Rabbi Who Recorded Helen Thomas Now Suffers From His Own Viral Video Past
Edited on Wed Jun-09-10 06:21 AM by Mari333
http://www.mediaite.com/online/rabbi-who-recorded-helen-thomas-comments-is-now-suffering-from-his-own-viral-video-past/

Welcome to the second chapter of the story of Rabbi David Nesenoff. America first got to know this man as the guy who recorded Helen Thomas on his flip-cam saying what many believed to be offensive comments regarding Jews. But just just as a pendulum swings both ways, the nature of viral video swings back to reveal Mr. Nesenoff in what many will surely see as an offensive and stereotypical portrayal of Mexican-Americans in a hackneyed weatherman shtick.

1. I couldn't get through his first sentence
A really bad Cheech Marin imitation. As the wife of a Mexican-American, I'm offended.

2. Yeah, but Mexicans are our Arabs.
We all know it's okay to mock them, deport them, beat them, what-have-you...

:sarcasm:

5. Rabbi Nesenoff's caricature of Hispanics is appalling.
Will someone hold this obnoxious racist accountable?

11. If it was..
that was a weak attempt at a defense.

On another note; why are hacks like this allowed to mingle with the WH press?? Just wondering??

13. It's hard to defend someone who lives in a glass house and throws stones.

15. We had one member of the WHPC that would ask tough questions, 1!
the loss of one rabbi would have been more desirable than losing the last honest member of the WHPC.

shit slinging puke ass hole IMO!

17. What amazing talent, how the camera loves him
Surely a candidate for Helen's front row seat at the White House.
