It Would Have Sounded More Authentic in the Original German

Posted by: Emperor Misha I in Idiotarians, Journaljizzm, Politics

At a debate between George Allen and Jim Webb, Senate candidates for Virginia, a journaljizzmer named Peggy Fox broke into a hearty rendition of the “Horst Wessel Lied”. No, sorry, we made that up, but it was almost as bad.

For some reason, Ms Fox felt it important to ask Mr Allen the following question:

“It has been reported your grandfather Felix, whom you were given your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please tell us whether your forebears include Jews and, if so, at which point Jewish identity might have ended?”

The media are just making sure that candidates aren’t in violation of the Nuremberg Race Laws, we suppose, encouraged by their success in making the Democratic ballot of Connecticut “Judenrein”.

LC & IB Allahpundit notes that Mr Allen as well as the audience “responded appropriately”, the former with anger, the latter by booing loudly.

His Majesty, though certainly in agreement with the crowd’s reaction of dismay and disbelief, nevertheless, based on his national heritage and on historical precedent, has to disagree here.

The appropriate reaction would’ve been to strip Ms Fox naked, shave her head and paint swastikas on her buttocks.

But we’ll take what we can get.

Sire, might I propose one slight modification to your proposal.

The appropriate reaction would’ve been to strip Ms Fox naked, shave her head and paint swastikas on her buttocks.

I would propose, “painting” via a red-hot branding iron.

Unfrigginbelievable—*shaking head in disgust*

First, by the bye

Where does this women work ? Voelkischer Verlag Wilhelm Haerdel ? Verlag Stuermer ?

I hope she was fired and will never work in the media again.

Antisemitism on a broad scale is over in the West. She might work for an Iranian news agency though. She might have to learn Persian, but her attitude would be right on target. We should order a burkha for her.

Panzermann over and out !

Merciful Heavens! I certainly hope that stupid skank is fired and forbidden to ever work in any branch of the media again, even to scrub their toilets.

At least the candidate’s reaction [did not apologize for offending anyone with the notion of his possible Jewish identity] as well as that of the audience gives one reason to hope this country is salvageable.

That was pretty amazing. It sounded like she started to ask a stupid question, then caught herself sounding retarded, so she decided to go off on the Jewish tangent which was even worse thinking she was saving face. Our hero rebounded the question beautifully.

Freudian slip on her part, perhaps? Shade of latent racism, or do you think she meant to ask that question? Personally, it seemed like she started talking without her brain engaged, then tried to rescue herself, only to dig her own pr grave.

I wrote her, albeit in the King’s English:

Dear Ms. Fox,
Perhaps you should consider discontinuing your career as a news reporter in this, our religiously tolerant society, and relocate to a country in which questions such as the one you asked of Senator Allen will be greeted with cheers and accolade for their incisive and relevant content. I am thinking of Saudi Arabia, although come to think of it, you won’t have any “undercover Jews” to badger in that kingdom, since Jews aren’t allowed there. You may find yourself quite at home, however, among other purveyors of theories that espouse the “disproportionate” power and innate sneakiness of the Jew. Please start packing your bags; I will be glad to see you leave.

Very truly yours,

jewish roots are ‘baaaad” when you’re GOP, but Dems applaud their politicians who “find” semitic roots. Allbright, and didn’t Kerry make such a pronouncement?

you might try the station General Manager Darryll Green at dgreen@wusa9.com or the News Director Randal Stanley at rstanley@wusa9.com as well. Here is my calm query:

To: dgreen@wusa9.com

Cc: rstanley@wusa9.com

Subject: Peggy Fox

Mr. Green,
I was appalled by the conduct of your reporter Peggy Fox at the Allen/Webb debate. A video clip can be found here:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2006/09/18/VI2006091800669.html

I can not for the life of me imagine what inspired Ms. Fox’s question which I quote:

“It has been reported your grandfather Felix, whom you were given your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please tell us whether your forebears include Jews and, if so, at which point Jewish identity might have ended?”

I am not Jewish and reserve the term “anti-semite” to describe a person or their behavior in all but the the most obvious cases, but I cannot see any other motive for her question. It is interesting to note that Ms. Fox’s standards of “Jewishness” are more stringent than Hitler’s Nuremberg laws which required not one but two grandparents of Jewish ancestry to qualify officially as a Jew.

Imagine if Ms. Fox had asked a light-brown-skinned candidate whether he or she was mullato, quadroon, or octaroon. The pointlessness and offensiveness of the query would have been the same.

I am very interested in hearing from you if this person, Ms. Fox, is still employed by your otherwise non-anti-semitic news operation and if so, why? Do the questions of an anti-semite need to find air time on your channel? Is it your station’s policy to determine and report to its viewers whether or not any public figures have Jewish ancestors? What possible public service can this provide to anyone but bigots?

