RJC Video Star, Jackie Mason, Flip-Flopped on McCain

Today the Jewish Telegraphic Agency noted that, "Jackie Mason flip-flopped on McCain? The Miami New Times posts a video of the comedian calling John McCain a “disgusting lowlife” and a “fraud” during the Republican primaries, quite a contrast with his pro-McCain, anti-Sarah Silverman video released Friday."

Interesting, that Mason was the only person the Republican Jewish Coalition could dredge up to support McCain in a video response to Silverman's "The Great Schlep."  Either the RJC didn't do their homework or they don't mind having their surrogates call McCain a "disgusting lowlife” and a “fraud.” Imagine how the RJC would have responded if we had a surrogate with the same public record.

But that's not the only knock against Mason. Here's a New York Times article titled, "Giuliani Drops Comedian Over Remarks" that reports, "Rudolph W. Giuliani said yesterday that the comedian Jackie Mason would no longer have a role in his mayoral campaign, after a newspaper quoted Mr. Mason as making racially charged remarks about blacks and Jews." For further reading on Mason and race, here is another article on the subject, and another.
