ADL: Rush Limbaugh Reaches New Low With 'Borderline Anti-Semitic' Remarks About Jews
ADL ^ | January 21, 2010 | Abraham Foxman

Posted on 01/21/2010 7:02:38 PM PST by Pope Pius XII

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said Rush Limbaugh reached a new low with "borderline anti-Semitic comments" on his radio show, in which he raised the possibility that liberal Jews were having "buyer's remorse" with President Obama in light of the outcome of the Senate election in Massachusetts.

Limbaugh told his listeners: "To some people, banker is a code word for Jewish; and guess who Obama is assaulting? He's assaulting bankers. He's assaulting money people. And a lot of those people on Wall Street are Jewish. So I wonder if there's – if there's starting to be some buyer's remorse there."

Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:

Rush Limbaugh reached a new low with his borderline anti-Semitic comments about Jews as bankers, their supposed influence on Wall Street, and how they vote.

Limbaugh's references to Jews and money in a discussion of Massachusetts politics were offensive and inappropriate. While the age-old stereotype about Jews and money has a long and sordid history, it also remains one of the main pillars of anti-Semitism and is widely accepted by many Americans. His notion that Jews vote based on their religion, rather than on their interests as Americans, plays into the hands of anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists.

When he comes to understand why his words were so offensive and unacceptable, Limbaugh should apologize.

0bama is the anti-semite, waging a covert war against jews with code words and proxies.
Rush is only sounding the alarms.

Abe Foxman is just cranky because his leftist agenda got sidetracked by Scott Brown.

Someone needs tell Foxman the story of the boy who cried wolf. The ADL just seems more and more petty the past few years.

Rush is hardly anti Semitic.
The question needs to be asked of liberal Jews.
What are they thinking ?

>" So when Rush says something that Foxman obviously agrees with, Rush is being anti-Semitic? "

It doesn't matter what Rush said.

It's what they think he thought that counts!

Since when do they ever correctly quote him?

I am Jewish, and Limbaugh was dead-on. Almost every Jew I know has buyer's remorse. He is a Muslim-loving Jew-basher, and a mortal threat to Israel. The JINOs who surround him like Axelrod and Emannuel are vile creatures.

And that fat shitbag Abe Foxman doesn't speak for me and never has. Rock on, Rush!

Rush never fails to stand up and be counted when it comes to his support of Israel.

Foxman can blow it out his ass.

The real anti-Semites live on the left.

Probably deserves another thread, but I, for one, have wondered for decades why Jews vote liberal every election cycle. I've heard a hundred explanations, none of which ever made sense.

At the risk of sounding anti-semitic (I'm not. I'm actually a very strong supporter of Beebe and Israel), if you worked hard all your life to achieve wealth, why would you vote time after time for higher taxes? As well, why would you vote time after time for the party that consistently takes the side of the Palestinians and other anti-Israel countries?

The ADL has credibility only with left wing moonbats and the Goebbel’s press.

Abraham H. Foxman needs to start supporting Israel and make Aliyah. He espouses his Jewishness, but does not adhere to the Torah teachings.

I don't have an anti-Semitic bone in my body, and I know for a fact that it's not just a stereotype. So what? Like Chris Rock said, why do Jewish people hate it when people say they're good with money? I'd LIKE to have that reputation.

His notion that Jews vote based on their religion, rather than on their interests as Americans, plays into the hands of anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists.

Whether their votes are based on religion or not, they do tend to vote as a block. And they vote for the party of the people who hate them. There is no more uniformly anti-semitic group in America today than the Democrat Party (remember the Hillary "F'ing Jew B@$t@rd comment?). Abraham Foxman is an ignorant fool, blinded by ideology, an ideology that has killed literally millions of his co-religionists - socialism.

When he comes to understand why his words were so offensive and unacceptable, Limbaugh should apologize.

Abe, how about when you realize what a G-d D@mned humorless idiot you are you apologize to Rush, and to the rest of us, for letting your ideology guide you to help elect a dangerous incompetent to the Presidency.
