When he appears before the Black National Congress, I hope he tells the joke about the Harlem pimp, who when he was beating one of his “hoes”, dropped a bag of cocaine and a dog ran past and grabbed it…
forgot the rest, but you get the idea.
Al Sharpton around? When does the protest march start? Boycott, boycott what?
Actually, making light of what J3ws do to countries is no laughing matter. Look at Bernanke or Goldman Sachs. They were destroying Germany in much the same way until they simply said “no” and quickly turned Germany in to a world superpower. We could do the same here if you would get over your perception Jews are somehow above reproach. Sounds like most already have. Just think how quickly we could turn things around if we weren’t paying “tribute” to Israel (for no good reason) and stopped fighting their wars for them in the Middle East! Gas prices would go down again and our economy would correct itself. Then we reject the J3w merchant’s BS of “Free Trade” and stop importing everything from elsewhere. All you have to do is stand up with your neighbors and say “no more!”
Oh please!!! whats offensive it wasn’t funny ….. but more a fact. his stand up needs more work.
thats like saying the taliban came to a corner and saw some black kids and wanted direction but couldn’t get any because they were listening to some loud hip-hop music.
breitbart.tv you are reaching
when your right your right and when your desperate your desperate
maybe he has a funny mexican immigration joke, something like
” the taliban came upon a group of men in a back of a pick-up and thought it was U.N troops, little did they know it was only mexicans getting pick up for work.
Terry got a government job? Somehow I never pictured him in a suit.
why preface it with “a Jew”?
how about just telling the story?
when are these people going to stop seeing every single thing race-religion first? how are we ever going to move on if officials are doing this? how are they helping?
@YR
and when you can’t spell you’re, you’re showing your ignorance. These are not the days of yore, my fellow. Your comments are quite humorous.
why do they always need to become comedians? how about delivering your message and if something within it is funny its funny. reaching for jokes and using a people as your source is not a good thing for any speaker to do especially a political one.
got any birth certificate jokes?
i can think of at least a hundred.
got any obama snafu jokes?
i can thinkof at least a hundred and fifty.
I don’t know, I thought it was kinda funny. I don’t think less of Jewish people now. I welcome any assault on p.c. bull crap, from the left or the right. A welcome change from all the white male Christian conservative bashing in America.
CALM DOWN WITH THE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS ON ALL SIDES PEOPLE. This is a funny joke. I am not a BO fan, but this is funny…just leave it alone.
It’s an old Jewish joke. Been around for years. Nothing offensive about it. If you’re offended it means you’re just a dolt.
Everyone of these disgraceful politicians will be thrown out of their comfy jobs starting in November.
These people are the bottom of the barrel and their only goal is to insult anyone and everyone of any religion (except of course…Obama’s beloved Islamic faith)
How in hell did the World get turned up/side/down?
Take no prisoners in November!
I CAN SEE NOVEMBER FROM WHERE I AM STANDING!
I don’t mind this a bit. Just another nail in the electoral coffin for B.O. and his dem cronies. Jews voted for em last time out, I doubt the same will be true next time around.
Hey it’s okay he’s a democrat so was just being silly and wasnt serious–because democrats are all really nice people with big caring hearts and never do anything wrong–it’s the republicans that are always racist, nazi and mean-spirited so please move along there’s just no story here…
-Editor NYT
I remember listening to my Uncle, back when I was a child, telling similar jokes. Back then it was the Jews, the WOPS, the POLS, and you name it. That man never had an antisemitic bone in his body. He passed away a few years ago at 88 years of age. I’ll always miss him.
Today I listen to these jokes and tell them. I too harbor no religious prejudices, nor for ones nationality, nor skin color, or the like. If you can’t see the humor in Jewish jokes of this nature that’s your problem. If you can’t see the reverence for good business people that’s your problem as well. Trying to make it everyone else’s is nothing more than a ploy.
That joke is ancient.
Probably a Borscht Belt Catskills joke.
