to be free. In a time of domestic crisis men of good will and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics and do what is right, not what is just popular with the majority. Some men comprehend discrimination by never have experiencing it in their lives, but the majority will only understand after it happens to them.

Benito, please go find yourself a soapbox and give this speech on a busy intersection in Mexico City.
May 6th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
Obama and his mafia friends are trying to create as much chaos as possible. He is pitting every one against each other. The law in Arizona is a federal law the feds will not inforce. He should be focusing on the flooding in Tennessee.
May 6th, 2010 at 1:30 pm
Colleen McGee,
Well, sweety my guess is you are an only child. I’ll just bet your mommy took one look at you and vowed to have no more children.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
Hey Benito.
I got an idea you might like.
Lets just tear down the borders, absorb and annex Mexico.
Goodwill and generosity ?
Do you even have clue as to how much money and charity goes to Mexico from here ?
Do you have any idea just how much American taxpayers pay to support those aliens that have broken our laws ?
The total comes to billions buddy, billions.
“We all know the answer, a resounding, NO!”
This total BS.
Anyone that thinks the civil rights acts in our country never would taken place is just not that bright.
If anyone is enslaving minorities today its the left with there historically consistent habit of trapping minorities in an endless paradoxial trap of entitlements and victimization
May 6th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
Illegals are criminals and should be treated as such, Benito. We are a nation of laws, or at least we’re supposed to be. Arizona is deep in red ink because of illegal aliens. California ain’t doing much better, though they’d still be in the red due to all their socialist programs. Plenty of other states are feeling the pinch thanks to 12-20 million illegals in our country. Kudos to Arizona for having the guts to stand up for the rest of us!
May 6th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
FM & M: “All Men are created equal”! The founders had it right, when attempting to form a perfect union and they also knew that they were not there yet but knew we one day would get there. Lincoln moved us forward as did JFK and LBJ. This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.
It is my contention that this AZ law is not constitutional and will fail when challenged (unless they add more amendments), pretty funny for a law that many claim is perfect, why hitch your wagon to this dead white elephant? I do not understand.
May 7th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
You guys all talk about criminals this and criminals that, but what about all the real criminals? We all (should) know that most undocumented people in the U.S. are not out committing crimes, they are here working. The Urban institute put out a publication that stated, “U.S. Social Security Administration has estimated that three quarters of undocumented immigrants pay payroll taxes, and that they contribute $6-7 billion in Social Security funds that they will be unable to claim” in addition to the taxes that they pay for renting or owning a place to live. Those are taxes that most of them do not get benefits for, since to get social benefits you need proof of citizenship and most of them are too scared to deal with the government. Arizona has been in a slump since it started passing these anti-immigration bills, that have only made part of the tax base leave Arizona for other states. Arizona is far from being socialist, Scooby.
If Arizona wanted to fix it’s deficit, or stop crime, maybe it would start collecting more taxes, since most of its revenue came from the now defunct housing industry (houses built and sold cheaply because of immigrant labor); or perhaps it would order Joe Arpaio to get out there and do real police work like catching drug dealers, molesters, and murderers (of which there is more than enough and growing in Phoenix due to his policing failures) instead of terrorizing Latino citizens.
So tell me this, micky, who is it that’s feeling victimized and entitled for no reason? Illegals have not done anything to you, so get off your high horse.
May 7th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
Oh, And by the way, Andy, that’s 70% of *Arizona likely voters*, not citizens. I’d like to remind you that Arizona has a disproportionate number of White senior citizens and that Latino, Native, and Black voters have had low numbers of participation in public policy.
May 7th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
Benito;
“FM & M: “All Men are created equal ”
Yeah, which means they have to folloow the “LAW” equally.
May 7th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
“So tell me this, micky, who is it that’s feeling victimized and entitled for no reason? Illegals have not done anything to you, so get off your high horse.”
First all, dont be so presumptuous or judgemental without damn thing about me.
My daughter is half Mexican from a mother whom I lived with for 10 years.
I worked and lived in L.A. and S.D. for 13 years. Today I’m married to a Hawaiian Portugese woman.
In the warehouse I worked at I had to learn Spanish instead of the other way around. My paper work was sabotaged by illegals resulting in my termination. The management knew I was innocent but didnt want the interacial hassle.
