Zeev, first of all, Chaim did not say self-hating Jews or self-hating Americans. He said "leftwing Jews" and "leftwing Americans". THAT is too hot for radio? It's ridiculous.
Before Chaim came on, Mancow and his female cohost did a comedy skit with jokes about gang raping women. They made gang rape of women a joke.
But mentioning that "leftwing Jews" don't support Israel just as "leftwing Americans" don't support America is too hot for talk radio? You have to be kidding. I hear much more controversial things than that on the radio all the time.
If Chaim is going to start self-censoring everything he stands for, then what's the point of our doing all of this?
Mancow did NOT object to anything Chaim said, and was actually agreeing with Chaim. In fact, Mancow said that he intended to put Chaim on hold for the half hour break until some jerk in the studio obviously told Mancow that he thought Chaim went too far.
Mancow may be hypersensitive because his program was pulled off the air in his home town of Chicago.
Whatever.
Remember that if not for the fact that Chaim spoke aggressively on the videos that Mancow's staff saw on YouTube, Chaim would never have been invited on to begin with. It was Chaim's aggressive speaking style that caught the staff's attention.
We just have to keep doing what we are doing and hope that the message gets out.
Ok, yeah I thought that he said self-hating but I just listened to it again and you're right, he simply said left-wing Jews and pointed out that they don't necessarily support Israel. Maybe that was too controversial because there are probably left-wing Jews listening to the show who would object and point out that their version of "supporting Israel" proves that they are pro-Israel even though in actuality, they aren't really supporting Israel.
There are also lots of left-wing Americans who would strongly object to someone saying that they don't support America, because in their eyes, they are supporting true American values.
So, the comment would most likely offend left-wing Jews (70% of American Jews) and left wing Americans (probably 40% of Americans) because Chaim suggested that they don't really support Israel or America.
It's my opinion that yes, that could be seen as too hot for radio. I've never heard anyone in the mainstream media say that the majority of American Jews don't actually support Israel. For a hypersensitive show that could be seen as a controversial point of view even though it's a correct one.
I'm sure Mancow is hypersensitive about his show, I'm just saying that for big talk radio programs it probably would make more sense to stick to the issue of Hillary Clinton in that sort of situation.
That woman's "comedy bit" before Chaim came on was atrocious, but we all know that sick and perverted jokes about gang rape are acceptable on the mainstream media but speaking the truth in a politically correct way isn't.