I hope you will provide me some answers with substance to what any person would agree to be some serious questions.

On the buttocks? Nay, sire, on the frigging forehead. Not that it would make very much difference, really. She has applied a white-hot brand of shame to her own forehead. To everyone outside her circle of journaljizzer friends, anyway.

I sure hope she interviews me someday, just so I can give her the WaPo salute. Looks exactly like the National Socialist salute, only you have to say “Fourth Estate!” or “Fifth Column!” in German, vice “Zieg heil!”

Female journalist…or, in this case, tits in a chair.

Not saying that you absolutely have to be stupid to be antisemitic, but it certainly helps. I AM glad to know that the Washington Post is “Judenfrei”, though. What a relief to know that my news from D.C. is entirely free of that pesky Jooish influence to muddy the waters of progressive news vending with nuan……, er, bias.

If she does happen to get fired because of this Freudian slip (unlikely!), she still has a job all lined up: a brood mare for the Nazi compounds in Idaho.

Don’t worry, I am sure they will issue her apology in 7 point courier font on page D 25, sandwiched between the personals and the underwear ads. It still counts, dammit! She said she’s sorry! What is your problem, anyway?!?

Fourth Estate!
Fifth Column!!
WaPo uber alles!!!

Dear Sirs

I refer to this debate

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2006/09/18/VI2006091800669.html

and wish to poilitely ask exactly what relevance, if any, a persons religion or past has to do with a debate regarding issues for public office.As an Australian, as a member of a free society, I am both shocked and repulsed by what has to be the most asinine, irrelevant and idiotic question in all of journalistic history.

I CAN say for a fact, that had that been anyone else than the gracious gentleman on the podium that day, the response to such a question would not have been anywhere NEAR as diplomatic or polite.

Believe me sirs, when I tell you that what I said on viewing this, was not fit for publication or polite company.

Sirs…is this the standard of your organisation? Do questions asked by your reporters often publically query the religious or racial ancestry of candidates???

“It has been reported your grandfather Felix, whom you were given your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please tell us whether your forebears include Jews and, if so, at which point Jewish identity might have ended?”

Will questions like this be asked at a Presidential debate??? Is this what the Post believes is newsworthy???

You should also be aware that this incident is not isolated to the US…this clip is now being viewed WORLDWIDE.Miss Fox’s crass and uinmitigated gall has now a much wider audience.And each time the question will be asked

“Who does she work for “and the answer will be “The Washington Post”

What the HELL does anyones ancestry have to do with anything.Were you or your staff aware of this….and if not, what steps will be taken to ensure that the debacle of this debate is not repeated? I am well aware that as I am not a citizen of the US my opinion may count for very little..but I sincerely ask that this particular person be brought to task for her reprehensible conduct, reminded forcefully of the standards of the Post, and required to publically explain her actions.

Peggy Fox’s conduct was inexcusable, and does nothing for the reputation or integrity of your organisation..in a time whebn the role of the media, its objectivity, its reliabilty, it’s very reason for being is called into doubt, episodes like this do nothing to aid the cause of what is now being branded the “:mainstream media”, and in many ways, her conduct has served to bring the Post into disrepute.

Other people may now hold this woman up as an example of the Washington Post’s journalism standard…is she an accurate example of the Post? That this is how newsopapers make their stories now? What’s next, sir…”are you now or have you ever been….?

What on earth was she thinking, if she was thinking anything at all????

I PROTEST AND DEPLORE HER CONDUCT and ask that she be held responsible for her actions, publically explain her actions, publically apologise for her unbelievable gall and lack of integrity, and be held accountable by management for her disgraceful behaviour.

Can I write…or what????:p

Comment by Light29ID

Don’t think their going to apologize, this from the W*USA website:

An unusual twist in the U.S. Senate campaign in Virginia. Republican Senator George Allen of is providing more details about his family’s history and religious heritage.

The Jewish newspaper, “The Daily Forward,” reported that Allen’s maternal grandfather was Jewish, and raised questions about whether Allen was hiding details about his background to avoid alienating voters in some parts of Virginia.

Our reporter Peggy Fox asked Allen about that report during a U.S. Senate candidates’ debate in Virginia Monday, and it prompted an angry response.

During the debate, Senator Allen did not directly answer the question about the religion of his grandfather, Felix Lumbroso. But late Tuesday, Allen issued a statement confirming his grandfather is Jewish.

In case you need to brush up on the Nuremberg Laws this from wikipedia and think that it can’t happen here, think again, but instead of Nazis it’ll be the Pedophilic Goat Fucking Ass Worshipers of Asswipe:

Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour
(September 15, 1935)

Entirely convinced that the purity of German blood is essential to the further existence of the German people, and inspired by the uncompromising determination to safeguard the future of the German nation, the Reichstag has unanimously resolved upon the following law, which is promulgated herewith:

Section 1
Marriages between Jews and citizens of German or kindred blood are forbidden. Marriages concluded in defiance of this law are void, even if, for the purpose of evading this law, they were concluded abroad.
Proceedings for annulment may be initiated only by the Public Prosecutor.

