Against my better judgment I'm going to post this flyer my friend Tino sent me.
I still have my reservations about this march. I'm afraid that violent and irresponsible Anarchist influence might risk Latinos getting involved in a fight they didn't start.
Overall, I object to the liberal white women at the head of this march. Latinos have more at stake on this issue and they should be leading this effort - THEY ARE NOT.
Still, I'm all for NON-VIOLENT protest against a group extremists like the Minutemen.
And it's worth noting that, as of now, this isn't an action that has it's roots in the Latino community . . . This effort is led by mostly white people, liberals and anarchists whom I don't like. TKC inside info: There's no permit for this march.
No one knows if this effort will garner wide spread support from the Latino community but I can say for certain that it's not an effort that TKC "Kansas City's Most Important Latino" is comfortable completely endorsing.
you're a moron tony....if this thing goes south i will blame you and your racist blog for promoting violence!
ReplyDeleteBased on the spelling and grammar the poster looks like it was written by someone whose English is a second--or third--language.
ReplyDeleteWhy not post the one in Spanish? Will they protest while carrying the Mexican flag?
Already working on an alibi you #1 KC racist! What a coward and hate-monger. You contribute nothing positive to this country or this city. You're a fluke of the universe, Tony. Living off momma, porn and illegals. How much lower can a grown man go? You're an affront to the human race.
ReplyDeleteMy compliments Tony. Your biggest fans and most loyal readers of the site are the folks who hate you.
ReplyDeleteI don't see any spelling mistakes but there has to be some connection to the Latino Community if there is Spanish translation provided. I hope these people know that more people in Kansas City actually support the Minutemen than most of the minority bitching.
ReplyDeleteTHERE IS NO PERMIT FOR THIS MARCH... Jeez tony!! Viva la revolution, if they let us?
ReplyDeleteYou are a silly man child.
AND "the revolution will not be televised!!!!"
Go. have a good walk, smile for the cameras, wave to old lady semler, make Larry Sells nervous and then enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Latinos getting involved in a fight they didnt start? You're wrong. You and momma did start this fight!
ReplyDeleteWhite woman..white people you dont like? You're the fucking racist.
You and momma wont be there because you're both cowards. You both like to stir the pot but when push comes to shove you're no where to be found. It was fun wasnt it Tony and Rita. Dont quit now. The party's just starting.
This is more of a Tony flyer he made up. Notice the wording "racist vigilante group".
ReplyDeleteHe's been saying this for months. Really ,a church wouldn't protest.
How long did it take you to create this ?
Jesus had Judas.
Kansas City has Tony.
Friggin white posters, you too pouty painty-painty YOU ARE ALL MORONS!
ReplyDeleteFunny how white people like to throw the word "racist" around to hide their own feelings. Can always tell when white people are posting. Back at 'cha, gringos.
Pots calling the kettles black, like you all reek of bravery with your anonymous rantings.
Oh wait, you do reek, time to use some more deodorant for those underarms. You all might want to douche a little more too, anonypusses and anonypussies!
And then do us all a favor - go to the march doesn't really matter what side you are on with targets posted on your groin areas and your backsides. You all sound like you could use a good stiff one in one or both of your lower orifices.
Group hug.
What a bunch of losers.
I'm there, I could careless about anarchists.
ReplyDeleteI'm going just so I can kick Tony's biggest fan square in the nuts and do the happy dance on his head! That has to be the dumbest comment I've read in a while.
ReplyDeleteTony file for a permit and lead a peaceful march.
ReplyDeleteProblem solved.
God I hate hipsters.
ReplyDeleteLet’s see here … the “march” is being held at 4:00 on a Friday afternoon. I don’t know about you, Tony, but most of my friends and associates actually work for a living. (Drop me an e-mail and I’ll tell you what that feels like.) Of the friends and associates who work, they usually do so until at least 4:30 or 5:00 – sometimes until 7:00 or 8:00, depending on the circumstances.
ReplyDeleteWhich raises a couple of interesting questions:
1. Exactly what type of audience are the organizers of this “march” hoping to attract? Homeless people? Unemployed people who have nothing better to do and who are looking for a free meal? Posers who claim to be behind the Hispanic community but are simply looking for a way to cut out of work a couple of hours early? People who just want to get on TV? La Raza wannabe's? Tony’s friends and immediate family? I think I’ll put my money on all of the above.
2. Why wasn’t the march held this weekend – say Saturday or Sunday – instead of next Friday? Most people don’t work weekends, so the attendance would probably be much higher attendance. Higher attendance equals greater attention from the media, which is perfect – local television stations are always looking for items to report on during the weekends when there isn’t as much action. Moreover, they wouldn’t be competing with the Minutemen for attention; they’d have a week’s head start on the alleged “conference,” and thus, that much more media coverage.
That said, I think I know why the group behind this march didn’t get a permit. Allow me to go into some details and do a little speculating.
For an organization to obtain a permit for a block party, the organization would need to submit an application at least 30 days in advance of the party, and have a petition signed by at least 60 percent of the residents in the area giving their permission to hold such a party. The organization would also have to submit a $30 application fee.
For a festival permit, an organization would have to follow many of the same procedures as that for a block party, with one exception being a larger application fee.
For a non-profit special event, an organization would have to follow many of the same procedures, and obtain agreements and clearances from the fire department and property owner, as well as a diagram of the location where the event would be held.
All of this information is readily available at kcmo.org, but there are certain steps and procedures one needs to complete in order for a permit to be approved. In other words, getting a permit for a march would take a little WORK and PLANNING, in addition to MONEY – but why go through all that trouble? Instead, just put up a poorly worded flyer and let a local activist with a not-so-subtle pro-Hispanic agenda pretend to agonize about posting it on his site before making it available for all to see.
