Cafferty did not insult the Chinese people. he was answering a specific question about the Chinese Communist regime.
WOLF BLITZER: One of the arguments that some of the pro-China elements is making, Jack, is that this is a very different China today than existed 10 years ago, certainly 20 or 30 years ago. This communist regime(Emphasis mine) today is almost like a capitalist regime. They're a huge economic superpower and that we have a lot at stake in maintaining this economic relationship with China.
JACK CAFFERTY: Well, I don't know if China is any different, but our relationship with China is certainly different. We're in hawk to the Chinese up to our eyeballs because of the war in Iraq, for one thing. They're holding hundreds of billions of dollars worth of our paper. We also are running hundred of billions of dollars worth of trade deficits with them, as we continue to import their junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food and export, you know, jobs to places where you can pay workers a dollar a month to turn out the stuff that we're buying from Wal-Mart. So I think our relationship with China has certainly changed. I think they're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years. Is clear he is talking about the government and not the people. Let me show you how this quote appeared in Chinese news papers.
"I think they're(Chinese people) basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years."
Notice how they added the Chinese people part. They did not mention that they added it. They printed as if he had actually said this. (cont)

I believe that's "hock."
I didn’t write. thats what was quoted. Didn’t want to change the originally posted quote.
Oh, I know it’s not your mistake.
I’m just saying.
right. I know my grammer and spelling are horrible. However you think CNN would do a little better :)
Based on what?
yea I thought about that just as I hit the post button :)
We should ban Chinese goods from our country and stop doing business with people who hve nuclear warheads aimed at our country.
Hearing him pontificate on the "rust belt" and "economic hardship" makes me want to hurl.
There is no better argument that ANYONE can succeed in the Country that he regularly trashes.
Can anyone give me Jack Cafferty’s credentials as a foreign affairs expert? Or any kind of expert? He has been quite visible on TV lately with his opinions and analyses, but exactly what expertise does he bring to the topics he covers?
Thank you for this thread.
This is typical commies’ trick to flame nationalism and disliking for American imperialist.
