School Board Candidate-"I want to get rid of these third world people."
School Board Candidate Under Fire Over 'Immigrant' Letter

POSTED: 11:30 am EDT June 15, 2006
UPDATED: 12:33 pm EDT June 15, 2006

An Osceola County School Board candidate is under fire Thursday after writing a letter to a newspaper blasting illegal immigrants, saying "I want to get rid of these third world people."

Eduardo Montalvo, 46, is running for the school board seat in District 1 -- an area heavily populated by Hispanics.

The Venezuelan-born candidate wrote that illegal immigrants "constitute an attack force from the third world against America," according to the report.

Montalvo's letter to the Four Corners Reporter newspaper also said, "I want to get rid of these third world people..."

The letter has angered several in the community.

6. Because LOTS of Americans feel the same way.
Pretending he's out on a limb by himself is a recipe for nothing more than MORE people who think this way.

He's NOT by himself - though his idiocy in advocating against himself (in some sense) might be a unique thing... lol

Heads outta the sands people - millions upon millions of Americans feel this way. It needs to be recognized and addressed.

2. Only SEVERAL???
I'm surprised there isn't a crowd outside his office with torches and pitchforks right now.

What a total hypocrite. I wonder if his own family bears close scrutiny.

7. Someone should introduce him to JC Watts....
... whom you may remember from such Congressional terms as "If I say whatever whitey wants me to say, whitey will LOVE me", and "Hey! I sucked whitey's dick! Why won't he love me?"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

11. And who can forget this Watts from Reagan years:
We have every kind of mix you can have. I have a black,
I have a woman, two Jews and a cripple."

-James Watt, September 21, 1983

13. No shit.....
"The letter has angered several in the community."

Intolerant bigots who are themselves immigrants need not apply.
