Another Aussie knows the truth about the jews....

We Australians seem to be hitting the mark pretty well recently.... We should challenge all nations to a darts competition!

This Steve Hughes is a former winner of Green Faces:

"Previous winners include
1997 - Winner: Steve Hughes (NSW)

Green Faces is a comedy competition conducted at The Canberra Irish Club every year. It is designed to cater for 'open mic' comics - those comics who have performed a few gigs that have up to ten minutes of material. Material must be original and is completely judged by the audience - voted show the only criteria being that the entrants CANNOT earn more than $150.00 average per week over one year from comedy."

He sounds like an ordinary guy, and is reflecting the growing public backlash against the jews.

This is one of the few articles I have ever seen that seems to be a "just the facts" account of the JJJ (Jews, Jews, Jews) getting on somebody's case.

The response of the board is completely off the subject. The correct response is "Groups who insist on special privileges like the Jews always piss other people off."

Board of Deputies of British Jews!!! What the hell is that? Sounds fascist.

Still, it has one too many quotes in support of the Jews.

I like the fact that Hughes didn't whine, cry and apologize, he just stated his defense matter-of-factly. I'm betting he told the jews hassling him to go to hell, which is precisely why they'll leave him alone from here on in. And he doesn't even have $800 Million.

When Hughes suggested that children should be taught to play Nazis and Jews instead of cowboys and indians, an audience member shouted: &#8220]

 

Where is their sense of humor. Sheesh, you'd a thunk the Holocaust actually happened the way these little pipsqueaks are always so touchy about it.

Do Jews have flashbacks when they walk past their ovens?

Silly Jews, THE Holocaust isn't for real.

“I would argue that [Hughes’s suggestion that Jews are oversensitive about racism] is rung one on the ladder to anti-Semitism.”

On which rung are they deported in cattle cars?

"Holocaust joke" comedians hit back at critics
By Mike Collett-White

LONDON (Reuters) - Two stand-up comics accused of making light of the Holocaust at the Edinburgh Fringe festival hit back at their critics on Tuesday, igniting a debate about where, if anywhere, to draw the line in comedy.

The famously irreverent Fringe is renowned for over-the-top humour, and this year religion has been a popular target of ridicule in a trend welcomed by commentators arguing for freedom of speech over religious sensitivity.

But Jamie Glassman, a Jewish comedy writer who has worked on the often outrageous "Da Ali G Show", said at least two comedians had gone too far and reflected broader anti-Jewish sentiment at the festival which he called "shocking".

"Stand-up comedy is as good a prism as any through which to look at the changing attitudes in our society," Glassman wrote in the Times newspaper on Tuesday.

"If my past few days are anything to go by then it is becoming increasingly acceptable to hate the Jews. Again."

One Edinburgh comedian singled out in the article was Reginald D. Hunter, an African-American with a show called "Pride and Prejudice and Niggas".

At one point Hunter says he should go to Austria, where it is illegal to deny the Holocaust, get arrested for saying Germany's genocide against Jews did not happen, and tell the judge he was talking about the Rwandan holocaust all along.

"The joke isn't about the Jews, it is about freedom of thought and freedom of expression," Hunter told Reuters.

He referred to the Holocaust as "one of those things considered to be off-limits; that's what I'm poking fun at.

"There have been loads of holocausts. Jews have the honour of having their Holocaust known as the Holocaust and that's fine. That's the way the world works."

Hunter said he found it "amazing" Glassman could extract anti-Semitism from his act.

Also criticised was Australian Steve Hughes, whose show "Storm" includes a gag that indirectly equates playing cowboys and Indians to playing Nazis and Jews.

Glassman recounted how at the show he attended audience members shouted "Throw them in the oven" in response to the joke, but Hughes defended his routine and said his remarks were taken out of context. He said the actual joke was:

"I grew up playing cowboys and Indians, which as an adult I can see is very strange; that you market the genocide of an indigenous people as a game for kids.

"Australians are far from perfect - I've never played Cops and Aboriginals, and you wouldn't play Nazis and Jews!"

Hughes added that he was not responsible for what hecklers shouted during his act.

But he did apologise for describing Richard Perle, formerly chairman of the Defence Policy Board Advisory Committee under George W. Bush's administration, as "that fucking Jew".

His spokesman said the phrase was made "off the cuff" and Hughes regretted using it.

Do comics hate Jews?
Anti-semitic row hits Edinburgh

A major row has broken out over claims an anti-semitic sentiment is rife among comedians at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Jewish writer Jamie Glassman, who worked on the Ali G show, says after spending a few days at the festival ‘it is becoming increasingly acceptable to hate the Jews. Again’.

He took particular issue with Australian comedian Steve Hughes who, he said: ‘Did little to hide his Jew-hatred.’

In an article in today’s Times, Glassman quotes Hughes as joking that kids should play Nazis and Jews, which was greeted with one audience member saying: ‘Throw them in the oven.’

Hughes also said: ‘I want to bash Condoleezza Rice’s brain to bits and kill that f****** Jew Richard Perle.’

Glassman said: ‘For me, Hughes represents a growing trend among left-thinking people to accept as dogma that those on the Left should hate Bush, Blair, American imperialism, Israel and, while we’re at it, the Jews.’

Hughes said Glassman had got the wrong end of the stick about his joke, which, in full, goes: ‘I grew up playing Cowboys and Indians - which as an adult; I can see is very strange; that you market the genocide of an indigenous people as a game for kids. Australians are far from perfect - I've never played Cops and Aboriginals, and you wouldn’t play Nazis and Jews!’

