So I realize the Mexica Movement is taken worth a grain of salt by basically everybody, and weighed whether or not it was worth giving them any more ink to address their recent libelous statements about me. Their first reaction to my column on the Mexicas was in the form of two letters to the editor, one to the Daily News and one to the Daily Breeze. The letter writer, Carlos Cordova, said that I wrote for WorldNetDaily.com, which I never have, and finished with a grossly insulting insinuation that my piece was tied to white supremacist groups. The Daily News cut those parts from the letter before publication, yet the Daily Breeze ran it in full. After I contacted the Daily Breeze about the letter-writer's errors, they graciously ran a correction in the next issue.

Looking at the Mexicas' most updated post about my column, Cordova's latest letter contains extra tidbits that apparently were not included in his drafts to the newspapers. While keeping the erroneous WorldNetDaily reference in there, he adds that I contribute to Jewish World Review's Political Mavens -- which is true; other "notoriously right-wing" contributors include former Mayor Richard Riordan, director David Zucker and "24" producer Joel Surnow -- and adds a reference to Klan bastard David Duke at the end, again suggesting collusion.

In an updated intro on their site, they state that I support "white supremacists" and have "ties to white supremacists." This, of course, is pure libel, and purely disgusting as well. In context, though, this group will call anyone who is against illegal immigration or in favor of immigration reform a white supremacist, realizing that vile phrase has a lot of bomb-throwing power. All racial or ethnic supremacist groups, groups that practice the belief that their race or ethnicity is superior, are equally evil and deplorable. This includes white, black, and Mexican or indigenous groups. All racism is bad. "White power," "black power," "brown power" -- all bad.

And for the record, I support the Senate compromise legislation on immigration reform. Needless to say, the Mexicas' assessments of my supposed allegiances and alliances are so off base there are no words to describe it.