Oh my goodness.
How many more billions in
extortion will Israel
demand from us now because
of this joke?!
We better start building
the biggest Holocaust Memorial
you’ve ever seen in your life tomorrow
morning at dawn, if we are ever to live this down.
The Talmud itself teaches
Jews to steal from gentiles,
in no uncertain terms.
If someone is offended by the joke, first the person should
condemn the Talmudic teaching that appears to be the justification for some rather unsavory and bigoted behavior toward goyim by many Jews – then we can discuss the joke.
Jews don’t get to teach their children racial supremacy and that stealing from gentiles is ok – only to turnaround and accuse gentiles of being bigoted for objecting to being targeted as a goy and subsequently ripped off.
Brush up on your Talmud.
Sanhedrin 57a . A Jew need not pay a gentile the wages owed him for work.
Baba Mezia 24a . If a Jew finds an object lost by a gentile (”heathen”) it does not have to be returned.
Sanhedrin 57a . When a Jew murders a gentile, there will be no death penalty. What a Jew steals from a gentile he may keep.
Baba Kamma 37b. The gentiles are outside the protection of the law and God has “exposed their money to Israel.”
The joke brings up anti-semitic images, period. Making the ‘poor Moslem’ have to walk so many miles just to be tricked by the proverbial ‘jew’. I guarantee you this General has a low opinion of Jewish people. He’s an Obama Democrat, so if I was Jewish I’d wonder how much of this is shop talk, perfectly permissable at the White House.
Dan
“Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has accepted an invitation to visit the White House for a meeting with President Obama, senior Palestinian officials told Fox News. ”

======================================
are u in there?
lol good one.,,just as long as he doesn’t tell any Mohamed jokes he should live another day. seemS Islam has no sense of humor,,or any sense at all.,,,LOL…
PERVERTED RELIGION: offering up virgins for murdering completing interests
First of all mocking Jews is not funny – I wonder would would happen if he had mocked a Muslim
Michelle’s designer shoes….$15,000
Obama visiting Billy Graham for some PR….$50,000
The takeover of the auto, health, education, energy and banking industries….bankruptcy.
Obama’s National Security Adviser telling anti-Semitic jokes….Classless!
Lawlessness….it’s just going to get worse.
So, this assh^le receives a paycheck and will get a pension from me and the rest of the American taxpayers? Here is what I want:
A list of every person in that room that was there that laughed and did not walk out as they are complicit here also!
I want this President and his bigot regime kicked to the curb by the taxpayers of this nation sooner than you can say impeached and this f’in punk waterboarded!
Actually he deserves worse!
I’m a US Citizen and a Christian next and this bastard needs a 5×5 cell to think for 6 months!
I could care less about the joke, however its not for a government employee to be engaging in, truly low class. Also, liberals mocking Americans, and Jews is ok for them, but they wont dare mock an illegal or a mohammadan. Just goes to show how deviant liberals are and how twisted they are in their thinking.
First of all….it IS a funny joke. Similar jokes have been plied by Jewish comediennes for decades.
Vat? Because a goyum mensch tells it…it is “Depicting Jews as Greedy Merchants”?
Nonsense….Most Jews would be tickled that a goy would attempt to tell such humor. Mind you, he could use a little work on his timing….
Hey that kind of sounds racist to me. Why no headlines in the main stream media?
http://www.PoliticalCentrist.com News and views for independent voters
People, relax! I’m Jewish and yeah…ok..so it’s using Jewish stereotypes. Big deal. At least it’s making a joke out of the talent that some Jews have for business. Does this mean every jew is great at business? Ha. I wish! I know some Jews that couldn’t sell a Snickers bar to Rosie O’Donnell. I think people need to lighten up. I’ve seen Jackie Mason tell far worse Jewish jokes than this. People make ‘wasp’ jokes about white guys not being able to dance or jokes about asians not being able to drive. I mean…who cares? It’s all part of the color of life. As long as you don’t take any of it too seriously…and know that any individual is usually different than most stereotypes. Is every black guy a basketball player? I know black guys that are 5′1” and can’t shoot a basketball into an empty swimming pool in front of them.
