He’s way, waaaaaay overboard by the end here. A little partisan outrage is good, but this reaches netroots-level demonization and beyond. Then again, the new leader of the American center did remind us recently that unhinged speech is a part of democracy. Respect the teachings of your moral betters, wingnuts.

His one-liner about the Democrats’ idea of a two-party system is off, too. They’re one-party all the way. Right, guys?

My favorite line: “there’s nobody lower than the Democrat Party Pigs on this Earth”

Tell us how you really feel Jackie!

TheBigOldDog on August 17, 2007 at 1:57 PM

That was GREAT!!!! Go Jackie!

Thoroughly enjoyed it…

gberez on August 17, 2007 at 1:59 PM

Jackie!

Well after Bush is gone, and should (horror of horrors) a Dem become President (Hillary?!) - they’ll be back to the joooos!

Agrippa2k on August 17, 2007 at 2:01 PM

Jackie has come back up in the world since Steve Martin’s “The Jerk”. I’ve seen a few of these vblogs from Jackie now, and God Bless him.

Doug on August 17, 2007 at 2:03 PM

when our best public speaker is jackie mason; we have issues, don’t we?

lorien1973 on August 17, 2007 at 2:04 PM

God bless you Jackie. Yeah, he went a little overboard but so what? He was truthful. Nice to hear from a sane entertainer once in a while.

Guardian on August 17, 2007 at 2:04 PM

A lot of truth there; perhaps a little over the top.

MarkB on August 17, 2007 at 2:12 PM

He’s 100% correct.

amerpundit on August 17, 2007 at 2:13 PM

when our best public speaker is jackie mason; we have issues, don’t we?

lorien1973 on August 17, 2007 at 2:04 PM

I know I do. After expressing concerns about his hysterics before, I was asked to call in to his radio show to take him to task for some extreme comments, by whom I presume, was one of his producers. Unfortunately I was out of town (at an awesome 3 day rock concert in Montana). If your out there, and the offer still stands, let me know…

taterblade on August 17, 2007 at 2:17 PM

Mason is right when he says the country is tired of all the hate and venom from the left.

volsense on August 17, 2007 at 2:18 PM

(laughing)…gotta love that Jackie…can’t wait for mrs billy clinton’s response…

areseaoh on August 17, 2007 at 2:24 PM

RIGHT ON JACKIE !!!!!

oldelpasoan on August 17, 2007 at 2:33 PM

“Waaaaay overboard” Allah? You must be a very gentle soul, because I find this to be well within the limits of a good rant.
GO JACKIE!!!

RMR on August 17, 2007 at 2:34 PM

“Waaaaay overboard” Allah? You must be a very gentle soul, because I find this to be well within the limits of a good rant.

There’s nobody lower than the Democrats? Not even jihadists, huh?

Allahpundit on August 17, 2007 at 2:35 PM

Hurts so good!!

captivated_dem on August 17, 2007 at 2:37 PM

Allah….it was a rant. Lighten up on RMR!

rant
–verb (used without object)
1. to speak or declaim extravagantly or violently; talk in a wild or vehement way

extravagantly

exceeding the bounds of reason, as actions, demands, opinions, or passions.

I don’t think it was overboard..IMAO

ChefJeff on August 17, 2007 at 2:50 PM

I agree with how Jackie feels about Hillary Clinton:

” Getting to the point! If Hillary really did not know what was going on, while everybody else at the White House, from the fellow at the gate, to the stewards, to the Secret Service, to the porters, etc., knew that the girls were standing in line outside the Oval Office taking a number and waiting for their turn, she does not have enough brains to be President. How would she be able to figure out what was going on in the rest of the world, when she could not figure out what was happening downstairs in her own home.”

PattyAnn on August 17, 2007 at 2:50 PM

“Republicans have the right to exist but not to win” What’s off about that assessment of the Democrats’ idea of a two-party system? I figure their idea of a two-party system is:

1. my way
2. highway

Overboard? Demonization? I dunno. He just turning the opposition’s words against them. He’s right that Carville never got treated like Rove, and his boss was…well, what Jackie said.

