			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Southern Poverty Law Center's <strong>Intelligence Report</strong> (<a href="http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=1087#" target="_blank">Fall/09</a>) is calling attention to <strong>Pacifica Radio</strong> network member station <strong>KPFK</strong> for airing the Spanish-English show <strong>La Causa</strong>'s "naked anti-Semitism."</p>
<p>According to the SPLC, the weekly program's hosts, Augustín Cebada and Rafael Tlaloc, "are more than just passive enablers of anti-Semitic rhetoric:</p>
<blockquote><p>They actively promote conspiracy theories about Jewish control of media and world governments, referring to Ponzi scheme crook Bernie Madoff as "that Jewish scam artist." Tlaloc said he felt no sympathy for Madoff's victims, many of whom were Jewish, because they were "shylocks and shysters."...<br />
<!--preview-break--><br />
<strong>La Causa</strong> is tightly linked to <strong>La Voz de Aztlán</strong>, a rabidly anti-Semitic website based in Whittier, California. <strong>La Voz de Aztlán</strong> has been <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=186" target="_blank">identified</a> as a hate website by the Southern Poverty Law Center.</p>
<p><strong>La Causa</strong> hosts and callers often reference <strong>La Voz de Aztlán</strong> as a credible source of information, and <strong>La Voz de Aztlán</strong> webmaster Hector Carreon has been interviewed on <strong>La Causa</strong> as a legitimate political analyst. Although a recording of that 2007 interview is no longer available in the <strong>KPFK</strong> online archives, Carreon boasts about an ongoing collaboration with <strong>La Causa</strong> on the <strong>La Voz de Aztlán</strong> website.</p></blockquote>
<p>This would all be deplorable enough content from any outlet, but the SPLC tells us the 50-year-old <strong><a href="http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1910">KPFK</a></strong> not only is "the most powerful public radio station in the Western United States, according to its website," but also has a mission statement that aspires to "a lasting understanding between nations and between the individuals of all nations, races, creeds and colors."</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Southern Poverty Law Center's Mark Potok has the latest (<strong>HateWatch</strong>, <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2009/03/19/lou-dobbs-reluctantly-offers-a-rare-apology-for-nativist-rhetoric/" target="_blank">3/19/09</a>) on <strong>CNN</strong>'s "Lou Dobbs, the <a href="http://www.fair.org/blog/2009/03/20/lou-dobbs-celebrates-america-by-slurring-asians/">insult-spewing</a> Latino-basher":</p>
<blockquote><p>Dobbs, of course, is known for regularly pushing <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/news/item.jsp?sid=94">defamatory falsehoods</a> about undocumented immigrants--they fill one third of American prison and jail cells, they're part of a secret Mexican plan to "reconquer" the American Southwest, they are largely responsible for a spate of 7,000 recent leprosy cases.... Even when Dobbs isn't hosting his own show, his fill-in hosts spew such <a href="http://www.fair.org/blog/2009/03/11/immigrants-stealing-the-stimulus/">racist propaganda</a> as the lie about subprime housing loans going to 5 million "illegal aliens."</p>
<p>But Dobbs may have outdone himself on March 10, <!--preview-break--> when he launched into a furious tirade against President Barack Obama, who earlier that day gave a major speech on education reform from the Hispanic Chamber's Washington, D.C., offices.</p>
<p>"I don't know what’s happened to this White House, but the wheels appear to have come completely off here over the last several days," Dobbs fulminated. "Making a decision to talk about a national initiative on education from the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, which is effectively an organization that is interested in the export of American capital and production to Mexico and Mexico's export of drugs and illegal aliens to the United States. This is crazy stuff."</p></blockquote>
<p>Potok agrees at least with the "crazy" part, considering that the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in fact "is well known as a relatively conservative, pro-business organization that represents the interests of more than 2.5 million Hispanic-owned businesses." Dobbs' smear was so egregious that "the man who has in the past <a href="http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=3102">utterly refused</a> to retract false allegations, actually offered up a 'correction.'" But, while "it wasn't known if that was prompted by his <strong>CNN</strong> overlords, the angry demands for a retraction from the Hispanic Chamber, or his own guilty conscience," Potok is "betting it wasn't the latter."</p>
