John Gibson Celebrates Increase In ‘Anglo’ Birth Rate, Asks ‘Do You Still Think I’m A Racist?’


In May 2006, Fox News host John Gibson sparked controversy when he claimed on air that “twenty-five years and the majority of the population is Hispanic” because “Hispanics are having more kids than others” and “white people are having fewer.” Worried about the demographic shift in America, Gibson urged his audience to “do your duty. Make more babies.”

On his radio show yesterday, Gibson returned to the controversy, touting an Associated Press article about the “baby boomlet” in the U.S. in 2006 as vindication for his call that “the dominant, or largest, population sector, which is Caucasians” should “make more babies.” Declaring “I was right,” Gibson celebrated the increased birth rate of “non-Hispanic white women”:

“The nearly 4.3 million births in 2006 were mostly due to a bigger population, especially a growing number of Hispanics. That group accounted for nearly one-quarter of all U.S. births.” As you can tell, Hispanics are doing the hard work of child raising. “But non-Hispanic white women and other racial and ethnic groups were” also “having more babies, too.” A big round of applause for all of you out there having those babies.

Wonder if John would have had anything to say about that.

2. Yeah well, look what happened-- the Irish took over and Boston was destroyed.
Oh wait -- it WASN'T destroyed? :-)

I wonder if that line about the birth rate works when Gibson's looking for a date.

3. Three things:
1) The world does not need an increase in anyone's birthrate.

2) White Supremacy should be a capital offense.

3) Who the fuck cares what color people will be in future generations?! Why should that matter at all?

4. So when he told his audience to "do their duty and have more babies" he assumed Hispanics were not
watching also? How quaint.

5. He would probably be shocked to learn that Hispanics watch TV just like in a "regular" house
and that they can talk and laugh while doing so without anyone saying "Hey M-Fer, bring me another taco."

Those folks at Fox News discover something new every day.

6. That is medieval. However it is altogether keeping with our pre-1776 condition
If this trend continues, the whole world will be reduced to a pre-1776 condition, although with shiny new window dressing.

It will again be, to paraphrase the original Tom Paine, a world in which every corner, every person is under the thumb of tyranny.

America, Russia and China are all the same form of government, though our Rulers treat us more nicely until the last of us that remembers freedom grow old and die.

Canada is going under, and suffers from being next to the Empire, which surely will not tolerate a bastion of freedom right next door for long. Australia resists, but I fear it is temporary. Free Europe, and some Asian countries are all that's left of freedom's flickering flame.

Latin America is the wild card, as they are struggling to be free at the same time the Empire is struggling to keep them enslaved. Africa is going to be hardest hit but the upcoming resource scarcity, and can freedom flourish in such poverty?

If anyone thinks I am being racist, can freedom possibly survive here in the Amerikan Empire, so brutally damaged and it's populace so thoroughly clueless and disoriented? Not to mention soon to be so much more impoverished.

It's 1936 people, and the Bushies are on the march now as they were then. Maybe we can come out the other side and defeat the Global Bushies, as we did in WWII...but things are as dark now as they were then for freedom. All over the world, evil is enjoying an unprecedented winning streak, just like 1936.

I hope I am wrong, but the evidence mounts every day that I am not...
