You’re off yr nut. How did such a wingnut find this blog? Aren’t there other sites where you’d find yrself more at home politically & otherwise (among fellow wingnuts)?

Political parties are spelled with a capital ltr. That is accepted usage. Making up yr own rules only confirms yr obliviousness to rules of spelling, language and political discourse.

Yes, those who taunt others with defamation based on perceived crimes of thought (i.e. hate speech) are typically the extreme leftists. Not all dems are on the fringe left just as not all reps are truly conservative or on the fringe right. I believe most Americans fall somewhere in the center. So I was careful to define them as a sub-group and not a characterization of the entire party (or group).

As for your inclination to react with defamatory movie metaphor; I am a more of a modern anthropological docu-drama than a horror show.

As for you “[sic]“, I always refer to political parties in lower case (personal style choice).

Hugs.

You’re a horror show, aren’t you? “Extreme leftist democrats [sic]??” Really?

I don’t think this video would stir any antisemitism except among those extreme leftist democrats who already have antisemitic views and idolize Obama. It would be ridiculous for any of that demographic to point to this silly video as an excuse for their own hatred as thinking people know better than to respect their words anyway.

Those who would not use the language these intoxicated kids used in this video but still agree that Obama is bad for Israel wouldn’t think much about it except to agree with their sentiment but maybe, be appalled at their behavior. That’s not going to be very many, as most people who are older have a time in their youth when they can say “yes, I acted like fool” and a part of them secretly wishes they could get away with it again.
To be frank, the whole video made me laugh.

Unbelievable. Their parents must be so proud. Apparently, these kids have learned none of the lessons of the holocaust. Spoiled brats without a shred of humanity.

Thank you Tikan Olam for posting this video. I had to do quite a bit of searching to find it. Seems it’s banned everywhere — even on Max’s site the video can’t be viewed. So much for freedom of speech in the good ol’ USA.

Dear Richard,

I also note that the Vimeo site has deleted Max’s video, effective June 23.

I hate to be cynical, but irony is probably a ‘best case scenario’. Foxman seems to presume that anything critical of Israel is anti-Semitic.
