In May 2006, Fox News host John Gibson sparked controversy when he claimed on air that “twenty-five years and the majority of the population is Hispanic” because “Hispanics are having more kids than others” and “white people are having fewer.” Worried about the demographic shift in America, Gibson urged his audience to “do your duty. Make more babies.”
On his radio show yesterday, Gibson returned to the controversy, touting an Associated Press article about the “baby boomlet” in the U.S. in 2006 as vindication for his call that “the dominant, or largest, population sector, which is Caucasians” should “make more babies.” Declaring “I was right,” Gibson celebrated the increased birth rate of “non-Hispanic white women”:
“The nearly 4.3 million births in 2006 were mostly due to a bigger population, especially a growing number of Hispanics. That group accounted for nearly one-quarter of all U.S. births.” As you can tell, Hispanics are doing the hard work of child raising. “But non-Hispanic white women and other racial and ethnic groups were” also “having more babies, too.” A big round of applause for all of you out there having those babies.
Claiming that “people were following my advice,” Gibson exclaimed that he was “not only right,” but “prescient” and that it was time for “a John Gibson victory lap.” Listen to it:
Gibson also complained about his critics who called him a “racist” for his May 2006 comments. “I was simply saying look what happened in Europe,” said Gibson. Immigrants “having kids like crazy” meant “England wasn’t looking so British anymore” because “Anglos” and “selfish white people weren’t going through the hard work of having babies.”
Demonstrating a lack of self-awareness, Gibson closed the segment by asking his “drooling left wing” critics if they “still think I’m a racist.”
Transcript:
GIBSON: It is John Gibson, I’m gonna go get’ em. Now, this half hour we’re going to deal with an issue that got me in trouble, but as you all know, I enjoy skating on thin ice. It’s what I do for a living. And so I’m going to reprise this dark moment in Gibson’s past because it came up in the news today and it appears I was right. And that people, not only was I right, but that people were following my advice. My advice was that demographic studies showed that the United States birthrate is lagging among the dominant, or largest, population sector, which is Caucasians. Hispanics are having a lot of babies, African-Americans were having a fair number of babies, but whites in America were just barely keeping above the replenishment level of the population. And I was trying to warn people that this phenomena had gone on in Europe, where the native population, the Anglos, if you will to use the phrase from Southern California, were just not having kids. And the immigrants, often labor immigrants from Muslim lands, were having kids like crazy. And all of a sudden, you know, England wasn’t looking so British anymore. And Germany wasn’t looking so German anymore. And Russia was having a real problem because, to put it bluntly, selfish white people weren’t going through the hard work of having babies. And so I, in a tongue in cheek way, you know, did this thing on “My Word” at the end of the TV show about make more babies, and it concluded this way:
TV CLIP: 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.”
GIBSON: Ok, that set off a storm of protest that continues unto this day.
ANNOUNCER: Gibson is a racist.
GIBSON: I regularly get called out by Media Matters for America, the Huffington Post, some of those lefties. I don’t know if the Daily Kos has done it lately, regularly called out. And of course that slobbering twit, who just barely gets out of the bathtub enough in time to go to his show, who calls me a racist.
CLIP OF KEITH OLBERMANN: Ok, so if there were any doubts, John Gibson: racist.
GIBSON: And, all of which, was a whole quote cropping exercise to make me sound like a racist, when I was simply saying look what happened in Europe, we don’t want that to happen here. Now, in other words, get busy. You know, a little peanut butter smear on the leather seats of the BMW is not such a bad thing. Go ahead and have kids. So anyway, today, it turns out the AP medical writer Mike Stobbe — I hold his report in my hand, let me prove it to you — says I was right. In fact, he said “Gibson was right.”
ANNOUNCER: Oh yeah, Gibson was right. Oh yeah. Again. Can you feel that, buddy? huh? huh? huh?
GIBSON: Huh? “Bucking the trend in many other wealthy industrialized nations,” by which he means Europe, Mike Stobbe writes, “the United States seems to be experiencing a baby boom,” in that we are “reporting the largest number of children born in 45 years.” That is a John Gibson victory lap.
ANNOUNCER: Start your engines. The John Gibson victory lap.
GIBSON: “The nearly 4.3 million births in 2006,” and — by the way — My Word was May 2006, so I was not only right, I was prescient, I was right on time.
ANGRY RICH: You’re like an aphrodisiac, John.
FEMALE COMMENTATOR: Ooh la la.
GIBSON: I wouldn’t say that.
ANGRY RICH: Spanish fly, that’s what you are, buddy.
GIBSON: Angry Rich, that would be going a little too far.
ANGRY RICH: They got busy.
GIBSON: Well, I encourage that.
FEMALE COMMENTATOR: What you doing?
GIBSON: Procreation, not recreation
FEMALE COMMENTATOR: Hey shorty.
GIBSON: You got that stuff for a reason, put it to good use. “The nearly 4.3 million births in 2006 were mostly due to a bigger population, especially a growing number of Hispanics. That group accounted for nearly one-quarter of all U.S. births.” As you can tell, Hispanics are doing the hard work of child raising. “But non-Hispanic white women and other racial and ethnic groups were” also “having more babies, too.” A big round of applause for all of you out there having those babies.
ANNOUNCER: (Applause) Thank you.
GIBSON: Now, having been proved right, I am curious if the drooling left wing reactionaries still think I’m a racist, and if they care to apologize. Are you still troubled by the fact that I said Hispanics are doing a good job of having babies and the Anglos seem to have been falling behind. I would actually, they weren’t falling behind, right at that moment they were getting busy. Are you still troubled by all of that or are you willing to reconsider the issue in the cool light of dawn while there aren’t certain provocateurs hanging around, flinging names around as they do when they read from the prompter directly from Media Matters.Triple eight seven eight eight nine nine one zero. Do you still think I’m a racist. Would you care to apologize. Apologies will be accepted graciously.