Section 2
The laws deprived Jews of German citizenship and forbade marriage or sexual relations between Jews and “citizens of German or cognate blood.” Supplementary decrees defined a Jew as a person with at least one Jewish grandparent and declared that Jews could not vote or hold public office

Section 3
Jews will not be permitted to employ female citizens of German or kindred blood as domestic workers under the age of 45.

Section 4
Jews are forbidden to display the Reich and national flag or the national colors.
On the other hand they are permitted to display the Jewish colors. The exercise of this right is protected by the State.
As J. Boas notes in “German-Jewish Internal Politics under Hitler” (see [1]), the “Jewish colors” refered to in this article were actually the Blue-and-White Zionist banner which is presently the national flag of Israel.

Section 5
A person who acts contrary to the prohibition of Section 1 will be punished with hard labour.
A person who acts contrary to the prohibition of Section 2 will be punished with imprisonment or with hard labour.
A person who acts contrary to the provisions of Sections 3 or 4 will be punished with imprisonment up to a year and with a fine, or with one of these penalties .

Section 6
The Reich Minister of the Interior in agreement with the Deputy Fuhrer and the Reich Minister of Justice will issue the legal and administrative regulations required for the enforcement and supplementing of this law.

Section 7
The law will become effective on the day after its promulgation; Section 3, however, not until January 1, 1936.

The Reich Citizenship Law
(September 15, 1935)

The Reich Citizenship Law stripped Jews of their German citizenship and introduced a new distinction between “Reich citizens ” and “nationals.” Certificates of Reich citizenship were in fact never introduced, and all Germans other than Jews were provisionally classed as Reich citizens until 1945.

Article 1
A subject of the State is a person who belongs to the protective union of the German Reich, and who therefore has particular obligations towards the Reich.
The status of subject is acquired in accordance with the provisions of the Reich and State Law of Citizenship.

Article 2
A citizen of the Reich is that subject only who is of German or kindred blood and who, through his conduct, shows that he is both desirous and fit to serve the German people and Reich faithfully.
The right to citizenship is acquired by the granting of Reich citizenship papers.
Only the citizen of the Reich enjoys full political rights in accordance with the provision of the laws.

Article 3
The Reich Minister of the Interior in conjunction with the Deputy of the Führer will issue the necessary legal and administrative decrees for carrying out and supplementing this law.

Dear Chris,

Thank you for writing regarding Peggy Fox’s question at the debate yesterday. The point of Peggy’s question was not the Senator’s religious heritage itself, but about a report in the Jewish newspaper “the Forward” that he may avoid discussing his background because it could cost him votes and political support in Virginia.

Peggy regrets she didn’t word the question more directly about the political issue which is relevant to the campaign.

I would encourage you to look at the story on wusa9.com for more on the whole issue, including the latest statement from Senator Allen.

Thanks again for writing. Your concerns will be shared with W*USA managers and reporters.

and here’s my response to the news director’s reply:

Randal,
I appreciate your prompt reply.

However, the offensiveness of Ms. Fox’s question cannot be shielded by the fact that someone else may have asked it first. I refer you again to the analogous situation of questioning a candidate’s racial purity. If some group or publication believed that a candidate would lose an election because he was not of sufficiently pure African-American blood, would your reporter ask the candidate to confirm the race of his grandparents? I think not.

I also note that your assumption that Virginians are, by nature, anti-semitic is both patently false and as a native Virginian, personally offensive.

The fact that one party or group believes that Virginians are anti-semites is the more newsworthy story than the manufactured “scandal” about a candidate not providing the press with his complete pedigree marking all Jews on that list with, perhaps, a yellow star of David.

While you freely accuse Virginians of anti-semitism, Channel 9 by supporting Ms. Fox’s outrageous behavior is the only party in this play that is demonstrably anti-semitic.

I believe you now owe me, Senator Allen, the Jewish people and the citizens of Virginia an apology for your sweeping and groundless calumnies.

Perhaps someday, someone will explain to the Loons of the Left and thier wonderful anti-Semitic allies that Judaism is a f**king RELIGION….NOT A RACE!

I’m a Catholic by religion…..my racial heritage is Caucasian-Korean.

What the flamin’ f**k does my ancestry have to do with anything? Or what does Sen Allen’s? This was a deliberate attempt to paint him as either a closet Jew….or an anti-Semitic Jew ashamed of his past. Either way, the reporter will be forgiven by the Loons. She was only asking a “legitimate” question you see. According to the MSM…anything goes if it hurts the GOP and Bush.

They make my ass tired.
