How Brett Favre was tricked into recording an anti-Semitic video
SB Nation ^ | 12/4/18 | James Dator

Posted on 12/04/2018 4:37:07 PM PST by Blue House Sue

Brett Favre apologized over the weekend after it was revealed that he was tricked into recording an anti-Semitic video for an organization claiming to represent veterans. The “Handsome Truth” and the “Goyim Defense League”, known anti-Semitic groups, paid Favre $500 to read a script that included coded language and dog whistle messaging, prompting Favre to speak out when it became clear he was tricked.

The groups used “Cameo”, an app that allows users to pay celebrities to record short video messages. Favre was paid to read the message which was intentionally written not to raise Favre’s suspicions but still appeal to members inside those anti-Semitic groups.

“But he deserves a reprieve on this one.”

Why?

It’s the equivalent of working a sports memorabilia show at a Holiday Inn on the outskirts of Fargo in January.

Brett Favre net worth: $100 million. Must be tough sledding in Louisiana.

You would think that $100 million would go a bit further in Kiln, Mississippi.

Hmmm. Looks pretty inocuouse.

““Brett Favre here with a shoutout to the Handsome Truth and the GDL boys. You guys are patriots in my eyes. So keep waking them up and don’t let the small get you down. Keep fighting, too, and don’t ever forget the USS Liberty and the men and women who died on that day. God bless and take care.””

The Nazis are still trying to use that incident from 40 years ago to push their putrid agenda?

Hmm, what groups use th3 term ‘woke’...

“The term “waking up” is used by anti-Semitic, men’s rights, and right-wing extremist groups to espouse red-pill ideology. ”

Kind of a huge tar brush they be using.

Men’s rights groups...

What does that have to do with the other two groups?!? Sounds like the author has a personal problem.

Let’s see, who else uses ‘woke’..

Oh, right...

“Woke is a political term of African American origin that refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from the African American Vernacular English expression “stay woke”, whose grammatical aspect refers to a continuing awareness of these issues. Wikipedia”
