Their theme:

Wrestling used to get away with a lot of blatant cism deep into the 90's that most other shows weren't allowed to anymore for some reason. I remember Jerry Lawler used to make racist jokes on air all the time. And the Nation of Domination...

blatant....talkin about the Rock's dad here.

WWE Creates Racist Wrestler to Demonize Tea Party


Heel character gets “fan mail” from Alex Jones, Glenn Beck & Rush Limbaugh

World Wrestling Entertainment has jumped on the bandwagon of demonizing Tea Party Americans as racists by creating a xenophobic character who espouses anti-immigrant rhetoric, as WWE commentators quip that he receives “fan mail” from Alex Jones, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.

Jack Swagger and his manager Zeb Colter appeared on Monday Night Raw last night and were booed by the audience as they talked about the constitution, the bill of rights and illegal immigration while standing in front of a ‘don’t tread on me’ flag.

The WWE is playing the race card for the purpose of a gimmick as Swagger prepares to fight Mexican wrestler Alberto Del Rio for the world heavyweight title at Wrestlemania.

During Swagger’s match, commentators Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler joked that Swagger and Colter had received “fan mail” from conservative radio talk show hosts Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Alex Jones.

Twitter users reacted with outrage, slamming the WWE for “crapping all over the Tea Party” by “promoting a Racist, immigrant hating Tea Party character vs a Mexican wrestler.”

“What the fukk are you doing with this Zeb Colter guy? A heel with a Tea Party stereotype angle? Do you still want my money?” asked Mark Scudder.

This is part of the divide and conquer tactic of cultural subversion to manufacture racial division and to characterize the Tea Party, conservatives, libertarians, opponents of uncontrolled illegal immigration and constitutionalists as racist, extremist radicals who should be pushed to the fringes of the political discourse.

Now the demonization runs so deep that it’s even being bolstered by WWE wrestling.

The fact that WWE is owned by Vince and Linda McMahon, who are part of the Republican establishment, also tells us a lot about how grass roots conservatives and libertarians are viewed by those near the top of the power structure.

Why are we getting so wound up about a wrestling gimmick? WWE programming reaches 14 million Americans every week – and millions more worldwide. To put it in context – that’s more than 10 times the amount of viewers who watch America’s top rated news show, The O’Reilly Factor.

This follows the relentless campaign on behalf of the federal government, via the MIAC report, via the Department of Homeland Security and others to portray Americans who oppose big government as domestic extremists and even terrorists.

Vince got a hit on his hands with this one. Hope he doesn't bytch up like with the Muhammad Hussan character. For those of you that don't follow, he was a Muslim American character that shyt on the US by telling the truth about everything that was going on. He got fired for bring apart of a storyline that was too close to the real life London bombings

at the usual cast of characters getting their collective panties in a bunch over a wrassling character. Wrassling has always played up stereotypes as documented in this thread. Cmon guys, Get a sense of humor.

:orly: Not feeling it. I rode with Swagger for a good while (before the last few months). I don't need propaganda infiltrating every form of entertainment and enjoyment. They already ruined Law & Order: SVU with this b.s. That used to be the best show still in syndication.
