The fictional charachter is [anti-semitic], the real life actor isn't and I believe Sacha reveals his political persausion, in a satirical way, at the rodeo...
"My Name is Borat, I come from Kazakhstan"
*Small applause*
"Can I say at first, we support your war of terror"
*Loud cheer*
"May we show our support for the boys in Iraq"
*Massive cheer*
"May the US and A kill every single terrorist"
*Massive cheer*
"May your George Bush drink the blood of every single man, woman and child of Iraq"
*Cheer starts loud but dies fairly quickly*
"May you destroy their country so that for the next thousand years not even a single lizard will survive in their desert"
*Small cheer starts but quickly becomes polite clapping*
