"Jihad in California"

From Steven Emerson (producer of Jihad in America):

For years, the Democratic Party, in California and across America, stood for justice and decency and fairness and equality and peace. For years, the Democratic Party embodied principles and beliefs that define America, and led our nation to a better, stronger, freer day. Thus, it is deeply troubling to find that the leader of the Democratic Party in California, Art Torres, has chosen to engage in the most vicious form of demagoguery in his recent appearance before the annual convention of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) held in Long Beach, California on December 20-21, 2003...

See the page for Torres' speech, as well as various quotes from members of MPAC. Torres' quotes aren't that horribly damning, but those from MPAC are.

You'll recall Art Torres' comments on Prop. 187:

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.

Now, the only problem is to get Democrats from other states to repudiate Torres. The problem after that is to make them look bad because they won't repudiate him. The problem after that is to get anyone in the media to pay any attention...
