Look, I realize that race is a social construct, that ethnicity and religion are simply affiliations based on tradition and location, and when it comes down to it we are all the same under the skin and that to somehow prize your own racial/ethnic/religious group above others, to attribute it with specific superiorities, is to fall prey to the same small-minded tribalism that has been the cause of so much bloodshed and conflict throughout human history. As a rational human being I know all this. I do. Still, there's some part of me that can't help but be disappointed every time I am reminded that Jews can be stupid too.
I wouldn't worry too much about this completely unsourced article.
Favorite line in an article ever: "Bachmann also told an AIPAC gathering earlier this year that she and her family make sure each year to attend at least one Jewish-theme play or movie."
@johnpseudonym Short answer: "We watch Ben Hur every Easter"
@IBentMyWookie The Passion's Jewish, right?
@johnpseudonym Marcus always has a dreamy, wistful look in his eyes when Michael Caine turns on Bach’s Concerto in F Minor for Barabara Hershey…
@johnpseudonym I caught a rerun of Seinfeld.
I'm more amazed by all the straights who think Marcus Bachmann is one of them.
Edith runs into this all the time.
Well, it is from the Post.
…President Obama's waning support among Jewish voters, who are upset with his administration's policies toward Israel.
For "are upset with his administration's policies toward Israel" read "assume that anyone to the left of Bibi Netanyahu is an anti-Semite." Perhaps it is only Jewish Republicans who are stupid?
This is an even bigger evangelical/Jew mix-up than Lance Berkman.
More likely the off Ox.
Is the bigger problem that the Jews are donating to Michele Bachmann, not that they think she's Jewish?
Weirdly enough, this makes me think of the episode of Mary Tyler Moore when Rhoda’s mother ends up staying with Mary.
I wonder if this is the equivalent of "I gave at the office." Which, I don't know if people say anymore, but I clearly remember reading it in Mad Magazine.
