Well, to be accurate, he called one a “f***ing cockroach”.

That was a professional opinion.

I was called a “Rat” by a priest when I was about 5. And I remember it to this day.

Did Sargeant Schultz ever apologize to LeBeau for calling him a "Cockroach"?

Read the whole thing. The skinny is that a bunch of Pallie protestors were trying to bring shame on Israel for having checkpoints to enter the country. The protestors were setting up such a barrier on campus to garner sympathy and the professor, who was Jewish, was asked by other concerned students to check it out.

It doesn't say exactly what the protestors said to the prof to provoke the comment, but it it was the usual anti-Jewish bigotry, then the prof's comment was certainly understandable.

It sounds more like an insult to cockroaches in my professional opinion.

Interestingly, Robert Clary, the actor that played LeBeau spent WWII in Buchenwald and was the only member of his family to survuve the war. John Banner (Sgt. Shultz) was an Austrian Jew who had emmigrated to the US in the late 30s, but like Clary, had no relatives survive. Leon Askin (General Burkhalter) was also an Austrian Jew who fled Europe prior to the war.

“Well, to be accurate, he called one a “f***ing cockroach”.”

An apology IS in order. After all, our country has only one true “f***ing cockroach” and he is the f***king cockroach in Chief!

All I can think of with calling someone a cockroach is the movie Scarface.

I bury those cock-a-roaches.

someday the American people will demand an end to the importation of our enemies into our midst (see today’s news cycle: “saudi arabian students increase 500% since 9-11”)

(but it may already be too late....)

Werner Klemperer, who played Colonel Wilhelm Klink in the show was born in Cologne to a musical family, Klemperer was the son of the renowned Jewish conductor Otto Klemperer and Johanna Geisler, a soprano. Klemperer was a violinist and an accomplished concert pianist. He broadened his acting career by performing as an operatic baritone and a singer in Broadway musicals. He can be seen playing in the violin section of the New Philharmonia Orchestra on the EMI Classics DVD Otto Klemperer – Beethoven Symphony No. 9. at a concert performed on November 8, 1964, at London's Royal Albert Hall. He can also be heard as the Speaker in Arnold Schoenberg's Gurrelieder, in a 1979 live performance with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The Klemperer family emigrated to the United States in 1935, settling in Los Angeles, where Otto Klemperer took up work as a conductor. Werner Klemperer began acting in high school and enrolled in acting courses at the Pasadena Playhouse before joining the United States Army to serve in World War II. While stationed in Hawaii, he joined the Army's Special Services unit, spending the next years touring the Pacific entertaining the troops. At the end of the war, he worked on Broadway before moving into television.

One of my old music instructors and father of a very dear friend served with Werner Klemperer in the Army. After the war he ended up playing in Spike Jones’ band - not exactly Broadway...
