In case all you lefties have any doubt about what is really going on in the mind of Obama administration officials, check out this "howler" from Obama's trusted National Security Adviser, General James Jones.

It ain't about Israel, as so many of you are fond of saying.

Actually it is pretty good joke. It brought a smile to my face.

However, I don't think that was the best time or place for that joke.

Pro-Semitic?

This is possibly the most hostile administration to Israel and you call a provocative joke by Obama's National Security advisor making fun of Jewish stereotypes pro-Semitic?

How does the left manage that feat of twisted thinking?

Just because you don't cave into every Israeli and AIPAC doesn't make you antisemitic.

People like you are misguided and assume that you need to place Israel on a pedestal or you are antisemitic. It is parallel to the neocon's tactic of you either supported President Bush or were anti-American.

Those cards are old and played out.

Oh c'mon, that's a funny joke! Are you kidding me?

Oh that's right, Jews are the only ones allowed to make jokes about other races and religions

Damn Anti-gentiles are every where!

Psssst! You are thrashing a decorated Marine general.

Besides, the joke was pretty darn funny.

But if the joke poked fun, in a little negative way, at Jews; it would be Anti-Semitic, right?

Anti-Gentile!

By far the most hostile towards Israel was Bush Sr. There is no comparison, because he actually threatened Israel that he will cut all aid to them, unless they quit expanding the settlements.

But guess what? Israel quit expanding them.....
