bbb Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 It's a pretty unfunny joke, but where does it become anti-Semetic? He's saying Hitler was one of the anti-Christs: http://www.buffalonews.com/cityregion/stor...?page=7#comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murra Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 It's a pretty unfunny joke, but where does it become anti-Semetic? He's saying Hitler was one of the anti-Christs:http://www.buffalonews.com/cityregion/stor...?page=7#comment Yeah, I think it's because he compared him to the third anti-Christ... anti-semetic, being that he is a jew. I don't know, it seems like something I would say in a very joking tone with that person present. It sounds like he just didn't deliver the joke well enough. Anyways, I was on the fence with Collins before this, and this hasn't really swayed my opinion either way, however I can understand totally the offense taken.

He's saying Hitler was one of the anti-Christs:http://www.buffalonews.com/cityregion/stor...?page=7#comment Like the fat man Ronan, who once in awhile sings God Bless America at Sabre games, Collins' comments will be forgiven...locally. Forget any chance of him running for governor...which was no doubt his ultimate goal. Which is a good thing because Chris "run government like a buisness" Collins should be voted out of office in Erie County the first opportunity we get. As for my opinion about his comment? I'm not convinced it was anti-semetic. Collins is too much of a dope to know what he's saying half the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Calling a Jew an anti-Christ is antisemitic? Jews for Jesus must be thrilled at this development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yall Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 This is sensitivity run amok for sure. Maybe not a great joke - I mean how often can we call everyone we don't like 'Hitler'? But I have to believe it was done as a tongue-in-cheek sort of thing, and without any reference towards the religion of Silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 It's anti-Hitler. Hitler was anti-Jew. So, how could this be anti-Jew. It makes no sense. He doesn't even mention anything about Judaism or anything. All this because Silver just happens to be Jewish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
