Vegas run by gays and Jews, says magician

Swedish magician Joe Labero has provoked a strong reaction with suggestions that Las Vegas is controlled by "Jewish business syndicates, American dollar millionaires and homosexual booking agents".

The magic master's comments were made in an interview with rail company SJ's on-board magazine Kup�.

As a prelude to his controversial thesis, Labero explained that he has long been close to getting his own show in Las Vegas.

"But at the end of the day it seems to be impossible - unless you are a homosexual, a Jew or an American.

"I don't mean to sound prejudiced of course, I'm just cynical. A blond Swedish Viking will have a hard time breaking through the hierarchies that control Vegas, where power rests in the hands of Jewish business syndicates, American dollar millionaires and homosexual booking agents.

I guess that settles it then.

This reads like someone doing a satire of identity politics.

The Swedes Rock.

1. They love hockey.
2. They love heavy metal.
3. They speak English better than most Englishmen do.

Never heard of this guy. Labero doesn't sound like your typical Swedish last name. Anyway, his comments kind of went too far and sound very dumb. So you can't get too far without being American. Really?
I can't really comment about Las Vegas, but what is the connection between those three groups? And who the heck is this guy, anyway?
Is he really important?

1) No, not "ALL" (key operative word here)

2) As i understand it "Jews" per se are not the issue (this is a RED HERRING); ZIONIST FANATICS are.

3) What was the exact purpose of your question? You baiting? Confused

4) This cynical Swede's perspective is likely more accurate than you'd like to admit.

Yes I'm a notorious IGTG baiter. Read my newspaper lately? Der IGTG Str�mmer? "Die Igotthisguitaren sind unser Ungl�ck!"
