The Media Campaign
Up until now there have been three people whose names in a cartoon are enough to stimulate angry responses. The three are Pollard, Obama, and Glenn Beck.1- Any use of the President's middle name brands me as a racist!2- Any discussion of Pollard and his abandonment by the Jewish "powers that be" both in America and the Israeli government here in the Middle East always brings an angry response or two.3- Any defense of Glenn Beck brings advice that I should not be deceived by this fascist antisemitic demagogue.Suddenly a fourth name has been added (by the Main Stream Media) to the list of names you can't say without hitting a "nerve": Donald Trump.

It's strange that Glen Beck should be considered antisemitic since he's always talking about how the United States should honor its alliance with Israel and how Israel is our only true friend in the middle east.
Stranger still is the madness that so many liberal Jews will continue to vote the other way & simply brand anyone else as a racist & fascist & all this crap.
And I bet I'll be branded an anti-semmite for my own comment criticizing how so many on the left in the US who claim to be Jewish & love Israel could care less about the only democratic country in the Middle East. Brand me, but it's a cheap shot that misses by ten miles.
Bones, the problem is not yours, the problem is theirs'
Maybe if they used their 2 ears more often than the 1 mouth they had, they'd not get offended by someone's right to free speech.
Life Student brought up a good point, I still can't stand Beck for the rest of what he says on his show. That is now what I want to comment about.
Since the tea baggers (TB) and the GOP got together in an unholy alliance, hate and bigotry have come out of the closet and onto the airwaves. Whenever a TB and GOP says "We want our country back" they are really saying "Get that nigger out of the White House!" Bigotry is "kosher" again?
I'm deeply depressed over hatred becoming acceptable in the United States. People have been yelling for President Obama to show his "long form" birth certificate. He thought it wasn't important, so he didn't bother with it. The other day he asked for permission to use it and it was published. NOW some are saying that it was manipulated with a program. I used to work as a research analyst in the commercial real estate industry. When I needed a copy, the curved edge always showed. The certificate was clearly copied from a bound book, which is why there is a curved edge on the left side of the certificate.
American and Canadian college students feel that all Jews should be killed because Israel is an apartheid state and does not want peace. One girl said on a YouTube video that "Jews are the reason for all the problems of the world because they are all rich and can buy anything and anyone they want."
Excuse the hell out of me, I am a Jew and get less than $19,000 a year. THAT is RICH? Poverty is rife in Israel and here in the states. Yet when I tell that to Jew-haters, they dismiss it with comments such as, yeah yeah, more Jewish lies or don't make me laugh, if a Jew needs money they just pick up the phone and call a secret number and their bank account is automatically increased.
HOW STUPID AND IGNORANT CAN PEOPLE BE?
The GOP is at war with women's health. Get this: If a small business provides health insurance that pays for abortions, the GOP wants to FINE THEM! Also, if a woman's fetus dies prior to birth, it becomes toxic to the woman. A hospital may not perform an abortion EVEN IF IT KILLS THE WOMAN!
And for the coup de grace, they want to outlaw contraceptive devices; pills, condoms, intra uterine device...anything that would prevent pregnancy. Apparently the GOP and TBers want to go back to the middle ages!
I'd not be surprised if membership in the KKK becomes acceptable again. There is more than enough hate and bigotry to swell their ranks.
In response to Down the Think:
I think you paid too much attention to Life Student and Not enough to Exiled Assyrian-Chaldean; you talk more than you listen.
I too am one of those that "wants our country back" and wants BHO out of the whitehouse where he has effectively set up his monarchy for these past few years.
As for the Birth Certificate: Why on earth did he not disprove the claims right away? How much effort is it to show America his birth certificate that he had to spend millions preventing it from being shown?
The rest of your comments are just plain off topic and I have no interest in responding.
I somehow missed the end of this paragraph:
I too am one of those that "wants our country back" and wants BHO out of the whitehouse where he has effectively set up his monarchy for these past few years.
I have no problem with his skin color merely the fact that he has done the worst job of presiding over the US than ANY other president in US history and I want him out.
I am sure the vast majority of TB's and GOP voters would say the same.
