Big Tent Politics IV

In France, we have a vulgar expression that you can't paint merde.

Marine Le Pen,
Front National campaign director
and daughter of its presidential wannabe,
blindsided by irony
PARIS December 17, 2006 (Guardian)

M. Le Pen, undeterred by the best advice, throws open the Front National tent flap to invite anti-Semites of every stripe, not just the nativists.

LE PEN: ANTI-SEMITISM CAN BE FUNNY

December 21, 2006 (Ynet/Reuters) - Le Pen, leader of the National Front who shocked France by finishing second behind President Jacques Chirac in the 2002 election, recently attended a show by controversial comedian Dieudonne M'Bala M'Bala.

The black comic was fined by a French court for anti-Semitic comments in 2004.

Asked on BFM radio whether it was Dieudonne's anti-Semitism that he found funny, Le Pen responded: "Yes, that can also be funny. There should be no subject that escapes criticism or irony. It all depends on how it is treated."

"You know the people who mock Jews the most are Jews themselves. There's a Jewish form of humor that is very famous and well-known."

Laughing All The Way To The Ballot Box

[Hat tip: ¡No Pasarán!]

You see, Moshe, if we laugh at anti-semitism it is because Jews, you Jews, joking Jews, have made us laugh. Now, now after some pogroms and a Holocaust, now you think it's not so funny. Ah, mon ami, but the French philosophes, we cannot stop laughing. Ha! We laugh at everything. Ha ha!

Le Pen, who received 16.9 percent of votes in the 2002 election, was convicted and fined in 1990 for inciting racial hatred and for saying in 1996 that the gas chambers used by the Nazis were "merely a detail" of World War Two.

He faces another trial next year for saying in 2005 that "the German occupation was not particularly inhumane". In June, he said the French soccer team had too many black players.

M. Le Pen has enough support to pull another upset in the 1er tour, but not enough to prevail in the 2ème tour. He is the de facto kingmaker of the surviving opposition in the 2ème tour.

Bonjour,


Une blague l'antisémitisme ?
Ce connard de Le Pen a trop fréquenté son grand ami REAGAN qui a du lui cacher les mesures antisémites prises dans les "très démocratiques USA" des années 30 ...
Le grand physicien US Feynman (Prix Nobel) en a raconté de belles à ce sujet !
