Clay Waters devotes a May 6 MRC TimesWatch item to smearing Obama adviser Cecilia Munoz and the advocacy organization for which she used to work.
Waters calls Munoz “Obama’s chief amnesty pusher” — ignoring the fact that comprehensive immigration reform that requires numerous steps before an illegal immigrant is allowed to become a citizen is, by definition, not “amnesty” — and complained that a New York Times article on her buried “Munoz’s history as a lobbyist for the left-wing separatist group National Council of La Raza (‘La Raza’ means ‘the race’).” Waters also called La Raza “a radical pro-Hispanic group.”
In fact, La Raza — which actually means “the people” or “the community” — is not “radical” or “separatist” but, rather, an advocacy group for Hispanics.
But facts aren’t the MRC’s strong suit when there are liberals to bash.
