TPM via AP:
Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell of Delaware said in a 2006 debate that China was plotting to take over America and claimed to have classified information about the country that she couldn't divulge.
O'Donnell's comments came as she and two other Republican candidates debated U.S. policy on China during Delaware's 2006 Senate primary, which O'Donnell ultimately lost.
She said China had a "carefully thought out and strategic plan to take over America" and accused one opponent of appeasement for suggesting that the two countries were economically dependent and should find a way to be allies.
"That doesn't work," she said. "There's much I want to say. I wish I wasn't privy to some of the classified information that I am privy to."
It is this kind of unsubstantiated fear the yellow people nonsense that spreads through the under belly of the conspiracy riddled right wing. No facts needed just throw in a "classified" and they eat this up. Yellow Peril! China is plotting an American takeover!
Never mind China is still a developing country trying to find a balance between its established government and its peoples' wants, needs, desires and liberties. It is also the kind of ignorant spewed nonsense that deserves a This Week in Yellowness, but I think Elon James has that on lock.
So I have this tidbit to the O'Donnell's out there.
Yeah, I'm Chinese and what?
Yeah, you know who this is,
Let me tell you this
The days of the pork fried rice and the chicken wings
coming to your house five years is over