Yes. You are.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:04 pmYou said it bobcat. John, you are a flaming rascist.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:04 pmGibson, you can spin, wash, change clothes, get a new haircut, get a brain transplant and you will always still be nothing more than a shallow-minded, racist a$$hole.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:07 pmHow else do you explain his proud call for white people to have more babies in order to out-do Hispanic groups?
Who cares if the recent numbers show that white people’s birth rate increased? A point does not a trend make. Gibson’s calling out an entire group to out-procreate another based SOLELY ON RACE is the point, here.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:07 pmThis fool look’s like beck, is he beck’s daddy.?…..I need a break…Blessings
January 17th, 2008 at 1:08 pmscary!
January 17th, 2008 at 1:08 pmthe pathetic sob looks like a televangilist.
Hmmm…let’s see. More white babies is better than more Hispanic babies? Sounds racist to me.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:08 pmYes, John, I’m still drooling, and you’re still a racist.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:09 pmRacist?
Hmmmmm….
100% right. You, John Gibson, are a complete racist d!ckhead.
Let me wipe my mouth….
January 17th, 2008 at 1:09 pmGibson’s calling out an entire group to out-procreate another based SOLELY ON RACE is the point, here.
Comment by bobcat_grad — January 17, 2008 @ 1:07 pm
At the risk of being the first person to make the obvious Nazi connection here, didn’t Hitler urge procreation to increase the numbers of his “master race”? How is this different?
January 17th, 2008 at 1:10 pmI’ll just have a good laugh if many of the babies come out ‘kinda non white’ :-)
January 17th, 2008 at 1:10 pmEurope, where the native population, the Anglos, if you will to use the phrase from Southern California, were just not having kids. And the immigrants, often labor immigrants from Muslim lands, were having kids like crazy. And all of a sudden, you know, England wasn’t looking so British anymore. And Germany wasn’t looking so German anymore. And Russia was having a real problem because, to put it bluntly, selfish white people weren’t going through the hard work of having babies.

