Larry David

From Flickr user Stan Chow's photostream

Child Rapist Apologist Bill Donohue is offended by something. I swear, if I had a penny for every time this happened, I’d be a rich man. Wasn’t it only a week ago that The Simpsons outraged him?

So what’s made baby Jesus cry now? Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David has mocked religion before in the show (for instance, here, here, here, and here). But I guess Donohue only cares when its his religion that’s being mocked.

But Donohue’s not the only one. Michael Savage (yeah, that Michael Savage) also attacked Larry David, who he refers to as a “self-hating Jew,” “insane,” and an “anti semite". . .somehow.

The guy complains that Seinfeld teaches people that all Jews are like Woody Allen stereotypes despite the fact that it does no such thing. But then again, he doesn't watch Seinfeld. . .obviously. He then misrepresented Curb Your Enthusiasm, another show that he doesn’t really watch, claiming that “the only Christian in the show” is depicted as fat and stupid, etc. The only Christian in the show? What?! Right off the top of my head, David’s on-screen wife Cheryl is a Christian. She was in the episode in question and was neither depicted as fat nor stupid. And I’m pretty damned sure Ted Danson’s not Jewish. And he’s in almost every other episode of the show. He too is neither depicted as fat nor stupid. Though I don’t recall seeing him in this particular episode, he was in the previous episode. And there are countless non-Jews in Curb Your Enthusiasm. And they are not depicted as fat and stupid. That was merely a characteristic of this one character in this one episode. And let’s be fair here. Similar cases to the one mocked in the show really do happen (for instance, here, here, here, and here, to name a few).

Then Michael Savage says something else incredibly ignorant and stupid (I know. Shocker). He uses the old Bill Donohue “they only mock Christianity because they’re too afraid to mock Islam” gambit. Which is of course absurd considering Larry David HAS MOCKED ISLAM IN THE SHOW!!!

Oh, I am outraged, Mike. I’m outraged that your BS is allowed on the air. It’s not Larry David that makes Jews look bad. It's you who makes humanity look bad, you hypocritical, self-righteous clown!
