Paula Deen Blames ‘the Jews’ For Firing
Jun 28, 2013



Celebrity chef Paula Deen, embroiled in controversy this week over allegations of racism, added two cups of gasoline to the fire this morning when she blamed her troubles on Jewish people.

Deen, 66, was a guest of morning host Dave Garver on Atlanta radio station WTMI when she claimed “Jew executives” deliberately abandoned her in the wake of the controversy, which stemmed from a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former employee against her company.

The Georgia-born Southern-cooking maven is doing damage control in the media after admitting that she had used racial epithets in the past and had once planned a slavery-themed wedding. The ensuing backlash has led to Food Network dropping her show and several sponsors cutting ties.

When Garver asked Deen if she expected to return to the Food Network or to another network once the controversy died down, Deen said, “I don’t know, Dave. The whole situation is very stressful and very upsetting to me.

“I hosted one of the Food Network’s most popular shows. We had great ratings, great cookbooks, the fans loved me. But as soon as this N-word thing came up, the greedy Jew executives at the Food Network dropped me faster than a baked potato on a summer day.”

A shocked Garver responded: “I’m sorry, but did you say greedy Jew executives?”

“Yes I did, Dave,” Deen responded. “I made those Jews all this money and they still stabbed me in the back. As soon as it looked like their profits would be affected, they told me I was no longer needed. That’s Jew loyalty for ya'll.”


for the rest, if you can stomach it:

1. Please tell me

Daily Currant is a satire site. Please.

[The Straight Story]

5. it is (nt)

[CurtEastPoint]

6. yes satire site

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. It is. And I wish people would stop taking their "news" as true

because it isn't even good satire.

[JustAnotherGen]

12. Thanks to you and the others

I went to read the full post and figured it out. I'm a very literal person.

[tularetom]

33. Wow, I just read it and you are correct

It looks like some high school kids decided to put out their own version of the Onion.

I'd be embarrassed to have my name connected with it. In fact I'm embarrassed for the people who do have their names connected with it.

It really does suck.

[bluedigger]

2. You have got to be kidding me.

This isn't from The Onion? Really?!

Damn you, Daily Current!

[OriginalGeek]

3. isn't that an Onion type website?

I'm not defending PD but I think that may be a satirical piece and not something that actually happened...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. It's a lame imitation of the Onion.

[OriginalGeek]

15. yeah I now recall quite a few stories from the Daily Currant

and none have ever had the wit and humor of even the lamest Onion piece...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. The Daily Currant is a satire site! Not a good one, but satire nonetheless.

Come on, folks, examine your sources before you post stuff as true.

[Richardo]

14. You can always tell by the quotes.

Satire is rarely done well. Too many think it's easy, and it shows. That's what makes the Onion so remarkable.

[LWolf]

9. Satire, and not "just,"

as this was posted here several days ago.

[trumad]

10. Please change your headline---

thank you.

[Mira]

17. OK I should - and will n/t

[trumad]

20. Thanks,,,

[OriginalGeek]

11. lol, meet "Dave Garver"

[Quantess]

13. It's not funny.

This is the lamest satire ever.

[Arkana]

16. I'm really, REALLY glad this is satire, because the line is so blurred lately I can never tell.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. I thought it was pretty obvious

and typical of the lame, unfunny crap regularly put out by The Daily Currant. I just wish to hell their pieces would stop turning up on DU as "news."

[libodem]

18. Well, I was totally taken in

I think my jaw dislocated when it hit the floor. Yes, this caused TMJ.

[Bluenorthwest]

19. Daily Currant is a satire site, much like the Onion. This is satire.

It is not a reporting of a news story, it is a mockery of a news story.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

22. this site is a bad rip-off of the onion

thank you for your edit... but i can see where people might believe the story...

sP

[Moonwalk]

23. It says a lot that it sounds all too true.

Please don't post any more satires like this. They are too believable and I almost started spreading this news as true--and that would be really wrong.

[Jenoch]

24. Yes, this is satire.

They take a kernel of truth and attempt to write good satire. There are Jewish executives at the Food Network.

The key to recognizing this as a fake news story is the name of the radio announce, Dave Garver. Dave Garver is the name of Clint Eastwood's character in "Play Misty for Me". Also, WTMI is a radio station that had those call letters from 1971 to 2001 with a classical music format. It is now an easy listening station. I had to look that part up.

[Moonwalk]

25. And, of course, we should all know this because that movie is re-run so much that we've all seen it-

Oy!

[ProdigalJunkMail]

27. Jenoch has it on laserdisc and just assumes everyone does...

like me...

sP

[Moonwalk]

31. Laserdisk? What is this laserdisk you speak of? Doesn't everyone just stream movies now?....

...for that matter, what is this about radio stations and music? Doesn't everyone use Pandora or Spotfy?

[Jenoch]

30. I did not say everyone would or should recognize it.

I just said it was the key to recognizing the story as bullshit. However, I am sure there is some knuckhead out there in radioland that has taken the moniker of Dave Garver for his radio name.

[Moonwalk]

34. Didn't mean to imply you did say that--just that those who wrote this were doubly stupid...

...to use that as their "clue." I'm sure they thought the name clever and cute, but at this point (as compared to when the movie came out and was popular and well known), it's an inside joke; when it comes to the internet, that's a bad idea. With no real clue that this was a joke, many would take this as true and spread it as true. Spread it very far and very fast.

[Jenoch]

35. I agree.

The only Daily Current 'news' stories I have seen have been on this site. They are usually quite nasty in nature and while I am no Paula Deen fan, if someone takes this as the truth, it is unfair to Ms. Deen. They did an outrageous story on Michele Bachmann (I used to live in her district) and while am certainly not a Bachmann fan, the Daily Current story was way out of line, and I don't even recall a single detail of that 'story'. As others have said, The Daily Current does not even come close to the Onion at producing satire.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

26. you KNOW you listen to WTMI...

why act like you had to look it up... there's nothing wrong with easy listening... admit it. you love it... come on! SAY IT! YOU LOVE EASY LISTENING...

[Jenoch]

28. I've never been to Atlanta and was unaware of the station until I looked it up.

Thanks for the humor however. In fact I do occasionally listen to easy listening. The station I listen to calls it a Soft Hits format.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

29. I am in ATL and never heard of it...

is it really an Atlanta station? i would have preferred the classical format... Soft Hits... sounds like that counseling method where you bash each other with foam bats.

sP

[Jenoch]

32. Say 'Soft Hits' a little faster and you'll get the joke.

The 'Soft Hits' station has an announcer by the name of Hugh Jorgen.

That Atlanta station is now WFEZ-FM 'Easy 93.1"

(I've been in the broadcasting and advertising business for a long time.)

[ProdigalJunkMail]

36. hehehe... n/t

[PoliticAverse]

37. At this point, Dean is her own satire... n/t