Just because Gibson is concerned that the master race won’t dominate the USA forever doesn’t mean he’s a racist.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:11 pmIf only being a racist was your worst problem you bloviating gasbag.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:11 pmthis is faux nuz…..what did you expect…..it’s the racism channel
January 17th, 2008 at 1:15 pmClaiming that “people were following my advice,†Gibson exclaimed that he was “not only right,†but “prescient†and that it was time for “a John Gibson victory lap.â€
————————————————
Wow — I had NO idea that all those white couples who have had babies recently were procreating as a direct result of John Gibson’s plea! Perhaps Gibson will have a few of these couples on his show sometime. I can just imagine the interviews now — “well, we really weren’t sure about whether or not we wanted children, but we recognized our duty when you mentioned it, John!” or “as soon as you described the dire need to have white babies, I threw my diaphragm in the trash!” or “we were proud to do our bit to keep our race from being taken over — I wish more white couples would appreciate this threat and have more children!”
January 17th, 2008 at 1:17 pmHey now, he’s not a racist. He is clearly a xenophobic egomaniac!
January 17th, 2008 at 1:19 pmRacist? Sure. But how about flaming idiot, too?
January 17th, 2008 at 1:21 pmwhen I was simply saying look what happened in Europe
What happened in Europe, allegedly?
the native population, the Anglos, if you will to use the phrase from Southern California, were just not having kids. And the immigrants, often labor immigrants from Muslim lands, were having kids like crazy.
Why?
selfish white people weren’t going through the hard work of having babies.
The result?
England wasn’t looking so British anymore. And Germany wasn’t looking so German anymore.
And:
we don’t want that to happen here
FoKKKs News, anyone?
January 17th, 2008 at 1:22 pmSomeone outta tell this ignoramus that his ancestors were quite dark just like everyone else’s on the planet! Considering we all ultimately came from Africa!
January 17th, 2008 at 1:23 pmGibson closed the segment by asking his “drooling left wing†critics if they “still think I’m a racist.â€
still KNOW you are, gibby…
also from that story:
“Experts believe there is a mix of reasons: a decline in contraceptive use, a drop in access to abortion, poor education and poverty.”
yay! more poorly educated poor unwanted children!
those are the ones easily brainwashed… the better to fight those wars…
January 17th, 2008 at 1:24 pm…
Is he going to claim a victory for the “War on non-Caucasian impregnation”?
January 17th, 2008 at 1:24 pmI’m a latino immigrant. Hearing John Gibson speaking tells me that white people should be scared, they should be very scared. They know that the wrongs will be righted once our children come of age within the next generation. We will have rightful influence on the government, the courts, the jobs, the radio waves, and on foreign policy. John Gibson and White Co. can tell their children they’ll be working min. wage for us at some point.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:25 pmSpeaking of an idiot named John posing as a journalist at a discredited network, check out this shameful email from John King of CNN to Glenn Greenwald:
http://www.salon.com/ opinion/ greenwald/ 2008/ 01/ 16/ king/
King works overtime to embarrass himself with a childish, ranting, content-free attack on Greenwald.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:28 pmThis is where I think the abortion issue comes into play. Just sayin’.

“Apologies will be accepted graciously.” - ain’t gonna happen (for any number of reasons).
January 17th, 2008 at 1:44 pmIt’s painfully obvious that starting approximately 60 years ago in this country there was an incredible increase in the birth rate of white jackasses, as evidenced by the existence of Gibson, Rush, Hannity, O’Reilly, Savage, and others. That has not been good for this country.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:45 pm“I can’t wait till your prediction becomes reality”

January 17th, 2008 at 1:47 pmGibson: “England wasn’t looking so British anymore…” It really hasn’t been “British” since about 410 A.D. when the Roman occupation ended. It was subsequently turned into “England” by foreign immigrants and invaders: Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Vikings, Normon French, etc.

I was excited to vote in 2006. A democratic takeover of congress gave me hope that a relief package (or as the bigots call it, amnesty) would be approved for the new immigrants to America. Yet no package has been approved, roundups continue, and we’re without our documents and without justice. If your party was on our side, we wouldn’t be seeing more families hurt, notably latino children. Those on our side, are our fellow latinos.
January 17th, 2008 at 1:53 pmGibson: “England wasn’t looking so British anymore…â€
And America is not looking so American anymore and it has NOTHING to do with any group of people except the neocons who are gutting our Constitution to replace it with their own version of “benign” dictatorship, i.e. unitary executive, using whatever means they can, including flaming a race or ethnic conflict.

no one in America is more on your side than the democrats…..we all have to be patient….that’s what we are doing too.
January 17th, 2008 at 2:07 pmVerbalkint-great link, thanks. It seems to me that many of these political reporters act more like groupies when they get a chance to interview one of their idols. No chance of any of these idiots asking tough questions or being fair OR balanced. They all get gah-gah eyed when interviewing these politicians and we end up with the political equivilent of a TMZ fluff piece. Voting season is the time for these political journalist hacks to get their mugs in the limelight and they care very little for the rare position that they are in to ask substantial questions and present us with a clearer picture of what exactly these politicians stand for and believe in. Just more reporting on the personal minutia of the candidates and powderpuff commentary. Kinda like a political “American Idol” competition.

