Rush Limbaugh wonders if "Jewish Bankers" are having buyers remorse.

[sufrommich]

"There are a lot of people, when you say banker, people think Jewish. People who have prejudice, people who have -- what's the best way to say -- a little prejudice about them. To some people, bankers -- code word for Jewish -- and guess who Obama's 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 starting to be some buyer's remorse there."
David Gibson at Politics Daily points out some interesting responses to Limbaugh's slapdash remarks

"Limbaugh's references to Jews and money in a discussion of Massachusetts politics were offensive and inappropriate,"Abraham H. Foxman, National Director of the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, said in a statement. 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."

Marc Tracy of Tablet Magazine, an online Jewish publication, offered an explanation of the flawed logic behind the conservative talk radio host's comments:

"Limbaugh put the cart before the horse: what Obama said is offensive to Jews only if he was making the connection that bankers are Jews. But, of course, he wasn't. Instead, Limbaugh made the (offensive) connection himself, and then tried to cut-and-paste it into Obama's prior remarks. It doesn't really work that way. Sometimes a banker is just a banker."


I wonder how many times Rush can show his true colors before his ditto heads have the decency to turn him off.

1. I hope his Floridan listeners are busy destroying his property in W. Palm Beach

Way to run your mouth to offend the Jewish population.

2. ...ditto heads have the decency...

Not holding my breath after all these years. Rush converts people to indecency. That's part of his job. Along with convincing the chickens that Colonel Sanders is a good guy.

3. Sheesh!

Moses!!!!

At some point can't he be sued for hate speech? Libel? Slander? Something? Really, at some point after he's crossed the line numerous times there has to be a breaking point. If not him, then his sponsors?

Worried about making him a martyr or something? Your never going to stop that from happening...even Adolf Hitler is a martyr to some.

4. Oh, please, Rahm, make yourself useful for once and tear him a new one.

Please? :shrug:

5. If he'd take his head out of his fat ass for five minutes

he might discover that most of them in this country are WASPs.

Jesus, they're all mining the Third Reich for their material and not even bothering to hide it any more.

6. Jesus, they're all mining the Third Reich for their material

Yes, they are. I guess they figure now is as good a time as any.

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

7. Well, you bet yah. the Forth Reich is now in it's 9 year.

So it is an appropriate subject to distort in history to influence the future.

How proud GWB's Grand-pappy must be.

[BreweryYardRat]

8. Shades of Goebbels.

Literally. Anyone want to bet Limbaugh will be bloviating about the "Jewish media" within six months?

9. Fuck you, Anal Cyst.

God, that hate that ugly shit. He's a waste of oxygen.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. So he didn't get a reaction

about his "light skin and "dark skin blacks" nonsense so now he's going this route? :shrug:

Anything for ratings! :eyes:
