Comics Are Duking It Out For Jewish Support

Comedian Jackie Mason is mocking Sarah Silverman’s efforts to increase Jewish support for Obama, calling her a “yenta” (a person, especially a woman, who is meddlesome or gossipy) and asks for support for McCain.

Forty-eight hours after Jewish comedienne Sarah Silverman presented her “The Great Schlep”, a plan which calls for young Jews to “move their Jewish asses to Florida” and convince their grandparents to vote for Obama – the Republicans countered with their attack.

Jewish comic Jackie Mason released his own short film where he calls Silverman “a sick yenta” and urged Jews to vote for McCain. “What did Obama do in his life that he deserves to be president?” Mason asks the audience. ”Silverman did not provide even one good reason to vote for him. She didn’t say what did he ever do for Jews, what he has achieved and what he intends to do.”

The Jewish Republican Coalition, the principal Jewish body in the Republican party is the force behind Mason’s short film. “Jewish Vote” is the organization behind Silverman’s film, a body dedicated to helping raise support for Obama amongst the Jewish community.
