Nativo finally comes out as a socialist
Thanks to Gustavo Arellano for his post informing us about Nativo Lopez’ latest doings. Apparently Lopez is going to be speaking at the upcoming Socialist 2006 weekend conference at Columbia University, which is scheduled for June 22-25. Lopez is described in his bio as “a leading organizer of the massive immigrant rights demonstrations in LA, and a crucial voice in the burgeoning immigrant civil rights movement. ” I guess they forgot to mention that he charges poor immigrants for his “services.” You have to love his scary picture, which appears in this post. Why would Lopez submit that to the conference organizers? What a nut. On the other hand, were he to submit this picture to the folks that will be releasing the next Superman movie in a few weeks, they might consider Lopez for a role as a villain in the sequel…
Interesting stuff. I thought he left the OC for LA, Crazy blood sucker feeding off the poor.
Kneel before Nativo!
Art you are a brave man. I’m serious about that. I agree with your thoughts on Nativo but I’ve always considered him to be a mob figure. It’s good you are not intimidated by him!
Thank you Art for posting Gustavo’s post. Just when we thought we were safe……
Art,
Have you ran of people to attack, and have resorted back to your nemesis? Has Lynn Daucher now bored you? I was so much happier when you chose to attack her and leaver everyone else alone. Now that the election is over, you return to same pigeon hole view of Nativo.
If Nativo is invited to speak at an event, who cares. I ahte listening to Lupe Moreno speak her illogical and just plain dumb remarks but I am not going to complain about it each and every time. I think the time has come for you to understand, Nativo is Nativo and will be so for a long time. Everything he does is not to upset you, it is simply because he believes in it.
That should be respected regardless of your belief in it.
Luis,
Nativo does not deserve your friendship. You know very well that he has been revealed for the huckster that he is. He preys on the poor all the while preening for the TV cameras.
There are many liberal Latinos who now see Nativo for what he is, and yet you hang on to your memories. Time to move on Luis. He is not worthy of your devotion.
Ask Gustavo and Claudio about Nativo. You cannot affix the Republican label to them as you do to me. The truth hurts, but it will also set you free.
Nativo is not bad, he is just misunderstood.
Luis obviously believes in the same things Nativo does, otherwise he wouldn’t defend him so much each and everytime someone exposes the flea-infested rat.
Luis reminds me of Jubal over at the Carona kool-aid drinking OC Blog. Carona is a dirty scumbag but since Jubal, aka Matt Cunningham, likes rubbing shoulders with the GOP “elites”, he does his best to defend Carona or censor anyone who say anything that hits too close to home. I wonder how often Luis and Nativo have a cold beer together?
Birds of a feather, flock together
I do happen to believe in many things Nativo does, such as the rights for the immigrant workers in the U.S. I also believe in Unions, social welfare, and I am against most discriminatory practices such as the PIP in Santa Ana which target a specific ethnicity.
Perhaps to your surprise, I see Nativo maybe once a year. As far as why I hang on to what he believes in, besides the fact, I agree with some of his issues (not all) it is because unlike most politicians, Nativo has not once changed his viewpoint regarding his platform. We all know his platform, and for that many of you hate him. That is ok, but I respect people who stand by there positions and do not back down whatsoever. Name a person who does the same, and I will respect that too, plain and simple. I believe Nativo is willing to lose his life for what he believes in. Can anyone find another public figure who would do the same?
Then there is the supposed “benefit” he gains from doing all this, but have any of you seen his house, car, money? He is as broke as anyone else in Santa Ana.
Carona is a dirty scumbag but since Jubal, aka Matt Cunningham, likes rubbing shoulders with the GOP “elites”, he does his best to defend Carona or censor anyone who say anything that hits too close to home.
I think it’s worse than that. I think Jubal and Lurk are under direct orders from the GOP elites.
The boogeyman is back! Is Claudia Alvarez now running this blog? All of you Nativo-obsessors, listen up – You too, Art:
Its a bad obsession
it’s always messing
always messing your mind
Its a bad obsession
it’s always messing
always messing your mind
but you can’t stop thinking ’bout
doin it one more time
oh no, oh no
too bad, you’re F***** up!
Nativo – SNORE! Next post will have him linked with global warming, Katrina, and the spread of avian flu. Get a new boogeyman, and a new topic.
Art you are way too smart and have way to too much to say to beat THIS dead horse . . .
“Sometimes I feel like you’re beatin’ a dead horse
An I don’t know why you’d be bringin’ this down
I’d like to think that our blog’s worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you’d think by now
we’d have moved on
I guess some things never change
Never change”
Apologies to Axl, who has almost as many issues as some posters here . . .

Adolph Hitler
Fidel Castro
Joseph McCarthy
Pat Buchanen
You forgot Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reiley, Shawn Hannity . . .
Wow, now we are exteding the spectrum. Comparing Nativo to international public figures.
Lets all come back to reality now. Need I say more?
“but I respect people who stand by there positions and do not back down whatsoever. Name a person who does the same, and I will respect that too, plain and simple.”
I guess you must respect me then eh?
Thomas,
Believe it or not, I do.
You have been consistent on your issues and for that can be respected. At times, I think you get emotional and spew out some hateful words, like I am sure I would do as well, but all in all, you should be respected.
You are a Gentleman and should be commended for your kind words.
Get a life Art. Nativo has done more for the community then you ever will. You hatred for Nativo is obvious and your continual rants about him show just how dillusional you are.
9:31,
I agree – Nativo has done more to screw us than I ever have. Look at what he did to the SAUSD. He ruined our bond and we ended up with a lot less schools, all so he could hire his friend as the construction manager. What a jerk. He put his friends ahead of the needs of the district and the kids. That is unforgivable.
Art,
How many years has it been since the recall? Are you going to honestly tell me, things are still all screwed up because of Nativo?
No, my friend, the problem lies elsewhere. Take a look at the administration.
The District has had enough time to “recoup” from Nativo, there are no excuses.
Nativo is simply an easy target for everyone, but he is not guilty.
Nativo didn’t ruin the bond; you can thank Mike Vail for over shooting his plans to spend the $145 million. BTW .. did you know that Mike Vail is back? Yep, and we’re paying him some outrageous consultant fee. It would be nice if the taxpayers knew how much he’s raking in, but that’s an attorney/client privilege and we do not have access to that information. Isn’t that Mijares cozy?
Looks like we’re getting screwed on both ends.
Save your ire for Mijares; he’s been the one constant throughout this bond mess.
