It appears that this loud-mouth has put both feet in it again. She said this about the Gaza dead :::: "at least the ones that were killed were the ones with very low IQs"

Thanks for that Slaney, on the basis of viewing that, what she said was 100% unacceptable.

There's little sympathy from Americans for the plight of the Palestinians. It will do her career no harm to be known as a jewess with an interest in politics who views the people who were killed as untermensch.

Well, I think she has made unacceptable remarks, and I don't give a fig what religion she is. She is also about as funny as a bad smell.

*appears* we don't know for sure she said these words then?

From her facebook page
“I am both saddened and disappointed that my statement about the tragedy of civilian casualties was totally taken out of context. What I said and stand behind is, war is hell and unfortunately civilians are victims of political conflicts. We, The United States, certainly know this as 69 years later we still feel the guilt of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The media, as usual, has decided to only quote the most out of context and inflammatory non sequitur rather than giving an accurate account of what my intentions were behind the statement. Along with every other sane person in this world, I am praying for peace. It is stupid and wrong and I am tired of bearing the brunt of attacks by people who want to sell newspapers or gain ratings by creating a scandal about me that is non-existent.”
I am with Joan Rivers on this one, when a quote is printed out of context it gives a whole new meaning to it.

I am quite happy to believe the link that I posted sandy. She has now changed her story because she realised that her big mouth has got her into trouble again. As to Facebook, when was this ever taken seriously ? I understand that she is just about to start a British tour, which is probably the main reason why she has back-tracked on her outburst at LA Airport.

At the very least she hasn't been helpful. Instead, she has poured petrol on a blazing fire. She should stick to her "comedy" routine, which, by the way, hasn't changed in years. Ghastly old bat.

Spitting Image had it right..."Make up, Make up !"

What?
Question Author
Brenden...into what category did "at least the ones that were killed were the ones with very low IQs" were we supposed to take her then ? Was she saying that all those little children that have been killed were stupid ?

This is comedy already ?
It is religion that is causing most of the worlds problems mickey, mainly Islam.
Question Author
That's as maybe Brenden and I would question your statement that its mainly Islam. But how has Rivers ill-judged remarks helped the situation ?
Facebook is her own words.

Do you really believe what you read in the papers, Mikey?
The situation will not change until Hamas and Islam recognise the Jews right to exist. One persons views are a drop in the ocean, which I might add they are perfectly entitled to - albeit right or wrong.
OK, I don't find it unacceptable even if she did say it - that' because she's Joan Rivers and has built her whole comedic carreer by saying totally outrageous things about a multitide of topics that will have undoubtedly offended various people over the years. It's what one expects from her and either you find her outrageously funny (like me) or you don't. She's not a politician so she can say what she wants.
So you are going to ignore totally the actually words of Joan Rivers and believe what this reporter has stated?

The article may or may not have been taken out of context, I am just being objective. You, mikey...appear to have an agenda.
Brendan, the Jews have a right to exist. BUt what right do they have to exist on lands they've stolen from the Palestinians?
Question Author
Ummmm...her remarks at the Airport have been widely publicised.....I have no reason not to believe them. If you read my link, you will see that she is not denying that she used the words, just that they were "taken out of context" ::::

"The media, as usual, has decided to only quote the most out of context and inflammatory non sequitur rather than giving an accurate account of what my intentions were behind the statement," Rivers said.

Weasel words.

So I ask again, in what context were we supposed to take her assertion that the ones that died had very low IQ ?

It was an intemperate and ignorant outburst, and it now appears that she is trying to back-track, for commercial reasons.

Sometimes AB amazes me...isn't there anybody else who thinks her remarks were unacceptable ?
Question Author
Sorry Prudie...our posts crossed !
Question Author
Roy...with great respect, I think you have been taken in by Rivers change of heart. She either said those words or she didn't. I repeat...what context were we supposed to take them ?
Could she be a jewess once again religion pulls down an illogical veil
I think that they are unacceptable to most right thinking people. But there's a constituency of her co-religionists and Zionists in the USA who would be happy to go along with them.
How come she has only just been asked at the conflict?

I have been waiting weeks for her view of the situation. On the plus side it seems her comments have brought about a 5 day cease fire.
