  1. No, Sam. In this case I think you're wrong. I am no fan of Meghan McCain's, she's irritating and far too privileged and not but she does have a point. Speaking as another Jewish person, someone who has studied their history and the Holocaust, we know that the use of hypnotized in this context is suspect and should never have been said. I'm not sure if Ilhan Omar is actively anti-Semitic, she does have a history of saying things that suggest it. The right wing hypocrisy notwithstanding it's important to acknowledge that there are serious issues with the things that Omar has said. Maybe it was a coincidence that she used a term that mirrors things used against Jews at the time of the Holocaust, but in the absence of anything additional I'm not going to give her the benefit of the doubt. I am going to reserve judgment while fighting my instinct to find her distasteful. She said some things that by any reasonable standard were objectionable and potentially dangerous, and these were the things for public consumption. Like you, I support Israel although not the right wing government. Anti-Semitism is on the rise for that reason it's important to be very careful, there are plenty of people who confuse Jew and Israeli and are happy to have an excuse to exercise their not so latent anti-semitism. I would really like it if the other folks who present this with Sam would stop the background cackling. You want to make fun of people who are ridiculous, that's one thing but the background laughter makes you seem like a bunch of teens snickering at someone. It's unappealing and distasteful. Overt mockery should be used sparingly.

  2. Wait what? Did Brooks just say that Jewish girls are whiny and that it's true, and that's okay? I was watching Sam's face and he didn't seem too comfortable with that. This is what we mean when anti-Semitism is discussed, the latent form of it seems to live in pretty much everyone and it doesn't take much to have it come out. A similar joke about a different group would never fly, you could never make a joke about some alleged negative quality that black or Arab or Hispanic women are supposed to have. I find this guy so very distasteful. I'm glad he has his own show now maybe he will show up here less. He adds nothing and detracts significantly from the show.
