Jackie Mason (star of "Caddyshack II") lambastes "UCLA types"
On the December 2 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly featured comedian Jackie Mason as a guest to discuss the "war on Christmas." Mason said: "I'm telling you that the people who are making these complaints represent nobody but themselves. UCLA types, anti-religionists, secularists is what you talk about all the time. They're people who have a guilty conscience about anything they might do that's dirty or off-color or vulgar or obscene."

Mason was presumably referring to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and not the University of California-Los Angeles.

Mason continued: "You can't stop a rap singer from telling people to kill every Jew in the world, every gentile, every short person, every homosexual, everybody." Then he declared: "The Ku Klux Klan is allowed to march and they're allowed to holler 'Ku Klux Klan,' but God forbid you had a Christmas tree in front of it. They wouldn't be allowed. You can call the Ku Klux Klan, but if they said 'Merry Christmas,' they'd be wiped out."

I presume this rubbish sounded even funnier with Mason's trademark delivery!

1. Perhaps a more important question is whether that graphic

5. That's why included "Caddyshack II" in the subject
Undoubtedly one of the worst sequels ever made.

12. All time worst movie
and yes I realize that the first one was no cinematic classic really just a really funny movie-great guy movie.

Caddyshack II was beyond horrible whether it was a sequel and compared to the original or not.

8. Jackie Mason fired his opening act because he was Palestinian-American
Edited on Mon Dec-05-05 11:17 PM by jim3775
From a CNN transcript:

You probably haven't seen or heard Ray Hunani (ph) perform. The 49-year old Vietnam War veteran and former reporter started a career less than a year ago as stand up comedy. Last night in Chicago, Hunani (ph) was scheduled to lead the opening act for Jewish comedian Jackie Mason. The club called a couple of hours before the show and told them Hunani's (ph) act had been canceled.

Our quote of the day goes to Jackie Mason's manager, Joe Rosenfeld (ph), who had this to say about Hunani (ph) to the Associated Press. Quote, "It's not exactly like he's an Arab- American. This guy is Palestinian. Jackie does not feel comfortable having a Palestinian open for him."

10. Jackie Mason. . .this is the man that claimed Nixon has the most VD in the
world. . .I mean after you're done fucking 250 million people, you're bound to pickup one or two.

Now, he's shilling for the Fundies. You haven't done anything funny since the 1970s, you craptacularly unfunny piece of shyte!

I can do your damn accent and I'm funnier doing it.
