Michael Richards:  Equal Opportunity Bigot

Filed under: Celebrities

Turns out, Michael Richards is not only racist, but also anti-Semitic…

After news of Richards’ racist rant at the Laugh Factory became headline news, two Los Angeles residents came forward and said that Richards launched into a similar tirade — against Jews — earlier this year at L.A. comedy club, The Improv. Carol Oschin and J.P. Fillet say they were at the club in April when Richards took the stage. In the middle of Richards’ skit, a man in the audience said something to the comedian, when Richards allegedly launched into an anti-Semitic rant. According to Oschin, Richards screamed at the audience member, “You f***ing Jew. You people are the cause of Jesus dying.”

Oschin says the rant continued and Richards stormed off the stage. At first, they thought Richards’ tirade was part of his act, but claim that it quickly became apparent it was not. (An interview with Oschin and Fillet can be seen here.) Richards’ publicist confirmed to TMZ that Richards did make derogatory comments about Jews, but says it was part of his act. He says Richards told him, “I’m not anti-Semitic. I was playing a role and poking fun at the rednecks.”

Well, that’s a relief. Perhaps Richards was just playing the part of a KKK member at the Laugh Factory. In which case… talk about hilarious!

    Candy…I know I said I would leave you be for a whole week, but, what kind of #1 Fan would I be if I didn’t wish you a happy Thanksgiving?!
    Happy Thanksgiving, doll!
    You certaintly have a lot to be thankful for. For instance, your smart. Very smart. I know, that doesn’t mean much coming from a dumby like me. But I am working at getting a degree in Quantam Physics! It is my Fortè, and a lot of people just don’t understand the equations, and formulae. Your fortè happens to be writting. So please don’t think of me as stupid. I am immature, though; )
    Your probably blonde, and beautiful. You probably have had breast augmentation! So they are huuuuugge, aren’t they( rhetorical question )?
    You have a great attitude. You probably work out, and have a great body, don’t you? If not, hey, I like a little meat on my sandwich.
    What am I thankful for? For being alive, ( I had a sudden heart attack last year, for no reason, I worked out every day, for like, 5 hours! That has slowed me down, though, I can only work out sometimes…)
    I am thankful for meeting two beautiful black Honey’s last week, that have huuuuuggggge bottoms, and beautiful dark skin.
    I am thankful to have found your site, Candy. I may say some weird things…but deep down inside, that is not how I feel about you.
    You know how I feel about you, and your site. It is a wonderful site, doll, and so are you. I enjoy coming, and I am thankful you have let me back on. Why did you let me back on??? Is it because you are the kind of Candy that has the soft center? I bet you are.
    I probably come on your site more than Jo Jo, Hannah, Hella Fun Goodies, and Jewed all combined. Are you thankful to have a number one fan like me?
    Hugs and kisses, Candy.

    Note: I am the first to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, Candy. Thats because I care about you. Take care of yourself, dear.

    Richards needs to learn to control his temper, if he plans on continuing stand-up comedy. I thought he was Jewish.

    He is, Jo Jo.
    I even called some Rabbi’s I know, because I am Jewish. I even checked Wikipedia, but his profile has been locked, as of lately. I had checked it prior, and..it said he was Jewish. What do you think of that?

    I think he was joking,y’all! Damn.
