Singer Yanked for "Anti-semitic" Remark

[kolnidre]

My own attempt at a humorous headline (see original article for the boring one). No judge, no jury. Some of the comments show people are getting it and are not afraid to call out the exceptionalism of the infallible tribe.

NEW YORK (AP)—Noted singer Ronan Tynan's scheduled appearance for "God Bless America" at the AL championship series opener was canceled by the New York Yankees after a woman complained to the team that he made an anti-Semitic remark.

Yankees spokeswoman Alice McGillion said Friday a woman sent an e-mail to a team official a day earlier claiming the Irish tenor made the remark while the woman was being shown an apartment in the building where Tynan lives.

Tynan confirmed the remark to the team official but said he was joking, McGillion said.

"There are no plans for him to sing," McGillion said.

Tynan has become a fixture at Yankee Stadium in the postseason with his rendition of "God Bless America."

Tynan had the right to make the anti-Jewish joke (which was that Jews aren't allowed in his building).
And the Yankees have the right not to employ him for saying it. Everyone's rights have been protected.

If the Yankees decision upsets the anti-semites here.... GOOD! That's a bonus.

What's funny is that Jews have everything that you and your don't have, and it makes you jealous.

Good, let it burn you up.

Because your children will work for my children.

Jews always think they are above everyone and that they deserve special treatment. The sad fact is that our government gives them special treatment and goes above and beyond to please them because of the money and investments they bring with them. As a former government employee I saw it almost everyday and I had to sit there and be nice to them, give them what they wanted while others were pushed away or told to wait when they were there first.
