Dave's an asshole who occasionally runs into another one of his own kind and gets what he deserves. That's why Jason Calacanis has been roughing him up for the last year, why Loren Feldman is now taking his turn, and why Eye on Winer has an audience. The idea we should all "respect [his] sensitivity" is comic. Fuck that, and fuck Winer.</p> Stop being an enabler, McD.

For me it’s like making fun of someone with a handicap. It’s cruel. Loren Feldman’s humor can be cruel. That’s my point. That’s also Dave’s point.

Dave probably has a good point on this one… Loren Feldman has a huge dose of bully in his “comedy” with the puppet videos. He could create a puppet that is just as funny and forget about them being based upon a real person: like Triumph the Insult Comic (dog).

If Loren is Jewish then he may also have a dose of self-hating that makes him want to target middle-age Jews and align with non-Jews.

I can’t imagine anyone wanting to be one of Loren’s targets. So, he has to pick out someone that has already offended a lot of people or the backlash would be greater.

I’m hoping Loren passes on targeting Winer. He’s too easily hurt by being made the brunt of jokes. Pick on someone that can take it.
