It’s very hard to turn down an invitation to La Calle Doce in Oak Cliff, but, alas, a movie screening will have me otherwise occupied at 1 p.m. Anyway, here’s what will go down: Carlos Quintanilla has decided to join the list of Hispanic activists calling for the head of CNN’s Lou Dobbs, whose “angry, irresponsible language … is fueling violence against our
community and promotes the discrimination seen recently in Farmers
Branch,” says Quintanilla in the press release announcing today’s event.
Calling for CNN to dump Dobbs is a trend sweeping the nation, and the afternoon’s Accion America-sponsored event (which promises appearances by “allies and leaders of Dallas’ Latino Community,” not to mention T-shirts) will formally announce the launching of BastaDobbs.com. (Which happened a month ago, but still.) Maybe I can get Feldman to go. Note to self: See if she’ll bring back a filete a la parrilla.
