David Benavides caught with Minuteman Lupe Moreno
I met last night with Naui Huitzilopochtli and he graciously allowed me to borrow his video clips of the footage he shot at the Santa Ana Independence Day event on July 3, that was taken over by the Minuteman.
Naui said that he saw Republican volunteers registering voters. He approached them just as they were trying to connive a woman into registering as one of them. When he saw this he quickly asked her if she really wanted to be a Republican. Oh no, she replied, I am a Democrat. Naui wasn’t sure how many voters were fraudulently registered that day.
In the video you will see that Anita Hynds, a Minuteman, immediately started screeching at Naui to go away, even though he wasn’t doing anything wrong.
You will also see Santa Ana Councilman David Benavides literally bowing to Lupe Moreno, as she gives him instructions.
Click here to watch the video and to read the rest of this post.
You see a man “bowing down” to a woman (implying submitting) and “taking instructions” from her.
Rational people, uncolored by an agenda, see a man leaning over to talk to a fat seated woman who’s too fat and lazy to stand up. And we have no idea what was said, so those same rational people can’t conclude that he was “taking instructions” from her.
But nice attempt at spin!
gee i wonder if they had a clip of the dems at hermanda who signed up illegals to vote . years ago. when they put in bubble head sanchez .
This video is proof that council member Benavides was correct in his actions and the other members were tricked with miss-leading rhetoric on who was the evil doer(s).
This particular “roast” or “anit-Benavides” ranting has continuing theme. To embarrass and humiliate a councilmember, based on other peoples actions.
Naui’s continuing theme on this (his) video.
All Latino’s are immigrants, all are here with anchor babies meaning that they don’t belong here?, and everyone else is a “minuteman”.
Why does he call all the Latino’s at this event “Immigrants”? with anchor babies? And he calls these people Mexicans with anchor babies, and use’s “minutemen” as a derogatory term to described some white people and even non-white people?
Naui, speaking on the video, and use’s the “derogatory adjectives” throughout the video.
(His use of the adjectives in the manner he is using them is what make those adjective derogatory) ( Also it is the listeners perspective and not the speaker who determines if the adjective is derogatory) (just like the other video where the “W” word was used.)
So we have Naui, doing “ Racial PROFILING” of people, “Mexicans with anchor babies”, “minuteman”, “Immigrants”, “Majority of people here are migrates”.
So we have Naui, using descriptive adjectives in a manner that is DEROGATORY.
Per se: minuteman”, “Immigrants, anchor babies.
( He can’t know if an individual is a immigrant or a minutemen without knowing the back ground of each and every person who was there.)
Thought-out this video, Naui has shown that he was there to cause problems, he profiled individuals and labeled them with descriptive adjectives in a derogatory manner.
Couple this with the other video and it is obvious who had used the descriptive adjective “W” in a derogatory manner, as a slur and who does racial profiling of people for the purpose of abuse and humiliation.
COOK . this nau chipolti guy what ever he calls himself is a al sharpton /jesse of mexicans . always spins it to look like the other side are up to no good . this guy should get a job at mshatebc . he would fit right in with that crowd .
As former Councilmembers Alberta Christy and Tony Espinoza before her found out, it’s impossible to lose in this Santa Ana Council Ward running as an imcumbent. Why you may ask? Because 99.9% (The area where Espinoza lived is the only not quite as much of a slum neighborhood. Even though he had one of only 8 city paid for home loans and a huge financial incentive to stay put, he couldn’t take it any more and moved to Tustin) of this council Ward is a war zone. Seriously, who in their right mind would move to the Valley High neighborhood just to run for City Council? So you can go after Benavides, and I’m glad you are, but it will take a change in Ward boundries to get rid of him.
Myrtle Street Boys,
Right. And Benavides continues to live there because he hates Mexicans. LOL
Oh, and just to clear up a possible misperception in your comment, Benavides lived there well before choosing to run for Council.
As an outsider observing, I wouldn’t go so far as to say “Benavides hates Mexicans.” I just get the impression that he doesn’t consider the big recession-era immigrant-bashing craze to be such a big problem as some of us do.
