Thread Name: BS: Tommy Teirnan - raving racist or what?
Subject: RE: BS: Tommy Teirnan - raving racist or what?
Tommy Tiernan stood up in front of an audience and told jokes which dehumanised Jews - pretty much as happened throughout Nazi Germany in the 1930s, thereby making the extermination of 6,000,000 human beings not only possible but desirable in the minds of many Germans - I thought Cabaret did a pretty good job of telling is it was, as we seem to be talking about films.
No satire was intended; even he hasn't put this up as an argument.
The only defence of his behaviour has come from racist apologists who have claimed that racist jokes do no harm.
Wonder if that's what we about to get here - let's see, shall we!
