Highlights:
Bicycle incident
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. [1]
Controversial remarks
On the April 9, 2008 broadcast of CNN's "Situation Room", when asked to comment on the United States' relationship with China, Cafferty responded: "Well, I don't know if China is any different, but our relationship with China is certainly different. 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 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". [2]

This guy is basically a racist.
I signed the petition a few days ago. - Re: 抗议签名Petition: Demand for Apology from CNN and Situation Roomposted on 04/14/2008
Cafferty just showed us what a true goon/thug is like. Shame on you, Mr. Cafferty ! - posted on 04/14/2008
My hat off to whoever put the following paragraph in the entry "Jack Cafferty" on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Cafferty):
"...He has shown himself capabale of displaying incredible racism with his reent comments about China, referring to Chinese people as 'goons' and 'thugs'. Such an extraordinarily bigoted man is rare to find in society. Indeed he is really more of an animal. "

so rzp = 竹芷? then thanks to rzp and her daughter! :-)
i think he does not deserve so much attention.
as soon as this guy is fired, I will forget him altogether. - Re: 抗议签名Petition: Demand for Apology from CNN and Situation Roomposted on 04/14/2008
I tried to sign, but came across an error, will try later. This guy not only discriminated Chinese people, but also twisted and stretched the facts of the Tibetan riot. He is an arrogant idiot. - Re: 抗议签名Petition: Demand for Apology from CNN and Situation Roomposted on 04/15/2008
I signed. We need more people to sign this petition...
I'm surprised so far only 41k signed the petition. There are so many chinese and chinese americans living in this country. I feel we need to learn from black community their spirits to fight against raicial injustice.

I just heard from a friend: According to LA18 TV channel, this weekend, Saturday, there will be a gathering of Chinese community in front of CNN building (office?) at LA for demonstration against CNN Cafferty's racial discrimination comments about Chinese people. - posted on 04/17/2008
I still receive messages from the Chinese student group at Cambridge U, although I left Cambridge a year ago. Here is what I got last night. It seems it is a "有预谋,有组织,有计划" global activitiy. Just wonder who is behind.
This is from Cambridge U:
亲爱的中国同胞们:
西方媒体对这次西藏暴乱和暴力阻挠奥运火炬传递的不公正报道,激起了全世界华人极大的愤慨。此次西方媒体借题发挥,把他们对中国的不满借人权问题来宣泄,故意误导西方观众,妖魔化中国,屏蔽中国人民的呼声。
作为中国人,难道我们就坐视不理,任由他们颠倒黑白,诋毁我们的国家吗?不,我们应该发出我们的声音,应该用事实来维护我们祖国的影响,告诉他们中国人很生气,后果很严重!
此次4.19示威得到了来自英国及全球各地华人的热烈响应,这次全球性的示威将同时在多个国家举行,包括英国,德国,法国,荷兰,泰国等。希望这次所有的中国人都能出一份力,让我们的声音更加响亮!

I got this one last night in email with a subject line "A try story???". I did a search, it is a posting widely spread in the Chinese sites, not sure who wrote it.
For the "try" in the the subject line, I am not sure if my friend meant "attempt, " or "trying, bothersome,effortful, etc."
At least it is a different perception ?......

