Mad Lib of the Day: Mother Jones' Nick Baumann - RNC Facebook is Anti-semitic

Even after this news story:

McMahon Campaign Hits Grimm For Taking "Jewish Money" where Democrat McMahon's campaign compiled a list of Jewish donors to his Republican challenger and provided it to the Politicker, it seems Nick Baumann, number 9 on the Journolist and Mother Jones journalist, is really interested in looking for the existence of anti-semitism in the GOP.

In his latest article, Baumann uses posts from commenters on the RNC's Facebook page as his evidence:

The GOP's Facebook Anti-Semites

Israel is responsible for 9/11, Al Qaeda is "100% state sponsored by Zionist Jews," and White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is actually an agent for Mossad, the Israeli spy agency—at least according to posts that appeared on the Republican National Committee's Facebook page.

Who posted this? Michael Steele?

Several avowedly anti-Semitic commenters regularly posted on the national GOP's Facebook wall, encouraging tea partiers and "White, Black, Spanish, [and] Asian" people to "arm yourselves" and rise up against the "Zionist Jews" who, they claim, control the country and the media. They linked to a site that hosts purported versions of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" and promoted 9/11 "truth" theories that allege "Israeli agents carried out the attacks."

Commenters? Are you kidding me? Anybody, including whackjob liberals who want to make the RNC look anti-semitic, can become a fan of that page, thus leaving comments like this.

I saw a post yesterday where someone looked up the names from the screenshots of those who posted those comments and several were fans of Obama and a few weren’t even from this country.

How much you want to bet these were Mother Jones employees ‘creating’ the story?