The only sad thing is that these days if you make a joke about a Muslim you get death threats and have to worry about being decapitated in your sleep.
But hey, I can empathize. I mean if wrapping a towel around my head or putting a potato sack over my wife was the greatest contribution my religion ever made to the world, I’d be pretty pissed too!
Why tell the joke?
What does he have to gain by telling that joke?
Smart men know only to speak when you have something important and vital to the mission.
That joke bothers me on many levels.
Is he a narcissistic nerd like Obama and Gibbs who craves for attention and laughter?
Something isn’t right with Jones. I can’t put my finger on it yet, but I suspect he is a big time lefty who has hid his views for a long time.
It’s a really old Catskills joke, been around forever. The guy had really bad timing. Glad he didn’t try the moose joke.
For the next national security conference General Azzhole should tell some faggot jokes or how about a couple of pickanniny stories.
Is there not one single person in this joke administration with an ounce of common sense?
I’m surprised that when he left the podium he didn’t grab his crotch and give everyone the finger.
Appeared that he was making light of Mohammed.
No , this is good, the libs on this are telling us to lighten up. You know, hey a joke is a joke man. We should all just lighten up. Or we could all just tell them we’ll kill them next time and they’ll cower like the eunuchs they are. Hey chill out man. ahhhhhh. So we can expect to go head long into some sweet islam jokes and mohamed and what not. And theyll be right there just standing right beside…. were did they go.
They are right though. jokes a joke. No reason to get upset about it. that means fair game. Maybe the islamists got some of those self deprecating ones they could share. you know like stuff about magic carpets or why did the chicken cross the road? cuz he saw a baboon looking man with explosives strapped to his chest walking into a diner.
Seriously though. This has obamugabe written all over it. Jews get mad, see how do you like it, double standard crap. This guy is trying to pass off childish games as genius. If the jewish people take the bait it would be a shame . Its another opportunity to turn it around on him.
Laugh it off and press the situation with mohamed jokes. He has check mated himself numerous times with the jewish folks only to be let off the hook.
Get rid of the nukes, u.s. is the umbrella, iran would have no place to hide remove, double standard ruse, Im sick of it already. Its so easy to defeat this eunuch its insane.
Epic Fart.
Lighten up y’all. It’s a funny joke.
BTW, I’m a conservative Republican and an Israel supporter.
The fundamental tests: “Is it funny?”
Yes. This was funny. So laugh a little.
Funny or not funny it is irrelevant and inappropriate. High level government officals can make religous jokes but in our society we can be sued or charged with discrimination or hate crimes. PC OVERBOARD for ELITES as they have Special Rules just because they are so SPECIAL.
I, Earl Butz, think that telling of offensive jokes is a lost art, and should be brought back to its once position of social prominence. The classics never fail.
For example, my all time favorite about a warm place for elimination, loose shoes and a tight place to put it.
Hahahahah! I crack myself up!
I’m a Jew who is not offended, but on the contrary. All it means is that we posses shrewd business minds.
I wonder why these guys hang around this eunuch. Gates, jones and the like. It has got to be demoralizing for them. You know he acts like king Obama. It must be revolting to watch and to be subject to. Id rather be the thirsty taliban guy. I mean how much money could be in it for them. I remember something about gates carrying a clock around till its time to go back to texas. He was supposed to be there for a year and gone. It is impossible to imagine what would keep him staying there.
So vattts the problem with the bolsheviks.Are you saying that they are slimy unethical morons.
National Security Advisor:
…. and now for some funny cartoons I’ve jotted for everyones’ amusement of Mohammad, in various bomb-in-Turban attire…
The head-lopping ones here, are King Maobummercorn’s favorites, here….
