We don't need HCKL to do that. It's ugly shit. I listened in on a press conference yesterday, at which James Hoffa did a real China-bashing turn - as bad as his anti-Mexican crap. He didn't speak the words "yellow peril," but he might as well have.

But HCKL would also offer apologies for the Chinese government, which doesn't deserve that kind of treatment, does it? A state that still calls itself socialist that nonetheless happily rents it workforce to Nike for 20 cents an hour is pretty repellent in my book.

HCKL stands on some pretty weak ground overall, though, given his admiration for Hitler's economic politics.
