In a column today criticizing President Obama’s bow before the Japanese Emperor, Wesley Pruden, the editor emeritus of The Washington Times, claims that President Obama “seems never to have studied much American history” because he apparently doesn’t know that “the essence of America is that all men stand equal and are entitled to look even a king, maybe particularly a king, straight in the eye.” Pruden then claims this lack of understanding of America’s “essence” is “no fault of the president” because Obama’s father was Kenyan and his mother was “attracted to men of the Third World”:
But Mr. Obama, unlike his predecessors, likely knows no better, and many of those around him, true children of the grungy ’60s, are contemptuous of custom. Cutting America down to size is what attracts them to “hope” for “change.” It’s no fault of the president that he has no natural instinct or blood impulse for what the America of “the 57 states” is about. He was sired by a Kenyan father, born to a mother attracted to men of the Third World and reared by grandparents in Hawaii, a paradise far from the American mainstream.
Pruden has a history of writing racially-charged items. In 2005, he wrote a column criticizing the Senate for passing a resolution that apologized for never enacting an anti-lynching law. As Media Matters noted at the time, Pruden had previously made numerous “sympathetic statements about the Confederacy” and employed “a neo-Confederate activist in the Times newsroom.”
Oh, freakin’ SPARE ME from this racist drivel!!!!!!
November 17th, 2009 at 10:46 amdespicable
November 17th, 2009 at 10:48 amWow. Just wow. This one has to rank right up there as the most inane piece of nonsense spouted this year.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:49 amHey, if we liposuctioned his face, I could heat my home for the winter.
The eyes alone have gallons of oil and waste reserves…
November 17th, 2009 at 10:49 amI hope his kidneys fail.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:50 amMr. Pruden’s quite the ugly and deluded liar there, no?
And I’ll bet he’s a member of that Korean Jesus Cult that runs his paper, too.

November 17th, 2009 at 10:51 amThat’s a joke.
Just another version of the “he’s not a real American” crap from some people.
What a transparently inane and racist statement.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:51 amJust when you think the GOP couldn’t sink ANY lower……
November 17th, 2009 at 10:54 amGeez, another pasty fat white guy with race issues.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:54 amSpare me.
SOYLENT FUEL IS PEOPLE.
It’s time we went “green” on our own bodies.
Seriously, I don’t know why we can’t suck the fat out of bloated people and burn the gelatinous goo as fuel.
In fact, McDonalds should fund the research into the procedure, since their food is often to blame for poor health and obesity.
If successful, we help save the lives of the morbidly obese while spawning a “green energy revolution” right here within out own big, dumb, fat borders.
Win-win???
November 17th, 2009 at 10:54 amThe Washington Times is owned by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, of Unification Church (i.e., cult) fame (or infamy).
This fishwrap isn’t even useful for wrapping fish, and Pruden is just a two-bit racist hack, and Confederate sympathasizer.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:55 amIf this racist fu(ker insulted my mother like that, I’d clock his fat ass.

