Allan Shore's (James Spader) tirade on ast night's episode of Boston Legal was reminiscent of Nazi propaganda. Is this the opening volley in a new wave of open anti-semitism?
btw: The writing on Boston Legal has never been friendly to religion in America, but this episode was far more egregious.

I'm British but we get Boston Legal over here. I'll be looking out for this tirade. I'm quite surprised; perhaps mistakenly I always view American TV as being far more 'tolerant' of different religions and, in particular, of being able to do Jewish humour with real affection.
But certainly what you describe does not sound good.
Thanks for mentioning it. We have to, sadly, be ever vigilant because if we're not, who else will be?

And you people do realize that the young people don't even watch TV anymore. The Christians are ordering Sky Angel with the Hallmark Channel so they can watch something decent. Basically, we are sick of the ugliness on TV.

It seems the American public has become sensitized to all the garbage we see on the streets (nearly naked young women), and in the media. The use of profanity is rampant among young people, and the American public has become indifferent/apathetic to all of it. It's a sad state of affairs. They seem to find humor in the disrespect of others. I think we might be abusing our "freedom of speech" protections!"

don't watch it and don't really care. You have the power to turn off any show you don't like and if enough agree with you it will go away, democracy in action.
