If he makes any pandering reference to Mexamericans, the left-agitprop major media will take it as a fresh chance bring up his polygamist grandfather from the old country, and the bitchier segments of the right [sort of like the "alternative right" except w/ actual numbers] will start jeering about amnesty -> Davos -> Pinch Sulzberger's girlfriend, etc. Although it's a loss for voters as well as the republic generally, more politically astute for him to give non-answers and treat the issue as non-existent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-14054082651631832392012-07-03T00:31:43.368-07:002012-07-03T00:31:43.368-07:00https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4731665960...https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=473166596029678&set=a.166962229983451.39817.162770253735982&type=1&theater<br /><br />rotfl<br /><br />ebert follows my adviceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-4544029520506561122012-07-02T19:03:50.851-07:002012-07-02T19:03:50.851-07:00"I am [at] least reassured to learn that he&#..."I am [at] least reassured to learn that he's trying to say the same thing in all languages."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-42377074027334268052012-07-02T18:06:48.078-07:002012-07-02T18:06:48.078-07:00Nick:

It would seem that the reason for the Spanish edition is to help non-natives keep up with local news and events. Yet when I viewed the Spanish editions of the Miami Herald [<a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/" rel="nofollow">English</a>, <a href="http://www.elnuevoherald.com/" rel="nofollow">Spanish</a>] and Arizona Republic [<a href="http://www.azcentral.com/" rel="nofollow">English</a>, <a href="http://www.lavozarizona.com/" rel="nofollow">Spanish</a>], it appears they are completely different in language and content.<br /><br />Why is this so? I think if more people knew about this, they'd really frown on this practice because it seems to me that it will lead to a distinct community within our midst that doesn't care about our culture, nor we theirs.Beecher Asburynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-26715091830811888772012-07-02T08:22:48.665-07:002012-07-02T08:22:48.665-07:00There is a difference between high priced hispanic...There is a difference between high priced hispanic ad consultants and having a competent translation done in your ads. It can't be that hard for him to get a native speaker to help him translate and rephrase his ads, and not doing so looks pretty dumb to me. <br /><br />The line about things you can't say becoming thngs you can't think is very true. Even if you can privately think about them, any attempt to think clearly about them leaves you without a vocabulary and without the insights you get by having multiple people think things through. <br /><br />Noam Chomsky made a nice point about this in a talk I saw awhile back, pointing out that the reason those political talking head shows can't explore any ideas in depth is that there isn't enough time to say anything not right in the middle of the mainstream. Imagine trying to explain hbd in that format--you'll still be trying to explain the difference between a distribution and an individual from that distaribution, or between means and outliers, or race as an extended partly-inbred family, when the show is over and the audience is convinced you wear a swastika on your arm and goose-step in your spare time.NOTAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-73112429140586277062012-07-02T08:04:21.885-07:002012-07-02T08:04:21.885-07:00Translating from Spanish to English is quite possi...Translating from Spanish to English is quite possibly the easiest translation job on the planet. The idiomatic gap between the two languages is quite small. Don't trust anyone who tells you that Spanish/English translation needs expert, nuanced knowledge. Just look at that example: "Los cosas estan bien?" In English, "Things are good?" Or, "Are things okay?" Translating from English to German or French is a thousand times more difficult.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-90015385224481089872012-07-02T07:25:42.729-07:002012-07-02T07:25:42.729-07:00If Romney had nuts he would tailor Spanish-languag...If Romney had nuts he would tailor Spanish-language ads to the fears of the Hispanic community, implying Obama/Holder are soft on black urban crime: the beer summit, "if I had a son," the Black Panthers etc.<br /><br />Obama 2012: 4 more years of flash mobs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-13742830488621198252012-07-02T07:01:09.601-07:002012-07-02T07:01:09.601-07:00Doesn't the Mormon Church spend quite a bit on...Doesn't the Mormon Church spend quite a bit on proselyting the Western Hemisphere south of the Rio Grande?

Non-Hispanics DO NOT LIKE seeing American presidential candidates pandering in an alien language. They want the pandering in English, the language of America.<br /><br />The reason is simple - if you're pandering in an alien language, you're pandering to aliens, ergo you come across as an unpatriotic alien-lover. So why vote for you?<br /><br />Obama needs a reasonable Hispanic turn-out, but not at the price of alienating black men from bothering to turn out and vote (black women will vote, regardless). Romney cannot win among Hispanics, and any attempt to do so would lower his crucial white vote; the best he can do is lower the Hispanic turnout by effectively ignoring them, which seems to be his strategy.Simon in Londonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-87898794872484559182012-07-01T21:00:03.215-07:002012-07-01T21:00:03.215-07:00"What goes unsaid eventually goes unthought.&..."What goes unsaid eventually goes unthought."<br />Well said, and apparently unthought until now.