November 17th, 2009 at 10:56 am“the 57 states”
Flunked Math. Flunked History. Flunked Civics.
A Conservative ‘Expert’.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:57 amBoy, he goes for the trifecta of ignorant, lying, fat old white men, eh?
Insinuating the President’s Mother was ‘attracted to 3rd world men’ is not only racist, it’s sexist, as well.
The ‘57 State’ bullshit again. Of course, no one ever admits that, including territories, we do have that many.
And now Hawaii isn’t ‘mainstream’ enough to be President, but frikk’n Alaska IS? Wow!
Newspapers may be dying, but I hope they outlast this POS.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:57 amI thought they were tea bags…
Nah, teabags on the eyelids actually reduce the Gin Blossom effect (caffeine tightens the dermis).
Methinks he swallowed his “teabags”.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:58 amLast night on MSNBC, either KO or RM showed pictures of Nixon and Eisenhower bowing to Hirohito and DeGaulle. The fact that the convenient, selective memories of these white wing a$$holes continues to be foisted upon us really pisses me off.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:58 amPruden is just another aging fat white guy with size issues.
That’s what this whole repiggie white guy thing is all about in the matter of Obama being president.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:01 amOMG — living in this country and paying attention to the current political climate has increased my tolerance for BS, but this batch just exceeded my threshold.
It’s hard to know where to start, since I’m somewhat slackjawed. But let’s start with Keith Olbermann pointing out that Richard Nixon has also bowed to a Japanese emperor — in fact, he bowed to Emperor Hirohito, who bombed us in WWII. Is Wesley Pruden going to blame that on genetics and parentage?
And does Wesley Pruden know that this “paradise far from the American mainstream” is actually part of the United States, and was so when Barack Obama was growing up there?
What an idiot.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:01 amIs Sun Myung Moon a white guy now?
November 17th, 2009 at 11:02 amThis is beyond the pale. Wesley, meet Keith Bardwell; Keith, meet Wesley Pruden.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:03 amHe cant help it, he is a typical repug wingnut. They are racists who dont care about America or the people who live here. I would gaurantee these pieces of sht would celebrate if something were to happen to our president.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:04 amExit, it was Olbermann, and here it is: Republican President Nixon bowing to Emperor Hirohito, who ordered the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:05 amSomeone’s been eating all the ho-ho’s.
Someone wants Palin to be president, because her mother “did” it with a white guy.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:06 amWhy is it always an aging white guy that makes statements like this?
November 17th, 2009 at 11:06 amSo basically, what this racist is saying (and let there be no doubt, he is a racist!) is that this uppity negro can’t learn because of the blood he inherited.
Well how very bigoted of you, ya muckin’ foron!
I am by nature a peaceful person, but there is something inside of me that just boils over racists and their prejudice.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:07 amSo I second what RUCerious said. I’d love to knock Pruden the fck out!!!
I know quite a number of repiggie white guys whose wives and girlfriends and daughters voted for Obama.
I think that these guys collectively have this horror of their white women having anything to do with a black man, including voting for one.
It has caused these guys so much anxiety and stress.
It’s really amazing to see.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:08 amBigotry, it’s all about the white meat. When will these lousy race haters die? Lets not even mention his slam about women.. this guy is a real gem.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:08 amRe: the bowing issue: IOKIYAR
And as far as the vitriol spewing forth from the sewer mouth of Wesley Pruden, c’mon people, from the mouth the heart speaks…what a wasted life Pruden has lived–one lived unprudently…he doesn’t look like a happy person…
November 17th, 2009 at 11:09 amBoth Nixon and Eisenhower would be cast out of the modern GOP. Well, Eisenhower definitely. Nixon was enough of a warmonger and homophobe to fit in.
As for Pruden…
“Take up the White Man’s burden–
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard”
I guess the Moonie neo-Confederate jackass believes President Obama needs some “civilizing”.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:09 amLib@30, Because they are afraid of the ‘Scary’ Black Man. The fact Obama won, still has them reeling. Hence the ‘Tea-Baggers’, ‘Birthers’ and ‘Tenthers’. Oh sure, they CLAIM they hate because he is a ‘Socialist, Marxist, Racist AND a Commie.’ But they don’t hate because he’s BLACK! Jeez. These people couldn’t be anymore transparent.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:10 amAccording to wingnuts, neither President was a “true conservative”. Therefore, they are both irrelevant.
It must be so easy to be a wingnut. Forgive my faulty memory, but didn’t a TPer compare the wingnut debate rules to Calvinball recently? Particularly relevant are rules 1.2 and 1.3:
November 17th, 2009 at 11:10 am
I saw on a cable news show that 100 militia groups have been created since Obama took office. Is it because hes a dem. No, its because he is black. If anything should happen to president Obama then racists like pruden,beck,savage,limpo should be arrested as accomplices.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:11 amApparently, Pruden and his racist ilk at the Wash. Times forgot who won that war back in 1865.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:12 amHint: It wasn’t your side, Pruden.
I just sent this letter off to Mr. Pruden c/o the Washington Times:
I nearly threw up when I read that vile stew of racist and sexist GARBAGE from you. That despicable column was wrong and disgusting and disturbing on so many levels.
Shame on you; that drivel just cloaks the same stupid old crappy racist, sexist and birther clichés in more erudite language, peppered liberally with psychobabble. It reminded me of those earnest “scientists” from the early 1900s who “proved” that blacks were inferior and women were “hysterical” and unsuited to any sort of learning…
In other and far more concise terms, Wesley: you are a racist moron. And you’re FAT, too. Why aren’t you more jolly, eh?
November 17th, 2009 at 11:12 amI’m still re-reading Al Franken’s book, Lies (and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them), and just yesterday I read this little ditty about good ol’ Wesley Pruden:
I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree (The entire excerpt is worth reading to see what Pruden’s ulterior motives was at the Moonie Times).
November 17th, 2009 at 11:16 amFollowing Prudens twisted reasoning Sarah Palins children has less of this so called “natural instinct or blood impulse for what America is all about” than average Americans because their father is part Eskimo their mother attracted to Eskimo men, and they were raised in Alaska far from the American mainstream
November 17th, 2009 at 11:16 amSAY WHAT???
Was that remark meant to degrade this woman?
I think we all know the answer and I hope the President doesn’t publicly respond . .
Some people say Rahm and his brothers are pretty good when responding to ignorant remarks about a person’s mother . .