Real question for you, AllahPundit: When we watch a YouTube video here at Hot Air, does it register on the view count over at YouTube?

RushBaby on August 17, 2007 at 3:14 PM

Sounds like the truth. Hope he keeps it up. I respect people that tell the truth and don’t succumb to political correctness.

Helloyawl on August 17, 2007 at 3:17 PM

There’s nobody lower than the Democrats? Not even jihadists, huh?

Allahpundit on August 17, 2007 at 2:35 PM

Who do the Democrats support… our troops ? or the jihadists ? Don’t you remember this ? And I coul link about a hundred other examples if I had the time. At least the jihadists declare themselves openly as the enemies of America, but the Democrats are like a 5th column within. Jackie has it exactly right !

Maxx on August 17, 2007 at 3:24 PM

There’s nobody lower than the Democrats? Not even jihadists, huh?

Allahpundit on August 17, 2007 at 2:35 PM

Nope. I don’t believe that the jihadists are lower than the Democrats, AP. I believe that both jihadists and the American Democratic Party are both willing to sacrifice human life (e.g. abortion, terrorism, etc.) on the altar of power. Note that Jackie didn’t say “lowest-of-the-low,” he said “…nobody’s lower than…”

So as much as I’m not normally game for semantic wrestling, I think he was spot-on.

gryphon202 on August 17, 2007 at 3:42 PM

There’s nobody lower than the Democrats? Not even jihadists, huh?

Allahpundit on August 17, 2007 at 2:35 PM

Good point. However, consider this…

Jihadists are direct and honest about their depravity and intentions. Democrats slither like snakes. Piece by piece they unravel the thread that makes our nation great. Excessive taxes, excessive govt, quotas, race baiting, hate mongering, character assassinations, socialist roots, hatred of capitalism, politics of envy, the list goes on and on…

And how do these wretches sell it to us? In the words of Big Mother (aka Hillary), they do what they do for the good of us.

In sum, Democrats smile while they stab our nation in the back. Jihadists smile as they stab in our chest.

But in the end Allah, you are correct, Jihadists are lower.

Montana on August 17, 2007 at 3:52 PM

He’s way, waaaaaay overboard by the end here.

Oh man…you think this is overboard? You should come to one of our Sunday family brunches…

Keith_Z on August 17, 2007 at 3:57 PM

I find it difficult to get upset with Mason’s comments when I remember the comments by Sarandon, Penn, Pelosi, Murtha, Reid, Maher, Moyers, Kerry, and many other pols, celebs, pundits, etc.

Brad on August 17, 2007 at 3:57 PM

Uncle Martin…take a breath…pass the potato salad….Thanks.

Keith_Z on August 17, 2007 at 3:59 PM

“There’s nobody lower than these Democratic Party pigs on this earth.”

There’s nobody lower than the Democrats? Not even jihadists, huh?

Allahpundit on August 17, 2007 at 2:35 PM

Who are their enablers? And who’s leadership consistently bashes our troops who are fighting those jihadists and undermining the war in any way possible because it will help them get elected. I could go in to a lengthy rant here, but I think you get the point.

Sure, it’s an “over the top statement”, and I think it’s intended to be… I don’t think it’s something you analyze and say “weeeeell, technically by my count of who’s “lowest”, I think there are a few people lower than the Dems”. It’s hyperbole, though as I say, it’s not that far off them mark when you consider that they are jihadist enablers, which are just as bad as jihadists as far as I’m concerned. It’s like people who turn their back when they see child abuse and don’t report it. I’m afraid people are too “open minded” to the idea of “different opinions” on things sometimes, to the point where they don’t recognize that the Democratic Party IS full of a bunch of EVIL (truly evil) bastards.

RightWinged on August 17, 2007 at 4:01 PM

Are we not deserving of a little netroots-level outrage?

Kini on August 17, 2007 at 4:06 PM

Overboard? Not at all.

