Recently, a local treasure here in Detroit passed away. Sonny Eliot who was one of the funniest broadcasters ever; passed away a few days ago. It would seem that someone like Sonny Eliot would be exempted from controversy or even criticism from the PC liberal left.

Well, if you believed that, you would be wrong. Dateline Detroit, a left-wing liberal rag website has brought the long knives out to capitalize on a dead man’s memory:

Broadcast colleagues and media acquaintances speak of Sonny Eliot, the 91-year-old Detroit weathercaster Sonny Eliot who died at home Friday, with affection, admiration and acknowledgment that he definitely was a piece of work.

Recollections shared publicly and privately provide glimpses of a brash, brazen figure who enjoyed crossing boundaries and grabbing attention.

Back when his career was accelerating, “hostile environment” described icy roads in Engadine, not workplace behavior. He reflected the tone of that Mad Men era and continued to do so, insiders suggest.

This hit piece on Sonny Eliot goes on to talk about some of Sonny’s antics off the air, some of which are anonymous; which were reserved for the worst of the comments about the man. Some of you out-of-town folk may not know this, but Sonny Eliot was not the man’s real name. His real name was Marvin Schlossberg and he was Jewish. (Thanks to Jewish in the D for that information.) I have to really wonder, what was Alan Stamm’s motivation for writing such a slanderous article?

Could it be that Alan is, like his fellow Democrats; slouching towards Hitler-like Jewish hatred?  It is no coincidence that Israel now is fighting for its very existence. Now you have someone who is writing for a publication that bills itself as the “homegrown media revolution.” Revolution against what, the Jews?

Let me just say this:  I am not trying to play the Semite card here, at all. However, I found this article to be quite distasteful and morbid, seeing that the man recently passed away. Sonny Eliot was a different person from a much different era; sort of like my Father, and it very much miffs me, when some ideology driven media hack decides to slander and defame a man, after he is dead. Whatever happened to just saying that he was a nice man and leave the rest of the stuff alone?

The one quote that really miffed me was this one:

However, another anecdote passed along by a longtime print reporter is edgier and less amusing:

Amid all the Sonny Eliot tributes, I won’t [publicly] mention the time I was alone with him in an elevator and he asked: “Did you know that a woman is raped every 60 seconds in America?” Then, as the doors opened and I fled: “Got a minute?

In other words, he made that part up. No name mentioned, just a random anonymous quote that most likely he made up, to make his slander piece sound good. All to defame a well-known, and well-loved, Jewish man.

In closing: I really hate having to write articles like this; but, by golly, sometimes these things just need to be said. In this day and age of so-called “Democratic Journalism” where there is no integrity, this sort of tripe is allowed and accepted. Well, this is one blogger that is not going to allow this sort of bovine excrement got unchallenged. I am not Jewish, and I have no Jewish heritage at all. However, if I were, I would be shouting from the rooftops about this slanderous article about a Jewish man, who simply sought to make others happy.

It is truly a sad time in America; when even the dead cannot even get any sort of peace from the PC police.