November 17th, 2009 at 11:17 amI think we’re learning that there are an infinite number of ways to say “OMG there’s a black guy in the White House!”
November 17th, 2009 at 11:17 amI am a white guy with a business and several pieces of property, and I know several white repiggies who just can’t understand why I’m not a repiggie, and they can’t get their heads around my voting for Obama.
There are so many white guys whose total identity is wrapped up in what other more dominant white guys think of them.
They are afraid to displease their “betters” within the white male ranks, virtually all of whom are repiggies.
One of my white male neighbors put his house on the market last year after the election because I voted for Obama and displayed an Obama/Biden sign in my yard.

November 17th, 2009 at 11:21 amThat have to be a first or maybe they know theres no defending a Coward like this.
To add on, her children has less of Pruden’s “blood impulse” because their daddy was associated with a group interested in breaking away from the U.S.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:23 amhis mother was “attracted to men of the Third World”
toldja so!
finally, one of ‘em came out with it…
oh, and was it “natural instinct or blood impulse” that prompted dubya to improperly give merkel a back rub, or chew and talk at the same time, or any and all the other bushisms…?
sickening…
November 17th, 2009 at 11:26 amevangenital@46, Are you serious about your neighbor putting his house on the market because of your sign?
November 17th, 2009 at 11:27 amTell me hes not a racists. Well anyway you should be happy, with that piece of sht out of your neighborhood your property value could only go up.

November 17th, 2009 at 11:28 am52, the guy finally got an offer on his house, far below what he was asking.
I’m glad he is gone.
We didn’t get along too well.
By the way, his daughter and his son both told me that they both voted for Obama.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:32 amI saw on a cable news show that 100 militia groups have been created since Obama took office. Is it because hes a dem. No, its because he is black.
I am sure that some racists have joined because of that but a very similar thing happened when President Clinton was in office.

Dave N et al, this is slightly OT, but Hirohito didn’t explicitly order the Pearl Harbor attack. The overall protocol of the Japanese system was that the Emperor was, to a great extent, passive. The prime minister and other officials would gather at the Imperial Palace in an audience with the Emperor and discuss plans and policy and the Emperor would remain silent. Only in cases where he disagreed would he convey that, usually after the audience, through an assistant.
Typically, if the Emperor did agree with a course of action or plan, he would not speak at all, nor would he pass any after-the-fact message. It was left to the government and state ministers to assume that he agreed, or had no strong disagreement. In the case of the Pearl Harbor attack plan, he did not speak.