The comic said: ‘What I am actually saying is that it is preposterous to trivialise or make human suffering into a game. The whole message of the show is how the obscenity of war affects every human being on earth. I don't base the idea of human condition on race, religion, colour or creed.

‘Secondly, I’d like to point out that the hecklers in my audience are not necessarily a reflection of my beliefs and opinions. I did not actually hear the heckle that has been quoted and if I had, I would have stamped on it immediately. I do not tolerate ignorance.’

Glassman also took issue with a joke from Reginald D Hunter, about the fact it is illegal to deny the Holocaust in Austria.

‘I’ve a good mind to go to Austria, stand in the street and say the Holocaust didn’t happen,’ Hunter says – only to wind up in court and tell the judge he was talking about the Rwandan holocaust.

Glassman says: ‘Of all the possible targets, of all the things he might wish to say, his complaint is that he is not permitted to parrot the greatest anti-Semitic slur of the last hundred years — that the Holocaust never happened.’

Hunter’s spokesman Paul Sullivan told the Press Association: ‘He's not making anti-Jewish remarks, all he's saying is it's very difficult to criticise Jewish people in this world at the moment. He writes about things he believes in. We should be able to talk about most things.’

Doug Stanhope also has material in his Edinburgh show about Jews, even secular ones, inserting their religion into everything they do, although Glassman did not quote this. ‘You can hate them for the same reason you hate the KKK,’ he says. ‘They believe they’re the chosen people

Glassman is no stranger to rows about anti-semitism, as Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen’s Kazakhstani journalist who featured on The Ali G Show, has also been accused of such prejudice.

'Holocaust gags' comedian not sorry
Aug 15 2006

A comedian has refused to apologise for making "Holocaust jokes" in his show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Reginald D Hunter was criticised by writer Jamie Glassman - one of the writers behind The Ali G Show - over remarks in his performances.

In an article in The Times, Glassman, himself a Jew, said: "I've seen two comics so far who have been happy to amuse their crowds with Holocaust gags."

Edinburgh Festival comedian unrepentant over 'Holocaust gags'

A comedian today refused to apologise for making "Holocaust gags" in his show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Reginald D Hunter was criticised by writer Jamie Glassman - one of the writers behind The Ali G Show - over remarks in his performances.

In an article in The Times, Glassman, himself a Jew, said: "I've seen two comics so far who have been happy to amuse their crowds with Holocaust gags."

He said Hunter had told his audience he wanted to go to Austria, where it is illegal to deny the Holocaust, and say it did not happen so he could get arrested.

Glassman said the comic then went on to say he would tell the judge he was talking about the holocaust in Rwanda rather than the killings carried out by the Nazis.

Glassman also referred to remarks made by Australian comedian Steve Hughes, who when talking about Richard Perle - an adviser to US President George Bush - said he wanted to "kill that f****** Jew Richard Perle".

Glassman also said Hughes suggested children should be taught to play Nazis and Jews instead of cowboys and Indians - prompting one member of the audience to shout "Throw them in the oven".

In his article, Glassman accepts that the question of what material will be acceptable for a comedian is a complex one.

He said: "Comedians should certainly be allowed to say anything about anything. In fact it is their role and duty to be breaking taboos where they need to be broken.

"But comics do have an obligation to think about whom they might be offending with their material and whether or not those who say they are offended are right to be."

Paul Sullivan, publicist for Reginald D Hunter, insisted his client's comments, made in his show Pride and Prejudice and Niggas, were not anti-Semitic.

Mr Sullivan said: "He's not making anti-Jewish remarks, all he's saying is it's very difficult to criticise Jewish people in this world at the moment."

He added: "He wouldn't be doing the material if he was apologising for it.

"Reg just sees it as material for his show, he writes about things he believes in, I don't think he ever does anything for controversy's sake."

Mr Sullivan said the comedian believed it was a freedom of speech issue, adding: "We should be able to talk about most things."

Dr Kenneth Collins, the vice-chair of the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities, said: "There's a lot of history of anti-Semitism in the form of humour, from the Nazi period to the present day."

And he warned: "People should take care when using language that it doesn't cause any hurt to any section of the community."

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0322090/

The intent of the "Throw the Jew Down the Well" bit, however funny it may actually be, was certainly to poke fun at and criticise the "over the top" anti-jew sentiment in Kazakhstan, and Southwest Asia generally.

What makes it ironic for jews is that they seem to make laughter ALWAYS at the expense of whites everywhere (that is if they aren't passing laws to oppress them).

Whether it is about our history, accomplishements, spiritual beliefs, culture or whatever, jews always seem to be natural at mocking others. But when the shoe is on the other foot, they cry "anti-semitism".

One problem - these jokes of his are not one bit funny. Neither was the Throw the Jews down the well thing funny.

I think the Jews are sensitive to that clever saying - "The most powerful group is the one that people only talk about in whispers" (or however it goes). Whenever Jews are screaming in pain, be suspicious it is just a publicity stunt, or a cover up for their own crimes. They probably stage little show business events to make it appear they are being picked on. Most people who read that article will probably say "Oh, it's horrible to pick on the poor, suffering Jews."

I saw some old Judeo-fart on Fox News today saying what sounded like "You can say anything about the Jews, but nobody can pick on the Muslims". I only caught the end of it, but I think that's what he said, and of course, that's totally the reverse of the true situation.
