Reply To: Ku Klux Karta..or Ku Klutz Karta?

BS”D

Freeky Freedy was outright mechalel shabbos on Shabbos Bereishis 5767 when he used a microphone (held by a ben yishmoel) to address a crowd of Arab tzoirerim in Berlin. If my Yiddish were better I would write a Purim song about this based on the fish song by Michoel Schnitzler that begins erev shabbos bryshis, fynem fish in flyshigs etc LOL.

Freeky, however, does not qualify (yet) as a shoiteh al pi halacha. If a couple of shtarkers would hit him over the head with a twenty five kilo dumbbell (which is what Freedy is at the end of the day), one of two things would happen. Either he would become a shoiteh al pi halacha, or more likely they would knock some sense into him and he would stop his shtus and apologize.

Bekitzur, the Ku Klutz Kartel (there, no more Karta either) are great to have around for a laugh or two at their expense.

In fact, last nitel nacht when I was watching a video of the Freedy speech at the rally I could not help but be reminded lehavdil a million times of a Lipa Schmeltzer performance.

The difference is that lehavdil when Lipa clowns around on stage, we laugh ALONG WITH him and all are besimcha. When Freeky Freedy reads from a prepared speech in German, making mistake after mistake and needing help from the Arab who is holding the mic for him on Shabbos, and his facial expression barely betrays the fact that he does not believe ONE WORD he is saying, we can only laugh AT the shmoiger (roshei teivois SHoiteh Menuval Ve Gas Ruach) as we see that his whole so-called ideology is but an inane show.
