1. Silverman got it wrong!
petra ,   usa   (10.04.08)
Bubbe always knows best. And this Bubbe votes for Mccain!
2. I think I saw her in Maxim
USA   (10.04.08)
Half nude.
3. Obama is much worse than Dinkin
Anna ,   florida   (10.04.08)
Of course, some anti-Semites in Florida hope that New York will have pogroms and they, in Florida, will laugh.
4. Vulgar
Sandy ,   Boston   (10.04.08)
I am a 31 y.o. Jewish woman living in liberal Massachusetts. To me, Silverman is poor excuse for a comedienne who substitutes vulgarity for wit. She strikes me as decidedly unstable. I couldn't possibly take any of her advice seriously.
5. USA Election
David ,   USA   (10.04.08)
Why is this article on Y-Net? With all the political problems in Israel right now why is Israel so fascinated with the American election? The people of Israel should be taking to the streets to demand general elections to replace the current party which is destroying Israel. WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING! Get a backbone before Olmert and gang gives away your Capital city Yerushalayim, and also Yhudah and Shomron. Neither Obama nor McCain cares about Israel. They only want to be elected and will say whatever is necessary to make that happen.
6. Vulgar, vile and common.
Efroim ,   Washington DC   (10.04.08)
She tries to make a living with cheap jokes. Nobody watches her show. Wanna-Be Yente with no material. Issues should be for her psychologist to fix. Obama? yes Obama will win! Can you imagine Palin negotiating with Iran? LOL
7. Jackie Mason is right! Silverman, and other Obama supporters
Sam ,   NY, USA   (10.04.08)
have no reason to vote for Obama, other than he's not a Republican. McCain has made progress in America, and Obama has done nothing. Obama has little experience, while McCain has done so much!
8. Sarah Silverman and Whoopi Goldberg
Meir ,   Jerusalem   (10.04.08)
both share a Jewish last name, that is where their Jewish affiliation stops. Sarah Silverman is more interested in Santa bringing toys to JAPS like herself than she is in Chanuka. I wonder when the last time Sarah Silverman was in a shul? or ate kosher? or did anything Jewish besides whine like a JAP!
9. Silverman is a PIG with LIPSCHTIK
Dr. Dave ,   NYC   (10.05.08)
10. Whatever....
AJ ,   Washington, DC   (10.05.08)
Sarah Silverman is hilarious...and Obama is going to win in a LANDSLIDE so we can end this nightmare known as George W. Bush, have an American foreign policy that makes a modicum of sense, including REAL engagement with and support of the State of Israel. Not this bullshit that Bush/Rice have been running on us for the last 8 years. And Jackie Mason hasn't said anything funny in the last 25 years...he's a dried up leftover from the bygone Catskill years. The Republicans are just desperate. They know they are about to get their asses KICKED in less than a month. Mwaaahhaaa!!! I can't wait to see their long stupid faces on election night!!! Obama's right....its time for a change that includes smart people and everything like we had under Bill Clinton. Its time for Obama/Biden folks. Jews and gentiles agree about this stateside.
11. I did not know Sarah Silverman former girlfriend of...
Steve ,   US   (10.05.08)
Jimmy Kimmel. Somehow I was directed to this video (below) where Silverman acknowledges she is having a love affair with actor, Matt Damon. Apparently Silverman and Kimmel have since broken up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLG3S5WzHig
12. Oh give the gal a break. She looks like a normal Jewish dyke
to me!! ,   Ellen Degenerate   (10.05.08)
13. # 8
(10.05.08)
While I'm not necessarily a fan of Sarah Silverman, your use of the term "JAP" is no less offensive than some of the things she says.
14. Republican Response
NYC Girl   (10.05.08)
Is Jackie Mason the only antidote to Sarah Silverman the Republicans could find? His phony, cringe-inducing Yiddish accent is enough to make me want to become an Episcopalian.
15. Does she have issues?
Janet Keno ,   Baltimore   (10.05.08)
She needs help. Her show is cheap humor and sheds light on her twisted JAP mind. Not sexy at all like all JAPS. Unattractive.
16. to #10 obama is a hollow suit
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.05.08)
he has accomplished nothing in his 2 1/2 years in the senate. He just ran for the office of president. McCain is a real American hero. He defende theU.S.not obama! Can you compare a community organizer that helped people get mortgages they could not afford with a fighter pilot?
17. #10, yeah right
Danny   (10.05.08)
because after 8 years of a deeply unpopular president, in the middle of a financial crisis, running against a 72 year old man, hundreds of millions of dollars of campaign financing and with the entire mainstream media openly backing him, Obama can barely scrap lead that is statistically significant. What a great leader!
