Pelosi: Republican Jews 'Being Exploited'

Daniel Halper

In an interview, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi said that she believes Republican Jews are "being exploited," but she was sure to add, "And they're smart people."

Pelosi made the comments in response to whether Jewish voters would support President Barack Obama in the presidential election later this year.

"I think [Obama] will" win the Jewish vote, Pelosi said, when pressed on the subject. "I think that he will, because the fact is when the facts get out. You know, as many of the Republicans are using Israel as an excuse, what they really want are tax cuts for the wealthy. So Israel, that can be one reason they put forth."

The interviewer then added, "That’s why some of the Republican Jewish supporters are really active." 

Pelosi responded, "Well, that’s how they’re being exploited. And they’re smart people. They follow these issues. But they have to know the facts. And the fact is that President Obama has been the strongest person in terms of sanctions on Iran, which is important to Israel. He’s been the strongest person on whether it’s Iron Dome, David’s Sling, any of these weapons systems and initiatives that relate to Israel. He has been there over and over again."

The interview was conducted by Bloomberg's Al Hunt

Note: William Kristol: "Pelosi: President Obama's Been to Israel 'Over and Over Again.'"

Isn’t that what the anti-Semites always say...”[Jews]they’re smart people.”

When a Sicilian mobsters daughter tells me the Jews are smart i’m sure she’s up to no good.

They do. But the Jewish comedian Jackie Mason says the fact that most Jews vote for Democrats proves that Jews don’t like the “they’re smart” stereotype.

You’re being extremely unfair to Sheila Jackson-Lee.

Jews don’t like the “they’re smart” stereotype.

Well then, how do they feel about the 'rich' stereotype? Or, to put it another way, are they offended by Pelosi's comment, "what they really want are tax cuts for the wealthy. "

When Pelosi says ‘and they are smart people’ is she implying that certain other groups are NOT smart people??

HUNT: Should Mitt Romney be pressured by Democrats to release his previous tax returns?

PELOSI: I think he’s being pressured by the Republicans to release his tax returns.

HUNT: But how about Democrats? Is that an issue that you and the president and others should raise with him?

PELOSI: As I said, as far as Mitt Romney is concerned, I’m concerned about his policies -

HUNT: So you don’t really think that releasing his tax returns should be a big deal?

PELOSI: I think not releasing them is a big deal.

HUNT: Well, why don’t House members release theirs then?

PELOSI: Because we’re not running for president of the United States.

HUNT: But you’re a co-equal branch of government, aren’t you?

PELOSI: Well, when we all run for president, then we’ll have to take that into consideration. He could not even be a member of his own cabinet -

HUNT: Thank you very much, Congresswoman Pelosi, for being with us.

PELOSI: Thank you.

She's implying that smart people don't vote Republican.

Which begs the question, how would she know?

“”I think [Obama] will” win the Jewish vote, Pelosi said, when pressed on the subject.”


Obozo won 78% of the Jewish vote in ‘08 before Jews were able to see his unabated antisemitism...if Romney pulls in 35%-40% of the Jewish vote obozo is toast...

I don’t think Jackie Mason was serious about Jews not liking the “they’re smart” stereotype. He’s a Jew, a comic, and a good Republican as baffled as us about why Jews do something as inherently against their self-interest as voting for the Democrats. As to how they like the “rich Jew” stereotype, I’d read right over that ugly stereotype. That seems even more invidious to me. Hey, wanna bet the mainstream media hammers her over it?

Hey, for you maybe but I'd really like to be known as a rich guy. Not a whole lot rich, but maybe 2, 3 billion perhaps.

Make me happy and you could call me all day long and I wouldn't answer!

Allowing Iran to get nukes is the equivalent to voting for Hitler. Don’t see how any Jew could support the destruction of Israel.

Pelosi also liked Obama, being a clean, black man and all.

One thing that can't go unnoticed about the RATS.....they consistently blame pubbies for misdeeds that THEY are engaged. Talk about exploitation...thinks of the blacks, the Hispanics and the Jews.
