Thanks for the lecture. If you believe in the freedom that our country bestows, Cohen et al want to demean us "expose our prejudice."
I really detest being lumped in with everyone else. Isn't that stereotyping and bigotry?
Oh, I forgot. He is a socialist. Its therefore OK to be bigoted and stereotype everyone - because its in "a good cause."
That is not what America is about. And for that reason, Borat is a success.
Free speech forever, for those of us supporting your sentiments. Plus the Orwellian overtones accompanying his performance. "What! how dare anyone NOT find this man funny? " Ergo, we find him funny, so better had you.
S'funny, Some people found Abbott and Costello absolutely hilarious. Some do not. Does anyone get mad, just because "Haaaay Yaaabott", does not seem funny? I still laugh at the old black and white classics. My favourite is "Buck Privates". Also renamed "The Rookies" for British consumption.
Recently this writer posted a story on one of America's finest and most respected Conservative Internet forums - FreeRepublic. Thousands of fine minds, caring Christian and Jewish souls who support democracy, free speech and Israel debate there on a daily basis. But one remark which was recently posted openly to me stands out in my mind: "I value the lives of American servicemen much more than innocent Israelis who die from terrorism."
Some Freepers inadvertantly expose themselves as the true bigots they really are.....
