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.
The ADL's Abe Foxman wrote
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.
Well done Rabbi Foxman!
Instead of taking on the real 'anti-Zionists' in the Obama Administration for whom 'neocon' is a code word for dirty Jew, you go after a proven friend of Israel and the Jewish people who was merely pointing out the obvious..that the current Administration is planning to use a well worn stereotype to try to salvage its political fortunes.
Given Obama's Obama's "familial" relationship with Reverend Wright, his long standing relationship with Louis Farrakhan, the Saudis, the Nation of Islam and the rabidly anti-Semitic (oh, excuse me, 'anti-Zionist')Left, Limbaugh's observation was exactly right.
Limbaugh sees liberal, pro-Obama Jews as voting against their own interests. He's totally correct. This president only has a use for those Jews who are willing to bend over for the issues and individuals Obama supports.
If Rabbi Foxman and the ADL were really serious about ferreting out Jew haters, they ought to check out what's going on at sites like HuffPo and Daily Kos and other 'progressive' outlets and see what being spewed into the ozone there.
But of course, they won't. Because the ADL has a lot of Lefty donors who still delude themselves and continue to drink the Obama-ade.So only the most egregious Jew hatred on the Left ever gets targeted by the ADL.
Foxman will doubtless get a lot of applause from these self-deluding fools. But the ADL's NAACP-lite act is getting pretty tiresome,not to mention suicidal.
When you demonize your friends and give your real enemies a pass, you wake up one day to find out that your enemies are stronger and your friends are nowhere to be found.
Limbaugh said nothing that those with intelligence weren't thinking. We know that Obama and the left use bankers as a euphemism for "Jew" and that he is targeting the Jews both here and in the Middle East. We are not all self-deluded and stupid. Foxman and his lefite paymasters with their Nazis-collaborator friend Soros can go jump in the lake.
ReplyDeleteLimbaugh shoudl nto be quiet but call them out as traitors to the Jewish people like they are.