事情发展到今天,当我们回首过去几个月所发生的事,仔细地思考这些似乎互不相关地事件,忽然发现,原来他们是这样有机地联系在一起.
事情起源于布什会见达赖.随后,德国跟着效仿.法国却对中国异常热情,结果获得了中国的大额订单,中法关系似乎进入了蜜月期.前一两个月,美国出了一件很 令人震惊且费解的事,美国空军把一大笔空中加油机的合同给了法国空中客车!波音公司震惊,国会震惊.从来都是美国发军火财,怎么美国的空军可以把这么重要 且大额的订单交给法国呢?刚开始各媒体积极报道,后来却很快悄无声息了.现在,我们再看这件事,才恍然大悟.布什从会见达赖那天起,就开始运作他的这轮牌 了.他紧跟着找了德国.德国答应了,会见达赖,结果中国立刻给她颜色看.德国鬼子尖啊,马上就不冒头了.眼看着自己给美国老大当枪使,法国佬却趁机捞好 处.可紧跟着,美国又找法国谈心了,要法国联合行动.法国人说了,我刚得了中国空客的订单,跟你干,我的钱就没了.美国高啊,说了,中国不买你的空客,就 只能买我的波音,反正钱是要进咱俩的兜里.这样吧,我把你损失的空客钱给你,这不就齐了!于是,就有了这么一个莫名其妙的美国买法国空客加油机的订单.
这招实在高啊!这就是我们不发展自己的大飞机的结果!
有了美国的这种绝妙安排,法国立刻就有恃无恐了.于是就上演了这么一出连议员都争相参加的抢夺圣火的闹剧!
布什导演这出闹剧的目的是什么呢?当今世界主要是美国与中国两大国博弈.但两大国都有足够消灭对方的核武,打是不行的;经济上又深深的互相依赖,虽然美国 的经济要强大的多,但他一方面依赖于中国提供的廉价商品维持其经济的发展,另一方面大量的国债在中国的手里赚着.在这种僵持的状态下,双方必须耐心地等待 并寻找对方的破绽.在一方获得绝对的优势并有把握消灭对方且不会对自己造成巨大伤害之前,双方不会撕破脸,只会不断地寻找截材,进行利益地互换.我想,布 什这次借北京奥运做了这个截,是准备着和北京交换点什么.具体内容,没人不知道,但既然这么卖力,所图当然不小,可能跟伊拉克有关吧.
总之,布什精心布局,并开始收网.英国顺利地出事了,法国干得更是让布什高兴.眼看圣火到了三番,该自己老大给手下的露一手了.我猜,CNN的解说词早就起草好了.几位解说人早背得滚瓜烂熟.岂料,这时,发生了一件出乎布什预料的事.
在美的中国留学生在得悉奥运圣火在巴黎受阻之后,在短短的两天之内,组织了上万人在三番保护圣火!很多提前设计好的忽然变了.CNN按照预先的安排四处寻 找突出藏独的画面好剪辑制作,结果不管从哪一个角度,总是不能避开四处的红旗,而且还把Liar的声音也录进去了,只好在网站上无声播放;几个主持人也没 什么墨水,眼睁睁看着满画面的红旗,还是照着提前写好的台词念,结果对着红旗说是抗议中国人权状况.CNN这个脸算丢大了.你说得再响,别人不是瞎子傻 子,打着中国的国旗怎么也不是抗议中国吧.
中国的留学生,成了一张谁也没预想到的牌!由于这张牌的出现,美国在英法等的手下面前颜面尽失.法国傻了,我冲前头了,老大怎么没跟上啊?德国最滑头,这两天已经开始刊登向着中国的评论了.见风使舵得真快啊!
这下,老大很生气!后果很严重!
