Jackie Mason is being very reasonable/forgiving about the Gibson incident

[CatWoman]

he's on Countdown now.

He can't seem to see what the big deal is :shrug:

[babylonsister]

1. Jackie Mason rubs me the wrong way. My husband walked by

KO and said, "He's still alive?" :rofl:

[Tunkamerica]

3. is it jackie mason who guest hosts on right wing talk radio some times?

[babylonsister]

11. I don't know. I remember him from way back when in NY; he was a

comic.

[chimpymustgo]

23. A comic who made racist comments about Mayor David Dinkins.

Called in a "swartze" in an editorial board meeting with, I think, the NY Post. And it was definitely in the context of using a substitute for the n-word. He tried to lie his way out of it, but the truth came out.

Jackie Mason is a racist pig, trying to put some lipstick on.

[babylonsister]

26. Ah! I was in NY during Dinkins' reign. Perhaps that's why I'm less

than fond of the guy. Thanks for shaking the memory!

[Missy M]

2. Someone who is being sensible and reasonable...

regarding the ravings of someone under the influence.

[elehhhhna]

19. Jackie's a Rabbi and a very wise man. Glad he's till popping up.

[Jeanette in FL]

4. Yeah, I think he is right

He says the guy was drunk, do you believe anything that a drunk says. He says Drunks call their mothers "Whores", does that mean they want to open a whorehouse for their mother. No you say they are drunk. He also says he might have some deep down issues by his upbringing, but the guy was drunk.

It was good to hear. He also said that Pat Boone is one of Mel's good friends and said that there is not an antisemetic bone in his body. He think this is just a big nothing over nothing.

[Kingshakabobo]

13. Sure. All my drunk friends call their mothers whores and say they...

....want to sleep with their sisters. Mason has become a right-wing tool. He claims there is NO racism OR anti-semitism in this country. He needs to pull his head out of his ass because, as a white blue-eyed male who worked in a not-so-PC-industry, I'm hear to tell you it exists - bigtime. What a waste of a 3 minute segment.

[Vidar]

15. That's what the Jewish cop who arrested said too, I tend to agree.

[Tarheel_Dem]

28. Pat Boone?

tells me all I need to know. Mason is just another boot-licking, rightwing asshole. He lends his "jewish" credentials to the GOP lie factory, just like condi & people like ken blackwell. It makes me want to wretch. And I don't give passes to drunks, as I've found that the most hurtful & deep seeded feelings come out when they're "under the influence".

[asthmaticeog]

5. Jackie Mason is an ass.

Let's see, he called David Dinkins "a fancy schwartzer," called Islam "a murderous organization that's out to kill people" and said that "anyone who is in favor of gun control is a fucking moron."

[CatWoman]

6. he called Oprah a "yenta"

what's a "yenta"?

[Karenca]

7. a "gossiper" . NT

[americanstranger]

9. A gabby woman, a gossip.

- as

[asthmaticeog]

10. In yiddish, a derogatory term for a gossipy woman.

Actually, that one I could almost kind of let slide...

[tridim]

8. And he just said there's not much racism in America today

[CatWoman]

18. I could kick myself for complimenting him

what an asshole.

Oh well, live and learn.

:hi:

[spanone]

12. He was great. Looked great too.

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. He was an A**hole, as usual.....

his comment about blacks & racism was just vomit-inducing.

[CatWoman]

17. I posted this thread before he got off on that tanget

thanks :hi:

[originalpckelly]

16. I'm sorry but when you last got drunk did you blurt out antisemitic crap?

Maybe this is common for other people, but I am willing to bet it isn't.

[Libby2]

24. You got that right.

People reveal their true feelings under the influence.

[bullwinkle428]

20. "Repukes of a feather"...all you need to know, CW!

I'm on pins and needles waiting for the Billo book review, though!

[CatWoman]

21. LOL

Me too!!!

:hi:

[Jazzgirl]

22. To be honest, I have never particularly liked

Mel Gibson but for the life of me with all that is going on.....his incident is menial in the bigger scheme of things. I saw Jackie Mason on the TV but didn't stop to listen. Sorry....I cannot drum up the anger at Mel a lot of people has because he really isn't that important. I'm thinking about those babies in Lebanon and the other people that are suffering. *uck Mel Gibson!

JG

[nancyr]

25. Ye Gods, he's still alive?????

He must be at least 125 by now.

[PennyK]

27. I've seen him on Fox

Think it was either O'Really or Hannity's show....he was totally with the party line. I hate him...and that BS Yiddish accent...and that hair.