I didn’t realize you had such a huge teen following.
January 17th, 2008 at 2:22 pmWoo hoo! Birth rates are up! Too bad all their future jobs are already being sent overseas…or soon will be…
January 17th, 2008 at 2:24 pmfaux nuz website……..we’s white.com
January 17th, 2008 at 2:27 pmSpeaking of making babies, there was a time when my wife and I regretted not having any children. not any more. not since about 7 years ago. not with the direction this country is going in. not when a program like fox news is able to prosper and when disgusting sacks of sh!t such as Gibson are able to spew racist garbage to a national audience that barely blinks an eye. i am now confident we made the right choice. we can rest easy knowing we didn’t bring any children into this fu(ked-up country that’s drifting steadily towards nationalism or perhaps something even more heinous. It’s difficult to be optimistic about the future when SOBs like this are more than just a curiosity in the eyes of millions of Americans.
Bastards!

We don’t need you on our side, our numbers are growing and can take care of itself. Watch out, your attitude isn’t winning you any points with the future majority.

Ah — I assumed that John Gibson’s remarks were so over the top that even the trolls here couldn’t defend them. I was proved wrong when you showed up.
In case you missed the obvious, John Gibson wasn’t merely congratulating people for having babies. He was congratulating WHITE people for upping their birth rate in order to combat the birth rate of Hispanics — since his greatest fear is reducing the white majority in this country.
And yes — this is racism. Would you care to explain why it is not?
January 17th, 2008 at 3:11 pmOh Roger - now you’ve gotten missmolly all feisty! That’s not easy to do!
January 17th, 2008 at 3:19 pmLast year…his issue was….War on Christmas…this year it is ….war on Anglo birth rate..
Wow..
January 17th, 2008 at 3:20 pmmissmolly, roger has selective perception.
January 17th, 2008 at 3:20 pmThis outright racist and xenophobe needs to lose his job. If Imus can lose his job over less words, so should this sorry excuse for a human being.
January 17th, 2008 at 3:20 pmGibson’s original rant was in May of 2006. And the increase he is touting was for 2006, right? So he is taking credit for white people “getting busy” as a result of his rant, right? So, if they got busy right after his rant, the babies would have been born in 2007, right? Did I miss something?
January 17th, 2008 at 3:59 pmHe still got a purty mouth…plan to meet him in the Times Square mens room at 5pm.
January 17th, 2008 at 4:16 pmit may have been pointed out, but do the math…
gibby made his plea in may 06… any births that could be attributed to that, would have been at least 9 months later, in 07, unless premature…
January 17th, 2008 at 5:06 pm…
OK, for a start, “England” and “Britain” are two different things. And how dare he point to the increasing cultural and ethnic diversity in my country - which I at least delight in and am proud of the tolerance we have - as a sign of degeneracy?
Who IS this person? In the U.K., the only people that talk like this are members of the BNP, otherwise known as the lunatic neo-Nazi fringe. Are you telling me that someone who is voicing borderline-eugenicist views is actually a mainstream media host?
This doesn’t happen where I come from, with our “labour immigrants from Muslim countries” and our swarming hordes of black and brown babies. But then, maybe this wanker can come over to British England and put white women back in the houses and on their backs where they belong, right?
Twat.

