disgusting

[Connie_Corleone]

1. Thanks for the information

:eyes:

[ErinBerin84]

2. Do you want to give a recap?

Fox makes me break out in hives.

[catcher]

5. Well basically

after bashing Hilary for a few minutes, he said that Obama was basically some joe who decided to run for president out of the blue, a that to become a doorman you at least needed a high school diploma. He then asserted that Obama was not that popular based on the applause his name garnered when mentioned at Mason's shows, and he insinuated that even the 15% black audience in his shows didn't like Obama. Then he made the correlation that it was prejudiced for 80% of blacks to vote for Obama, and some other nonsense.

[Hailtothechimp]

8. And his audiences are a reliable cross section of America

I think he needs to get over himself if he believes this.

[rucky]

10. now we know how folks in the Catskills will vote

:shrug:

[ErinBerin84]

9. thanks

Sometimes I try to wander into the "enemy den" and watch Fox, but I just can't take it.


Wow, trying to gage popularity based on applause? That's pretty fucking desperate. I remember watching Outfoxed and they showed a British economist on Fox saying "I had previously said that the economy was UP at the thought of a Kerry presidency. Now I think that the economy is DIPPING because he is up in the polls, and they are worried about the affect a Kerry presidency could have on the economy!" or something. Um, yes. The shit economy has nothing to do with Bush.

17. Jackie Mason is a known, nearly avowed RACIST - who is coddled by the media.

[Spirochete]

26. So, he mentions Obama's name at his shows

and 4 out of the 6 people don't applaud. I guess if Jackie's audience doesn't like you, you might as well fold it up. Sheesh. I didn't even know that idiot was even still performing.

[Adelante]

3. Welcome to DU, catcher

:hi:

What are you talking about?

[mattclearing]

6. LOL n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Let me guess. He was not impressed with Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

And he thinks his opinion matters b/c he used to be a rabbi.

[catcher]

7. haha exactly

He suggested that the reason Obama lost by 9 points in Pennsylvania was because of Wright, (not mentioning the fact that Obama lost Ohio by 10 points before Wright). Then he argued why it was unfair that whites couldn't use the n-word, ad naseum. Earlier he mocked Hillary's IWR vote.

[no_hypocrisy]

12. Welcome to DU.

Mason has a history of insulting black political leaders.

He called the former mayor of NYC (David Dinkins) a "fancy schvartze with a moustache".

[Red Zelda]

11. Who?

Does anyone listen to this unfunny fat fuck? Oh, yeah, Faux does.

[Clovis Sangrail]

13. wouldn't that guy be like 107 years old by now?

I thought he died sometime in the 80's

:shrug:

[Tesha]

15. He did, but like the Clinton campaign, he hasn't quite gotten the word yet. (NT)

[grantcart]

19. DUzy

[Tesha]

23. Thanks! (NT)

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. What would you expect from watching that silly network?

[undeterred]

16. He's looking for a laugh from stupid people.

That's his job.

[SoCalDem]

18. He's still alive?

:rofl:

[hill_win_2008]

20. Mason v. Wright

I didn't see the appearance by Jackie Mason, but I find it funny that many call him out for being a racist, but are offended because they can't see that Wright is a racist.

Let's just put this out there: they are both racist bastards. How's that?

[Ron Green]

22. No, there's a definite difference. I don't think you'll agree or understand, but they're not

"both racist bastards."

[Barack_America]

21. Good God, next they're going to dig up the Gipper!

Is he still on the rolls in California?

[Beregond2]

24. Jackie Mason

is a bigotted slimebag. His appeal has always escaped me.

[backscatter712]

25. Why does anyone watch FAUX Noise anymore?

I refuse to watch them under any circumstances.

They broadcast nothing but fascist propaganda.

[DefenseLawyer]

27. Did anyone ask him to reject and denounce "Caddyshack II"?

Awful. Truly awful.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

28. He was sort of funny in The Jerk, twenty-nine years ago

Other than that, I don't understand how he is at all relevant to anything these days.

[truebrit71]

29. Jackie Mason is the jewish racist right?

If I'm thinking of the right guy then he's a real shitbag...
