An old tool back in the news
Pete Hoekstra, an old Republican tool from Michigan who has occasionally appeared in this blog, is big news today for his Super Bowl ad. In trying to drum up fear of his opponent, it invokes the Yellow Peril with an Asian American actress speaking in stilted, jeering English, while on a bicycle riding out of the rice paddies.
It didn’t air here in Pasadena and I would assume most of the country did not see it. Until now. It’s a bit beyond words.
Hoekstra will never win re-election unless everyone in his district is a ragingly paranoid crazy person.
From this blog, a couple years ago when he was a Congressman, along with birther/Cult of EMP Crazy chieftain Trent Franks from Arizona, and was presented the Team B report. The Team B report, on shariah law subverting and impurifying the precious bodily fluids of our great country, was compiled by Islam-o-phobes Frank Gaffney and retired general Jerry Boykin.
Coincidentally, Boykin figured here a week or so ago for his selection as someone to host a prayer breakfast at West Point.
Hoekstra was chosen to receive the Team B report in Congress precisely because he is a well-known bigot. Although its authors wouldn’t put it quite that way.
They knew that because way back in 2006 Hoekstra was trying to convince everyone Muslim terrorists were everywhere in America.
And DD blog covered it briefly, here, along with a map of our allegedly Muslim-terror infested country.
I captured a picture of Hoekstra’s terror map back then and relabeled it “Al-Qaeda-Land.”
And here it is. Enjoy.
Pete Hoekstra’s Michigan ad during the Super Bowl is commensurate with his well-established record of being horrible.
Once Hoekstra was also in the news recommending we bomb those we thought had launched cyberattacks.
