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


YouTube - jones joke
The joke was hilarious and well timed. And Pssst. Gen. Jones is no lefty, he is in fact a close personal friend of Sen. John McCain and has appeared on the stump with him when he was running for president.

FAIL

(It's always fun to watch Republicans/conservatives show their ignorance. )

Oh damn! The Anti-Gentiles were having so much fun, until you came in here and decided to carelessly throw some historical facts around

They are a very bizarre people.

Barack Obama wins 77 percent of Jewish vote, exit polls show - Haaretz - Israel News

So Obama received 77% of the Jewish vote and they expected something different from a Kenyan born Muslim and fraud?

Just out of curiosity, what was the stereotype because I completely missed the greedy part.?

Jews are merchants, I should have such stereotypes.

Wasn't the Talibani the butt of that joke? However, I do think the brothers in the joke did not have to be any particular race, religion, or nationality and it would have been just as funny(or unfunny - it's your call) It could have just been "this guy" in the shack and "his brother" at the restaurant. I don't see racism so much as poor judgment.

The mindset of the left is on blazing, inglorious display today. The White House thought the joke was so funny they forgot to include it in the official transcript of the speech released to the press. Anyone wonder why? Remarks by National Security Advisor James L. Jones at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy | The White House

Jones is no friend of Israel and has been urging Obama to "impose" a solution on Israel - obviously many of you are quite okay with the idea. Obviously many of you are okay with the rank anti-semitism coming out of the Obama administration.

And McCain? Imagine if Jones had made this joke while stumping for McCain.
