Appearances On Television
Rubin also made a number of televised appearances during his lifetime. These include a lively 1988 debate on Crossfire with black nationalist Steve Cokely, shortly following a controversial lecture Cokely gave in which he believed that Jewish doctors were inoculating black babies with the HIV virus, appearing on the History Channel documentary Nazi America: A Secret History, and a memorable June 1998 appearance on the Jerry Springer Show where he and his bodyguards (Al and Joseph whom both were not Jewish) rushed to defend him from members of the Ku Klux Klan after the leader of the KKK sucker punched him in the face while wearing a yarmulke.

Famous quotes containing the words appearances and/or television:
“Truth has scarce done so much good in the world as the false appearances of it have done hurt.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.”
—New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
