John Gibson of FOX News, one of the “War on Christmas” knights, had one of the most disturbing bits I have watched in a long time. Media Matters has the video and transcript of Gibson’s The Big Story calling on white people to “make more babies” to outpace the Hispanic birthing rate. As a Hispanic citizen of this country, I take offense to this:
JOHN GIBSON: Now, it’s time for “My Word.” Do your duty. Make more babies. That’s a lesson drawn out of two interesting stories over the last couple of days.
First, a story yesterday that half of the kids in this country under five years old are minorities. By far, the greatest number are Hispanic. You know what that means? Twenty-five years and the majority of the population is Hispanic. Why is that? Well, Hispanics are having more kids than others. Notably, the ones Hispanics call “gabachos” — white people — are having fewer.
Now, in this country, European ancestry people, white people, are having kids at the rate that does sustain the population. It grows a bit. That compares to Europe where the birth rate is in the negative zone. They are not having enough babies to sustain their population. Consequently, they are inviting in more and more immigrants every year to take care of things and those immigrants are having way more babies than the native population, hence Eurabia.
Why aren’t they having babies? Because babies get in the way of a prosperous and comfortable modern life. Peanut butter fingerprints on the leather seats in the BMW. The Euros are particular — in particular can’t be bothered with kids. Underscore that second point.
A second story, today, reports that [Russian President] Vladimir Putin is so concerned about the declining and imploding population of Russia, he is paying couples to have babies. Imagine, procreating for cash in Mother Russia. Putin has taken this step because at the rate things are going, Russia will lose close to 45 million in population in the next 45 years. Russia will be two thirds of today’s population.
This is not a good trend for Russia and it won’t be here either if that should happen. To put it bluntly, we need more babies. Forget about that zero population growth stuff that my poor generation was misled on. Why is this important? Because civilizations need population to survive. So far, we are doing our part here in America but Hispanics can’t carry the whole load. The rest of you, get busy. Make babies, or put another way — a slogan for our times: “procreation not recreation.” That’s “My Word.” (emphasis from Media Matters)
Gibson’s call to white genitals speaks volumes about how he thinks, and perhaps even what FOX believes to be its audience. I don’t even know where to begin but I will try anyhow.
It seems to me that this is nothing more than a xenophobic/bigoted-based call to white nationalism and defense of the white majority of the U.S. in the face of a brown horde (Illegal immigrants and Hispanic-American reproduction rates - yes, they are not synonymous). Through the use of innuendo and alarmist rhetoric, Gibson is calling on whites to produce more babies to counter the growing Hispanic population. For you see, America is a nation of mixed races and cultures led by the white majority. As Gibson notes, the rapid pace at which Hispanics are having children will challenge that majority, and we certainly cannot have of that.
To support his thesis, Gibson invokes the immigrant card and points to Europe, or “Eurabia,” and says, “You see? We’re next.” Hispamerica, here we come!
In fact, Gibson appears to be trying to create a clash of cultures to further energize whites to hop between the sheets and defend their Aryan white nation. You know, “do [their] duty.” To create this clash, Gibson is insinuating that all Hispanics call white people “gabachos,” a pejorative term along the lines of the more infamous “gringos.” I’m sure there are some that do, much in the same way there are still some white people that use the N-word, etc., but to generalize in such a way is journalistically dishonest and misleading, however, advances an anti-Hispanic/Latino agenda. Imagine if a black television personality said, “Notably, the ones whites call ‘niggers’ — black people — are having fewer.” People would demand his/her resignation.
Moving forward, Gibson seems to have a mistaken view of what a “comfortable modern life” actually is. Leather seats in a BMW? That’s just “comfortable”? People who drive BMWs are more than just “comfortable” financially. (New BMWs range from $31,000 to $117,000. Perhaps this is how we get tax policy along the lines of the Bush tax cuts.) Furthermore, he is essentially arguing that white people are largely living “comfortable modern [lives],” which are reasons why they are not having children, but Hispanics are having all they want children because they are not burdened by these. Essentially, Hispanics do not live comfortable modern lives. Instead of the leather upholstry in the BMW, it is the cloth-covered Aerostars.
In the end, Gibson tries to make it sound like he’s on Hispanics’ side after bashing us as a threat to white American dominance of this country. The insertion of Russia’s population issues appears to be cover for his real message of maintaining the white majority in America. By doing so, he is trying to confuse his viewers that this is about survival of all Americans, but in reality, it is a call to save BMW-driving white America from the Aerostar Hispanics that would unseat them from their throne of dominance.

From the May 12 edition of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:
OLBERMANN: That's ahead, but first it's time for Countdown's latest list of nominees for "Worst Person in the World." The bronze to John Gibson of Fox News Channel. He's now encouraged his viewers to quote, "Do your duty. Make more babies" because Hispanics are quote, "having more kids than others. You know what that means, 25 years and the majority of the population is Hispanic," unquote. John would have placed higher, but it's become obvious he no longer hears what he's saying, and besides which, the average age of his viewers is about 70, so this is only hypothetical eugenics.
John Gibson
If it wasn't clear before, it's clear now: John Gibson is a racist asshole. Media Matters reports that on the May 11 broadcast of his program, the Fox News commentator implored the white people of America to "make more babies". (Click the link and read the whole thing, you won't believe it.) The reason for Gibson's racist diatribe was a recent Census Bureau report that nearly half the children under five in the United States are minorities. Said Gibson:
By far, the greatest number are Hispanic. You know what that means? Twenty-five years and the majority of the population is Hispanic. Why is that? Well, Hispanics are having more kids than others. Notably, the ones Hispanics call "gabachos" -- white people -- are having fewer.
Now, in this country, European ancestry people, white people, are having kids at the rate that does sustain the population. It grows a bit.
To a racist asshole like Gibson, this can mean only one thing:
To put it bluntly, we need more babies. Forget about that zero population growth stuff that my poor generation was misled on. Why is this important? Because civilizations need population to survive.
Since he admits that the reason for his rant is the fact that minorities will make up a majority of the population in 25 years, I think it's safe to assume that he's not talking about them when he says "we need more babies." And to underscore the point, he includes a bizarre tangent where he refers to Europe as "Eurabia" -- a word he doesn't explain, but which appears to be a racist play on "Europe" and "Arabia".
One wonders how long it will be until conservatives start referring to the United States as "Amerexico." Oh, wait. They already are.
