(This was prompted by Alter's column at http://www.msnbc.com/news/814574.asp which states, among other things, that "Divestment may be only a fall fad on college campuses, but it's political nitroglycerin." One of these days I am going to collect all my crank letters to the liberal muck-a-mucks of the world--and their replies--and try to get it published as "Crank Letters from a Marxist Upstart".)
To: "'Louis Proyect'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Anti-Semitism good points, except the suck up part (I guess you didn't hear me call him an "easy lay" last week after he turned tail and began kissing up to jack welch)...i'm jewish and i don't like his occasional comments about jews. i'm not black but i don't like his skits (he doesn't make racist comments himself) about blacks. if i was on the show when he made one of those comments, i would call him on it. but on balance, it doesn't seem worth a boycott, or suddenly going on the attack over something he might have broadcast weeks earlier. he makes fun of everyone--southerners, italians etc. it is a politically incorrect comedy show (often quite funny), intermittently informative (you obviously listen), and getting too bent out of shape doesn't seem to me to be worth the time. thanks for writing... -----Original Message----- From: Louis Proyect [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 1:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Anti-Semitism It doesn't take a lot of guts to attack campus activists. Let's see you take Don Imus to task the next time you're on his show. Challenge his use of the epithet "penis-nose" for some Jew he doesn't like. While you're at it, you suck-up, ask him why all the black politicians he parodies sound like Amos n' Andy. Louis Proyect www.marxmail.org
