A new anti-Semitism
: I’m watching a most frightening Scarborough Country with guest hotheadhost Pat Buchanan as he and most of his guests attack Hollywood for not bowing down to Mel Gibson’s anti-Semitic Passion of the Christ because — in the words of William Donohue of the Catholic League — “Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews.” Buchanan doesn’t scold him but instead talks about how good movies 50 years ago were mde by “Jewish folks.” The only — the token — Jew on the show is Rabbi Smuley Boteach, who replies to Buchanan’s talk about how the Oscars will surely honor Michael Moore and not Mel Gibson and says that Moore and Gibson commit the same sin: “they both whitewash tyrants.” The attacks on “the Jews” continue until another guest starts attacking homosexuals. Scary people. Scary show.
