Joan Rivers to Anti-Defamation League: "Don't Talk to Me About the Holocaust"

[Purveyor]

Joan Rivers has a message for the folks at the Anti-Defamation League: Mind your own business.

The funnylady tells E! News that the watchdog group has bigger fish to fry rather than calling her out for comparing Costco to Nazi Germany after the warehouse chain giant allegedly banned her new book, I Hate Everyone…Starting With Me, due to profanity.

"Number one, my husband lost most of his family in Auschwitz, so don't talk to me about the Holocaust," Rivers tells E!, defending the analogy. "Number two, banning books anywhere is a bad portent. Number three, the ADL should worry more about the world's attitude toward Israel than waste time and energy on me, because I'm not going to stop saying what I think."

Don't we know it!

Costco's decision not to carry her tome prompted Rivers to stage an in-store protest on Tuesday in which she handcuffed herself to a shopping cart. She also brought along a megaphone, shouting, "Costco should not be like Nazi Germany! Next thing they'll be burning the Bible."

1. can't stand that woman. fuck her and her plastic face.

[Xipe Totec]

2. Just when I think she's become irrelevant

She does something to make me love her all over again.

3. re: "my husband lost most of his family in Auschwitz"

Since when does one "suffer" by marriage?

Sorry, I think she's being an insensitive asshole. I'm with the ADL.

4. not to mention that Costco not carrying her book doesn't constitute "banning"

[dsc]

13. seriously?

First of all her husband did kill himself but not only that of course a spouse is going to suffer when their spouse has.

[hlthe2b]

16. So that gives her free license to make light of the

entire Holocaust and Naziism? BUllSHIT. And, while I always respected her (and still do) for the way in which she picked her self up and succeeded after her husband's suicide, it is ludicrous to claim victimhood based on someone else's first hand suffering.

5. COSTCO no longer carries MM movies and books. Now they sell Bill O'Reilly's tripe.

But I don't see a private company banning her book to be government censorship. Of course at the rate the GOP is privatizing every damn thing, there will soon be little difference.

[Scootaloo]

6. "Handcuffed herself to a shopping cart."

Oh jeeze... What was the blood level in her martinistream?

[joeybee12]

7. Joan is great, hilarious, and of course, right...

I've heard more than one Jewish comedian use a holocaust reference, so I don't understand why they're targeting her.

[cali]

8. wow. I've never met anyone who thnks she's funny

[Fozzledick]

14. I thought she was good in 'Brazil'.

[Brother Buzz]

9. Is this the same washed-up has been celebrity that brown-noses Donald Trump?

Never, ever, get in a lifeboat with her.

[Honeycombe8]

10. I like a lot of things about Rivers. You gotta hand it to her, what she's done with her career...

when everything was stacked against her. She started out when there were no female comedians, just about. She's tough and persistent, and constantly reinvents herself, and lands on her feet. A survivor.

But in this instance, it was not carried (or banned) from Costco because of the foul language ON THE BACK COVER. They have a rule, I guess, where they don't accept books with bad language that is easily seen by the public....on the cover. A legitimate rule for a business that sells to families.

I wonder if Sam's is carrying her book?

11. Botox poisoning. That's got to be it.

Folks chain themselves to shopping carts, and worse.

Terrible disease.

[RebelOne]

15. No Botox, just lots of plastic surgery

has sort of affected her brain. But I like her anyway.

[Broderick]

12. She made a bad analogy

and she is quite hard to look at; not sure what her appeal is. I won't buy the book. Enough hate in world to read about her hate.

[Raine]

17. I can't stand her, she's OBNOXIOUS. nt