Sunshine Connie @3:42
You said it… that’s what they do. Make rules today to smash freedoms of the people while breaking the ones they made for us to abide by yesterday.
Total scum of the Earth.
I thought it was funny. I think “yid with lid” was out of line and reading something into the joke that was not there. Many extremely racist people do such things — accuse others of being racist while in reality it is they themselves who are the racists. Meddlesome, bitter, troublemakers, complainers — you know, kind of like the Jews who were wandering around in the wilderness during Moses time who were cut of from entering into the promised land, and kind of like the ones described in the New Testament in Romans chapter 11 as branches which were cut off of the olive tree which were replaced by gentiles who were grafted into the olive tree in their place.
The irony isn’t that Jones bordered on anti-Semitic.
It’s that he’s there representing the politically-correct elitists who find racism and bigotry in EVERYONE ELSE’s utterances.
And then there’s the fawning media who will excuse this lapse of good taste, just like they did with Harry Reid saying Obama is a Negro but doesn’t talk like one (except when he wants to).
Nice Purple tie you’ve got there too, JJ. Just noticed that.
Let me guess…. you security advise for SEIU too?
Ok, so when are the jews who support Obama going to get smart??? When it’s too late?? Like more gas chambers??? What will it take??
Obama has got to love those LIBERAL Jews right up to the time they start pushing them into the ovens, AGAIN!!!
What not funny but is it true??
Very disappointing coming from a retired Marine General Officer. But it serves as a reminder that retired 4-star generals/admirals, working in any administration, are nothing more than politicians. A Marine would never tell that joke in a public setting.
Obama says one thing, his supporters do another. Typical slight of hand politics.
It was a joke !! Whats wrong with it ? I thought it was funny. Doesn’t anyone have a sense of humor ?? Everyone is so worried about insulting someone these days PC gone too far ?
it was a joke not hilarious but funny .
[if other States follow Arizona...]
“if Obama seeks re-election, he will be required to prove he is qualified as a “natural born citizen.”
If he can’t, he may not be able to seek re-election and quite a story.
will Congress call an investigation whether he was eligible to serve?
If he was not, every action taken during his term in office – from health-care executive orders to takeover of General Motors – will be null and void.”
Yid with a lid, Jew with a pew, black with some crack, spic with a chick — oh sure, these racists are a barrel of laughs.
Dirtball scumbag. He’s a complete disgusting filthy rag like his boss.
And ??? (that’s an old joke)
Sure it was a joke, but why a Jewish joke why not one about Mexicans crossing our borders asking for the same thing, or better yet how about a Muslim asking for the same thing, the point is this Administration doesn’t give a damn about the Jews, they got there votes and {they disrespect their leaders} now they need the Mexicans for November.
So you brothers in the Mexican community, think about it, see how Change and Hope is working for the Jews!!! Your next with the crude intentions and jokes that are well founded in this Administration.
Talk about Racists, where is Al Sharpton???
I am outraged !
That this squares delivery was so bad.
It could have been a good joke !
Why is there even ONE single person of the Jewish faith who still supports the Obama regime?
I don’t know, it didn’t seem bad to me. If it had been a Polish, Czech, Irish, Red Neck, or some other ethnicity in place of Jewish, nothing would have been said, would it.
I don’t like the Obama administration or anyone who works within it, but this joke wasn’t anything. Anyone who tries to make a big deal out of it is being thin skinned and foolish in my estimation… Try being White and from the South if you want to toughen up your skin as far as jokes being told about you goes…
My jewish brothers, are you listening now. Obama has done more against Israel and all Judaism and more for Muslims and Muslim Nations than any any other group. Please hear our pree, he is not helping you, only hurting your cause. He is destroying this nation with lies, rhetoric, and bad decisions. We need your support on our side so that we can help thwart his attempts to change this nation any more.
I constantly watch the main media sources but then I check sites like Drudge (a Jewish brother) and http://www.americanparchment.com and look for the stories the media aren’t talking about.
