The Ultimate Jew : Jackie Mason tells Obama about the '67' lines

This is so funny, if only it wasn't sadly true...

[Debbie Shafer]

Very True...I love Jackie Mason...haven't seen much of him for awhile.   The Muslims love to persecute the Jews anytime anywhere for whatever hateful and misguided reason in their minds, as long as it involves anti-semetism and an idiot mind out of control...thats ok with them.

Notwithstanding the fact that this schtick of Jackie Mason was cute, much of his humor is Jewish
self-hatred.  He portrays Jews as cheap and duplicitous in his acts, reinforcing negative stereotypes.  Everybody laughs; I don't.

Huh? What are you talking about. Mason has always been a proud Jew. He is an ordained Rabbi. Has always stood up for a strong Israel and against the liberal BS that many Jews espouse. Please demonstrate for us how he is 'cheap and duplicitous' according to you. What negative stereotype are you talking about? Being a proud Jew is not something 'cheap and duplicitous' nor a 'negative stereotype'.

I have never heard anyone say that Mason is a self-hating Jew but you.... His record of standing against liberalism goes way back...

Im really getting sick of all the negative BS that people throw around here without any proof. I know self-hating Jewish comedians like John Stewart who doesn't even come close to the GREAT Jackie Mason.

Here are some examples of how great Mason is, and how he is not a 'self-hater' as this LoneRanger fellow seems to suggest:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Mason

Born Yacov Moshe Maza in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, he grew up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City.

Mason graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the City College of New York. At age 25, he was ordained a rabbi (as his three brothers, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had been) in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.[3] Three years later he resigned to become a comedian.

Use of the term schvartze

In 1991, Mason was criticized by African-American organizations such as the NAACP when he called New York mayor David Dinkins "a fancy schvartze with a moustache."[7] He later apologized.

Mason referred to Barack Obama as a "schvartze" during a performance in New York City on March 12, 2009.

Statements on Arabs in Israel

Mason counseled Israeli leaders to consider the total expulsion of Palestinians from Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip.[8] Mason and Raoul Felder wrote, “We have paralyzed ourselves by our sickening fear of World Opinion, which is why we find it impossible to face one simple fact: We will never win this war unless we immediately threaten to drive every Arab out of Israel if the killing doesn't stop.”[8] They added:

“   We are brain-dead if we accept the idea that we have to guess which Arab is our next killer. We are not obligated to victimize ourselves by letting the Arabs play Russian roulette with Jewish lives. Israelis are constantly asked the same obnoxious question: 'How can you throw the Arabs out? where would they go?' The answer is, if they don't care whom they kill, why are we obligated to care where they go?[8]

Jews for Jesus lawsuit

On August 28, 2006, Mason filed a lawsuit against the group Jews for Jesus for using his likeness in a pamphlet.[9] His image was used next to the tag line "Jackie Mason...a Jew for Jesus!?" Mason said in court papers filed in New York:

“   While I have the utmost respect for people who practice the Christian faith, the fact is, as everyone knows, I am as Jewish as a Matzah ball or kosher salami.   ”

Mason has claimed that the group was using his image and fame to gain attention and converts. The group responded to the suit by saying, "Shame on him for getting so upset about this."[9] The lawsuit was settled in 2006, with Jews for Jesus apologizing.[10]

One Jerusalem

In January 2001, Mason co-founded the organization One Jerusalem in response to the Oslo peace agreement. Its stated cause is "Maintaining a united Jerusalem as the un-divided capital of Israel.”[11]

[LoneRanger]

for instance: He will ask in an audience how much do you charge for some service.  He will comment, "A Jew will never work for that little an amount". 

Who is the healthiest man in a health food store?  answer: the owner because he is a Jew and he goes in the back of the store and eats a pastrami sandwich and drinks a bottle of coke when nobody is looking. 

If you think that is funny, good, but I don't.
