I am Jeandaux!

pistolero on March 28, 2007 at 8:29 AM

What a(nother) terrific Vent! I love it. Absolutely 1st rate and deserves a slot as a public service message from the National Ad Council.

IrishEi on March 28, 2007 at 8:30 AM

You won’t see this on CAIR’s website.

Great job gang.

right2bright on March 28, 2007 at 8:39 AM

Awsome just completely awsome!!
I am John Doe.. no really, I am.

Viper1 on March 28, 2007 at 8:43 AM

Excellent!

RedWinged Blackbird on March 28, 2007 at 8:44 AM

Amazing, isn’t it, that the Congress actually had to write legislation to stop this crap and, that over 100 Congressmen voted against enacting it?

So totally twisted that I think most people don’t want to even ponder what is going on.

Babs on March 28, 2007 at 8:46 AM

Nice try, but Spike Lee ruined this kind of thing for me with his stupid ending to the otherwise-impressive “Malcom X.”

I can’t watch Spartacus without wincing, either. Thanks Spike!

Anton on March 28, 2007 at 8:52 AM

Now that is what I expect to see from fellow conservatives! You made my day. Keep it up! Do one of those a day and I can quit drinking!

Remember, 121 PC dems voted against the bill that protects those who report suspecious behavior. PC’ness demands that the speech of those on the plane be attacked and ignore the principle behind the “un-PC” speech.

csdeven on March 28, 2007 at 9:02 AM

I am John Doe. FU sue me!

TheBigOldDog on March 28, 2007 at 9:03 AM

Let’s just call a spade a spade shall we? CAIRs job is to breakdown and destroy American-Islamic relations.

Experts usually say Muslims in America haven’t acted out in violence (like in Europe) because life and relations are different here in the US. For the most part, we are a live-and-let-live people made up of cultures from across the globe so we are tolerant and accepting by nature. CAIR wants to put an end to that.

TheBigOldDog on March 28, 2007 at 9:11 AM

I’m Jane Doe. Good mornin’, ya’ll. *sips coffee*

pullingmyhairout on March 28, 2007 at 9:17 AM

I’m John Doe… I double-dog-dare you to sue me.

Rick Donaldson on March 28, 2007 at 9:19 AM

Oh Yeah… CAIR, you might wanna read MY BLOG, I’ve been bad mouthing you for months now…. /chuckles

Rick Donaldson on March 28, 2007 at 9:19 AM

Nice try, but Spike Lee ruined this kind of thing for me with his stupid ending to the otherwise-impressive “Malcom X.”

Spike Lee cannot end a movie. “Crap, how are we gonna wrap up this joint?” “Why not just have a character look skyward and yell in anger and frustration? Noooooooooo!” “Well, OK, it’s worked every other time.”

That said, CAIR (feces be upon them) could teach Jesse Jackson a few shakedown lessons.

Remember Michael Graham?

saint kansas on March 28, 2007 at 9:23 AM

I cannot imagine anyone would be opposed to this.”

Apparently, 124 august members of congress ARE opposed to it.

“Absolutely they should have the ability to seek redress in a court of law,” Says Rep. Thompson, a (surprise) Democrat from Mississippi.

Sad to say, three of the nay votes are from PA.

dalewalt on March 28, 2007 at 9:33 AM

I am John D’oh!

Mistahtibbs on March 28, 2007 at 9:43 AM

John Doe?
Present!

Tru2my2 on March 28, 2007 at 9:45 AM

If you have very strong suspicions about other passengers, just light an American flag on fire. You’ll get the flight cancelled and protect yourself from prosecution.

saint kansas on March 28, 2007 at 9:50 AM

I’m Spartacus.

Who the hell is John Doe?

John from OPFOR on March 28, 2007 at 9:50 AM

“This might be well-intended, but it has unintended consequences,” Mr. Thompson said, before he accepted the motion to recommit.

Sorry Charlies but I’d rather be called a racist than a dead man. Or a cop buddy states, “it’s better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6.”

VikingGoneWild on March 28, 2007 at 9:52 AM

I am John Doe! I am in Minnesota! I am a Christian! I am a U.S. Veteran! Sue Me!

RedinBlueCounty on March 28, 2007 at 10:00 AM

“This might be well-intended, but it has unintended consequences,” Mr. Thompson said, before he accepted the motion to recommit.

I agree 110 percent.

By “this,” of course, he’s referring to political correctness, right?

saint kansas on March 28, 2007 at 10:11 AM

DAMN! I got CHIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiLLS…..Bryan, you make a GREAT MEGA VOOICE….

