CBS casts anti semite, covers it up
Edited on Thu Aug-09-07 08:31 PM by lynyrd_skynyrd
Here is a video of Amber, a contestant on the CBS show "Big Brother", going on a tirade against Jews.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=isHw2pcxL_s

If it were not for the live feeds that allow the public to watch the goings on in the house, this would not be on YouTube and would not be known at all, because CBS has not shown it on the television broadcast. In fact, tonight, Amber was edited to look like a victim because of something Eric, a Jew threatened to use against her in the context of this ridiculous game show.

This is unacceptable. I'm not even Jewish, and I am appalled that this woman hasn't been disqualified over this. But then again, another contestant is openly homophobic, and she was allowed to stay, too. What a disgrace. :puke:

1. I'll watch this later
But I'm surprised CBS would even think they could cover up something controversial like that. I mean, they know what the internet is, right?

4. Yeah, a series of tubes that ensures everybody will hear what you say
on the internet. So, if you're on the internet... maybe a good time to keep the prejudice to a minimum, even if you're an ass the rest of the time.

5. kudos to the other girl
doesn't get all preachy, but just kindly tells her "that's not right," doesn't cut things off with her. That's how people change, by coming into contact with people like the other girl.

6. What will change her...

7. But then she'll probably blame it on Jews
So, maybe not.

9. that's going to change her attitudes?
that might be the right thing for the network to do, but I was talking about changing her attitudes.

8. Pretty Bad
It's bad enough that she feels this way, but CBS could have claimed they didn't know.

However, them trying to hide it and then make Eric look bad, that shows CBS as culpable.

Anyway, Amber did drugs, maybe she just she forgot the nice Jews she undoubtedly met.

11. And they continue to do so. They go into Eric's being torn a new
one, etc. But neglect to go into her lies, her disgusting anti-Jewish statements, and the sanctimonious ways she exhibits.

Pretty damn pathetic on their part.

They so edit this show down from the live feeds (it gets pretty vile from what I've read--no, I don't have the feeds but have read updates...it's bluer than blue in that house and Dick is just one of the vile-mouthed ones) Amber takes the cake though as vile.
