Univision is hardly liberal. Same with hispanics. But they do care about making immigration easier for other hispanics. They probably want the same deal Cubans have.



Good luck with that, eh?

That univision show, Al Punto, is pushing for amnestey for those that immigrate here illegally. I wish they were pushing for an easier system to allow legal immigration, which I think we need, but they are pushing for the legalization of criminal behavior on that specific show which is at the crux of the story in this thread.

You know what the criteria for Cubans, are?

You make it to shore..and you are in.

Simple as that.

You know any other group that has that arrangement?

 

[Claudette]

Was it as interesting as Obama's uncle getting busted for Drunk driving?

How about Bill Ayers?

How about the good Reverend Wright?

Hey..you guys wanted to go down this route of guilt by association.

Well here come the chickens you hatched.

Like it much?

Little different scenario there S.

Last I heard no one tried to strong arm anyone into giving any interviews about the above.

What?

Seriously?

Obama was interviewed on FOX. Several times. And mainly because of criticism that he wasn't giving them equal time.

Rubio can avoid Univision at his own peril.

Lots of Hispanics tune in.

You think he was strongarmed into appearing on FOX?? I have to say that I doubt that big time.

I would have thought mayby he appeared because of the huge audience that FOX has. Good PR for him. You know. Get his thoughts and message out there.

Once the story is out there I don't think Rubio will have to worry about Uniwhatever.

This should be interesting.

And demonstrates some courage, in my opinion.

I don't know about that. I have no idea if Univision tried to strong arm Rubio.
I'm curious to know why Rubio was afraid to go on their network as as far as I can tell, Univision is sympathetic to Republicans.

now you know they did

Uh, no, I don't.

Actually, we don't 'know'. We have allegations. I see no reason why anyone would make those allegations up.... And I am inclined to go with the facts as presented.... mainly because every time I don't, some whiny assed poster complains about it.

If the story as presented is true, then I respect each of the candidates who is refusing to participate.

Can't blame you on any skepticism of media, they seem to malign stories so often now.

No and the cubans shouldn't have that arrangement either, its unfair to people from every other country.

Thats what the story says, maybe the story is wrong but if the story that you brought up is true then thats the case.

All you got to do is wait and the repubs always do themselves in. No way they can get a lot of votes w/o the Hispanics

Latinos aren't all inclusive and don't all vote and think alike,, unlike demonRats.. Rubio is a Cuban Latino which is far far far different than a Mexican Latino.. they vote and think differently.. see?

Also from the link

As frustration with Rubio mounted among Univision's higher-ups, the network's new investigations team began looking into the drug arrest of his brother-in-law, Orlando Cicilia, in 1987, when Rubio was 16.

Three of Rubio's friends and political allies — U.S. Rep. David Rivera, state House leader Carlos Lopez-Cantera, and Miami-Dade Republican Chairman Erik Fresen — called for the Univision boycott in a letter Monday to the Republican National Committee

Interesting story. At one level news is news. But how does the fate of one drug bust 23 years ago rate as news? It might be interesting if it were Rubio's drug bust. But his brother in law's? What other news are they going to dig up? That is grandpa spent time in jail for sedition against Batista? If that were the case, would that be relavant?

If this is the worst they got on Rubio they really need to give up.

Was it as interesting as Obama's uncle getting busted for Drunk driving? Not an interesting story to me at all, but reported by CBS, Fox, CNN, AP, Reuters and others. Guess they thought it interesting because it's a blood relative of the president.

How about Bill Ayers? Let's see. An unrepentant American terrorist (quoted, ironically, in the NY Times on 9/11/01..."I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough.") whom Barry tried to pass off as just a guy in the neighborhood even though they worked closely together for years at Chicago Annenberg Challenge and Billy hosted his coming out party to announce Barry's candidacy for the Illinois senate. Sorry, a close association with a known and unrepentant American terrorist trumps Rubio's brother-in-law's drug arrest for me.

How about the good Reverend Wright? Ditto above. Sitting in the pews of this racist for 20 years, right up to during his campaign time does it for me. And the frosting on the cake is Barry did eventually have to toss his ass under the bus.

Like it much? I'm OK with you having to tend with all those chickens.

Sure you do, you know full well they tried to black mail him. But since you are a partisan hack with zero integrity, and he is an infidel, you support their acts

I'm curious to know why Rubio was afraid to go on their network as as far as I can tell, Univision is sympathetic to Republicans.

Univision is almost as sympathetic to Republicans as you and Harry Reid are, short bus.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Obama was interviewed about his drunk ass uncle?

Shallow is flailing wildly.

No one pays much attention to him.

 

[Ravi]

Uh, no, I don't.

Thats what the story says, maybe the story is wrong but if the story that you brought up is true then thats the case.

Yeah, I know what it says.

I've no idea who is telling the truth.

Univision has a lot of clout among Latinos so that is why I think this should all be very interesting.
