Senator Akaka calls columnist’s comments “absolutely outrageous”
By Greg Small
Honolulu, Hawaii (AP) Washington Post columnist George F. Will’s relating of the Native Hawaiian recognition movement with one of Adolph Hitler’s most infamous Nazi followers has drawn the ire of Sen. Daniel Akaka. Will’s column, “Social Engineers In Paradise,” takes aim at a congressional bill that would give Native Hawaiians federal recognition similar to that of American Indians. The column begins with a 1934 quotation from Hermann Goering, Hitler’s air force chief as well as a top aide: “I decide who is a Jew around here.” Will wrote that under the legislation, “Goering’s role would be played by a panel empowered to decide who is a ‘Native Hawaiian’ and entitled to special privileges and immunities.” |
