Garrison Keillor: The Jews Have Screwed Up Our Christmas
This is from 2009, but I never liked Keillor and the news about him reminds me of this:
Jews have been accused of many Ills by the bigots of the world, supposedly we control the banks, the media, foreign policy, and the American Government (Thankfully Obama disproves that one). Lately Jews have been accused of creating swine flu and the housing bubble that created the economic crisis (well Barney Frank IS Jewish).
During the Christmas season, many bigots revive the old anti-Semitic slander of diacide, that the Jews killed Christ.
Garrison Keillor, of Prairie Home Companion fame has come up with a brand new slur for Christmas, the Jews ruined the holiday by writing lousy Christmas songs.

(Keillor wrote): If you don’t believe Jesus was God, OK, go write your own damn “Silent Night” and leave ours alone. This is spiritual piracy and cultural elitism, and we Christians have stood for it long enough. And all those lousy holiday songs by Jewish guys that trash up the malls every year, Rudolph and the chestnuts and the rest of that dreck. Did one of our guys write “Grab your loafers, come along if you wanna, and we’ll blow that shofar for Rosh Hashanah“? No, we didn’t.

Maybe you are right Mr. Keillor, maybe young Israel Baline’s Family (Irving Berlin) (who wrote White Christmas) should not have disgraced the United States by coming here from Mogilev, Belarus in Russia after another pogrom burned their house down. For that matter, maybe Mel Torme’s folks should have stayed in Russia also, that way you wouldn’t have to expose your ears to that Jewish-written Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. If Johnny Marks parents didn’t escape from Russia, Garrison wouldn’t be subjected to Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, or Holly Jolly Christmas.
Most people would say Christmas is a bit happier with all of those songs, and those holiday standards are almost like a gift from the Jews. But Mr. Keillor, maybe you are right Christmas in this country would be much better without all of that interference by those Jews. Maybe Keillor is just being tongue and cheek, I don’t think so, but even if he is, with all of the anti-Semitism in the world, for some reason I don’t find it very funny. Mr. Keillor better be careful, if those other bigoted stories are true, we own the banks and can cut off your cash card any time we want.
