Oops, I Did It Again: OSU’s Gee Slips

6 Comments

You’d think Ohio State president Gordon Gee would think twice about making jokes in public after his “Little Sisters of the Poor” wise crack landed him in hot water in 2010 and his “I just hope he doesn’t fire” comment regarding Jim Tressel after Tattoogate was widely mocked last year.

But Gee planted a foot squarely in his mouth again on Wednesday when he joked that trying to coordinate 18 separate divisions at Ohio State was like overseeing the Polish Army. Gee immediately realized his gaffe and joked he would have to raise money for them.

Gee made headlines for saying that schools like Boise State and TCU didn’t deserve to play for the national title because they scheduled the “Little Sisters of the Poor,” which upset the charitable organization before the two smoothed things over.

While most people don’t consider Polish jokes very offensive, Gee probably shouldn’t be making them in public.

I’ve heard of PC before but this is ridiculous. polish people have had worse things said…..forever.
- Why push Anti-Polish Hate Jokes?
  
  So why continue these anti-Polish slurs?
  
  Why should Polish people be good sports about hate jokes/ethnic slursabout them when no other ethnic group would tolerate this abuse?
  
  The slur about the Polish military being inferior is not true either.
  
  The Polish military was the forth largest Allied military to fight the Nazis. They fought on many fronts.
  
  Google “Squadron 303″.
  
  Polish Squadron 303 destroyed more Nazi German airplanes over Britain then any other Allied squadron.

Gee is a twice-retread president of “The” Ohio State University. He needs firing. Not so much for this. But because he is WAY overpaid. In the middle of “TattooGate” the dim bulbs who comprise the OSU BOD gave him a $150K raise, thus maintaining his position as the USA’s #1-highest paid college president. You kidding me? Nobody will work for less than his exorbitant salary? Time to go. Time for compensation tables to get cut in HALF or 2/3′ds. Everybody else is cutting back but colleges and university wage rates and salaries.

I guess the army goes where generals command it to go, same with universities. Sometimes both need commander in chief to be replaced so chaos may be organized.Maybe this is the case for OSU?

Is it just me or does this guy look like a stereotypical child molester? Oh and if that comment is inappropriate I apologize, and maybe I’ll raise some money for Ohio State literacy program.
Origin of “Polish jokes” is Nazi propaganda

Origin of Polish “jokes” came from Nazi German propaganda that was then pushed by Soviet communist sympathizers in Hollywood.
The racist stereotype that Poles are intellectually inferior or have subhuman intelligence came from Nazi German propaganda and Soviet propaganda.

For example, the MYTH that Polish horses were used to attack German tanks in WWII was total Nazi German propaganda that the Nazi Germans repeated over and over until it took a life of its own using the BIG LIE technique.

The Soviet Communists saw the value of this myth and the racist notion that Polish people have subhuman intelligence, so they had their Left-Wing sympathizers in Hollywood push it using Anti-Polish Television and Movie imagery to the American people.

The image of Polish people having subhuman intelligence was useful to the Soviet Communists, since then, people would not mind too much if Poland is occupied by the Soviet Union if Poles are portrayed as having a Slavic culture that is inferior and less then human.

The book “Hollywood’s War with Poland”, referenced how most movie producers in Hollywood in the 1930′s (and onward) had Left-wing Soviet sympathies and hence portrayed Poland in a negative way.

Nazi German hatred of Polish people:

As for the German Nazis (and even the Soviets) they then killed off the educated class of Poland first to make their racist stereotype of Poles a reality.

Polish “jokes” were in Hitler’s two speeches after he invaded Poland.
Hitler ridiculed Poles in his Sept. 19, 1939 speech in Danzig (today called Gdansk) and in his Berlin speech in Oct. 6, 1939 with these hate-through-humor anti-Polish “jokes” and references.

Ironically, Left-wing Hollywood and the TV Networks (like NBC-TV) pushed these racist Polish “jokes” even though they claimed to hate Nazis. Hollywood and NBC-TV evidently hate Nazi propaganda but not when its applied to Poles. Hollywood and Network-TV (NBC) have a deep hatred for Anti-communist, Pro-American, Pro-Catholic Poland.

The recent movie “Katyn” shows the German Nazis and Soviets killing the educated Polish class in Poland in order to make Poland “intellectually inferior” and easier to rule. This was during the time Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were collaborating with each other to destroy Poland as per their Molotov-Ribbentrop pact to destroy Poland together.

Polish jokes (in terms of Polish people having subhuman intelligence) did not predate the 20th Century since it was introduced in America by left-wing bigots in Hollywood and TV networks like NBC-TV in the late 1960’s and 1970’s with anti-Polish “shows” such as “Laugh In”, “The Tonight Show” and CBS-TV’s “All in the Family”

As recently as Nov, 5, 2011, NBC-TV had its resident anti-Polish Bigot Seth Meyers bash Poland’s hero Polish pilot who saved hundreds of lives on a crippled plane that landed in Warsaw.