Eh — it’s been one of those days. LOL
January 17th, 2008 at 5:37 pmCan I get to be the one to tell him that a lot of those white women are giving birth to black babies, & to brown babies, and some Oriental babies (miscengenation being what it is, in this country, doncha know)? So, John can go back to worrying about the predominance of the white male. He’ll be able to expound on the “slippery slope” that legalizing interracial marriages started - one thing leads to another…….
January 17th, 2008 at 5:50 pmIf the white race is as stupid as John Gibson….God help us!!!!
January 17th, 2008 at 6:40 pmWell, the hispanic credo in Mexico is to take over the U.S. through non-force…by sheer numbers of immigrants. Apparently they are succeeding. As for being racist…I’m so tired of all this “politically correct” nonsense. People should be able to speak their mind. There are many who agree with this man, and many who don’t. Tolerance is needed here, not anger. To each his own opinion, I say.
January 17th, 2008 at 7:27 pmThe comment from the hispanic immigrant who states that hispanics will have their revenge on white people, and that white people will be working for them at minimum wage after the next generation, just proves the point. The violent and disrespectful hispanic gangs in this country are a case in point for not wanting a proliferation or majority of this kind of people. Poor hispanic families having more babies to populate the streets with more undereducated gang members is not what this country needs.
I do disagree that the world needs to be more populated, but if it’s only white people who are practicing birth control and population control, then it’s no use; everyone has to be on the same page for population control to work. With the resources on this planet being limited, it’s a good idea to control the population; however so many people are ignorant of this or just don’t care.
I’m glad John Gibson spoke his mind!
By the way, I think fox news is awful, and a toxic influence on our society….but we need freedom of speech!
I’m all for civil behavior and civil discussion, but I must admit that when I see this guy I just want to sucker punch him - a haymaker right to the face. He’s just such an a-hole.
January 17th, 2008 at 7:35 pmJohn Gibson Celebrates Increase In ‘Anglo’ Birth Rate, Asks ‘Do You Still Think I’m A Racist?’
Uhm… Yes?
January 17th, 2008 at 8:58 pmBy the way, after speaking to my friend in England the other day, he voiced the opinion that he’s very upset about the mass immigration to England since it became a member of the EEC. It seems that once a member of the EEC, anyone within that organization can go to work and live in any of the countries without much trouble. People are flocking to England for employment. So, there is discontent in England too on the immigration issue and how it’s changing that country. Not everyone is embracing the “cultural and ethnic diversity” that is growing there.

The Treaty of Schengen (”open borders”) affects everybody. It increases understanding between the diverse populations of Europe and a greater unity. Is a good thing, because allows a greater liberty and better opportunities for everybody.
But perhaps your friend is upset because now aren’t only the affluent British (speaking here of strongness of currency) the ones who can travel all around Europe, acting like snobs.
But if you want a racist view that you can comprehend, I could say that a lot people in Spain is tired of the british retirees who crowd the Coasts all the year, act like snobs, and don’t speak a word of Spanish, or the idiot teenagers (and not teenagers) who buy a low cost fly the fridays to Spain only to drink like mads, act like barbarian pigs, pee and vomit at our streets, and fly back to England to act as snobs, being “culturally superior to the inferior peoples of the continent”. For a reference of the last behavior, just seek for the last football game Glasgow Rangers - Barcelona. 6200 tickets were sold to Glasgow Rangers fans, but 15000 traveled to Barcelona to party at the streets, drinking, peeing, puking and breaking bottles and brawling at downtown Barcelona. A great demonstration of the superior culture of Imperial Britain.

But, of course, Americans view British (Scottish in this case) as ultra polite people who speak funny and are great poodles, and part of the “superior race”.

Just how many children has Gibson fathered?
I pity the kids if he has any.
January 18th, 2008 at 7:40 amI never thought much about Gibson before. However, I sure think he is a racist now.
January 18th, 2008 at 11:30 amI am a”progresive” or a “liberal” or a “lefty” I live in southern california.
If you go to wal-mart, or to the visiting room of a federal prison (as I do) you will see living evidence of the impressive reproductive energy of the Hispanic segment of the population. If you listen to them speak, you wil be amazed at the “ain’t got none”, “I seen”, etc. Because many of them are victims of class war in Mexico and are uneducated, and or illiterate in one or both languages.
You can not have a huge influx of one race/culture into a nation without the flavor of the host culture changing.
To say “I would like my culture to retain it’s euro-centric roots and traditions, and linguistic heritage.” is NOT RACIST. To say the immigrants are genetically inferior IS RACIST.
To say America has enough wealth to accommodate an endless tide of economic refugees (that’s what they are) is to be willfully ignorant of the terrible economic disparities and class war here in our country that we middle class Americans face.
January 18th, 2008 at 12:45 pmMany of the reader comments above show the mindless “PC” mentality that hobbles the progressive movement in it’s attempt to reach greater numbers of Americans. Call me a racist - I dont’ care.
