Tom Hanks - “Back in World War II,” he told Brinkley, “we viewed the Japanese as ‘yellow, slant-eyed dogs’ that believed in different gods. They were out to kill us because our way of living was different. We, in turn, wanted to annihilate them because they were different. Does that sound familiar, by any chance, to what’s going on today?” In a separate interview, Hanks referred to the war in the Pacific as one of “racism and terror.” (more…)

To complete his brief biography, Jonathan Krohn was born in Georgia and still lives there with his parents. Father Doug is a computer engineer while his mother Marla is a school teacher. He gets most of his news from republican talk show hosts and thus has no idea about what normal things people go through.
Jonathan Krohn has absolutely zero life experience to actually understand what he’s talking about. but the republican base will eat this up. are there no adults who can garner such press, aside from Sarah Palin? / sarah palin is a joke btw.
“Jonathan Krohn: I got into politics when I was eight years old. Six years now. And I got involved because I started listening to talk radio. It goes back to one event. The Democrats filibustered something in the Senate when I was eight years old. I don’t remember what it was on and I didn’t honestly care when I was eight years old. I cared about the history and the Senate rules,” “I listened to Bill Bennett and tons of other republican talk show hosts who talked about that and other policies and started branching out and caring about other issues in regards to politics. Bill Bennett really became an idol for me. I listened to him every morning from 6 to 9 for, oh, years. And I started learning more and started to be able to think on my own, understanding politics on my own. I started to be able to use my mind to engage in political conversations under the conservative banner.”
the crazy ones start out early , don’t they? (more…)

The Hypocritical Idiots Speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
CPAC Speakers Bash Obama’s Use Of A Teleprompter — While Standing In Front Of A Teleprompter.
Picking up Sarah Palin’s lead, this morning’s speakers at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) repeatedly made fun of President Obama and his use of teleprompters. Many conservatives apparently haven’t gotten tired of this well-worn, hollow joke, with conference attendees laughing and applauding each time.

should we even be surprised at foxnews? given the fact that they cater to a racist audience?
The Fox Nation linked to an article reporting on how
“Republican lawmakers in Congress are sponsoring a bill that seeks to abolish birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrant parents” using the headline, “GOP Targets ‘Anchor Babies.’” Several media outlets have identified the term “anchor babies” as, in the words of the Rocky Mountain News, “derogatory, even racist, because it implies that Hispanics are having children as a way to stay in the U.S.”
Several media outlets have identified term as “derogatory,” “pejorative”
Rocky Mountain News: Term “considered by many to be derogatory, even racist.” An August 2006 Rocky Mountain News article reported of children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants: “Opponents of illegal immigration call them ‘anchor babies’ - a term considered by many to be derogatory, even racist, because it implies that Hispanics are having children as a way to stay in the U.S.”
San Diego Union-Tribune, Reno Gazette-Journal: Term is “pejorative.” An April 2006 San Diego Union-Tribune article stated that an anti-immigration activist “dismissed teens marching in Los Angeles as ‘probably part of the anchor baby-boom of the late 1980s and 1990s,’ using a pejorative term for the U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants.” Likewise, an October 2008 Reno Gazette-Journal article reported that “[s]ome opponents of illegal immigration call such children ‘anchor babies,’ a pejorative term that implies the child will serve as an ‘anchor’ for his or her illegal immigrant parents, preventing the parents’ deportations and acting as a pathway to citizenship for the whole family.”

Republicans disappointed the airline flight 253 didn’t blow up.
Dick Cheney harshly criticized Obama’s “low key response“ from : thinkprogress.org
Dick Cheney - “As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of 9/11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.”

Radio host Mike Gallagher: “There should be a separate line to scrutinize anybody with the name Abdul or Ahmed or Mohammed.” (Note: Those are some of the most common names in the world.)
Rep. Peter King (R-NY): “100 percent of the Islamic terrorists are Muslim, and that is our main enemy today. So why we should not be profiling people because of their religion?”
Terrorism pundit Steven Emerson: “Remember, there have been so many complaints about quote, profiling, by the quote, Islamic civil rights groups, that they stopped basically profiling. And that basically led to not putting this guy onto the terrorist watch list.“ see link
