Delmon Young
Looks like Major League Baseball player Delmon Young is about to get his mouth washed out with some tolerance.

Young pleaded guilty yesterday to an aggravated harassment charge stemming from an April incident in Manhattan where he shouted an anti-Semitic slur at a group of four men and then tackled one of them to the ground, according to a release from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

The altercation occurred outside of the Hilton New York hotel in Midtown during the early morning hours of April 27. Young's shitty behavior has earned him 10 days of community service and enrollment in the restorative justice program at the Museum of Tolerance New York.

And, Yes.The Museum of Tolerance New York is real.

New Jersey Town Has A Bit Of A Swastika Problem

swastikasjersey.jpg
This was found scribbled on a fence in Manalapan last week.
A New Jersey town currently has a problem that isn't directly related to it's simply being located in New Jersey: swastikas.

Last week, residents of Manalapan woke up to find at least a dozen swastikas and other hateful symbols scribbled on the sides of residential fences and buildings on one of the town's main drags.

In one case, the words "Kille the Jews" was spray-painted on the side of a fence.

Considering Manalapan is home to tens of thousands of Jewish families, the graffiti hasn't been well received.

Antisemitic "Rape Camp" Elmo's Real Name Is Dan -- And He's Kind Of A Perv

This is Dan Sandler (Not "Adam"). He started a website called "Welcome to Rape Camp." He now makes a living hugging kids in Central Park -- and the New York Times is protecting his identity.

The New York Times ran a story yesterday profiling a man who walks around Central Park hugging children while dressed as Elmo -- and whose antisemitic rant outside the Central Park Zoo was caught on tape earlier this week.

For whatever reason, the Times made a (poor) attempt to protect the man's true identity, referring to him in the article by his "legal name," "Adam Sandler."

Well, we've discovered that his real name is actually Dan Sandler -- and he's a bit on the perv-y side.

Sandler, as the Times points out (without giving his true identity), was arrested in Cambodia in 1999 after police caught wind of a website he was running called "Welcome to the Rape Camp."

We looked into the website -- pretty sick stuff.

The following is from a study done by the University of Rhode Island on sexual exploitation and the Internet in Cambodia. It was published in the Journal of Sexual Aggression in 2000:

Less than two weeks after a collection of swastikas were found spray-painted on several buildings in the Jewish Orthodox neighborhood of Boro Park, the hate-vandals appear to have struck again.

The latest swastika was found painted on a car outside of the offices of Hamodia, a Hebrew newspaper located at 207 Foster Avenue.

This is now the seventh swastika found in Boro Park in less than two weeks -- which has prompted Assemblyman Dov Hikind to offer a $5,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest.

If You're Spray-Painting Swastikas On Brooklyn Synagogues, Knock It Off

assholestep.jpg
A swastika is a pretty offensive symbol no matter where it's displayed. A swastika spray-painted on the side of a building in a Jewish neighborhood is extra offensive. When that building is a synagogue, you're flirtin' with a hate crime.

But that hasn't stopped a couple of dipshits from running around a Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn tagging various buildings -- including a synagogue -- with swastikas.

Anti-Semitism Round-Up: Galliano Fired at Dior, Charlie Sheen's Jew Fight and More!

Natalie Portman, the Oscar-winning, ballet-dancing, pregnant lady has officially spoken out against fashion designer John Galliano for making anti-Semitic remarks. Not long after, Christian Dior officially fired Galliano in response to his Hitler praising comments in a Paris bar, which became famous on the internet. Portman, the face of Dior's Miss Dior Cherie fragrance, said in her statement, "I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano's comments that surfaced today. In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way. I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful." (Portman should play Golda Meir for another surefire Oscar win!) But what's with all the anti-Semitism lately?
