Good call, Pete. Keep digging, there. By the way, Senator Stabenow asked my to convey her sincere thanks to you.

The old double-down denial.  Pete Hoekstra:  Better to insist you’re right than be elected. 

This is the same idiot who was live-Tweeting his whereabouts on a visit to Iraq, and only stopped once he got outside the Green Zone because his “Blackberry didn’t get reception.”  I’m sure the armed forces security team members appreciated that. 

Certainly, better for America.

I live and MI and can’t thank him enough. The backlash here is awesome!

We cleverly call him Pete on the Meat. hahahaha

 Pete should know by now negative campaigning only hurts those airing the ads. Can’t wait until Kathy beats him by a landslide.

I think most Americans do not realize how international Michigan is in the composition of its citizenry.

“Never mind my racist ad, I’m not racist because I say so and I will continue to run my racist ad.”

I don’t pretend to know who these Chinese people are.  I know they’re small, maybe one or two feet high.  I know they sound funny when they talk.  I know the womenfolk have sideways vaginas.  But underneath their scales, they’re just like you and me.

I’ve donated to the Stabenow campaign.   What a disgraceful ad.   

 I’m from Michigan, and I agree. Hoekstra is the same creep who used 9/11 as an opportunity to collect campaign funds. A donation to his campaign would supposedly eliminate further threats, somehow. I didn’t support him then, and I don’t support him now.

As for the ad, I haven’t seen it. But from what I have read, the only racist part was having the woman speak in broken English. There was no reason for that except to play on xenophobia. Not racist so much as xenophobia.

Racist, or xenophobic?
Both are bad, but there is a difference. 

Don’t you all know the DOUBLE-STANDARD rules?

It’s only Racist if it’s a Republican!

So what was so racist….?
The fact that Hoekstra used a Chinese actress to portray a Chinese woman….? The fact that she was on a bicycle or in a rice paddy…?  Is that some sort of untrue portrayal ?
If he made a commercial about Iowa and showed some white farmer on a tractor would that be racist too.
Oh incidentally. Her English was not broken.  A little thick on the accent maybe.

You lefties are in serious trouble next November if hurling out charges of racism every ten seconds is all you have.

Racist and proud of it?

Not all low IQ Conservatives/Tea Baggers/Republicans are racists but most racists are indeed low IQ Conservatives/Tea Baggers/Republicans

GOP: This guy is in your party.

We Ohioites love Michigonians. No thumbs down, please.

how about the fake Chinese-American accent?

How do you know it is fake….?
I know plenty of people who talk like that….?

How about the distillation of over 25 Asian
ethnic subgroups into rice paddies, a bicycle, straw hat, broken
English, and nondescript gong noises in the background? And somehow

this is recognizable, by a disturbingly large segment of the
American population as “China”? In addition, it is relying heavily on the the
stereotypes of how Asians are always smiling and pleasant, but really
sneaky, reminiscent of the Vietnam war era, and has inspired more references to “hot Asian women” than I care to read at this point?

Surely there is a better way to comment on government overspending?

LOL….I remember that. 

How about calling her a “yellow girl” ? Guffaw. 

Why we recommend you the man in military? The reason is simple: They are
not only dependable, but also romantic. They are brave and strong but also warm
in heart. Now it’s a new year, find your strong and warm
arms for a new beginning at —- uniformedkiss*c’o’m —-

It is an untrue portrayal: China doesn’t look like Vietnam, or in this case, Modesto. Chinese dress in modern clothes. It depicts a sort of composite Asian character that’s about as authentic as a P.F. Chang’s sundae. 

A modern Chinese farmer has a tractor, probably doesn’t speak English at all (nothing wrong with that, but it’s true), and doesn’t have a Vietnamese rice paddy. A modern Chinese farmer doesn’t prance around in saffron jammies left over from a Rambo movie, or wear an 19th century coolie hat. 

And the metropolitan Chinese banker buying up all those T-Bills speaks flawless English, probably with a British accent, and he or she might very well drive a Buick, which is the top selling car in China right now. And he’d be wearing a tailored suit. 

It’s racist because it’s racist. It’s like showing a black guy in overalls, shucking and jiving. It depicts a sort of Asian person that doesn’t exist, and probably never existed. If this is what you think China is like, and you have a genuine concern about our relationship with China, you might want to educate yourself on the reality. (And of course we all know Vincent Chin was Japanese, too.) 

The points Hoekstra claims the ad is making are all debatable points with some merit. But the ad doesn’t make that point. It’s a crappy ad on that basis. We aren’t talking about the points, so how can you say that ad is effective?

Who said she was a farmer….?
The ad made no reference to her station.
Get off it man.
Stop trying to defend someone else’s heritage as if you are the Keeper of all Things Racial.
It’s a TV commercial.
Relax.

How about I tear off your left arm off and just beat you with it for being a total idiot?  That way you you’ll have one less body part on you that might turn “liberal.” ;)   Now relax, I’m sure there’s a Klan meeting somewhere you can go get some group support and donuts.

Someone after my own heart….

Nah, as long as morons like you are the opposition….no problems at all….

Pull your head out of your nethers….you cant be this stupid, can you?

Update your health insurance first Nancy.

put some spread on your white breadness.
