And it remains just that, your opinion.

Contrary to your tired claims of racism there is ample hate to be seen on both sides of the aisle.

Funny, I was just thinking how this thread was a useful barometer of reflexive antisemitism thinly masquarading as criticism of Israel that the antismites believe Israel's Prime Minister should stand there and say nothing while the head of its putative "ally" suggests it should return to its pre-1967 borders, and by extension might as well return to its pre-1948 borders. Throw in the well-worn "if you critizise the Black president you're racists" trope for good measure and it becomes a self-parody.

This was just a couple of days ago, right at the entrance to Union Station (an entrance I've walked through a time or two myself)

Flash Mob!

Uhm... yeah, this is a lot like getting fashion advice from Lady Gaga. In both cases, I'll take it exactly for what it's worth.

BTW, flash mobs are so 2009.

Wow. Really? The disrespect some of you so-called patriotic Americans demonstrate for the country's president is disgusting. Disagree with his policies, dislike the way you think he interacts with other nations; but to hate the man so rabidly that you wish for the president (and ultimately our country) to fail, is beyond comprehension. Constructive dialogue for solutions is what we need. However, there is nothing constructive about cheering on our country's derailment because of your contempt for the president-- it's sickening. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.

It is not polite to be rude to your close friend in his living room especially when the press is recording the whole conversation.
Obama disrespected Netanyahu for the second time!

But don't worry...Obama was playing golf yesterday so it should all be fine....if an European newspaper reported that he was playing golf...we all know how he spends his days in between bashing or apoligizing.