老大精心布的局,花了一大笔钱给那法国狗买狗食,眼看就要成局,然后就可以向中国当局好好敲上一笔了.结果却做成了夹生饭.后面的,要么是中国的铁哥们, 要么也会向德国一样见风使舵.这副牌再打不打都意义不大了.而中国呢,在边上一声没吭,看着自己白忙活了半天.看耍猴还得交钱呢!
事件虽然还在发展,老大还会想别的花样挽回面子,但到面前为止,老大已经输了以下三点:
1.精心准备的一副牌做了夹生饭,就算打出去也是威力大减,所以从全局来说,已经输了一大半.
2.多年编织培养起来的中国人对于西方媒体的信任毁于一旦.(都怪主持人那几个笨蛋,就会背书本).
3.如果上面两条令老大气恼沮丧的话,那么第三条就令老大恐怖了.原来就在自己的身边竟然隐藏这这么强大的一只支持中国的力量,其人数之多,组织速度之快,令老大毛骨悚然.(当年就曾让某政府有过同样的感觉).
相反,中国则看了一场戏,团结了群众,意外地得到了一只海外的力量,排除了西方媒体对国人的蒙蔽.收获颇丰而未费吹灰之力.
老大现在会干什么呢?老大最急着要做的就是打掉或至少削弱这只隐藏在自己身边的力量.上次是被打了个突然袭击,现在,老大攒足了力气,就等着这只力量再出来,好一拳打过去,他怕的就是你不来.
中国的留学生们,不要被上次的成功冲昏头脑.上次是一次突然袭击才侥幸得胜.如果是打阵地战呢?你们的游行时间网上都可以看到.人家不怕你.首先是藏独, 我们可以鄙视他们的为人,但他们是经过正式训练的,有巨额资金资助,组织严密,留学生们是对手吗?其次,现在人家在等着你来.可能现在连新闻稿都写好了, 就等你出来,然后人家专找一些特别的/删减过的镜头拍摄,配上事先准备好的文字,你们一定会被歪曲成负面的典型.CNN无耻地歪曲火炬接力的实际作为不就 是最好的例证吗?人家已经设好了套等着你们呢.
即使你自己做得很正面,人家可以写成负面;人家还可以找些什么人故意找茬;如果你们还不上当,他们会有自己的人混在你们的队伍里,由他们去打,去抢.你们能控制吗?
如我上面所分析的,老大这次已经输了,输在了你们这只突起的骑兵之下.想要达到的,其实已经都达到了.最好的结果就是现在立刻收手,让对方在被突然打击后想找人反击却找不到对手!
老大最害怕的是这样一支奇兵的存在,而不在于他的力量到底有多大.再进一步去游行/去抗议,正是别人希望的反击的机会!
看了我的帖子,很多年轻的朋友可能会骂我.20年前,我也曾和你们一样,满怀激情,站在广场上,却不懂得生活的复杂和曲折.20年的风雨,我见了更多的东 西,也想了很多,认识了政治斗争的复杂和残酷.我希望那些当年也曾同样站在广场上现在已人到中年的朋友和我一起,劝说我们的留学生们冷静下来,认真思考. 这次只不过是大国博弈中的一次换手.力量会不断的此消彼长.这次已经赢得很漂亮了.再多,可能就画蛇添足了.至于奥运,我坚信布什一定会去的,因为现在还 不到和中国撕破脸的时候.
我知道,一定有藏独也在看这帖子,我奉劝你们一句,两个大国间的每一次换手都是利益的交换,英法也不过是棋盘上的两粒小卒,你们更是上不了台面的几个筹码 而已.一旦利益交换完成,你们就再也没有任何价值,你们的主子理都不会再理你.如果中国顺带想要你们的狗头的话,你们的主子会好不犹豫地给你拧下来.所 以,别在这张牙舞爪,给自己留条退路.