That expression about “nobody lower on this earth”, is just an expression anyway. Why take the man to task about semantics when he is making a valid point about the political nutroots of the Left? At any rate, without these nutty democrats, the jihadists would be having a much harder time breathing, not just in Iraq, but in America. So maybe that colloquial expression is the right honest truth in any case.

jihadwatcher on August 17, 2007 at 5:19 PM

So Jackie. How do you really feel?

Rabbi Mason is great.

There was nothing over the top in that video.

JayHaw Phrenzie on August 17, 2007 at 6:40 PM

Every time you haters compare Democrats to jihadists, and worse, call them worse than terrorists, realize that you’re talking about; your neighbor, your child’s doctor, soldiers, firefighters, police officers, teachers, co-workers, family members, and many other good people.

I’m still trying to figure out why someone who considers themselves a Democrat are all terrorists or terrorist enablers. That’s a lot of homegrown terrorists. Thank God for the Republican party, which protects our country from all of those evil, Democratic monsters, just waiting for the opportunity to bomb their own neighborhoods.

I understand that the political environment is divisive, but this rhetoric only turns us against one another, and gives the true terrorists a victory. Each side is guilty.

Dialogue and debate is great, but this rhetoric gets us nowhere.

[Understand I'm not referring to all Democrats, but to those who would do or support the above.]

Jackie IS an American treasure. How dare a Republican presidential candidate win? Is this democracy? You darn right, and good on you.

sandman on August 17, 2007 at 6:40 PM

Your strolling in and calling us all haters doesn’t help the dialogue much either. Actually I don’t hate them, not even the jihadist, but I do hate what they stand for, which is a culture of death. Do you want to defend Democrats from a culture of death when abortion has probably killed more innocent children than all the jihadist bombs combined ? And Democrats stand for communism and socialism which killed 25 million in Russia during the Bolshevik and Stalinist eras, perhaps 65 million in China under the eyes of Mao Zedong, 2 million in Cambodia, millions more Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. The ideas of the jihadi fascist and Marxist Democrats are very worthy of hate.

Maxx on August 17, 2007 at 8:29 PM

To the extent that a limited number of them support evil practices equally matching that of committing suicide/homicide against your enemies and their population in war, to wit hiring “doctors” to kill your own — or allowing others to kill their — fully developed children, I am in fact talking about my neighbor, my child’s doctor, soldiers, firefighters, police officers, teachers, co-workers, family members, and many other good people.

Christoph on August 17, 2007 at 9:00 PM

To go a step further… did Jesus teach us to identify good from evil based on them being Americans, or did He tell us we could recognize them by the fruit they produced?

And a baby’s sucked out bloody brains with dismembered and now chemically poisoned corpse is easily recognized fruit.

Christoph on August 17, 2007 at 9:03 PM

Indeed.

Christoph on August 17, 2007 at 9:08 PM

Yes Allahpundit. Not even jihadists. Because unlike liberal Democrats, Jihadists do not demand the protection of the American military and simultaneously do everything in their power to destroy it. A jihadists never held the highest office in the land least of all disrespected and degraded it as the current Democrat Queen and King Hilary and Bill Clinton.
But yet, Liberal Democrats nation wide, so love Bill and Hilary that they are willing to empty out their piggy banks (see their fund raising) to get them back in the White House.

I could go on with Hollywood and the MSMS plus etc.etc.etc…but I suspect you already know all that.

Liberals know what they want and they are intent on getting what they want. Isn’t time Conservatives start doing the same?

If you still need concrete proof of what happens to Conservatives who take liberals to lightly look no further than Canada, where the so-called Conservative Party are now debating with the Green Party as to who is more green.

So Jackie Mason’s little rant is tame compared to what I believe should be unleashed on the Democrats.

But then again I suspect you already know all that.

RMR on August 17, 2007 at 9:15 PM

AP…..nobody, but nobody, disses the anteater.

Coronagold on August 17, 2007 at 9:35 PM

Okay, the last line was hyperbolic, but I disagree that it reaches netroot-level and beyond. Besides, we all know that Rove’s goons were standing off-camera with their pistols pointed squarely at Jackie’s head, forcing him to say every word. You see, there is an ultra-secret group of European bankers that control everything…

Dork B. on August 17, 2007 at 9:58 PM

I dunno. Which group supports hiring doctors to insert needles into their full-term babies’ brains again?

