MALDEF angry at Rush Limbaugh

The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund is angry at Rush Limbaugh.

The group this week condemned the conservative radio host for saying he thought Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, was “a shoe shine guy” or a Secret Service agent when he met him at an event last year. Former President Bill Clinton introduced the two.

Limbaugh made the comment on his radio show.

In a letter to Limbaugh, MALDEF President John Trasvina said the characterization “speaks volumes about your view of America and the role or status of people who do not fit your preconceived notion of what an elected official should be.”

He added: “Perhaps as our community continues to increase its presence as the teachers, lawyers, professionals and civic leaders that our country depends on, you will finally move beyond your outdated mindset which attempts to exclude an entire American population from being the leaders of this nation.”

Latino groups have become more aggressive about objecting to rhetoric in the media.

Several Hispanic organizations recently complained about a report on the CBS Evening News about immigrants who give birth to children in the United States. They said the segment was unfair and one-sided.

In addition, several Hispanic groups started a Web site — www.wecanstopthehate.org — to monitor what they called “hate speech” in the media.