"中国人很生气,后果很严重!" (我引的 post)
"老大很生气! 后果很严重!" (竹枝引的 post)
这是八零后的语言吗?怎么人人都在用?以前只听说批判于丹人士说“孔子很着急,庄子很生气"。
狗了一下,才发现很多地方都在发动4月9日世界范围的游行。 - Re: 抗议签名Petition: Demand for Apology from CNN and Situation Roomposted on 04/17/2008
我一直盼着有人找我去上街抗议呢. 可我们这儿咋一点儿动静都没有?
我想我们是在一个民主国家, 以少数族裔的身份抗议媒体的不公, 发出自己的声音. 希望不会有人借此表达爱国热情, 发泄民族主义情绪什么的. - Re: 抗议签名Petition: Demand for Apology from CNN and Situation Roomposted on 04/17/2008
想起以前看到的一幅漫画,在一个周末抗议集会上一个 liberal activist 问另一个,"which protest are you going to join next weekend?" 很可爱哈!:-)
But, seriously, 亚裔发出点声音挺好,"Squeaky wheel gets the oil", 这话没错。 - posted on 04/17/2008

呼吁书
当北京奥运的圣火在奥林匹斯山上点燃的那一刻起,就预示着它承载了无尽的祝福、期待以及四海同心般的欢乐!但,我们知道,它也必将会经历许多扰人的风雨、非难以及人性中最阴暗的诅咒……
美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)在转播北京奥运火炬在旧金山传递时,主持人卡弗蒂先生发表攻击中国人的言论,妄称“50年来中国人基本上一直是一帮暴徒与蠢人”……针对这一具有强烈种族歧视色彩的攻击,身为美国华人,
我们想说,150多年前,在美国西部几近蛮荒的时代,无数的华人在烈焰之下修建了横跨美洲的西部大铁路……二十年后的1869年,这段铁路在犹他州的普洛门特利(Promontory,Utah)同联合太平洋铁路终于接轨时,道路两旁矗立叹望的工人几乎都是华人,而在他们身后又有多少人把生命倾洒在这片土地上……曾经有一位美国白人历史学家说过:“如果没有华人贴在几乎垂直的悬崖上用他们的血汗努力工作,如果没有华人闯过了其它族裔难以忍受的难关,这段跨越历史的铁路决不会建成”…… 因此,我们要说,他们不是暴徒与蠢人,他们是勤劳的美国华人!
我们想说,60多年前,第二次世界大战时,许许多多美国华裔子弟就投入到那场如火如荼的神圣战争中,他们舍生忘死,浴血奋战,为这个国家的尊严作出了巨大的牺牲!一位美国国会议员曾经这样说:“如果不是这场战争,美国可能永远都不会知道在美华人有多么热爱这片土地!”在1942年,就是在旧金山,这个奥运火炬面临重重困扰的地方,当时旧金山的华人紧衣缩食为红十字会募集善款、购买战争公债!与这个国家甘苦与共、不离不弃……因此,我们要说,他们不是暴徒与蠢人,他们是无畏的美国华人!
我们想说,在现实社会中,在许多领域里、无数的美国华人精英!为美国的进步与发展作出了无比突出的贡献!杨振宁、李政道、丁肇中、王赣骏、贝聿铭、丁绍光、马友友、骆家辉、赵小兰、关颖珊……因此,我们要说,他们不是暴徒与蠢人,他们是优秀的美国华人!
我们还想说,四十五年前美国黑人民权先驱马丁.路德金先生就有“一个梦想”……
梦想有一天,这个国家将会真正实现它的立国信条的真谛:“人人生而平等!”,不再有歧视、傲慢与种族的界限!
梦想有一天,一个非正义和偏见的热浪逼人的荒漠之地,也会改造成为真正自由和公正的青青绿洲,不再有谎言、误解与恶意的诽谤!
梦想有一天,我们将生活在一个不是以种族的肤色,而是以品格与才能的优劣作为评判标准的国度里,各族裔守望相助,如同弟兄姊妹。
遗憾的是,四十五年过去了,马丁.路德金先生的梦想彷佛并没有真正的实现!百年奥运的圣火在如同卡弗蒂先生这样人的眼中,带来的不是包容与理解的温馨祝福!不是奥林匹克和谐、团结的崇高理念!而是嫉妒、歧视、误解、谎言、偏见与诽谤!这些衮衮诸公期盼的不是北京奥运华典的徐徐拉开,而是潘多拉盒子打开后幽灵般的如影随形!
所以,今天我们不但想说,我们更要行动起来……2008年4月19日,拿出您的勇气,来一起捍卫我们应有的尊严与权益!身为美西南的华人华侨,让我们走上街头,到CNN去,发出我们共同的声音!抗议CNN对中国的负面报导,抗议卡佛蒂的辱华言论,我们一致要求CNN及卡佛蒂本人必须立即向全世界华人进行公开的、正式的、且具有诚意的道歉,消除此一恶劣影响,如果CNN不作出此一道歉,我们将呼吁:
l 将联合世界各地华人要求中国政府取消CNN北京奥运的报道权;
l 将采取法律行动,追究CNN的诽谤侮辱责任和相关赔偿;
l 将动员华人的力量,对CNN采取抵制、不合作等相应措施。
四十五年前,马丁.路德金曾经说过:“现在正是时候!现在不是缓和情绪或服用渐进主义镇静剂的时刻。现在是从黑暗与荒凉的歧视幽谷中崛起走向充满阳光的、平等的大道上的时候了……”
是的!现在正是时候!