Christoph on August 17, 2007 at 6:42 PM

Actually, it’s an interesting point in the “who’s worse” debate, because abortion kills 1.3 million/year in the United States alone, and almost all of them are for nothing more than after the fact birth control. (I can pull the stats if someone needs the proof, but it’s something like 94%+ that amount to birth control. Reasons given are “don’t want any more children” “aren’t ready for kids”, etc.)

Every time you haters compare Democrats to jihadists, and worse, call them worse than terrorists, realize that you’re talking about; your neighbor, your child’s doctor, soldiers, firefighters, police officers, teachers, co-workers, family members, and many other good people.

sandman on August 17, 2007 at 6:40 PM

There’s a difference in people who vote Democrat, and the politicians that run the party, who have been kept in the dark by the MSM. Pelosi - hangs out with enemy leaders against the wishes of the Prez (don’t bring up “some Republicans did it to”, because they weren’t prancing around and they were attacked in Syrian media, Ms. Botox was used as propaganda). Reid - “The war is lost” while troops are in harms way, etc. etc. Kerry - Troops are terrorizing women and children, and are stuck in Iraq because they didn’t study hard, for the funds before against it. Murtha - Do I really have to say anything? Durbin - Gitmo troops are like Nazis. House Whip Clyburn - It would be bad for us (Democrats) if there is progress in Iraq. Howard Dean - Well, I won’t touch that, I don’t have the time… Well just a couple “I hate Republicans”, idea that Bush knew about 9/11 beforehand “most interesting theory” he’s heard. Do I really need to go on?

Anyway, as I explained here:

RightWinged on August 17, 2007 at 4:01 PM

Mason was using hyperbole, but one can make a case that these people are enabling terrorism so they’re just as bad. They argued that Saddam had WMDs right up until the war began, and flipped a few months in when the election cycle began. Edwards supported the war and Bush’s actions at the UN leading up to the war through the Dem primaries… of course he’s not held accountable, but then again, it’s seeming lately as if his entire existence is based on being the biggest hypocrite possible. Attacking anything and everything he can think of, only to be exposed by conservatives for doing those exact things and making piles of money doing it (i.e. News Corp, “predatory lending”)

These people are evil SOBs. They want troop deaths and innocent people in Iraq killed because that means they have a better chance of winning elections. They run on nothing but empty promises of “health care” and “hope”, but as always they only seek to win by default, with help from a dishonest media swaying public opinion. The Democrats need and hope for all things negative to happen to our country, because the only thing they actually run on is “change”. Well if things go well, “change” doesn’t fly does it? So they want things to go badly.

And the disconnect between personal feelings people have about life, and what they feel overall about the nation are consistently revealed in polls. Particularly with the economy, we consistently see a vast majority of people happy with their own financial situation, while a vast majority is negative about the economy. Well, shouldn’t they be happy about the economy if they’re happy about their own finances? No, because the media bashes the economy and the folks aren’t all economists, so they take the tone of what they’re hearing in the media and it translates in to their opinion. A poll just came out the other day showing that 94% of the country are somewhat-very satisfied with their lives. Yeah, a record 94%!. But they’re down on the direction of the country, etc. So let’s see, your satisfaction with your lives’ has gone up to record levels since Bush took office.. but things are going badly? Again, media driven public opinion.

RightWinged on August 17, 2007 at 10:40 PM

Hear, hear, RightWinged.

RightWinged on August 17, 2007 at 10:40 PM

To clarify, this section and what followed in my rant were to illustrate the difference between “Democrats” (the regular citizens) and “Democrats” the nationally elected politicans. As I said, Mason was talking about elected Democrats, not Democrat citizens. This was all part of my reaction to Sandman stating that we’re attacking soldiers and firefighters, etc. when we attack Democrats. The problem is our friends and family and neighbor Democrats are simply in the dark about what their party is really all about, as explained here:

There’s a difference in people who vote Democrat, and the politicians that run the party, who have been kept in the dark by the MSM. Pelosi - hangs out with enemy leaders against the wishes of the Prez (don’t bring up “some Republicans did it to”, because they weren’t prancing around and they were attacked in Syrian media, Ms. Botox was used as propaganda). Reid - “The war is lost” while troops are in harms way, etc. etc. Kerry - Troops are terrorizing women and children, and are stuck in Iraq because they didn’t study hard, for the funds before against it.

