I responded to a negative comment about uncircumcised men on YouTube. I got some creepy responses. Seems like the foreskin-haters are also racist.
Here are the replies to my comment:

tropicreyn has replied to your comment on Infant Genital Mutilation Ban Deemed Unworthy of Vote: @FanForeskin CA just passed a law that no city or county can outlaw male circumcision. The Senate also has a bill that will insure a parental right to circumcise their son(s)…….Sorry, but white America is still circumcising! No one wants their kid to have a wetback dick! You can reply back by visiting the comments page.

And here’s another I received:

tropicreyn has replied to your comment on My Mutilation Story: @FanForeskin Sorry, white Americans are still circumcising at a rate of 80% +! The only fly in the oinment are the damn wetbacks that breed like rabbits and do not circumcise….ANIMALS! You can reply back by visiting the comments page.

The video that started it all is by a really attractive college guy who’s restoring his foreskin. I love his videos.

Looks like the good guys lost this time. Or did they?

ABC News reports:
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Loretta Giorgi ruled Thursday that the measure to criminalize circumcision must be withdrawn from the November ballot because it would violate a California law that makes regulating medical procedures a state — not a city — matter.

So baby boys won’t be protected from over-eager parents and the doctor’s scalpel, but this proposed ban has done an amazing job of raising the issue of male genital mutilation. Circumcisions will continue in San Francisco, but parents around the United States will likely give some thought about butchering their baby boy’s prepuce. I’d call this a victory!

I’ve always loved the work the ACLU has done on behalf of gay rights. But now they are being stupid:

ACLU tries to block San Francisco’s circumcision ban
From The Bay Citizen: The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California on Friday filed a friend of the court brief in support of an effort to block a proposed circumcision ban in San Francisco.

This also surfaced today. Seems like a connection there. Another reason why believing myths (religion, foreskin is unclean) is dangerous!

US judge awards payout for botched circumcision
From APF: LOS ANGELES — A US judge on Monday approved a $4.6 million compensation payment for a boy who had the end of his penis removed in a botched circumcision shortly after birth. The boy, who is now eight, underwent the operation when he was week-old baby in January 2003 at the Maternity Center of Vermont in Los Angeles, and still needs counseling to deal with the trauma, court papers said. Surgeon Anthony Pickett used a clamp for the routine operation to remove the boy’s foreskin, but mistakenly cut off the top of the penis due to the faulty design of a clamp used during the procedure.

Here’s a strange thing I saw on a comic book news site called Bleeding Cool News. (If you like comics, it’s the best news site out there!)

Again, someone is calling an intactivist anti-semitic. Seems like some are trying to quiet the anti-circ movement by calling anyone who speaks up against genital mutilation anti-Jew. It’s just not true. Religions are all equally stupid. Ancient rituals that demand body parts sliced off in the name of fictitious deities are crazy no matter what religion or reason.

The Foreskin Man comic book has been attacked non-stop for the past few weeks for their portrayal of a mohel (the evil Monster Mohel—a wicked Rabbi) in what many are calling a negative Jewish stereotype. They may be right. The creators of Foreskin Man may regret having gone too far. Sometimes we go to far when we are passionate about a cause. I know I have. But is Foreskin Man a Jew-hater? Or does he just hate this one aspect of Jewish, Muslim and American culture? I’m worried that this guy is taking so much fire when there are real anti-semites out there. It’s like when gay group GLAAD inexplicably goes after gay-allies like Kevin Smith or Family Guy when there are real homophobes on the air, in sports and on the radio. Some reports are saying that the portayal of the one mohel in the Foreskin Man comic book has derailed the anti-circ laws in San Francisco and Southern California. It’s become a really big deal. Or maybe it’s just a slow news cycle.

What do you think? Is Foreskin Man anti-semitic? Or is this a bunch of hot air over nothing?