I am JANE DOE…and I will kick your A$$ old school just like my Hunky Husband, John.

seejanemom on March 28, 2007 at 10:14 AM

I am… JOHN DOE!

Best VENT EVAAAH!

Chills dont quite describe it.
Rock ON HA, Rock ON!

-Wasteland Man.

WastelandMan on March 28, 2007 at 10:16 AM

I hereby nominate this vent for the 2007 Michelle!

Dread Pirate Roberts VI on March 28, 2007 at 10:23 AM

Sweet!

I am ~~Ayaan Hirsi Ali~~ John Doe! And I’m eyeballing you, Ibrahim.

Pablo on March 28, 2007 at 10:25 AM

I posted this in the Internet newsgroup talk.politics.guns on 20 September 2001, at 01:31:43 GMT, in response to a drive-by posting from a terrorist supporter/wanna-be:

A MESSAGE TO ALL TERRORISTS

Look over your shoulder. That’s right. See that shadowy figure following you down the street?

That’s me.

I am America.

I am white, black, yellow, red.

I am Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Pagan, atheist.

I am united.

I am strong.

And I am coming to KICK YOUR ASS!

Oh, and by the way, I am John Doe!

Rusty Bill on March 28, 2007 at 10:38 AM

Fantastic work, HotAir team.

Halley on March 28, 2007 at 10:43 AM

Hot Damn. You guys hit this one out of the park. Indeed, I too, am John Doe.

austinnelly on March 28, 2007 at 10:44 AM

One of your best ever. Do keep this up and highlight the outrageous times we live in.

And, yes, I am Web-u-doe, daughter of John.

All best, Webutante

Webutante on March 28, 2007 at 11:04 AM

I am John Doe.

Let’s roll.

steveegg on March 28, 2007 at 11:15 AM

Great Vent! Love the backdrop too!

This should definitely be shown as a PSA on MTV, but don’t hold your breath.

Thanks Hot Air crew.

Johnny Doe

JohnnyD on March 28, 2007 at 11:16 AM

OMG, that was just incredible. I would love to see that on TV.

CookeyD on March 28, 2007 at 11:17 AM

Made my day! YESSSSSSSSSS! I AM JOHN DOE!

YouTube it please!

heroyalwhyness on March 28, 2007 at 11:39 AM

I am John Doe, and I approve this messagge.

PC, the art of not offending those who don’t particularly care if they offend you.

Bobber on March 28, 2007 at 11:49 AM

Awesome. I’m looking forward to the sequel in which the assembled Congressmen who voted against the measure stand up one by one and declare to their CAIR overlords, “I am Play-Doh!”

saint kansas on March 28, 2007 at 11:57 AM

“I will not be censored in the name of tolerance.”

I love this line from the “I am John Doe manifesto”. It has potenetial as a sound bite, t-shirt slogan, tagline or placard lettering.

keats5 on March 28, 2007 at 12:09 PM

Did AP sneak a cameo in there?

hmmmmm…

mattshu on March 28, 2007 at 12:36 PM

I am Kaiser Sose!
But ya’ll better call me John, or I’ll have to kill you.

Multiculturalism and Islam: Sharia vs European constitutions

Problems in Holland and Denmark. Great Britain as an example: decades of multiculturalism that have lead to ghettos, closure, radicalism of Islamic communities. Women ever penalized. Being European citizens involves having the duty to integrate. Third in a series of articles.

How can we have judeo-christian civilization anymore when nobody believes they’re made in the imago dei? What exactly are we fighting for?

PRCalDude on March 28, 2007 at 1:19 PM

I am John Doe!

opusrex on March 28, 2007 at 1:21 PM

Did AP sneak a cameo in there?

hmmmmm…

mattshu on March 28, 2007 at 12:36 PM

Not a visual one; the other 4 faces that made it, according to Michelle, were Uncle Jimbo, Robert Spenser, Erick Stakelbeck and Bryan Preston.

However, I will put money on AP’s voice being in there someplace.

steveegg on March 28, 2007 at 1:22 PM

John Doe’s use of “lift” instead of “elevator” normally activates my one-man Campaign To Protect Amerucan English, but it’s a nice touch.

mymanpotsandpans on March 28, 2007 at 1:31 PM

I AM JOHN DOE

Kini on March 28, 2007 at 1:31 PM

I am John Doe, and I second the motion to YouTube this Vent.