Howard Dean - Well, I won’t touch that, I don’t have the time… Well just a couple “I hate Republicans”, idea that Bush knew about 9/11 beforehand “most interesting theory” he’s heard. Do I really need to go on?

and here:

These people are evil SOBs. They want troop deaths and innocent people in Iraq killed because that means they have a better chance of winning elections.

So they want things to go badly.

I just realize that I didn’t tie that other part back to it when I initially posted and some may not have understand the seemingly unrelated bit.

RightWinged on August 18, 2007 at 1:47 AM

I make no distinction between nationally elected Democrats to the degree that they advocate and support evil, like partial birth abortion.

I despise them whether they are a Senator or a baker.

Christoph on August 18, 2007 at 3:15 AM

No, I don’t think Jackie went overboard. You also have to consider he is an entertainer. I think he’s got the democrat party’s partisanship right. I agree with him on their idea of a two party system, also about Karl Rove.
Thanks Jackie.

2theright on August 18, 2007 at 10:23 AM

Jackie’s point was that Republicans do NOT indulge in the name-calling that passess for “commentary” by Democrats and the MSM on Republicans. And he made his point in an over-the-top way that is consistent with his art as an entertainer. Do you want to start comparing what this one man said to what dozens of Hollywood actors say regularly about Bush, Rove, et al? You would lose that contest.

drunyan8315 on August 18, 2007 at 1:20 PM

Here’s another contest: who is smarter and more worldly: Jackie Mason or Sean Penn!? No contest, is there?

drunyan8315 on August 18, 2007 at 1:22 PM

Asked a serious question, got no answer

Rushbaby=PNG on Hot Air.

RushBaby on August 18, 2007 at 8:59 PM

Jackie needs to hone a little.

Rove was a political Machiavellian par excellence. The good ones always are. (It isn’t badmitton, it’s a life and death struggle.) Rove was and is despised by the partisan irrationalists for the same reason that Chimpy McBushitlerburton is: the militant opposition cannot criticise coherently, so they go for the weakest, knee-jerkiest demonizing. And revel in juvenile gushings of spastic, sadistic incontinence.

(Curiously, for a group who are always self-declaring how much they are “utterly against torture”, their febrile fanatsies about how they would love to physically torment Bush, Cheney, Rove, et al, reveal the underlying unreconstructed hypocrisy of their “principled” stance.)

Mason is usually sharper, and more flamboyant. Open the vents on that semantic shotgun a little more, Jackie! The varmints deserve greater flair and flash.

(Stylistically, I prefer “weasels” to “pigs” for a coda, since it has a more comedic heritage, from Stewart Chaplin’s “weasel words” to “Pops Goes the…” by the 3 Stooges, and because Carville certainly looks more ferret-y than porcine.)

profitsbeard on August 18, 2007 at 9:58 PM

I prefer “weasels”
profitsbeard on August 18, 2007 at 9:58 PM

Interesting that you should mention weasels. A couple of years ago I saw a taxidermy weasel *shudder*… those things are not comedic in the least. Raccoons are vicious enough around here - I can’t imagine confronting a live weasel.

RushBaby on August 19, 2007 at 12:02 AM

Nothing wrong with that rant at all. I’ve been saying for years the Repub’s need a “designated hitter” to start throwing the Democraps crap in their face. Like Herb Brooks said, “We’re gong to take their game and we’re going to throw it in their face!” Your either on offense or defense.

I make no distinction between nationally elected Democrats to the degree that they advocate and support evil, like partial birth abortion.

I despise them whether they are a Senator or a baker.

Christoph on August 18, 2007 at 3:15 AM

Abosolutely! I hear the same party BS from both. And neither can have a discussion of ideas without getting emotional and/or resorting to name calling.