Most of what I would have said has already been said by Exiled Assyrian-Chaldean and by 'Anonymous.' However I do want to add that clearly not "everybody" is upset with Donald Trump, or else, who is he talking to? The media is run amok and is out of touch with what most people think. My own daughter told me that 'everyone' who is against Obama is only because they are racist. ??? What about what he's done to the countries credit rating? What about the debacle of Obamacare? What about, ... What about ...? I could go on - the point is that there are some very good reasons one could have for preferring what Donald Trump has to say than Our Fearless Leader's ignorant antics.
Oh, and the people who get angry just because you use someone's name? There was no hope for them from the first - you can only reach people who think. It's just too bad they have become so much more vocal in recent decades. Time was, a person would be ashamed to speak out in public if s/he was so completely ignorant.

Excellent!!!! Shabbat Shalom!!!
Bones, thank you for the wonderful, thought provoking blogs.
To Down the think ~ President Obama is mulatto, most people are not happy with him because of what he is doing, or not doing, not because of his color ~ I hear of alot of people who do not support him who would vote for Alan Keyes, should he decide to run, so you will have to come up with another excuse as to why people are not happy with our President. As far as hatred, it seems to be spewing out of your mouth.
Bones: Say what you need to say. If someone is so bent on an agenda that the mere mention of a public figure's name is going to make them angry, then ignore them. Trying to please everyone in the mob will only make you censor yourself into oblivion, and the haters will still hate you.
Now if only we could convince the Israeli government of this truth. Their policy over the past 40 years seems to be based on making the western media write nice articles. They should realize by now that the press is full of anti-semites who will never change their opinions under any circumstance.
Dabbling in politics and political cartoons will and always will open yourself to critics. Thinking otherwise is extremely naive!!
Anyone who thinks that Obama was born in Africa, and not Hawaii, despite overwhelming evidence, is not too swift. And to think that there was a conspiracy of Hawaii Republican officials, Honolulu newspapermen from the 1960s, etc., to create "false" documentation of his Hawaiian birth makes them a nutcase. Moreover, it is anti-Constitutional because the birthers demand Obama prove he is an American, whereas the Constitutional burden is on the accusers to prove what they may. Just because one supports Israel doesn't make everything they say meaningful.
I am suspicious of all of these yard birds. I do not trust any of them. Trump and Beck and all the rest talk for Israel but I do not believe it. They just want our Jew vote.
Hi Yaakov,
I've read all the comments and some jibe so well with MSM. The minute someone calls Tea Party members Teabaggers you know who and what they are. Enough said about that.
The onus of proof is not on the "birthers" but on B Hussein. The constitution states clearly only a natural born citizen and ONE WHOSE PARENTS WERE CITIZENS OF THE USA AT THE TIME OF BIRTH. Obviously BHO Senior was not a citizen and consequently B Hussein is ineligible. The certificate of live birth is a fraudulent document but assuming he was born in Hawaii he's still ineligible.
Yaakov, you keep on mentioning the names and ignore the detractors. Keep up the great work.
Down The Think, The GOP has put up more African American candidates than the DNC. It's just that the liberal press can't stand the thought of a black conservative. I'm not going to continue on this line of thought though because it has hijacked this thread, and I refuse to lower myself to your level and start name calling. (Tea bagger? To you even know what that is? You pervert.)
Please tone down the yelling. Obama was elected to be President of all the people. If you are a US citizen and don’t like that fact, feel free to mount opposition candidates and elect them instead. Obama made no secret of his agenda during the campaign.
Don’t forget: He inherited a royal mess on all fronts when sworn in and has kept the country out of a depression. Most of “Obamacare” has not yet been applied and will not be until 2014.
The greatest deficits and national debt in history were created during the Bush 43 and Reagan terms. In between the Clinton years balanced the budget and began paying down the debt. Obama is being honest by not putting major costs "off the books" like 2 wars and the prescription drug benefit bill as was done in the previous administration. Those chickens came home to roost and are a major part of our economic problems.
Please focus on policy issues and please provide details instead of name-calling.
Barak Obama was the first President in history to have a Pesach Seder (3 of them so far) in the White House. What do you think of that?
Shalom to all.
Obama's Pesach Seder is a mockery.
