the Super Bowl add from coca-cola
where they had a series
a different to a bit different
different people singing in america the beautiful
in different languages and start out in English in Bend Ind
you know I think up for it Spanish Arabic I'm not sure frankly all the
languages
here's a little bit of a clip from no
now we don't have okay now is fine are money to play you can't see it on you to
be in check it out
and I am it has
the the right-wing blogosphere went nuts arm
with the ok you know a
racist zina phobic
hysterical a
tweets I mean just the the whole the whole tweet thing
is just just amazing arm Michael Patrick Leahy writing over bright part i coming
to the company
use such an iconic song to push multi-culturalism
down our throats it's no wonder conservatives were outrage
multi-culturalism coke is a multinational corporation that does more
business outside the United States than
inside the United States on the one hand
I don't think that's the point they were trying to make them the United States
is a nation of immigrants just ask any Native American
are then
Allen West former congressman Allen West eases languages went from English
languages I didn't recognize we are on the road to perdition
holy cow a Todd steams said coca-cola's the official soft drink up illegals

executive director of the blacks here
a conservative columnist and syndicated radio host the blacks
fear spag readout net is the website and Kevin welcomed
welcome to the program thanks a lot Tom thank you agent free shipping here with
you thanks for joining us
so you know be a I'm
I'm assuming that you saw these these a these
racist and xenophobic tweets what's your response to these
well there with you know you can follow all the tweets time I don't think you
follow everything did
it's happening in the Twitter world because you have to be up 24/7 probably
have a staff about a hundred times larger
but let's just focus on the ones that you were talking about
I can't say I speak for the entire conservative movement on
on the the tweets it individual people made like you mentioned part magic
Patrick Michael Leahy and
and I'll Alan West Ham's the a good friend of mine
bought I will tell you is I think there's a couple things at play here one
is
the commercialization are the Super Bowl
to sorters naked about a political statement versus just enjoying a
football game I think that's issue number one always saying how
he know the is a coax iconic song from the lasts
two decades I think was I want to teach the world to sing and they had
you know people i mean they did the whole thing in English but they had
people of all colors all nationalities and they did this and other countries
and other languages
and it seemed to me like this was just the the newest incarnation of that but
hey we know we bring embrace everybody everybody loves coca-cola
well okay so it's a feel-good song I certainly remember the jingling grew up
with it
but what i'm saying is this is an American sport
football game its you know baseball apple pie and chevrolet or whatever you
are you saying america the beautiful
the okay so look here's the point: I don't think most conservatives
care that america is the mosaic of all the different people in the languages at
coca-cola was trying to her
convey with that I don't think most people cared about that I think what
most people care about in terms of conservatives
is the idea that we can get people to learn english
if you were to go to Mexico and you were to shoot that commercial
you have a buncha people they wouldn't understand any other except in Spanish
and there's there's no doubt true actually have spent a firm on a Time in
Mexico
mexico is a fairly multi-lingual cut society I
far more certain the United States now that is absolutely not true
the United States is far more multi-lingual in mexico you gonna make
out every
I had an office in mexico for many years the United States is far more
multilingual than
then most the other coaches our country's wanna give it credit for
we embrace the idea of multi column where we have said about the here years
might let me let me just
blare out Mike Mike concerned with the response this Kevin
and in 65 66 is 65 I think it was when when Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act
he told Bill Moyers
um the democratic party's gonna lose the south for a generation
because this but it's the right thing to do I'm gonna do it and in 72
nixon in the large she's mean the election 68
nixon explicitly we now know from the tapes explicitly
said let's get those white racists on board they've been the day in the
democrats back pocket for the last 50 years and we can pick them up
and and he did of and that was all southern strategy and then
last point man it's all yours ronald reagan
after he was anointed as the republican nominee in nineteen eighty at the
convention
his first speech as most iconic speech the speech that set the tone for
everything his first speech
was on states rights and was given in philadelphia mississippi the place where
three
so all rights workers were murdered in the nineteen sixties it was
I the Republican Party has been all about dog whistle politics
to the racists and xenophobes ever since 1972 and
this response from tony is still is its total nonsense first ball when you quote
all the things I just hit told you are true okay with white you leave out the
part a bill PJ saying I have those blacks voting Democrat that's actually
you know I have heard that from 45 different hazardous you cannot find a
bad tape it does not exist that was made up
on a right-wing website about three years ago and it has gone completely
viral in the right-wing
um blog a spear and stuff but I out tell your
ok now I think I hope for surv bows down to you and say any
anything literally anything you want if you can prove to me that that happened
because it did not bat is a big hassle
it actually did happen as well no I did not know as well as LBJ making the
comment
it will give them just enough to get by in on our look nobody is it LBJ
yea it is a %ah is fiction I'm telling LBJ
agent can help each a is enough how racists
and if you want to talk about you know the here's the thing you try we're
getting off the subject
up the idea that american officials policy at the Democratic Party was not
racist in fact they sign at the severe whitetail
moderate politicians policy up the democrats writers block the San Antonio
including
all up their platforms if you choose to go back and do the research
with absolutely easy to focus it was asked prior to the sixties yes
absolutely part to the cities in fact million look
we get we could get off til dawn who because we we're gonna disagree on that
way I want to go back to what are they talking about this fax I can play tapes
available
jail you're not you're not you not talking about fax if we want to talk
about
fax let's talk about a commerce you made a comment that america is now
multi-lingual
the majority of the people in this country speak more than one language we
have lots of Mexicans
we have more than 50 percent of Americans are part RBS filing anymore
yes more most of the country hit most then we should love always hustle
shouldn't wait
came should wait Richard what
we should love this commercial if we're all before poly label
quickly the we do what up that's the point of me are we love the commercial
we love the idea behind the commercial there's not a conservative in this
country that says
we don't want people to come to this country America having a leading killer
this is the concert was can we start on me arm
Kevin I we're on to the blacks fear dot net is the website can I look forward to
future conversations I'm sorry there are right heartbreak or less
no talking with the pic you take care you too