MattSkosh on March 28, 2007 at 1:32 PM

Awesome!! I am chilly willy…uh…Jane Deaux.Yeah,thats the ticket.

spazzmomma on March 28, 2007 at 1:35 PM

Wow! One of the best vents yet!

New style of vent, makes the point, gives a call to action that makes sense, Wow!

I am John Doe!

omegaram on March 28, 2007 at 1:54 PM

Follow the links to the Peg Noonan column from October 2001. Read. It. All. We need to recapture the spirit of October 2001, when we were willing to overcome PC for the sake of winning the war and preventing more attacks. PC and the fear of PC is our greatest enemy.

salt1907 on March 28, 2007 at 2:07 PM

I too am John Doe. Please feel free to sue me. The line forms on the left. You are more than welcome to sue me for half of everything I own. Be forwarned though, half of nothing is still nothing.

SPIFF1669 on March 28, 2007 at 2:13 PM

I’d love to be John Doe, but I can’t stand flying. Never have liked to fly, and prefer to drive cross-country — or take AmTrak — if that is a viable option.

Ali-Bubba on March 28, 2007 at 2:15 PM

Add me to the list of John Doe as well.

Catie96706 on March 28, 2007 at 2:25 PM

I am Allahpundit.

No, um. I’m just confused.

Great vent!!

locomotivebreath1901 on March 28, 2007 at 3:01 PM

Excellent as usual, Hot Air!

bookwurm322 on March 28, 2007 at 3:35 PM

Another great vent that strikes the heart.

I AM JOHN DOE.

Bring it on.

mojowire on March 28, 2007 at 3:51 PM

I am John Doe.

Sigh me up.

RobertCSampson on March 28, 2007 at 4:22 PM

Bryan, was that your British accent? Impressive, for a southerner!

tikvah on March 28, 2007 at 4:29 PM

Just outstanding.

Thanks. And thanks for the rare testicular fortitude of our Congress.

More please!

techno_barbarian on March 28, 2007 at 4:31 PM

Awesome!!

This would be considered “hate speech” in Europe … but who cares, they are finished anyway, precisely because they are too gutless to stand up and say “I am John Doe”.

thirteen28 on March 28, 2007 at 5:15 PM

Very very (continue on a few more times) good.

Bob's Kid on March 28, 2007 at 6:21 PM

Today started out a bad day. You guys helped change that by giving me a stirring reason to remember the positive and think about something much bigger and more important than my petty problems. Thank you all for one of the best Vents ever.

I am John Doe!

p.v. cornelius on March 28, 2007 at 6:58 PM

I AM JOHN DOE!!!

TheFamousOne on March 28, 2007 at 6:59 PM

I “tuned in” at lunch today. Excellent, most excellent! First Class.

Now this is art. And yes…

I AM JOHN DOE

Zorro on March 28, 2007 at 8:25 PM

I am John Doe.

EnochCain on March 28, 2007 at 9:12 PM

Great Vent!

And, yes, I am John Doe.

CAIR can recognize me easily, as I was the Time Magazine Person of the Year.

That’s right, there are a lot of “me”. Bring it on!

IrishEyes on March 28, 2007 at 10:23 PM

I am “Pinky” John Doe…..

You want to come to my country and try to use our system of laws and decency against me?

Well, now you have the attention of my fellow brothers and sisters, they are called American Citizens and Patriots, ……. next up, let’s dance you Michael Foxtrots!

PinkyBigglesworth on March 28, 2007 at 10:27 PM

Great job!

Amazing, isn’t it, that the Congress actually had to write legislation to stop this crap and, that over 100 Congressmen voted against enacting it?

It is amazing. What is about being a dhimmi that makes one a dummy? Because this cowed posture that people have before CAIR is the beginning of dhimmitude.

smellthecoffee on March 28, 2007 at 10:47 PM

It is United Flight 93, not American Airlines 93. Other than that, brilliant.

At 2:01, one of the bad guys screams out to Clint Eastwood, “Who are you?!!” That’s the reaction we need from the Jihadists: Who are you?!! We are John Doe. Go ahead, make our day.

I love it, for I Am Also John Doe!!!

Je suis Entelechy.

You guys are great!

Entelechy on March 29, 2007 at 2:18 AM

OK, OK, I’m not John Doe! It was that guy, PinkyBigglesworth. He was the one who reported the suspicious behavior. He’s John Doe, not me!

I’m sorry guys… they were going to make me join in a nude human pyramid…
