Horrible tragedy. Interesting tidbit about Rita Cosby in the article.

This tragedy will bring Poland and Russia closer together.

Anyone who has ever heard of the Miracle at the Vistula understands what western Europe, indeed the world, owes Poland.

FACT: The United States has had no better ally than Poland.

General Thaddeus Kosciuszko 1746 - 1817 “Hero of America and Poland” does exemplify this.

I pray for the Polish people during this terrible time. I smell dishonesty already about the coverage of the plane crash that killed so many Polish leaders.

At this point I doubt it, hope I am terribly wrong.

Huh?

[cmj328]

The new administration is more pro-Russian than the fallen one.

[1rudeboy]

They saved Western civilization from the Moslems at the Battle of Vienna, 12 September 1683.

They are an amazing nation. As a people, I admire them very much. What spurred those horrible jokes about them? Anti-immigrant/anti-Catholic bigotry maybe?

[B-Chan]

You’ve got it.

I know a friend in this country and I have not spoken with her in a very long time. I wish her country well and the people there.

God bless the people of Poland. My thoughts and prayers are with you, friends.

I've been thinking we may be needing them again. God bless our brave Polish friends.

It is a horrible tragedy.

Its amazing how people are trying to blame the Poles themselves for having the "reputation" as having subhuman intelligence because of the Polish "jokes" that Hollywood and certain left-wing media has pushed over the years especially when Poland was starting to resist the Soviet Union which Hollywood has historic sympathies for.

Polish "jokes" originated from Nazi German propaganda that Poles have subhuman intelligence. Hitler felt the Poles had subhuman intelligence because they were Slavic and hated the Nazi Germans. Hitler then tried to implement this racist stereotype of Poles into reality by killing Poland's educated class first.

Ironically Hollywood introduced these racist Polish "jokes" into America because of Hollywood's hatred of Poland due to Hollywood's left-wing communist sympathies. Poland is a conservative, Catholic , anti-communist country that Hollywood loved to hate especially in the 1970's when they introduced anti-Polish propaganda in their movies and through late-night bigots on TV. Although this anti-Polish hatred still exists it has only declined from the mainstream because Polish Americans have protested this anti-Polish hatred.
