Floundering comedian Ray Hanania accuses Shark Blog, Little Green Footballs and others of being "hate & anti-Arab sites", belonging to a collection of "Bigots, assholes and others, including a few Pro-Nazi jerks, promoters of bigotry, and other hate inspired websites". It is true that I have written unflattering remarks about corrupt tyrannical regimes, deranged terrorists and their apologists. But I do not "hate Arabs" as Hanania implies. Indeed, in the specific post that Hanania links to, I specifically condemn discrimination against Arabs. But anybody who calls the Israeli government "Nazi-like", or says that the United States Congress is "Israeli Occupied Territory" will probably say anything for a laugh.
Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at November 09, 2002 05:56 PMWhat a flaming hypocrite. Here's an example of this guy's comedic stylings, from his own website:
"President Bush will no longer hold impromptu press conferences. His staff says the President needs at least three days to translate the documents from Hebrew into English before he will read them to the press."
Ba-dum-bum? How about sieg heil?
I'm very disappointed that my blog didn't get a mention. I've written to him (in Arabic) to ask why.
Let's see if he can actually understand Arabic.

Actually, the same is true of the post he linked to at LGF; an off-topic comment brings up Hanania and the Jackie Mason controversy.

I'm only sorry I missed the Steve Dahl show that earned Dahl a place in his little list. (Steve Dahl is an obnoxious, vulgar and very funny Chicago DJ.)
Posted by: DG on November 10, 2002 10:12 PMWell, the audacity of Hanania! After what I wrote about (and to) him I STILL don't make the list? Damn!
Where's the love?
