State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf wrote her college honors thesis on “how conservative evangelical support for Israel complicates U.S. foreign policy,” according to Indiana University records.
Harf’s thesis further illustrates the collegiate thinking in an Obama administration that has alienated a key American ally in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Harf, 33, previously worked on Obama’s 2012 campaign.
Harf’s Indiana University honors political science professor said that Harf did not plan to pursue political science like her professor father Jim, but that she ended up becoming “pretty good” at it.
“I always had a soft spot for Jim, since he first helped me realize I might be good at this line of work, and for Marie, who initially had no intention of following in her father’s footsteps but who turned out to pretty good at political analysis herself,” the professor said.
Harf generated controversy this week for saying that the way to combat terrorists like ISIS is to help get them jobs.
“But we cannot win this war by killing them, we cannot kill our way out of this war,” Harf said on Chris Matthews’ MSNBC program. “We need, in the longer term, medium and longer term, to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it’s lack of opportunity for jobs.”
Harf later doubled down on her remarks, saying that her view is simply too nuanced for media commentators to ingest.
“Longer term, we cannot kill every terrorist around the world, nor should we try,” Harf told CNN. “How do you get at the root causes of this? Look, it might be too nuanced an argument for some, like I’ve seen over the past 24 hours some of the commentary out there, but it’s really the smart way that Democrats, Republicans, military commanders, our partners in the Arab world think we need to combat this.”
Harf’s comments have been widely mocked through the #JobsForISIS Twitter hasthtag.
Why am I not surprised?
Is it me, or does Harf look like Pajama Boy’s sister?
“Harf’s Indiana University honors political science professor said that Harf did not plan to pursue political science like her professor father Jim, but that she ended up becoming “pretty good” at it.”
Actually she sucks at it,whats she going to do after she is shit canned by the new admin?
Teach...Probably as thats where useless libs do best
YEP! Evangelical Christian support in America certainly does complicate things for those who want to DESTROY ISRAEL!!
They don't do anything best. Not even teach. The most you can say is:
Teach... as that's where libs get hired the easiest.
Oh dear Lord, she’s an IU grad!
Did she ever graduate? She sure doesn't act like it.
Plenty of employment opportunities here...

It is staggering that these leftists are so utterly and completely brain dead dumb. We just need to sit back, get killed and maimed, while Ms. Harf works out how to build a few McDonald's for the locals so they can get a job and give up beheading people and blowing people up.
Yeah, way too nuanced for me. Really, Liberals are some of the dumbest people on the planet. Oh, they convince themselves they are brilliant, but they are dumber than dirt.
Another Harfism.
I took a PoliSci class in college. It took me about 3 weeks and one test to learn that if I wanted to pass the class, I had to (pretend to) agree with the Professor.
Educated far beyond her intelligence.
So decades of US support of Israel (or for any country that is struggling to remain free) is the result of mistaken Conservative ideas?
Marie Harf is what happens when you can’t make it as a pornstar.
Yeah, but she wrote it with pink ink and put hearts and smiley faces in the margins so it was, like, really cute.
I wouldn’t have guessed that she was capable of writing a thesis based on her press communications.
That is probably insulting to a few but not to most of them.
So let’s say some conservative student, somewhere, would write a thesis on How Liberal Support for Iran Complicates US Foreign Policy... The student would probably be tailed, if not arrested, and the thesis failed by the prof.
Harfwit is even worse than Pipi Longpsaki. But Pipi is a bigger *itch.
The Harfunist probably has no shame anyway.