Kind of like being the wisest weasel.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:54 amThere seems to be an endless stream of bigots. Let’s see how long it takes the MSM to condemn Pruden.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:55 amI thought them immigrants, by having experience in both systems, had a greater appreciation of America ?
But let’s apply this great logic: German Americans don’t appreciate America as much as their folks were from overseas and fought against the USA. Japanese American ancestry folks don’t appreciate America as much as they were at war with the USA. Irish Americans don’t appreciate America as much as their folks were just running away from famine (and to this day they still drink green beer)…………..
November 17th, 2009 at 11:56 amthe essence of America is that all men stand equal and are entitled to look even a king, maybe particularly a king, straight in the eye.”
And hold his hand like a prom date.
Riight.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:56 amIt’s good to know Wes Pruden doesn’t believe that we should ever observe custom and protocol. Guess we can all just go back to being our ordinary rude selves. I wonder how he greets his Lord and Savior, the Reverend Moon?
Pruden does seem to have a race problem and it is thoroughly entangled with sex and ethnicity; not much of a surprise there, but again, I wonder how he deals with the fact that his Lord and Savior isn’t a US Southern WASP.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:57 amMore bowing, and less bullying… Works for me and most of the rest of the people in the world… Doesn’t work for birthers/deathers/teabaggers/tenthers/bowers/Republicants…
November 17th, 2009 at 12:05 pmSo Obama’s a wussy and a black man and a child of the 60s! Woo hoo! He just hit the Right’s perfect trifecta of contempt!
November 17th, 2009 at 12:11 pmAnd supposedly the right wingers are trying to “distance” themselves from racism, huh? Well if this guy’s spew is any indication….
Epic Fail.
November 17th, 2009 at 12:22 pmAnd kiss him like you’re down for marriage equality…yea baby…
November 17th, 2009 at 12:31 pm“Washington Times op-ed: Obama lacks ‘blood impulse’ for what America ‘is about’ due to his ‘Kenyan father.’”
Wow, what dispicable words…
“Born to a mother attracted to men of the Third World and reared by grandparents in Hawaii, a paradise far from the American mainstream.”? This dirtbag has racist issues. He owes President Obama an apology for that stereotype insult against his mother, father and grandparents.
November 17th, 2009 at 12:50 pmThis ind of bigotry is attrocious. How does someone spew such racist idiocy and not KNOW they are outing themselves as disgusting bigots?
November 17th, 2009 at 12:55 pmI’ve been closely following politics for over 50 years and I have never felt more embarrassed and disgusted with American conservatives. Since Obama’s election, they have reached new lows I couldn’t have imagined.
Fearful, ugly, racist, war-mongering, xenophobic, misanthropic, completely lacking in empathy and sympathy – just all the worst human traits one could imagine all rolled into the modern conservative movement.
It’s shocking really. They seem to have lost their minds.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:02 pm.
People,
Wesley Pruden isn’t mad that the democratically elected man sitting in the White House comes from the Democratic Party nor is he upset that Mr. Obama is half white…
… Wesley Pruden is mad because Mr. Obama passes as a black man.
.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:15 pmOMG — This kind of nonsensical, unfounded, uncalled for, and insulting analysis of Barack Obama is indicative of someone who is stupid and irresponsible.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:17 pmConservatives feel entitled to say the most outrageous and disrespectful things about the president – something they never tolerated when Reagan or Bush were concerned – but the election of a Democrat, a black man, someone who is far more intelligent and aware than any conservative I know of brings out the worst in them and they just spew this bile when they open their mouths to speak.
I would be so embarrassed to be a conservative — but I doubt they suffer any shame — one has to have a conscience, a sense of morality, integrity and ethics in order to feel shame.
Is this guy saying that being American is genetic? Got to be one of the stupidist ideas since creationism.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:22 pmMarie says:

Republicans have forgotten the adage “What goes around, comes around.” Some day there will be a Republican president and the disrespect they are heaping on Obama will come back on them. They will also get what they give when it comes to the legislative and appointment process.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:39 pm81. pags2,
Only problem is that Democrats / Liberals have more respect for both the law and the value of public discourse. Both of which keep them from teabagger disruptions and the extreme dirty tricks.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:53 pmAnd exactly who is Wesley Pruden to criticize Barack Obama or anyone for that matter? For all we know, Pruden’s hobby is hanging out at grade school playgrounds and collecting child pornography. Lord knows, he looks, acts, and thinks like a pervert.
November 17th, 2009 at 3:02 pmclaims that President Obama “seems never to have studied much American history”

This time period and the culture of life that he grew up in and that must have formed his world-view certainly is interesting.

Obama is relating to his Heavenly Father, as the Bible teaches us in Matthew 20:26 “It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant.” which signfies to me that President Obama is a great man.
