A.G. Shurtleff Says Group's Director Subjected Him To Racist Comment
(KCPW News) Utah Minuteman Project Director Alex Segura is defending himself after Attorney General Mark Shurtleff says Segura directed a "racist" comment at him. Shurtleff refused an invitation to speak at today's "Wake Up America" rally in downtown Salt Lake City. Segura responded via e-mail calling Shurtleff - quote - "La Raza in your black heart" and "not an American." Segura bristles when it's suggested those comments might be racist, because he is of Latino descent.Segura says his problems with Attorney General Shurtleff are a matter of policy rather than ideology, because he feels that the Attorney General is soft on illegal immigration.
Shurtleff says he is unable to attend today's rally because he's testifying in front of the Utah Supreme Court at the same time.

The Attorney General did attend the illegal immigration rally by those who were rallying today. He's a nice, intelligent man.

You seen to have first hand knowledge of the idea of La Raza first and always. Unfortunately not a lot of Americans are educated to that idea. So it seems to me you are in a unique position to put the Attorney General on the defensive by posing the hard questions to him about where his loyalties lie. About whose flag would he march under when the shooting starts. Richard
