He was joking, not unlike the ilk of Howard Stern.

Boy, that Garrison Keillor and his make believe Prairie Home Companion, is probably one of the most boring peices of dreck* ever created.

He obviously feels that those dirty Jews created Xmas songs to get in the WASP club that he belongs to. He also thinks that Jesus IS G-d. Would someone please tell him that Christ was a Jew and not God. Maybe a prophet–but not G-d himself. This seems to be an overlooked fact everytime someone like Keillor mouths off.

Anyone that can actually look at Keillor for more than a few minutes deserves a medal anyhow. He reminds me of that mean and arrogant guy you’d meet at the country club. (Just kidding. I’ve never belonged to a country club. He is an arrogant bastard though.)

(*Note the proper use of the word dreck).

Marxism is “anti-Semitic”? That would be greeted with a horse-laugh in Moscow ca 1914. Brooklyn, too.

Must be why Lenin made antiu-Semitism a capital offense.

If you have a problem with Keillor, by all means let fly. But let’s not go crazy rewriting history. Wouldn’t want it to get out that Jews can do revisionism just as well as gentiles. Uh, I mean “neo-Nazis”, of course.

Just demonize Keillor into insignificance and off the radar the way you did to Solzhenitsyn when he miscalculated and acknowledged the obvious.

Hi Deb, thanks for outing Mr. Non-Companion. I sent this to his email address of oldscout@prairiehome.net

Dear Garrison Keillor,

For your information, Christian churches have many Jewish converts in them.

I am going to have to not listen to your radio show now,
because of your anti-semitic remarks 16Dec09 in the Baltimore Sun.

You do not have to be in Norway, to grow up coming home from school,
and connect the tradition of salt cod boiling with its a rainy day, and
the wash is hanging on the porch. That’s the way I remember it, growing
up in Lowell, MA. The strong smell of that cod fish, and having to duck
wet laundry on a rainy cold day is not a fond memory. I am glad that
I never ate that cod fish and my right to not eat cod fish was respected.
My family never insulted the music that Jewish folks wrote for Christmas.
We included them with our family sing-a-longs.
Your opinion has nothing to do with being Norwegian.

As a Christian, who is also a Jewish convert, I am not impressed with your
musical judgment against Jewish musicians.

National Treasure in the sense that a festering pustule draped in horse dung is a National Treasure. No, Cally, if you want a Left wing National Treasure, put on the Steely Dan.

Um, Keillor is a national treasure, and I think we understand the sarcasm in his statement. We really don’t need Xtian nutjobs providing defense- we Could expect them however to clean up their own house like cracking down on their own abortion doctor killers and other assorted extremists.

There was a marvelous humor book by Michael J Nelson called “Michael J Nelson’s Deathrat” that came out a few years ago that skewered Keillor neatly. He has been a schmuck for a long time.

However, in his very limited defense, he did have a stroke recently, which may have increased his impulsivity. But he does identify with Charles Lindbergh, another Aryan type.

But, worst of all, his comments weren’t even funny. The guy should retire.

He’s like one of the crotchety old dudes in his stories: cute until he starts talking about anybody that doesn’t look or think like him. Predictably, the best take down of the Christmas column comes from Keillor’s hometown paper, here:
