This anti-Semitic slur was paid for by you and me


There’s been some, um, discussion about Chrysler’s Super Bowl ad – the longest in the game’s 45-year history (Washington Examiner). Much of it centers around the fact that Chrysler blew $9 million (or thereabouts) on a Super Bowl ad while still owing the taxpayers billions of dollars.

Less well-known is what the head of Government Autos/B (not to be confused with Government Autos/A, better known as GM) said about the funding the spared his firm from bankruptcy at our expense (Detroit News):

“I am paying shyster rates,” Marchionne said, noting that Chrysler had no choice in 2009 but to pay the high interest rates the government set as part of its $15 billion Chrysler bailout. “We had no choice… I am going to pay the shyster loans.”

“Shyster”? Are you kidding me?

As if that wasn’t bad enough, Chrysler wants even more loans from the taxpayer (as noted in the Examiner piece: h/t From On High, BTW).

Marchionne has offered the usual boilerplate “regret” (Detroit Free-Press). Notice that there was no apology to anyone, let alone the followers of Judaism.

So while the Ford family puts the squeeze on – and lets the Detroit Lions atrophy in the process – to keep its car company private and profitable; Chrysler takes our money, and then its CEO turns around and hurls an anti-Semitic remark at his benefactors (i.e., us).

Sickening; just sickening.
