Hi, meg:

I've never been much of a "Sienfeld" fan, but why bother ignoring a show that's already in large syndication?

I could understand Jesse's lament if "Seinfeld" was still in production with NBC, but re-runs scattered across countless cable, dish and local stations?

All those stations have to do if this "Boycott" is successful, which I sincerely doubt; is drop "Seinfeld" and pick up "That 70's Show", "Arrested Development" and/or "Malcolm In The Middle".

Jack.

Guess Kramer's check didn't clear.

Rush Limbaugh spoke about this a week ago. someone had brought up the fact that Jerry Seinfeld, who was on Letterman promoting the season 6 Seinfeld DVD, had a public long distance phone call to Richards in which Richards first apologized. The caller asked Rush to explain it.

Rush said that Seinfeld was trying to head off any boycotts or harm to the DVD sales. Rush can be so perceptive sometimes!

However, as it turned out now, Seinfled's trick didn't work. Follow the money! The DVD sales are enormous. It would've been better to buy Jesse another mistress.

What Richards said was disgusting, but Jesse Jackson does the same kind of thing and no one calls him on it. Jesse is just being a hypocrite.

Jackson epitomizes everything white racists seem to fear.

It would make a lot more sense to hit Michael Richards' current career by boycotting ... oh, never mind.

Look for the Seinfield CDs to become as hot an item as, Cabbage patch dolls, Tickle me Elmo's, etc., etc., were in their time.

Jesse HIJACKson reminds me of some Bob Seger lyrics:

"Shakedown, breakdown, takedown
Everybody wants into the crowded light
Breakdown, takedown, your busted
Shakedown, beakdown, honey
Just about the time you think that it's alright
Breakdown, takedown, your busted"

In no way am I defending Richards behavior or use of the ENWURD. It was racist, plain and simple. He was attempting to publicly humiliate, belittle, and ridicule Gloria's two "innocent gentleman victims".

What the mass media and most talking heads always ignore, was before his racist outburst, these two "gentleman" were also attempting to publicly humiliate, belittle, and ridicule Richards who was trying to do his job.

Funny how the media always conveniently edits out the part that the PC media call their "playful" interruptions, "playful" heckling and "playful" insults, before Richards retaliated. They did the same thing with the Rodney King Video so as to maximize black outrage and white guilt.

It's also interesting that all of our liberal Media armchair psychiatrists, and so called black leaders and the racist hypocrites, such as "Reverend" Jesse 'Hymietown' & ' I spit in white peoples food' Jackson, and "Reverend" Al 'Tawana Brawley' Sharpton (whom the media treat like they're pure as the driven snow, and never challenge them about their own racist past) always see Richards' racially inflammatory response, after being angered by his hecklers, as proof that deep down inside he is a racist, YET, totally ignore this also angry black male's racially inflammatory response of "Cr*cka *ss white boy!", as evidence that deep down inside this black male is a racist too!

I wonder what would happen to a white male if he went to let's say a black night club and "playfully" interrupted, heckled and insulted the black act on stage. One thing for sure, whatever is said or done to the white guy by some of the blacks in that night club, no matter how racist or violent, the national media will ignore it.

Why the double standard?

Because it is in the best interests of the liberal media (i.e. Democrat media, i.e. Democratic Party) and race hustlers, such as Jesse and Al, to keep blacks solidly as the victim class. That is why black racism, as in this incident, is always excused as "playful" or "innocent", or ignored entirely and forgotten. And the rare incident of open white racism, again as in this incident, is reported repeatedly for weeks, months, if not years after.

On Jesse Jackson, the proud papa of a child with a woman who was not his wife, and "leader" of the "Rainbow Coalition" that encompasses EVERY color of the Rainbow, just so long as it's BLACK. Who won the hearts of Jewish voters everywhere, when he referred to New York as "Hymie Town", during his failed Democratic presidential campaign.

Well, as he is outraged by Richards racist rant, this fellow racist hypocrite and former Black Panther leader admitted during an interview published in a November,1969 'Life' article that he used to enjoy spitting into the food of white customers, when he worked as a waiter in Greenville, South Carolina.

A July 1972 article in the New York Times stated, quote, "Jesse would spit into their soup or salad before he brought it to the table, and watch with enjoyment as whites ate gobs of saliva as though it were, say, oil and vinegar dressing."

When he was a teenager, he would often make degrading jokes of white people. A former classmate and friend, Horace Nash, said, quote, "He made up foolish jokes about whites, about how stupid they were. He used to turn things around, and he actually looked down on white people."

As far as I know this black racist Democrat has never apologized or been asked to do so.

But it appears he reserves his worst treatment for fellow blacks, who are Conservatives. When Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson, a black Conservative, attempted to speak at the Los Angeles Trade Bureau Forum, this man of the cloth claimed to have been physically attacked, and verbally assaulted by Jesse Jackson and his supporters with among other things, a Bill Clinton holy blessing: "Suck my d**k, you stupid n*gg*r. Shut the f**k up, and get your black *ss out of here, n*gg*r!"

Here we have a famous black "Reverend" and his black friends said to have repeatedly used the ENWURD, not in some endearing form of greeting by a fellow black (the reason so many say it's ok for blacks to use it) but as a racial insult meant to hurt and degrade, just like Richards did.

And yet this blatant racism received little media attention, no apology, and no outrage, particularly by those who now only criticize Richards.

Could Je$$e's racism be "deep-seated" against a show created by a "Hymies" and takes place in "Hymietown?"

/sarc (sort of)

I was trying to figure what bothered me about this whole affair. Finally got it. One man insulted what was it two men. That makes it three people. The whole unfortunate personal incident-and yes it was rather low and nasty-has been nationalized. Just a few people involved. Everything personal does not have to be collectivized or nationalized. All the egomaniacs should have let those big boys solve it themselves. Or better yet the insulted should have just forgotten about it like grown men. Most of us have been insulted and we manage to move on without dragging millions of people into it.

Jessie Jackson ranting about racism is hypocrisy at it's worst. He hates Jews...ask Jessie if he's been to Hymietown lately.

Now maybe some liberals, Sienfeld included might wake up to the hypocrisy of people like Jackson. Such people are not deserving of an apology.

Jesse Jackson Wants a Seinfeld Boycott for Kramer Tirade

With a little luck, maybe he can get the show cancelled!

What a maroon.

JJ is trying to get the maximum money out of this. He will milk "white guilt" for all he can get.
After "Kramer" grovels and crawls on his knees to kiss the feet of the great extortioner, JJ will feel that he (JJ) has risen several levels in the ranks of "civil rights leaders".

BTW, isn't it stupid to boycott episodes that were produced years ago?