Why, because he chose not to cower under the pressure of an innuendo-laden smear campaign?
C’mon Vern, you’re better than that.
anon,
Say what you will but the truth is that Benavides has now destroyed any chance he had of following Jose Solorio to the State Assembly. Why? Because he was too proud to admit that he made a huge mistake. Pride goeth before the fall…
“C’mon Vern, you’re better than that.”……… he is not!
Vern,
“recession-era immigrant-bashing” is the smoke screen. The fear is “purity of race”
The flag waving, and civil rights of “Mexicans” above all else (even the laws of USA),
That argument is a “Purity of Race” argument.
cook,
The only people in this scandal who are seeking purity of race are your pals the Minutemen.
The flag waving, and civil rights of “Mexicans” above all else (even the laws of USA),
That argument is a “Purity of Race” argument.
If you’re talking about ANYBODY, Cook, you’re talking about some goofy La Raza extremist.
If they represent latino immigrants, you could just as well say the KKK represents us. So don’t go there.
Vern, Cook is right and you are totally wrong!
@ Vern:
You are correct with this statement.
To suggest that a goofy Raza extremist represents, Americans of Latino/Hispanic or Mexican descent is totally off-the-wall.
And you are also correct, this would be as stupid as saying that since White Racial Supremacists are White, that therefore all Whites are racists, and that they are represented by White Racial Supremacists.
Furthermore, Hate or Extremism of any kind from any side is Un-American.

anon,
You are quite the spinster. You just try and get people looking the other way by trying to deflect criticism of Benavides onto others.
Nobody said Benavides “hates Mexicans”. He just seems to love to cozy up to those that do, i.e. the “usual suspects” and Lupe Moreno and her supporters.
The city council has supported Lupe Moreno organizing this event for several years. The events objective is to educate school age children about the US constitution and our independance. No one I believe can oppose this.
In doing the above the city council has stablished a working realtionship with Moreno and her supporters. They all support the group’s mission.
I believe Benavides presenting the group with a certificate of appreciation for educating children about the USA constitution and our Independance is great.
Benavides was not deviating from the council. The council had given support to Moreno to do what he was presenting them a certificate for doing. Exactly what the council had supported the Moreno group to do.
The fall out is nothing but political manipulation to cause division between neighbors.
I do not agree with Moreno’s misplaced hate but I do support our children know and appreciate our constitution and our Independace.
Lomeli,
Did you see the video? The Minuteman in the video very clearly stated the objective – to teach kids about the 4th of July BECAUSE ALL THEY KNOW ABOUT IS CINCO DE MAYO. How did you miss that? These haters clearly think our children are stupid. Our kids learn about this holiday at school. They don’t need Moreno and her haters coming to our town to preach to them.
I also made it clear in my comments that your fellow Republicans used this event to register voters. Again, not good. Moreno turned this into a political event for her pals in the GOP and the Minutemen. As you are a Republican I expect you are OK with that. However this is an abuse of public property and should NOT have been allowed.
I have never known this event to take place before so that too is a smokescreen.
The facts are simple. Moreno brought Minutemen to our town from all over the County. She used this event to advocate for her political party. Benavides was there, he saw all this and still agreed to honor these people. Now he is paying the price for this. He is finished. He, like Bustamante, may win his council race but that’s it for Benavides. He has destroyed his chance to go to Sacramento.
Can we assume that, as a representative of Al Amezcua’s campaign that you are speaking for him?
Dr. Lomeli,
It does not look like you copy your comment from wiki but it is still gravely wrong.
Fiala,
What all of you fail to realize is that it really does not help Benavides to have you, Cook, etc. standing up for him. You would all help him more by simply leaving him to his sad fate.
I disagree because you are unable to see facts with your eyes filled by the hate for whites.
Art
“it really does not help Benavides to have you, Cook, etc. standing up for him. ”
You may be right. We will find out this November.
And after the election and the vote totals are tallied, I expect that Benavides will walk away with the largest win count of all members running and maybe the highest election count ever in a Santa Ana council election.
cook,
Even if that somehow happens his hopes of an Assembly career are OVER.
