美国华人团体“合法移民协会”发起网上连署抗议活动,号召全球华人向CNN抗议,要求CNN道歉,并对该主持采取行动。到昨天为止,已有八千多人在网上联署。他们还呼吁联署的华人把联署信转发其他华人组织,号召全球华人反击,让CNN的传真机堆积如山,让CNN的电邮信箱被「抗议Cafferty」的信件挤爆。
CNN的电邮地址:http://www.cnn.com/feedback/ Jack Cafferty本就是一个垃圾人物,其父母熏酒,自己熏酒驾车连闯红灯被警察截停,判罚款和社区服务。这个备受争议的家伙,从来就时事问题是语不惊人誓不休(例如就希拉里和奥巴马,他的题目就是赤裸裸的“ Easier to elect black man or woman?”),口不遮掩,用词尖刻,尤其喜欢搬弄是非混淆黑白,其评论节目被许多观众斥为“垃圾”。
他的原话如下:
"I don't know if China is any different, but our relationship with China is certainly different,"
“我不知道中国是不是有什么不同。但我们与中国的关系绝对是不同的。”
"We're in hock 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 are also running hundreds 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.
“有一件事可以肯定的是,由于在伊拉克打仗,我们已经把身上几乎所有的东西都典当给了中国。他们手拿着我们数以千百亿的美元。我们手上拿的却是数以千百亿价值的贸易逆差。可我们还在继续进口他们的垃圾,上面有超标的铅,还有宠物食品也毒,另外还有,你知道,我们把就业机会也给出口了,出口到那些地方,你每月只要付几个小钱,他们就能把我们在沃尔玛要买的东西给造出来。”
"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."
“所以,我想,我们与中国的关系真的是改变了。我想,他们基本上还是那群过去50年间一直没有什么改变的goons和thugs。”
许多观众说他:
“Cafferty is just terrible!!! So blatently biased and evidently in One's corner. Very inappropriate for a news person".
“Can we get rid of Cafferty on CNN ?”
"I agree with CNN losing Mr. Cafferty. I've expressed my opinion in his "blog". Every question of his for the last several weeks has been anti-Chinese. Go figure!"
"Cafferty is in the classification of modern day ignorance. He is a Chinese hater by trade. He should not be on TV because he looks like he's always constipated and he has nothing to offer but hate and negativity toward one people."
"I mean, his book, speaks about his alcoholic mother and father, and then his alcoholism. Now I am not putting down anyones illness, but at this point his anger at 4 oclock well it just seems to me he is hurtin for that drink. He is such a digrace, I dont know why CNN allows him to continue!!! "
" Yeah he's a real piece of shit...Cafferty pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident and misdemeanor charges of reckless driving, assault and harassment after striking a cyclist on May 14, 2003. Cafferty was sentenced to a $250 fine and 70 hours of community service. Mr. Cafferty was charged with the traffic infraction, along with misdemeanor charges of reckless driving, assault and harassment, after the police said he knocked a man off a bike with his Cadillac on Ninth Avenue. The bicyclist was slightly injured. A traffic officer and several pedestrians ran after Mr. Cafferty's car, but he ran at least two red lights without stopping, according to a police complaint."
