Kramer's career in freefall after fresh claims of racism 23.11.06
Outburst: Richards allegedly lashed out at Jews during performance earlier this year, yelling at one audience member: "You're a f***ing Jew
The career of actor Michael Richards, famed as Seinfeld's wacky neighbour Kramer, took a further nosedive today as fresh details of his racist comments came to light.
Shocking racist rant from Seinfeld sidekick
Richards launched a furious rant at two black hecklers during a standup show in Los Angeles last weekend.
At the request of pal Jerry Seinfeld, Richards later appeared via satellite on the David Letterman Show to apologise.
But he has now been accused of making anti-Jewish comments during a stand-up routine as well.
Richards allegedly lashed out at Jews during performance earlier this year, yelling at one audience member: "You're a f***ing Jew. Your people are the cause of Jesus dying."
Carol Oschin, who was at the show, said: "We didn't know if this was part of the act. He was getting very (verbally) violent, very agitated."
Maybe he's applying for the job of Hillary's running mate.
Richards is Jewish.
He & Jon F'n Carry should get together, both have "hoof in mouth disease"!!!
Self hating, perhaps? Stick a fork in him, he's done...
Nobody seems to care about Iraq anymore. Its now "Kramer" 24/7.
I think he was done after the last episode of Seinfeld. The Michael Richards show back in 2000 was quickly canned.
Nope.
Got to agree there. How the heck it THIS still making headlines?
Give thanks for your luck, take your money, buy a nice place in the country, learn how to build furniture and leave the rat race.
How does that make his career any different from BEFORE the fresh claims of racism?
The saddest part of this story is that it continues to have legs with all the other issues more important in the world.
Many Americans are a sorry lot for even thinking this is important.
;-)
Yep. It's not like Richards is a youngster or anything. He makes more money walking to the mailbox every week than most people make in ten years.
Maybe we'll see him in a few years on one of those reality shows with other washed up celebs.
From that link:
"He then spent two years in the Army developing educational skits and a couple more years "finding himself" at a commune in the Santa Clara Mountains"
Interesting.
Or so the relative media coverage would have you think.
Article you haven't seen: horrific hate crime attack
Nah. All he has to do is in his next show is pick someone in the audience out and say...
"You're a f***ing Republican! A right wing fascist. I can tell, you Neo-Con piece of sh*t by that cross on your neck. You and your whole religious kook family should be stoned to death for backing the invasion of Iraq!And did you lynch any Blacks on the way to the show tonight? I see you're wearing white, what is your sheet and hood in the cleaners?
Wait, I'm sorry - you're probably in the NRA too and have an UZI under your coat, you sick minded gun nut - please don't shoot me, you conservative b*st**d.
With a rant like that Network TV would be lining up to give him his own show.
