11/08/2008: "Veteran Austrian television personality unapologetic about his "racist" remarks about Obama"

Veteran Austrian television personality Klaus Emmerich has triggered a storm of criticism for his racist comments about Barack Obama, the US president-elect.

Klaus Emmerich has long been a figure in Austrian television news. His journalism career spans 61 years and includes a stint as a correspondent in Washington D.C. for ORF, Austria's public television station. He is something like the Wolf Blitzer of Austria.


Or, at least, he was. Now, the respected US expert has stained his own report card with a string of blatantly racist remarks regarding the election of Barack Obama in the US. Speaking on a talk show on the Austrian public channel ORF on Wednesday, he said: "I wouldn't want the Western world to be directed by a black man. When you say that is a racist remark: right, without a doubt."

[ The western world is becoming the Third World. Strange how only a few of us have noticed. ]

At least the democrats want to force legalized abortion on the housing projects and third world in America. I'm just looking at the bright side of things.

Ron Paul would have been the best of the plausible choices.

Honestly, considering the state America is in, the President-Elect's ethnicity didn't trouble me much. In fact, I wasn't even very concerned about his policies and I don't doubt he'll be able to deliver on his promises to the same extent any other politician would... Unfortunately, this isn't saying much.

Obama's election is neither indicative nor a cause of America's degeneration. Frankly, we'd have made little difference even if we'd elected Commander Schoep.
