After expressing his support for the war.....
"I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq, down to the lizards ... And may George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq."
According to a report in the Roanoke (Virginia) Times, a man who was introduced as Boraq Sagdiyev from Kazakhstan -- in reality a Cohen character named Borat -- appeared at the rodeo over the weekend after organizers agreed to have him sing the national anthem.
After telling the crowd he supported America's war on terrorism, he said, "I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq (news - web sites), down to the lizards ... And may George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq." He then sang a garbled version of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
The Roanoke Times reported that the crowd turned "downright nasty." One observer said "If he had been out there a minute longer, I think somebody would have shot him."
Cohen and his film crew were escorted out of the Salem Civic Center and told to leave the premises.
"Had we not gotten them out of there, there would have been a riot," rodeo producer Bobby Rowe told the paper. "They loaded up the van and they screeched out of there."
It is not the first time Cohen has wooed controversy with his show, which airs on Channel 4 in the UK and on HBO in the United States. In one episode last year, Borat sang an anti-Semitic song called "Throw the Jew Down the Well" at a U.S. country music bar, prompting protests from the U.S-based Anti-Defamation League.

I dont know if you have seen this guy, but when he is Borat he does some outlandishly hillarious things. I have the first season on DVD and I cant wait for the second to come out and this episode should be good. This guy is known to not break character even when the heat is cranked up real high.

This is my favorite character, I dont know if anyone has seen any of his skits but there are a few in particular that really stand out. This character is very racist, especially against jewish people, in fact he is the one that sang "throw the jew down the well" a few months back and took so much heat for it, ironically, the guy who plays this character is jewish. There is one where he is looking to buy a home in FL and asks the realtor so many funny questions, i.e. Why is the bed so big since my wife sleeps in her cage and to make sure the door to the bathroom is quiet when she is taking a crap because she is so loud, etc, etc....

Yes, he is from Kazakstan :p
I like the hip hop guy that interviews real important people. The round table discussion on "Homosapiens" is insane.
