24. I disagree. I think that Cohen is largely misrepresenting the people...

...he's pictured with in the film. Some editing, some misleading premise offered to his unwitting victims, some staged and made-up event (ie. the Romanian gypsies' "running of the Jews" festival), maybe some alcohol, and voila! See how anti-Semitic the people on film really are (when maybe they really aren't).

He's also such a chicken that he responds to critics' charges only when in character; Baron Cohen himself needs to hide behind Borat.