18. Jackie Mason makes me cringe
Arielush ,   Ramat Ha Golan   (10.05.08)
Jackie Mason lost me when he came to Israel during the Gulf War. During that time Sealed Room jokes were the venue. He lost me when he told Gidi Gov and another commediene their jokes were inappropriate. Who asked him?
19. # 10 Landslide you said, moron?
Semper Fi! ,   San Diego, USA   (10.05.08)
I agree with Danny # 17 after all this mess the alleged Obama Hussein isn't able to maintain and keep a lead. By the way, you sound like one of those liberal morons that keep repeating the same lines about the Bush administration without any results. You sound like Andy the Ramat Hasharon quee.. n I recommend you to get out on DC and with the help of the ACLU, mainstream media reporters, CNN, MSNBC turncoats, and knock upon the doors and give money to your crack addicted, drunk, lazy "brothers & sisters" in order to make them vote, but first teach them to read... Unbelievable, 99% of the media, all the brainless so called celebrities and comedians, MK of dollars from selfloathing like Soros, Spielberg and more, and still the guy is neck by neck with a 72 years old hero, a man with cojones, not like you liberals...By the way, they do not talk about Palin anylonger, they are scared to death to even remeber her name...Go McCain/Palin, kick the ass of these cowards... Even if they get defeated we know know what to think about a disgusting Silverman and others...
20. The Republicans LOOTED your retirement funds
Steve G ,   Kew Gardens, NY, USA   (10.05.08)
The cranky old Jews in Florida should look at skyrocketing supermarket prices, gas prices and rents before voting for the Republicans who wrecked the economy. You pay $2.60 for a dozen eggs? it was 89 cents in 2000. The Democrats and Obama will need at least 10 years to undo the catastrophic damage caused by Bush and his Gang. That's why your children are yelling at you to vote Democratic. Anything else is a disaster for them and YOU!
21. Way to go Jackie! She is one sick yenta!
Sarah ,   Israel   (10.05.08)
22. Silverman is a sad and unhappy person
Mike Jefferson ,   Washington, D.C.   (10.05.08)
I pity Sarah SIlverman - she leads a sad and pathetic life devoid of love and kindness. Her "craft" is perverse and as far from humor as one can get. Nowhere is this better exemplified than her notorious routine, "I ****** Matt Damon." It's ironic that this story would also contain a reference to Jackie Mason, a real comedian..
23. #19 - Poor angry Temper Lie....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (10.05.08)
Stewing away in his own juices. I can see you still need anger management. Call AJ a moron or me queer, but it doesn't change the facts that unstable McCain and his blithering diot of a running mate are going to loose this election. Of course people keep talking about Bush, the worst President since Jimmy Carter - because McCain/Palin promise more of the same. I smell a landslide the likes of Nixon or Reagan coming your way.
24. to #23 You are right,you smell!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.05.08)
WHO THE HELL IS OBAMA? he is backed by the enemies of the U.S.
25. #19 Semper Fi
David ,   USA   (10.05.08)
I see the Marine Corp has done its work on you very well. Your brain is dead.
26. Silverman is 1/2 right.
Roli ,   miami beach, USA   (10.06.08)
I saw the "great shlepp" ad and I thought that part of it was a great idea. The part about a whole lot of young-ish Jews from the north coming to South Florida to visit is great. I'm sure the girls will be far cuter than Sarah Silverman and that the guys will be nice enough to keep those cheek pinching, blue haired, partisans of the early bird special buzzing well beyond 7:30pm. Many of the younger generation of Jews that grew up in South Florida had grandparents that trained here, fought in WWII, and who returned to settle after the war in search of, among other things, a less politically charged climate than that of the North East. Even though the State of Florida is home to the 2nd largest Jewish community outside of New York, most of whom are below retirement age, its always the same crowd from Century Village in Deerfield Beach that are treated like king makers. Obama has associated himself with anti-semitism (Rev. Wright) and Islamo-fascism(Farrakhan). What Silverman seeks are those die hard velvet wearing geriatric Bolsheviks to assure them that Obama is more pink than Che Guevara. As opposed to NYC, people like that are a small minority of Jewish voters in Florida, but they sure can throw a wrench in the works when they do not get their party in the white house.
27. Mason: The Biggest Bigot
Michael ,   New York   (10.06.08)
has his foot in his mouth. What fools these Republicans. Go Sarah (Silverman)!!
28. Sara S.
(10.06.08)
Why doesn't Sara S. tell young Jews to visit their grandparents all year round, especially for Jewish holidays? Why only to vote? And why for someone who supported Reverend Wright and Louis Farrakhan - two known anti-semites?
29. silverman
sas ,   israel   (10.06.08)
she's dumb and will only cause more problems.
30. LOL NYC Girl, I agree!
INCognito ,   Brooklyn   (10.06.08)
Hearing his voice almost made me hurl! (Sorry if it's TMI).
