Jackie Mason takes on Sarah Silverman and her video for The Great Shlep

Sarah Silverman is one odd duck.

Extremely odd.

[dennisw]

I haven’t seen Sarah Silverman much but what I have seen is just foul mouthed stupidity. Not funny to me at all especially such cursing from a woman. From guys it can be funny.

She is an embarrassment to Jews. This Wall Street mess has lots of Jewish players. This feeds the stereotype of Jewish money men controlling America. Bernanke is Jewish. Thankfully Paulson is not and he is more visible

[dennisw]

She is obscene not odd.

[blasater1960]

Silverman is a disaster for the Jewish people. She is filthy-vile and reinforces negative perceptions that ALL jews are like that.

[Dagnabitt]

My $.02:

I saw her only once - doing a bit on some televised Amnesty International special (on BBC?). The rest of the A.I. show, as expected, sucked (sanctimonious drivel). Silverman, however, was awesome - very funny and very un-PC.

Mason could have hit a lot harder at Silverman and her idiocy. “Yenta” is kind of a benign word to use in describing her. “Slut” would be more accurate.

[justiceseeker93]

She is an embarrassment to Jews.

Especially when she abuses her celebrity status to urge young Jews to travel to Florida to convince Grandma and Grandpa to vote for an antisemitic, anti-American, pro-Islamist "Messiah" whose rise to the presidency would mean the end of the American republic as we know it and possibly the end of Israel. Plus, her consistent use of obscenities doesn't endear her to many listeners, Jewish or not.

This Wall Street mess has lots of Jewish players. This feeds the stereotype of Jewish money men controlling America.

All the more reason why we can't afford an antisemitic president like "Osama" Obama who will embellish such sterotypes as he pushes for government control over the entire economy.

[dennisw]

Actually her potty mouth gives a much worse image to Jews and especially Jewish women

[Clemenza]

Women were more beautiful BEFORE gyms were invented. Yuppie “toning” is not sexy, neither is being morbidly obese.

[aNYCguy]

Not funny to me at all especially such cursing from a woman.

Thanks for putting the Silverman-haters' objections out in the open.

[Rastus]

A fourteen year old boy? I usually see a phrase like that in association with flatchested women, which is far from the case with Silverman. If you mean something else, never mind.

Beyond that, I’ve only read a little about her. Enough to not think too highly of her.

[Rastus]

I love these “I’m making fun of racism” comics who use that rationale as an exscuse to make a career out of racist jokes.

That's how I see All in the Family. When Archie says something like, "Once the blacks move in, the watermelon seeds will start flying out the windas," and the audience laughs, I have a hard time believing that they are "laughing at the fact that someone could be as stupid as Archie," like the defenders say.