You really are a piece of work, Tony. I'm sure you will enjoy the march; I just don’t know if you’ll be able to get up that early.

One more thing, Tony. Regarding your comment that this march doesn't have its roots in the Latino community:
ReplyDelete1. KC Revolution has one female pastor. She's from Ecuador.
2. The contact number for the "summit" to be held after the march is for Judy Ancel. Here's here bio courtesy of UMKC:
http://www.umkc.edu/labor-ed/staff.htm
Judy Ancel
Director
Judy has been the Director of The Institute for Labor Studies since 1988. She teaches many of ILS's classes and especially loves teaching labor history, leadership and mobilization, and global economic issues. She has a B.A. from Stanford and M.A. in History from C.U.N.Y. She began teaching in community colleges in the 1970s. She has also worked in an electronics factory and a pump factory where she was a lathe machinist. She has been an activist all her life and a union activist and organizer in both the United Steelworkers and American Federation of Teachers.
She coordinates The Heartland Labor Forum, labor's radio show in Kansas City on Community Radio KKFI 90.1 FM. She is President of the Board of Directors of The Cross Border Network for Justice and Solidarity, a non-profit organization which develops ties and mutual understanding between working people in the Kansas City area and maquiladora workers in Mexico and educates about immigration in the global economy. She has also served on the Executive Committee of The Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras, a San Antonio-based tri-national non-governmental organization which educates and advocates on maquiladora worker issues.
No roots in the Latino community? Methinks you've eaten one too many snack cakes, bwana.

Judy sounds like a really Hispanic-rooted liberal white woman. Next up - you reveal that she is married to an black man or woman - so she understands ALL about racism, too!
ReplyDeleteIf one searched the TKC archives, how many thousands of posts would contain evidence of your efforts to incite some violence? I think you're awful worried because you know Tony that inciting is not protected speech and this is why you're doing this pussy dance as an alibi.
ReplyDeleteYou've probably gone on some blogger bulimic quest to vet your archives of anything that could possibly look bad, but don't forget all of places mirror copies of your pages on the internet. Google. Archive.org, just to name a few.
Hopefully nothing will go south on this little "protest" you and your closest three friends are going to march in, otherwise you might get a lot of people asking hard questions.
I think the lesson here is that your mouth go you in a bind. Again.
Tony, I am one of the white women who worked on planning this. There are several Hispanic groups and people involved. And African Americans too. It's a very diverse group.
ReplyDeleteThe reason the march is at 4:00 is because it is dark at 5:00 and the minutemen event begins at 6:00. We don't want to confront them, we are just making a statement (which I think you would agree with Tony) about our lack of tolerance for hate in KC.
You don't need a permit to march unless you are doing it in the street. We will be on the sidewalk.
Hoping to see you there, Tony!!
Damn, not having an account means you can't edit posts. Anyway, to add to the above.
ReplyDeletePeople are getting out of hand with this "anarchist" march. What started as a noble cause, as in people opposed to hate, turned into nothing but a hate fueled fool fest.
Ironic that the "Love our neighbors" thing is polluted with people who are opposed to the free speech of another. One random parks board appointee, who has a legally protected right to associate with whomever she wants, is free to believe what she wants.
This is another example of "multiculturalism" trying to censor free speech.
And seriously? What the fuck is an "anarchist?" Grow the fuck up. You can't be 13 and wear black clothes for your entire life.
The lack of planning comment is out in left field. We started planning this as soon as we heard about the minutemen coming, several months ago.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have to point out the errors in the flyer. I sure don't see any.
Oh and yes there IS a Spanish version.
I'm going to march to protest fat asses. I'm against fat asses like my own. And by march I mean jog.
ReplyDeleteIf it's violent let's all blame Tony.
ReplyDeleteI predict 10 burned out but good natured Hippies pulled from Its a Beautiful day and a dozen or so day laborers.
ReplyDeleteProtesting in the street is for Proletarians.
By gosh, I think Beef Supreme's got it right.
ReplyDeleteSo, my two daughters come home exited, upset, and angry because they said "The Ku Klux Klan is demonstrating outside the Uptown Theatre on Broadway where they Minutemen convention is being held. Now, as goofy and irrational as the Minutemen organization seems to be, I had not really believed that the KKK would be out there. I couldn't believe that it was coming to this. So, out of morbid curiosity we piled into the car, drove up to the Uptown Theatre, just as the "KKK" was taking off her costume and leaving.
ReplyDeleteThere was no KKK. As the young white female explained, there was no KKK. It was street theatre to make a point, according to the young, mostly white, mostly suburban college age participants. So it seems the news media and public were thinking that the KKK were marching into Westport, in a racially diverse urban neighborhood. Film at eleven.
In an attempt to make a statement against racism and demonstrate their opposition to the anti-immigrant Minutemen, a symbol of the most famous and feared symbol of hatred is displayed in an urban neighborhood in the name of "street-theatre". Except for one young woman who claimed that she was not white, the participants of this street theatre were all young white kids. My feeling is, how would they feel if they had been African-American and old enough to remember who the KKK really were, and had grown up in the south?
As someone who is most decidedly opposed to the Minutemen and everything that they stand for, I feel that the use of the KKK costume was irresponsible and ineffective. The message was lost.
When I attempted to engage them in converstation about my observations, one yelled at me "I'm not white, I grew up poor" She then screamed "F***-You!" and stomped off. Her friends then called me a "patriarch", refused to engage in a dialogue.
Great, film at eleven.
