NPR's Anti-Semitism Satire: Holiday Craft Contest Touted With 'Mel Gibson Mel-norah'

National Public Radio oozes liberalism in nearly everything it does, especially when it starts tickling itself, like insisting Cheney lives in Rove's butt on its game shows. NPR's website advertises its "First Ever Holiday Craft Contest." Listeners are invited to design either a handmade menorah or a Christmas tree ornament. "We are looking for designs that reflect the news of 2006. We also welcome quirky, funny and/or offbeat designs. (See examples to the left.)" That would include a Christmas ornament with Scientology baby Suri Cruise, and some Mel Gibson mockery:

Sample Entry: Mel Gibson Mel-norah. This menorah works on two levels: It symbolizes a willingness to accept Gibson's apology for his anti-Semitic rant but also, for skeptics, offers the chance to watch hot wax drip down his punim (the Yiddish word for face). Materials: Mel Gibson cutouts and menorah.

In addition to wishing fake pain on Gibson, the caption underneath their photo reads:

Eight Mel Gibson movies and a Mel Gibson holding a candle-shaped award as the shamash. As our grandmother would say: "Oy."

Thank Allah for Mel Gibson.

Thank Allah for Mel Gibson.

The left finally found an anti-Semite it could condemn.

Unlike Nobel Peace prize winner, Yaassir Arafascist.

Man, there's one big Jew hater the left just lurved, right down to his Nazi roots and Gucci boots.

Proud member of the all-powerful and vast
militarist/industrialist/capitalist/zionist-bagelist complex

The only reason they couldn't

The only reason they couldn't condemn Yaassir is because he is Arab/Muslim. If they were to do that the activist world would have screamed racism and what not. Mel is a white American therefore the liberal world can say basically anything they want about him.

Nathan R MI,Um, you forgot th

Nathan R MI,

Um, you forgot that Mel is a white catholic....hence the libs feel free to take any and all shots available.  Without fear of reprisal, of course.

How is their Mel-bashing any different than the outrage they proclaim over Mel's or the Kramer guy's racist faux pas'?  

Oh, silly me....they're members of the media....hence all outrageous swipes at the man are fair game.....particularly since he's a white, male, catholic. 

I am furious that my tax dollars go to fund something so insidious.

Did you notice the red state/

Did you notice the red state/blue state ball? It was, of course, the red that was shattered, jagged, and causing "pain," while the blue was the intact core of the ornament. Accident of design, or intentional bias? NPR liked it.

NPR is the biggest sham in

NPR is the biggest sham in the history of radio communication. Talk about a government project that is a beacon of its support for the 1st Amendment!

And Mel is Australian. Sorry, after 16 years of living with my wife, I have been molded to feel it necessary to correct obsessively, not that any of you will return to this blog ever again in that I am posting 2 days after the last post.

Never use your gun to pistol-wip a Liberal. That could mar the finish.
