WASHINGTON (Dec. 1) -- When radio host Jerry Klein suggested that all Muslims in the United States should be identified with a crescent-shape tattoo or a distinctive arm band, the phone lines jammed instantly.
The first caller to the station in Washington said that Klein must be "off his rocker." The second congratulated him and added: "Not only do you tattoo them in the middle of their forehead but you ship them out of this country ... they are here to kill us."
Another said that tattoos, armbands and other identifying markers such as crescent marks on driver's licenses, passports and birth certificates did not go far enough. "What good is identifying them?" he asked. "You have to set up encampments like during World War Two with the Japanese and Germans."
At the end of the one-hour show, rich with arguments on why visual identification of "the threat in our midst" would alleviate the public's fears, Klein revealed that he had staged a hoax. It drew out reactions that are not uncommon in post-9/11 America.
"I can't believe any of you are sick enough to have agreed for one second with anything I said," he told his audience on the AM station 630 WMAL (http://www.wmal.com/), which covers Washington, Northern Virginia and Maryland

You made a lame comment you couldn't defend. Then you accused others of jumping on you for calling you on it. I say it again:
You aligned yourself with the radio host by suggesting "ignorant bigots" are a problem here for Muslims. I and others here didn't misconstrue you on this.
So name the incidents and problems they're experiencing.
Allow me express my feelings about yours and all the other cut-and-run-sleeper-troll-condescending-rude-obnoxious-do-nothing-but-yap-bigoted people on here's "deep disdain" (what-are you channeling freakin' Daschle here???):
Yeah, that's right. Go back and read it.
Merry Christmas to all of you malcontents.
I was kidding, Paige.
I have several much-loved relatives living in or near big cities, especially Chicago.
I can't believe Klein is stupid enough to have totally misread the sentiments that run deep within many Americans these days.
Or did he? If he was that stupid, why did he ask the question in the first place. He knew what he was doing and exactly what kind of response he would get.
This tells me that he either was intent upon insulting his listeners and wanted to make sure fewer people tuned in to his show in the future...
Or he said it was a hoax to cover his ass.
For a one-shot bomber strike jumping off from the Aleutian Islands, they don't need a beachhead.
They just need one agent with a truckload of fuel who can show up at some little-used road in Canada that the planes can land, refuel, and take off from
Some years ago there were people who discounted that the Russian Backfire bomber could not be used for attacks on the US because it didn't have enough round-trip range. I kept answering that they didn't need round-trip range. It wasn't like there was any likelyhood of them getting back out and doing another mission. All they needed to do was drop their nukes, fly to some deserted spot, eject, put on civilian clothes, and hang loose for a while to wait for developments
Famous quotes from Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto
"In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success.""You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass."
"I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." [upon learning of the success of the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor]
They learn that in weekend schools for the purpose of reading the Koran.
You'll never hear about it of course.
I laughed at their claim. It was as logical to imagine the Japanese landing in Washington DC.
To a degree you support my thoughts.
Vast numbers of Germans were held in camps by Germany itself. They usually ended up dead too!
Stay safe :)
Those pig poking sons of mUhammed have no earthly idea just how much I hate them. Until I hear just ONE bastard from CAiR disavow the terrorists, I will continue the hate.
They can Eat Pig Sh*t and DIE.

Where?
That's the whole trouble with this thread. It's drawing a lot of people who seem to have "issues." Putting words in my mouth is one tactic that seems unusually prevalent here. What is up with that??
Did I wander onto a CNN site? What's with all the hatred, anyway?
{{BIG SMOOCH}}} to you all!
Thanks. Btw, I'm a girl. Guess the 'reasoned' part threw you off ;)
Not all Jews are/were communists. But all Muslims are, well, Muslims.
Where I come from, only dimwits get called Skippy, but if it'll make you happy, I'll concede that you didn't explicitly call me a dimwit. I'll assume that your other jibes still stand.
What's with all the hatred, anyway?
Funny, I was thinking the same thing. I don't believe I've expressed any hatred of any kind toward you. What I did do was make the mistake of commenting (in what I believe was a quite rational matter) on your post, thereby inviting a big old pile of vituperation. Misplaced, imho.
Have a nice night :)
Lurker, you are so right. Not all Germans/ Japanese supported their government, but we took on their entire country to stop the few. And it had to be done.
"Not all Muslims are evil" is just SO beside the point.
"I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." [upon learning of the success FAILURE of the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor]
The Pearl Harbor raid was a failure, in the same sense the 9/11 attack was a failure.
The Japanese failed to get our carriers, thereby failing their major mission goal.
The møøselimbs did even worse. They failed in all three of their goals:
Take down our ecconomy (WTC)
Disable our millitary (Pentagon)
Decapitate our government (Flt93)
There are reports that there were hijackers on several more flights who didn't even get a chance to play. We out manuvered them when we grounded all flights.
Even where they did manage to draw blood it was far less than they planned. The WTC attack was supposed to kill 50,000, for example.
