Pedlar of hate

France’s interior minister, Manuel Valls, announced on Friday that he would try to legally ban performances by French comic and actor Dieudonné, who has frequently been accused of anti-Semitism.
Dieudonné is a friend of Marine Le Pen, that says it all.

Performing onstage, Dieudonné said about prominent French Jewish radio journalist Patrick Cohen: “Me, you see, when I hear Patrick Cohen speak, I think to myself: ‘Gas chambers…too bad [they no longer exist].”
Val says  Comic, I think not. Comics are supposed to make you laugh and feel good.
