Michael Richards' Trial Balloon?

In the 20’s and 30’s, it was common for comedians to make fun of the Jews. Is this in the same vein? Thoughts?

What in the name of sweet, sweaty fuck are you on about now?

This is, in some way, the liberal’s fault, right?

Jesus hopped-up Christ in a sidecar, take your fucking medication.

In Germany. Forgot to include that. Since we’re following a path similar to Weimar, it occured to me that Mr. Richards’ rant is a symptom of rascism in the USA, much like the anti-semitism in Germany (though that was much more blatant).

Think: analogy, Harris. Its an analogy.

It’s not an analogy: it’s more of your lunatic drivel that maks no sense and will, somehow, come back around to “Ayn Rand was right,” and, “Nancy Pelosi is the devil.”

How exactly are we like the Weimar Republic. Please provide specific examples.

Also, please note that the country was, well, sickened by Richards’ toxic rant, not spurred on towards bruning the Rechstag and blaming it on the blacks.

Third…trial balloon? As if someone told Kramer to start screaming “nigger” into a microphone?

Gosh, I wonder why no one takes you seriously.

Actor-comedian Michael Richards…best known as Kramer from the TV show “Seinfeld”…is in the hot seat over a tirade at a Los Angeles comedy club.

“Throw his a-- out. he’s a n-r, he’s a n-r, he’s a n-r, he’s a n-r. look, there’s a n-r!” Richards said during his act at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles Friday night. “All right you see, this shocks you this shocks you to see what’s buried beneath you stupid mother f-ers,” Richards said.

He completely lost control after a group of black audience members were disruptive and told him he wasn’t funny.

“Shut up, 50 years ago you would’ve been hanging upside down with a f-ing fork up your a–,” he said.

WHY did he do it, Harris? Why did Mel Gibson spout his anti-semitism?

We are going down a well-traveled path. Weimar was very similar, with a lot of undertone hatred for minorities. I’m surprised you’re that ignorant on the ominous parallels between us and Weimar. Its actually a pretty popular theme, alongside the comparisons with ancient Rome.

Spend your energy reading and less on hate-speech.

Oh yeah, he lost it, I wonder what kind of drugs he’s on.

What the fuck are you talking about? Not to say racism is dead, but the reason Richards’ outburst is so notable is because it flies in the face of one of our society’s most orthodox beliefs. How does two actors flipping out and showing their submerged racism reveal anything about our broader societal norms, much less show that we’re similar to Weimar Germany?

You have NO point yet again. As fucking always. But, of course, like the troll you are…you insist everyone else is full of “hate” for your “views”

Please answer ANY of the questions in my post. HOW is the America in 2006 like the Weimar Republic? If this was a “trial balloon,” who was behind it?

And, finally, tell us all again how the liberals are responsible for all of this.

Or you could just keep posting scabrous bulshit about Martin Luther King and quoting Kramer’s insanity.

Hmmm…

Hmmm…Germany lost a war, the USA lost a war. Weimar is noted for its lack of morals. The USA is noted for its lack of morals. Drug use and alcohol use increases in both. The family unit begins to break down in each. The political parties degenerate into ho-hum meaningless debate societies, where pressure groups dominate and attempt to use the government to clobber each other, again in each. Social spending shoots up in each, with Weimar borrowing mostly from the USA, the USA now borrowing from everyone.

Enough, Harris?

Who do YOU think was behind this trial balloon, Harris? Why does rascism and anti-semitism now come boldly to the forefront? You guys attach all kinds of conspiracies to Bush and company; could someone be trying to increase racial hatred in this country? Noooo…no one would ever think of that.

If it gives you comfort to call me a troll for trying to defend the people of your race, to trying to anticipate a possible return to blatant racism in this country, then so be it.

Now, thump your chest and say, “We don’t need NO help from NO trollee-ass white boy!”, like the Neanderthal you are.

Ah well…you can walk off to the camps anytime. No one will miss you, I’m sure…

Nuthunter,

Because I am feeling generous due to your obviously lacking mental state, I’ll drop you a clue. The racism in the USA has always been present.

However, over time, systematic racism has dwindled. Thank goodness.

The fact you think this might be some type of “move” towards racism when it has always been present and previously in very visible, severe and damaging ways, once again shows you to be the clueless nut that you are.

Congrats!

Favorite phrase of Germans in 1932: “Hitler can never be Chancellor.” Enjoy your ignorance, boys.

I try to point out the return to blatant racism, and the Bobsie Twins flame me. Of course, Vacuum doesn’t care, he’s a canuck. Harris doesn’t really care because of…well, because he’s Harris.

Case closed.

Did you even manage to read my on-topic reply to this nonsense?

Kramer is a racist, so are lots of people. The point here is what?

I agree. There assholes for sure.

Whats your point?

Who are you blaming this on?

I honestly can’t tell.

Just saw Richards on the Letterman show. He was with Sienfeld. Richards apologized and it seemed sincere. COmedians are wacky to begin with. I think he was going for some sort of weird laugh and it backfired, badly.