Cook,
Mexican is not a “race”. Your argument is corrupt.
Dr Lomeli
I was using “race” is a looser way / term, as it was being used in the video in this post by Naui.
I Appreciate your comments “I believe Benavides presenting the group with a certificate of appreciation for educating children about the USA constitution and our Independence is great.” That is my opinion also.
You all assume that David planned all of this out. I just think he is a nice guy who has no political smarts. End of story.
Benavides and the Jets,
He was amply warned. He ignored the warnings. This goes beyond stupidity. He has insulted the people of our city by allying with Minutemen.
Pedroza,
I am speaking for myself. I do not speak for any campaign.
i did not miss anything in the video. The man said they are their to educate children about our constitution and independence because the council does not worry about it. He said the council pays for Cinco De Mayo but not for this. The fact is that the city apparently does not pay for either, he was wrong.
“to teach kids about the 4th of July BECAUSE ALL THEY KNOW ABOUT IS CINCO DE MAYO. How did you miss that? These haters clearly think our children are stupid. Our kids learn about this holiday at school. They don’t need Moreno and her haters coming to our town to preach to them.”
This is not said in the video. No one said our children are stupid. You hear what fits your agenda.
If the organizers used the event for something other than what the permit allowed, then the city government should of corrected it. They do it for the Mexican Independence and Cinco De Mayo events.
I just want to be fair. This is nothing but a witch hunt for political manipulation.
Dear Mr. Pedroza,
Please address Dr. Lomeli as “Dr. Lomeli” not “Lomeli”. You are being disrespectful to a man who has earned that title.
Also, David has never said he wants to go on to higher office.
4th St. Merchant,
I will address folks however which way I want to. If you don’t like it may I suggest you not read this blog so as to protect your thin-skinned sensibilities.
And yes David has in fact expressed an interest in the Assembly. Those dreams are however now quite dashed. Like Bustamante he has destroyed himself in his party’s eyes.
Dr. Lomeli, being medical “professional” you have no clue what race means.
Obviously, if you had affirmative action education.
4th Street Merchant,
I love to use his “Dr.” in front of Lomeli it shows how uneducated he is…. His title is an embarrassment and I would go even further, it is offensive/racist and hateful to him.

OK??????
“I will address folks however which way I want to”
Of course Art. I’m just saying it’s rude to address a man who has that title by his last name. It shows a lack of respect. If your dad made a comment on this blog would you call him Pedroza? You could at least say, Mr. Lomeli or Art if you know him on a first name basis but to call him “Lomeli” is a slap in the face to a professional man.
4th Street Prickly Merchant,
It shows I was in a hurry. Get a grip.

You are delusional. Please take your medicine.
hey this bickering is great . it reminds me of that clueless boxer . PLEASE ADDREES ME AS SENATOR . HAAAAAA
Councilman Benavides had several options:
1) He could have given a certificate to the GROUP, and NOT to the INDIVIDUALS, to avoid the appearance of honoring or lending credibility to hate identified groups or hate identified INDIVIDUALS, especially after he was warned about them, or because he needs to ensure citizens and residents are treated with respect and in an ethical manner.
2) Assuming that this event had taken place before, he could have also pushed to have the city take greater ownership or have greater involvement, and although the City can not prevent certain individuals from participating, the City could have ENSURED GREATER participation by our very diverse community, and not just monopolized by hate groups or individuals with extremist views.
3) If you see the second video posted by Naui, you see that the Anita Hynds lady was already telling Naui to get out of there…so even though this is supposed to be an INCLUSIVE event, she is attempting to EXCLUDE him from Santa Ana PUBLIC property (And I think she may be a resident from Yorba Linda). So again, why would Councilman Benavides attempt to honor hate identified individuals, especially if they are attempting to deny access to PUBLIC property???
foraveragejoe,
Exactly! And yes, Hynds is from Yorba Linda. She had no business coming to spread hate in our city. This same woman went the next week to the Westminster City Council and tried to berate them into supporting SB 1070.