I dealt coke brought up by Mexican dealers and mules for about 7 years and saw the damage done to Americans. Today I’ve been clean for 14 years and rescue/intervene addicts and alcoholics.
Theres more, wanna hear it ?
I have nothing against anyone due race,or ethnicity. But I do resent people abusing a system they have no right to placing a burden on others unfairly.
Can you understand that ?
This country is the house of those that contribute to it and that house has rules that not just any schmuck can walk in off the street and circumvent.
What about that do you not understand ?
May 7th, 2010 at 3:55 pm
I wonder how many of the conservatives have been focusing on the Canadian-American border with all this immigration talk? Probably not many. I’m sure Whites get angry at all those other…Whites coming over here! Or even those Russians who marry into the country. I’m sure they crossed their minds. Please! Just face it. Whites are scared to lose their “majority”. Instead of working out an amicable law to secure borders, they’d rather resort to the SOCIALIST way of the N*zi by rounding up those who LOOK illegal. …of course, White America supports it. They’re the ones who are confident to know they won’t be stopped. I wonder why…?
May 7th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
@ Benito
In addition.
How the hell with a straight face can you sk me “whos feeling victimized for no reason”
Have you read the bill and its amenments ? HUH ?
Theres nothing for anyone to b*tch about. Its simply a state version identical to the fed version as its always been that specifically setsout protocols, procedures and guidelines that make profiling a moot subject.
So stop pumping peoples heads full of sht that makes them feel like targeted victims.
So far none of those rejecting the bill have presented one ounce of proof that it encourages profiling.
Untill it does you should all just sit down and put a sock in it because so far all you’ve done is scare and pi$$ off a lot of people resulting in riots, cops being assulted and innocent buisinesses being burnt and vandalised.
May 7th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
And I’m also an immigrant.
Who came here legally on a barge when I was 3.
May 7th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
“All Men are created equal ”
not true … but as long as they know what they are doing … it is usually ok
May 7th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
Zodiac – that is SO tiresome. Can’t you come up with another argument. IF you actually studied history and migration patterns you’d know that all white people aren’t of the same race any more than all brown people are. White people were fighting and killing each other long before they even knew there were other continents. The Greeks are different than the Germans who are different than the Anglo Saxons who are different than the Spaniards who are definitely different than the French, etc.
And, by the way, of course ppl are worried about who comes across the Canadian-US border. Terrorists have come across that border. But we don’t have Canadians flooding down here illegally in overwhelming numbers as we do with the Mexican border. As Clinton said, its about economics.
Now quit feeling so insecure and get some self-esteem and understand that everything isn’t about r*ce.
May 9th, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Tricky Mick: “folloow the “LAW” equally” Please us spell check.
May 9th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
Guess I have to agree with Beth on this one, white folks come from a slew of different races, time immemorial. The greeks are so different than icelanders, and uk’ers are different from the french. go ask em. Canadians really only come to the US as shoppers mainly and go back to their calmer quainter homes free of much of the violent urban, and now suburban blight found in the U.S.. People in Maine treat most U.S. mainlanders as people from another country, but with money. Italians and Irsish had a heck of a time gaining acceptance in the US from the northern europeans and other parts of the British Isles.

This movie is inflamatory, “misguided” to use Obama’s word, and is in the target of the Obama administration. The only problem is that it will BACKFIRE. The movie is set to be released in September. Any one know what is going to happen in NOVEMBER? The Conservative Tea Party movement already has the gas in their cars to get to the polls that day to vote out as many Deadbeat Liberals, and big spenders, and Healthcare proponents.
Watch for incendary comments coming from Obama in order to create an incendary reaction from “Misguided” Hispanics. I have spoken to several of my Hispanic fellow citizens and friends who are 2nd or 3rd generation Americans. They are going to be watching the outcome of what this movie is likely to do. This is not going to be pretty folks! Watch the trailor on this, just look up “Machete” on the web. I will be watching this, and this is the only media coverage I have seen. Congratulations! Good job Andrew!
May 10th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
Benito;
“Tricky Mick: “folloow the “LAW” equally” Please us spell check.’
Hey, thats great arguement bro !
I guess I’ll have to bow in the face of asuperior arguement.
Then again, with your level of intellect and academia I’m sure you figured out.
Now, aside from a mistake even you could make, tell me I’m wrong.
