Yid With Lid: He was giving the key note speech at a Washington Institute For Near East Policy and started it out with a "joke" that borders on anti-Semitic, teaching the crowd that Jews are just greedy merchants in the same vein as Shakespeare's Shylock...

If that joke were told as you posited, I would think that the joke was on the Nazi because he’s pretty stupid. Would we think the Jewish merchants were greedy if we inserted dumb blonds in the joke?
I’m glad you made the point that you were not comparing people like Jones, Petraeus and McChrystal to Qjuisling or Petain. As I said previously, lets judge these men by their actions. I have criticized numerous former military men on here such as Wesley Clarke, John Murtha and Joe Sestack. But I criticized them for their policies, their actions and what they believed. Not because they were associated with Obama.
I do I also saw what she looks like on facebook and it was EEK
You may think the joke funny, but how do you get "pretty stupid" for asking for water or "clever" for refusing water to someone in need and gaming him instead?
The blunt of this joke may be subjective but the object of it's ethical judgment is not. It is "the Jews." And someone in General Jones' position knows it.
Nice video. Thank you.
I live near there so I understand just what you are saying. I don’t talk to most people.
Meanwhile Germany is supplying Israel with subs.
I'd say that even in a time where America had good relations with Israel this statement doesn't just border on anti-Semitic but is a prime example of it.
Good grief. Grow up. The moderators occasionally make mistakes, get over it.
Liberal idiots like this that depict Israeli Jews in such a bad light and then wonder why there can never be peace.
It always reminds me of that scene from the movie Independence Day where they have the Alien Captured by Will Smith and he breaks free in the operating room and from behind the glass the President asks if there can ever be a peace... the alien replies “Peace, no Peace” The President frustrated then says well what is it that you want us to do? the Alien responds “DIE, DIE” that is the typical Islamic Radical fundamentalist response to the state of Israel.
Ignorant Liberals like Obama will require the Deaths of hundreds of thousands of Israeli’s before he is willing to lift a finger in their defense. Its like the liberals want proof that people are actually trying to kill us as if 911 wasn’t enough proof.
Obama must need his own 911 but I fear at that time it will be too late.
Showing up a bit late aren’t ya? You have your facts a bit askew.....but thats ok.....
No sweetie, I read the entire thread and you're behaving like a child. GET OVER IT!
The mods aren't perfect and they work for free. Give them a break, you got your apology and your comment was restored.
This is typical..... In order to lure the Muslim business people to America he has to entice them with these type of Jokes and a wink and an nod so they know what SIDE... he is on...

it really is amazing in those two towns near you, how the people can be so uppity.
I asked her would she have a problem wit he projects getting built at the back of her seeing as all of a sudden she loves diversity and her answer was no
i asked why and she said that they have worked hard to live there so why should he area be ruined
seems that diversity is for us poorer blue collar types
As for the German thing I was told by her that anyone buying German is to welcome in his house because of what happened.
Now I understand how their is a lot of blame to go around but those today and a lot of Germans had nothing to do with it so why hold those responsible and why make them suffer for what they have not done.
For a couple who love diversity and think of us poorer folk then their views are nothing but elitist and pure snobbery. Much like many on the far left
I don’t know how you live there, you must certainly put up with a lot
My wife calls me sweetie........good night HUN.....
Are we surprized that the Mulim Terrorist-in-Chief picked this “BIDEN” Basshat as his Chief of National Insecurity?
Maybe the 90 % of Jewish Voters who Voted for the Muslim Terrorist-In-Chief will finally rethink their Bizzarely Ignorant and Stupid Collective Decision which is clearly Dangerous to their Futures anywhere in the World!...:-(
AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN!! Unless Someone Freaks OUT about the MAD MUSLIM! and then its Under the BUS for the Unfortunate Patriot!
Did you actually listen to or read the joke? It IS about Muslims. The butt of the joke is a Taliban.
She could be a ‘10’ and still be a nightmare.
Someone depicted as being refused that water by a man who directs him to his brother, who also refuses him and sends him back to return with something from the 1st brother - you see as stupid?
But, the 1st man who refused him the water and instead sent him on a wild goose chase - you see as clever?
Get real!
While the brunt of the deception in the story was on the Muslim, the judgment provoked by the joke is clearly against the deceiver - "the Jew."
How can some people be honestly so clueless? Or are they really?
