Today Abe Foxman censored a Miami company’s free speech
to use a billboard to sell its Wodka Vodka.
Me thinks this man protests too much.
You know, Abe, familiarity breeds contempt.
And by the way, how much do the Bronfmans of Seagrams fame
toss your way to support your outfit the Anti-Defamation League?
And is the Bronfman’s Seagrams Vodka really the smoothest?
I tell you what: Let’s put it to the test.
Let’s meet and do a taste comparison: Wodka Vodka or Seagrams Vodka.
Conditions: impartial moderator serves from unmarked bottles seven rounds
and we cast secret ballots on each round.
Of course during the course of this imbibing
we’ll have the opportunity to talk about many things, won’t we, Abe?
Remember my letter to the editor of the New York Times
on the USS Liberty back in August 1988? You, of course, had the last say.
You always have the last say; i.e. until I have the last say!
And how about my discovery of a bogus 9/11 airport surveillance video
that certain folk in the US Department of Justice used to frame
wholly Semitic Arabs for the shock & awe cybernetic crimes of 9/11?
As smooth as Seagrams’s Vodka is, Abe, I tell you your hair will stand on end.
And one last thing. So what’s the big deal about Channukha?
This is NOT one of the holidays prescribed through Moses!
Were Moses come back from the dead today,
he’d really be wondering exactly what is going on!

It’s offensive but funny. Sorry for laughing but I couldn’t help myself. Now that a joke was made you could put yourselves on the same level as all of us and not try to be above us.

always the jews with some kind of problem

AS A JEW WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL.
LIVE IT UP ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS HAVE A GOOD TIME CELEBRATE GO TO PARTIES GET DRUNK.
THEY ARE BETTER THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Oy, lighten up, get a life. Make mine a double!

How is it distasteful? “Simply put Hanukkah represents a better value because you get 8 nights for the price of 1 – much like Wodka, more for less.” They can drink it and make it last for 8 good nights. Besides it’s the truth.

Ah, the double standards one can perpetuate when one controls the media. The publically funded Brooklyn Museum depicts a Christ on a fallen crucifix being devoured by ants and the Jewish director, Arnold Lehman, calls it a great work of art. The anti defamation league says nothing.

A private company humorously uses an observation, probably an accurate one at that, to sell Vodka, and Abe Foxman and the boys are screaming another impending Holocaust, and their media is rallying behind them. There is no justice.

For the people, for the activities, for the charm of the world’s most picturesque meeting and
event sites – look to Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. We hope you will visit us soon and discover
just how memorable a meeting can be.

VERY BAD TASTE!! WAS IT WORTH IT???? YOU JUST OFFENDED A GROUP OF PEOPLE AND IT WAS TOTALLY UNECESSARY. Why put a ‘bug’ in people’s heads that only intend to hurt. There was no upside to this ad at all. Shame on you!!!

I wonder what increase in sales they would get, if the mentioned Ramadan ))

PS: Who even buys this stuff? i

Here’s proof Brian Gordon of MMG was talking about money…

Funny article. People just look into things too much. Get a grip. WODKA LOL, Trust me Jews aren’t cheap at all, they just know the value of a dollar.

Goes to show (ONCE AGAIN) who runs the media.

And about that “age old notion” about jews and money: where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

And I challenge anyone to dispute my 2 points without just the usual name calling. Because when anyone does that, all they show is that they have conceded the argument.

Panache Beverages, you just lost another customer!
There are plenty of other Vodkas out there.
Who ever sold you on this ad should be fired.

Panache Beverages!
You lost me as acustomer!
There are plenty of other Vodka’s.
Cheap shot. You should fire the person who sold you this bill of goods.

First of all I drink Absolut.I do not believe they meant any harm,still as a Jew I find it offensive.They need to remove the sign and issue an apology.

The ad is offensive to all people of good will because it repeats the old slur about those of the Jewish faith.

What is being done about financial public assistance being awarded to those who don’t deserve it?

people need to have a sense of humor

How dare they list Chanukah on the same billboard with that other disgraceful holiday.

no big deal. it was kind of cute.

Antisemitism is NOT funny. I can’t believe this concept ever was approved. Sick.

To double down on such a position, even after groups such as the ADL (http://adl.org/PresRele/ASUS_12/6176_12.htm) have called upon you to reconsider, is to take this beyond the realm of the unfortunate and to place it into the sphere of the deliberate.

- You don’t have to be Jewish to find anti-semitism offensive.

- Just cause you asked the black guy in your office doesn’t make it okay.

- Holidays are not in competition with each other. (a religious holiday celebrating an event is not in competition with other religious holidays)

Actions like yours create a culture of discrimination. It’s insidious and your advertisement raises age-old anti-semitic sterotypes about Jews and money. While you may claim that your original “inspiration for Hanukkah’s inclusion was anything but anti-semetic”, the end result was that you have used the Jewish holiday in an insensitive and inappropriate manner.

Hey, even the Pope takes a nip every now & then, in my book it’s no harm done. Enjoy!

Lets face it…IT”S TRUE…
