California Insider reports that:
the Sacramento Bee leads with the story on Democrats rapping Arnold for having voted for Prop. 187 in 1994. That was the initiative that sought to end most public services to illlegal immigrants. Democratic Party Chairman Art Torres hit him on that, and for having former Gov. Pete Wilson as his campaign chairman. "There is a famous phrase in our community, and that is, 'Judge a person by the friends that he keeps,''' Torres said.
On a related subject, who are Art Torres' friends? This page has more information:
Art Torres, the Chairman of the California Democratic Party and the keynote speaker at the meeting, shouted to the audience "Power is not given to you. You have to take it...Remember 187 is the last gasp of White America in California!" [sound clip here] and "Que Viva La Causa!" (Long Live our Cause!) -- and then later exulted over how he could make such racist remarks with total impunity.
Let me know when the media looks into Torres' statements and associations.

Mr. Lonewacko, you mean you don't know when "our free press" will look into Art Torres' statements and associations? I'll give you an exact time and a cliche' on top of that: right when Antonio Villaraigosa's, Gil Cedillo's, John Vasconcellos' etc. statements and associations are seriously examined: when hell freezes over.
