The Crystal City, TX camp held many Americans of German ancestry or naturalized American citizens.
I'm an American.
My parents were American.
My grandparents were American.
I am a descendant of an American president.
Just FYI.
Hi Allegra,
My first response to this "radio hoax" was that it was just another way to inflame islamic radicals & give them the cover they need to go about their terroristic plans. Once anyone that might report any suspicious behaviour they see is labeled a "bigot" - it will have a deterrent effect on future whistleblowing. The last thing Americans want is to be labeled as a bigot!
Since you are right in the middle of the action - I'd be interested in hearing your opinion of what should be done - both in Iraq and over here in America. I believe we started out on the right track and after Abu Graib, we got strangled by political correctness. I'd love to hear your take on things.
Thanks,

It needed to be exposed.
Allegra, you're the one who suggested "ignorant bigots" are a problem. I asked you to provide any instances of Muslims experiencing significant problems as a result of muslim bigotry in America.
Ie, you seem to believe this radio host was unearthing some legitimate problem, as opposed to shilling for the left.
As for "panties", look down. Yours may be wet.
good job Lurker
Years after World War II German submariners told stories about sitting in NY harbor and listening to WABC radio.
As a side note: When I lived on the Upper East Side years ago the spanish super of the building and I found a trunk stuffed with Nazi crap in the basement -- uniforms, knives, books, newspapers, even a cereal box with Hitler on it. We dragged the thing around to a couple of the auction houses and were practically thrown out of them. He finally sold it for several thousand dollars and used the money to pay for an air conditioning and refrig course.
And Medina (probably more than Riyahd).
Klein is WMAL's hoax on its audience. He's their token liberal and I can't believe those people were stupid enough to listen to him. He's a total jerk.
I think they felt they had a lot to prove which is why their fanacitism.
I know I wouldn't have wanted to fight them.
Pussyfooting around with some low level jihadis in Iraq isn't going to solve the problem. The source of the poison is in Saudi Arabia. Specifically it's in Riyadh and Mecca.
Uh, not to put too fine an edge on it, but Saudi Arabia is an ally of the U.S.
How wonderfully warm-hearted and politically freakin correct this radio host is.
He is happy to "prove" that there is bigotry, which plays into the current trend to criminalize all feeling towards the people who fully support the violent overthrow of the democratic system in the USA.
You need to read Michelle Malkin's book, "IN DEFENSE OF INTERNMENT"

She lays it on the line with many facts of dozens of subversive groups operating in the U.S.
In fact, what many dont realize is that the fences around the camps were there to keep people out, not people in.
BTW, the Japanese built several gigantic submarines that could launch bombers carrying nuclear warheads.
They really didn't need to secure a beachhead in the US.
Descendants of both Q-Celtic and P-Celtic language speakers are the largest ethnicity in the US. Germans and German-like peoples are probably second but that depends on how you count the English.
Oh yes there was. #7 is correct.
Many US Citizens of German ancestry or Legal Resident Aliens were in fact interned for 'the duration'. Not as many as with the Japanese, but camps there were.
[The 'hosts' analogy to Nazism is wrong.
Jews weren't hijacking Zeppelins and crashing them into German office buildings.
One more small point. 'islamic' isn't a race.]
Exactly. Klein's analogy is way off base. Instead of conducting a cheap trick on his audience and then accusing them of being "racist" when they respond, perhaps Klein could come up with intelligent ideas and reasoned discourse on the problem. But perhaps considering the obvious fact that Klein is probably just a ratings whore, that is asking too much.
