John Gibson is a Racist Sack of Crap and Other Fine Stories

I don't toss around the R-word much, but this really got to me. I didn't even really know who John Gibson was until I read about this. Here's a video of his segment, which I originally found at Media Matters. His thesis? You need to do your duty and make more babies, because over half of all children under 5 are minorities, and white people just aren't producing as fast as other ethnic groups.

Update: Stephen Colbert weighs in with some hard-hitting commentary below.

There are several big assumptions he's making here (and he puts the 'ass' in assumptions):

1. He's assuming that his viewers are white. A piece of advice for next time, John. Before you begin a segment like this, preface it with something along these lines: "I've got something important to tell all of the white people here, so I'm going to have to ask all the brown people to leave the room for five minutes. Just head out to the kitchen and make yourself a beef chimichanga or some monkey brains or whatever it is that you people eat."
2. He's assuming that all of his white viewers are only having sex with other white people. In fairness, however, he may have intended this to be the first of a two-part series, with part two being, "Okay, now that you're getting your eugenic groove on, let's talk about the purity of the white race, and how you can help by being more selective about who you bump uglies with."
3. He's assuming that white people are ready to have babies, but either forgot to breed or were really just waiting for a good reason.
4. A "comfortable" life involves a BMW with leather seats?!?
5. Finally, he seems to be assuming that the advice given to his generation that the population was growing too quickly is invalid because the percentage of white people is dropping.

Any way you slice it, John Gibson is a waste of skin with a freaky haircut. Seriously. I mean, was he going for that "Bram Stoker's Dracula" look, or what?
