In reply to the discussion: Brett Favre duped by white supremacists into making anti-semitic conspiracy video [View all]xor
(1,204 posts)10. What do you base this on?
As mentioned, he donated and apologized. If he had no problems with making this video and supported the message knowing it would get out, then why he back peddle and try say otherwise by apologizing and donating? What is the purpose of that? Has he ever said anything in the past to suggest he is antisemitic?
Reading that thing read, then only that stood out to me at first was the USS Liberty. I wouldn't be surprised if Bret Favre has no clue about the USS Liberty. Those names are not names I ever heard of, and the term "smalls" as a pejorative against jews totally new to me. I can totally see how someone can mistake that as being harmless. Although, I bet he'll be more careful and vigilant in the future if does any more of these.

Don't buy it. Brett Favre clearly was in support. He just got caught being a racist.

Well, at least he doesn't text pictures of his junk to models/cheerleaders!
