AIPAC’s Ovation for Trump is Not at All Surprising
The Daily Beast ^ | 22 March 2016 10:39am ET | staff

Posted on 03/22/2016 3:33:32 PM PDT by blueplum

My friends at the AIPAC conference are shocked, shocked that so many fellow attendees gave Donald Trump an ovation last night.

Just like my Republican friends are shocked that so many fellow Republicans have voted for him.

Why the surprise, though? Is it at all surprising that a rightward-tilting, nationalistic, often-anti-Muslim pep rally of 18,000 people (many paid to be there by a handful of billionaires) would applaud a rightward-tilting, nationalistic, often-anti-Muslim leader of pep rallies?

The weirdest shock of all, though, came from AIPAC itself, whose leader apologized this morning for Trump’s having insulted President Obama. Choking back tears, AIPAC’s new president, Lillian Pinkus, said that “we deeply respect the office of the president of the United States and President Obama … We are deeply disappointed that so many people applauded a sentiment that we neither agree with nor condone.”

I think they applauded Hillary when she spoke as well.

There is another kind of shock that folks would love to have the left affected by.

I vote for at least 20KV or more.

For a good long time.

Until well done.

Oh, forgot, as for insulting Dorkbama the Muslim, how can one insult a one brain celled semi-sentient being with no intelligence, no morality, no civility, no ability, and no education that pretends that he once had a real job?

Sorry, Daily Beast, but YOUR president is an idiot.

“...We are deeply disappointed that so many people applauded a sentiment that we neither agree with nor condone...”

“I” am deeply disappointed that so many people applauded a sentiment that “I” neither agree with nor condone...

There...Fixed that....

Sounds like the same denial the GOPe/ RINO made experiencing.

Stockholm-syndrome leftist Jews.

Oh if we were only a little nicer to these Allah-mad jihadists they would just hang it all up and get kissy faced. How horrible to say we want to stop jihadists.

Well it will need a larger force to get those haters to do that, than nice wishes.

“I vote for at least 20KV or more.”

It’s more than just the voltage that counts.

Paid to be there? LOL! Lefties always accuse others of their own crimes.

The vast majority of American Jews are liberal weenies. Screw them. If they want support, they have to give support.

Since Pinkus disapproves of so many of her constituents, maybe she should resign or those constituents could remove her.

Obama has all but bombed and invaded Israel himself.

What kind of lunatic delusions do these people operate under?

One gains an understanding of how timorous collaborators help bring about the most appalling of outcomes.

true. But only Trump was able to tease out into the light of day the simmering conflict within AIPAC itself. Only Trump was able to make a leftie cry with a single ‘yay’. And that works for me.

If it’s any consolation this is nothing new, it’s a story as old as the bible.

It would be wrong to screw them though. They’re screwing themselves. God doesn’t put up with this forever.
