He's so racist he was best friends with Eddie Guerrero and Ron Simmons. I'd imagine he was friends with them as some kind of racist plot....that bastard.

Apparently you missed that whole border patrol spiel he did then. And his goose step in Germany. i also recall him Telling Orlando before OJ WOn the US Title from Cena that if he didn't win the belt that Jordan may as well go back home to "His People" (And i don't think he meant Bisexuals), or something like that. when you're gimmick is an Arrogant Rich Texan/New Yorker, it's understandable that you'd overplay on the racism.

Its just cheap heat. Like when Orton told Shelton Benjamin "Thats the problem with you people".

The thing is, after taking a look at his radio show... its not a gimmick. Except you know he's not racist, and he's more of an observationalist like you know bill hicks I don't get how being for a strong immigration policy=racism. here in so cal alot of legal hispanics are sick and tired of illegals being a drain on the system. If he has said something akin to "All Mexicans should leave" THAT would be racist....

I think WWE must have somethow found out that a majority of their audience is liberal. You can tell by the fact that in their presidential debate that the Democratic side was represented by face Mick Foley, while the Republican side was represented by heel JBL. This suggests to me that someone, perhaps Eddie Guerrero, knew that a right wing loudmouth wrestler might be an effective heel for WWE. The only flaw in this theory is the popularity of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

Not really, because it's a discussion of whether or not JBL's character believes certain things, not whether any of us do.

Well, whatever, let's prevent it by sticking to the topic of JBL and not insist that we will be going in a political debate direction.

JBL sometimes gets labelled a loudmouth buffoon, but the fact is, he talks over some fans' heads. The fact that he seems to be a racist bastard makes it so much worse.
Then he gets in the ring and all he does is brawl and cheat. Has there been a more dastardly heel in WWE in the last five years or so than JBL?

JBL has been the best pure heel WWE had since Triple H's first ME heel run. I've found him to be insanely entertaining

JBL is THE racist guy. His character is the stereotypical Conservative/Republican. He's a rich white man from the south who thinks that people like himself are superior.
He did the goose step in Germany.
The border patrol crap with Eddie.
The Godzilla thing in Japan (If you don't know what I'm talking about, somebody posted the video in this forum)
The Irish thing with Finlay.
All I can say is that it's a shame that they never feuded him with Orlando Jordan. Then JBL could've completed his racism by including blacks and gays (a bisexual guy is gay...I don't care what anyone says.)

Hell, they should've tried it. Nothing else they did made people care about Orlando Jordan. He had some notoriety as JBL's Chief of Staff and then as the guy who lost to Chris Benoit really fast, and that's about it.

It's his gimmick...
A self-made American man who despises poor people and foreigners.
And on a sidenote, white people tend to be racist against other whites because being "white" isn't enough of a bond to prevent inter-national/regional/social rivalries.

kinda like when rick rude used to tell all the 'fat, ugly, trailor trash to shut up" insult the audience, easy heel heat. I don't mind him saying that but I don't like the idea of JBL goose-stepping in a ring in Germany (didn't he actually do that?).

You remember that T-shirt of Randy Orton ticking off all the legends he’s killed? JBL should get one of those for every minority group he’s insulted/feuded with.
