Cameron ,   USA   (12.21.06)
Well, at least a French fascist and the local barbarian Arabs finally have found something they can agree on. A true meeting of the minds.
2. Lepen is a pen in the ass!
patrick ,   Quebec city (Canada)   (12.21.06)
France is a disgrace among the civilized nations...(antisionist country and antisemite also) that is why I fled from there and i can say that was the right move for me and my family.
3. Funnier than your face monsewer ?
(12.21.06)
No way.
4. anti-semitism is anti-semitism
jason ,   usa   (12.21.06)
and the anti-semitism is racism and that NOT FUNNY AT ALL
5. so if we say the following about the french its ok....
(12.21.06)
... 1). Frenchies dont speak they slur their words. Just take the first couple of letters of each word, pronounce them as you would in italian, and slur the end bit & youve got french 2). All frenchies are *** ******- thats why all their women date moroccan and algerian men 3). French food just looks good. Italian food actually tastes good 4), French Army? MMMhahahahahahahahahaha!
6. Yes - just look at baker & co.
Arie ,   Afula   (12.21.06)
they are laughing all the way to the bank with their "f*** the Jews" attitude
7. Got any good Mohammad jokes too?
Jay ,   Israel   (12.21.06)
Lets hear him make fun of Mohammad and see what the muslims in France would do to him.
8. What's wrong with you people?
Intedi Nensak ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (12.21.06)
Of course racist jokes are funny. They're absolutely hilarious. Perhaps when it's coming from Le Pen it's a bit different since he's known for his hatred for jews and doesn't even try to hide it. But ultimately he's right, racist jokes are awesome. Who here thinks Borat's success is because of his good looks?
9. To #8
Rubele ,   Argentina   (12.21.06)
No, it's because Sasha Baron Cohen (Borat) is jew. It´s funny to make jokes but first joke with you, then it's OK.
10. Borat
(12.21.06)
I just HATE that kind of humor even if it is actually self-derision!
11. LOLOLHAHAHA
(12.21.06)
ANYTHING CAN BE FUNNY- its you jews are so self serious and STUPID you can never laugh at yourselves- you would rather whine and throw a lawsuit someones way.
12. Cheap "FROG" Andrew Dice Clay Rip Off
bruno ,   australia   (12.21.06)
Is he available for stand up?
13. Borat
Yasir ,   US   (12.21.06)
"You know the people who mock Jews the most are Jews themselves. There's a Jewish form of humor that is very famous and well-known." I think he's right. When Borat makes fun of the Jews, it's okay because he's one.
14. #11 is funny because he is so stupid
Michael U ,   SF,CA   (12.21.06)
To believe anything can be funny is a dangerous and evil mindset. Sure, the extermination of a people is funny... IF YOU ARE EVIL! Maybe #11 should be laughting at himself in a mental institute where people who think like that belong.
15. Froggie Boy-chic
Howard ,   USA   (12.21.06)
I hear his wife is number 2 prostitute in all France. Seriously though, yes, we need to be able to laugh at ourselves and other nationalities. I enjoy a good Italian joke, Polish joke and what not. I look forward to hearing some of froggies Mooohamed jokes
16. #11
Harold ,   usa   (12.21.06)
Borat isn't funny? Isn't he a jew making fun out of jews? Jews can a take a joke, I just don't find any humor in the holocaust. Let him tell a good mooohamed joke and see how paris burns. Get ready to wave the white flag ......that you know how to do but don't worry, us Americans will come to your rescue
17. What a piece of idiot this guy!
Harissa ,   Israel   (12.21.06)

Steven ,   Bethesda, MD   (12.21.06)
How right you are. We see how the religion of peace acts when a muhamed cartoon is published, Paris would be set ablaze if a joke was made about the "phophet" And the bit about America rushing to Frances defence, how f***ing true. What a disgrace you are France.
19. another frog catering to nazis
Arie ,   Afula   (12.21.06)
20. Antisemitism is not funny - It is pathetic
(12.21.06)
And that is what Sascha showed in his film
21. Mass Murder can be funny..Genocide
Ffffrancid ,   Eurabia   (12.22.06)
can be funny....Starvation can be funny...Islamophobia can be hysterical...what the..??? The only thing funny as in peculiar is this mans perception on things and I would not be at all suprised if he will be voted into power..anyone who sides with evil and make derogratory remarks abt minority groups is a sure winner...
22. ahhahaha, so funny! this guy is so very funny!
mike ,   san diego   (12.22.06)
some definite traditional jewish humour here. jesus what an idiot. re: french comedian In December 2003, he made an appearance on live television dressed as a Haredi Jew and urged Muslims to convert to the "American-Israeli axis of good" if they wanted a place in this society. Dieudonné finished the show by giving the traditional Nazi salute and exclaiming "Israel!". Some have heard he said "Isra-heil".
23. HATE IS NEVER FUNNY
DemocracyRules ,   Canada   (12.22.06)
A man walked into the Lingerie Department of Macy's in New York City. He tells the saleslady, "I would like a Jewish bra for my wife, size 34B." With a quizzical look the saleslady asked, "What kind of bra?" He repeated "A Jewish bra. She said to tell you that she wanted a Jewish bra, and that you would know what she wanted." "Ah, now I remember," said the saleslady. "We don't get as many requests for them as we used to. Mostly our customers lately want the Catholic bra, or the Salvation Army bra, or the Presbyterian bra." Confused, and a little flustered, the man asked "So, what are the differences?" The saleslady responded. "It is all really quite simple. The Catholic bra supports the masses. The Salvation Army lifts up the fallen, and the Presbyterian bra keeps them staunch and upright." He mused on that information for a minute and said: "Hmmm. I know I'll regret asking, but what does the Jewish bra do?" A Jewish bra," she replied, "makes mountains out of molehills."
24. No Mohamed (PBUH) Jokes!!
Kareem ,   Egypt   (12.22.06)
To those of u idiots who think that it's ok to make jokes on prophet Mohamed (PBUH)..we don't make jokes on prophet Jesus or Moses coz we have respect for them, so we won't allow anyone to make jokes on the Prophets! However..we can make jokes on the people..The Jewish ppl, the Christians, and the Muslims..but leave their prophets alone, coz that is crossing the red line
25. Le Pen
Oleg ,   USA   (12.22.06)
Let's face it -- he is a rising star. Couple more violent riots in France and he will beat any candidate.
26. what about good Ibrahim , Jacob ,David
1.5 Billion Muslims   (12.22.06)
Jermaih , Joel , aro, , Joseph and Moses Jokes r that is anti-Samatism. Reality Check , World
27. #23 as long as it is not making fun of Muslim
1.5 Billion Muslims   (12.22.06)
Reality Check , world
28. #9
Intedi Nensak ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (12.22.06)
It doesn't matter if Borat is a jew, people love insultive jokes - they're really funny. If all jokes were politically correct then humour would be dead, nobody would find it funny. You don't have to make a joke about yourself first to prove how non-racist you are then you're just being politically correct and then you're boring. More racist jokes to the world please!
