NEWS ITEM: In doing press for the new AMC series 4th and Loud -- about his KISS-branded Arena Football League team - Gene Simmons was asked if he had followed the Donald Sterling incident.
"I'm on the side of Sterling," he replied. Although he admits Sterling is "heinous," he opines that he should have been let off with a fine, since the rant occurred in private.
He went on to insinuate that all people make racist rants or off-color jokes in private: "Because you say an off-color joke or make a racist rant privately, that causes you to lose a job -- nobody would have a job!"
EDITORIAL: Sorry, Gene, but I don’t make “racist rants,” Nor do any of my friends. The reason for this is because – unlike you apparently – we’re not racists. (All of this is painfully ironic, of course, considering the fact that you’re Jewish.)
