See, Spencer, a longtime Mexican-basher and hawker of the wacky reconquista conspiracy theory, has openly associated with white supremacists according to both the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. And by his own admission, he's had dealings in the past with Minuteman American Defense director Shawna Forde.

Forde is alleged to have participated in a murderous 2009 home-invasion robbery in Arivaca, Arizona that claimed the lives of nine-year old Brisenia Flores and her father Raul. About two weeks after the killings, she showed up at the home of Spencer, who allowed her to use her laptop in his family room.

“Something strange happened toward the end of the Joshua Tree tour,” Bono said in an interview collected in the oral history “U2 by U2,” released in 2006. “We had campaigned for Martin Luther King Day in Tempe, Arizona, where the tour opened back in April. There was a governor there called Mecham who was holding out against it, and we had got involved in local politics there and took a stand. We went back to Tempe at the end of the tour, in December, to play the Sun Devil Stadium.

“I was getting death threats throughout the tour. . . . This character was a racist offended by our work, he thought we were messing in other people’s business and taking sides with the Black man. One night the FBI said: ‘Look, it’s quite serious. He says he has a ticket. He said he’s armed.’… So we played the show, the FBI were around, everyone was a little unnerved. You just didn’t know, could he be in the building?”

see email reports to Dept. of Justice. RAIA also has posed as a donor to try to lure Guzman to meetings.

"Some guy on a motorcycle that kept lingering around my house. He's rev his motorcycle loud and annoyed all the neighbors... I was able to safely follow him into the next neighborhood and his address is XXXXXXXXXX,I looked at the county's website and noticed that the owner of that house is the same guy who wrote me that email below inviting me to meet him as some distant place, also is the same guy who posted this info about me in his website. I am being stalked by this man."

April 19. 2009 Photo Tax Collector Shot

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0111/47277.html

As the laborers fled, the protesters tried to take pictures of their faces. "This is our country!" shouted a Minuteman. "We are under invasion."

Salvador Reza, 54, a project coordinator for the center, called 911, and several minutes later the police arrived and defused the confrontation. "It was starting to become dangerous," he says. "They wanted to create violence and then blame it on the laborers."

"Arizona police allege Shawna Forde was the ringleader. Forde was the executive director of Minuteman American Defense and a spokeswoman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, often touted as a "mainstream" voice opposing immigration."

“Did Wilcox the county supervisor deserve to get shot in the ass?

Yes…. I did not enjoy the image of her in a hospital bed--but I could not help but take some satisfaction from it. It was her own arrogance that put her there, and what happened to her should serve as a lesson to her and everyone else.”

Isabel Garcia, a Tucson, Ariz., attorney whose work on behalf of immigrants has earned her international acclaim, has received a death threat from an individual claiming to offer a half million dollars to anyone who might assassinate her.

They were certainly bolder than normal, I thought, even in the presence of the cops. It was obvious from jump that they desperately wanted to scrap. And from fisticuffs, it wouldn't be much of a leap to see one or more of them pulling the guns on their hips and shedding blood. The community should be wary of this occurring in the future. Very wary.

The last time a threat led to prosecution in Arizona was in 2003, when 64-year-old prison inmate Robert Stewart offered another inmate $100,000 in a secret cache of machine guns to kill U.S. District Judge Roslyn Silver.

Silver had sentenced Stewart to five years on weapons charges. In a recorded conversation, Stewart, who was tied to militia groups, requested that the judge's head be cut off and hung from a pole in hopes that it would spark more killings of federal agents and judges nationwide and lead to an uprising by anti-government groups.

"I put them up next to the dump, the dog pound, the waste-disposal plant," Arpaio once saidof his tactics, which have also included chain gangs (for men and women), public parades in pink underwear (for men only), and massive illegal-immigration sweeps. Arpaio's tactics haveearned him the nickname "Hitler" among Tent City inmates, according to The New Yorker. "
