Carrot Top. Oy vey.

Cute, although we all know that it is really the FREEMASONS who control the Skull & Bones who control the Trilateral Commission who control the Council on Foreign Relations who CONTROL THE WORLD!

Way to go Hutton. That's a load off my mind. I can die in peace now.

I was absent from Hebrew School when they handed out the assignments.

I don't want to control the international monetary system; I'll settle for Czar of Supermodels, if the slot is still open, please.

I disagree with the world view of Mel's dad, but for the life of me I don't see airing his views to be a good way to get back at Mel or trash Mel's movie.

Mel's movie has caused a religious awakening. Now there's something to be punished for.

Mel, I salute you.

I like Plaut.
Mainly because when he goes after Reform Judaism, he really makes points.

Funny stuff! :^)

He said he would be launching a search for a new minority group to demonize.

Maltese? No, the dogs are just too cute...not the Swiss, where would we be without the lovely timepieces and holey cheese? I know...

Norwegians!!!

Very funny!

I trust the Jews feel greatly relieved now. This has been an enormous responsibility. Not even the Rothschild family could have borne it much longer, I fear.

But, the world doesn't need to worry too much. There's also Steve Martin and Robin Williams.

The Winan brothers, too.

[narses]

A sad ping.

I have yet to see anyone delve into the geo-political views of other artists parents. And believe me, there are a lot of nutty parents out there, so it's not like the story here is that they finally found the parent of a celebrity with goofy opinions.

No, anyone being honest knows that the reason any of us even know the name of Mel's dad - let alone his views on the holocaust - is because Abe Foxman declared Mel the enemy of Judaism, and wasn't able to make a very good case of it with the material he had. And Mel was such a terrible, awful anti-Semite it simply wasn't fair that they didn't have anti-Semitic statements or acts to pin on him. In that case it was obviously justified to make a celebrity and villain out of a dad who we'd never heard about before. That way people would at least have a good reason to presume Mel truly is a horrible anti-Semite, and his good behavior toward Jews in his real life is exposed as actually being a sinister plot on his part to hide his true nature.

Seriously, I think there are people who think this way. And a lot of other sheep who baaaa right along without stopping to wonder why we suddenly care about the opinions of a man who had previously been entirely obscure.

I'm sorry to all the people who took offense to this, but it was pretty funny.
Christians get slammed but from what I can see (yet don't understand) the Jews are beated on more than anyone else.
BTW Mel's dad was mentioned once. He is an old man with old ideas. I knew many people who were bigoted against many when I was a child. The problem is not the old with the old ideas, it's the young that keep them up.