For Example this week a corporation with government ties and the President laid the most blatantly obvious lies and rhetoric when talking about their pay off of Gov. loans: http://www.americanparchment.com/library/propaganda_gm_obama.html
I didn’t see the joke the way Breitfartttv.com headlined it – it made fun of the Taliban – but of course you guys in this echo chamber will nod your heads in assent to anything said on Right wingnut talk, video or print. Get a life!
Jews in Afghanistan? Jews aren’t allowed to live much less do business there! This so-called joke reveals much about Jones! Appalling!
Such heresy!
Now if we could only get the same outrage by Breitbart when officials speak disrespectfully about Arabs.
What’s more telling about this joke isn’t that it’s anti-semitic, but that Jones uses a Taliban member as the “victim”. In other words, this member of the Taliban is being portrayed as just your average joe getting ripped off by a Jew. Suppose he started off the joke with, “There was this Taliban member who was frustrated because the bombs strapped to his underwear mysteriously didn’t go off…then he saw this Jewish merchant…”
You’ll never see any discipline being levied against this guy by the White House. His sentiments match those of his leadership.
OOOH!!!,GASP!!!”what he said was “borderline anti-Semitic”!!!!
As if that is some universal crime that applies to the milky way galaxy,including the andromeda galaxy…
You people are silly.
Jews aren’t exempt from criticism.
Get over this hypersensitivity,it makes you look pathetic(if you’re a nonJew),or arrogant if you are one.
Terry–
You must be in high heaven! Right up your alley…
22% of American Jews voted for the other guy. I wonder what that number would be today?
23%
Like most Yid humor there is a “lesson” in the story. If instead of exploding in anger the Taliban had simply asked “why a tie when I need water?” the merchant would likely have given him the answer. He got the lesson in humility he deserved.
[...] but couldn’t download it. So I contacted my friends at Breitbart and thanks to the folks at Breitbart TV, I was able to get my hands on the video of Jones’ comic delivery (if you cant see video [...]
**********************************************************************************************
What you take away from this is that jews don’t give anything away for FREE , Maybe we should start
acting like JEWS and stop the BILLION of DOLLARS of AID and weapons that we give them.
Heard that one years ago. In fact, it was told to a lunch group of myself and my co-workers by a good Jewish friend of mine. I see no offending content.
And American Jews will stupidly continue to vote for Odimwit and his leftist loons.
It is more than apparently clear that Obummer and the Dimwitcrat Party are anti-Semites. I’m waiting for Obummer to go up to the Jews in this country, tell them he would like to re-create the Holocaust in this country, and the majority of Jews here would stand up and cheer. We MUST not turn our backs on Israel…these are the Jews that we MUST protect. Obummer has told them plain and simply that he is on the side of evil…therefore, Christians in this country MUST do all we can to stand up for Israel in spite of what the morons in America put into the WH.
Liberals will say the joke was maybe not funny but certainly not offensive. Conservatives will say it wasn’t funny but was highly offensive? Why? Different values. Conservatives value INDIVIDUALITY and liberals don’t recognize individuality but only value the collective. It is offensive for conservatives to see individuals steriotyped. It is NECESSARY for liberals TO steriotype. Thus, liberals see nothing wrong with jokes that steriotype a group of people ie: “teabagger racists”, “greedy Jew merchant”, “poor Taliban fighters”, etc…
BTW… was he speaking at a Klan rally? No… at a “Institute for Near East Policy”… maybe the same thing.
Dumb Ass.
Let’s change the joke just slightly: “The Taliban warrior walks up to a BLACK GUY and says . . .”
OOOPS! Not so funny now, is it?
Come on, lighten up…it’s funny.
From a Jew: I found the joke pretty funny (and he told it well…must have had practice at his country club), but I am not sure why this guy has to mention Jews. He could have replaced that with another group, or heavens, told a joke that was more relevant to whatever he was going to talk about.
I suspect if this was a joke about African-Americans, there would be screams for his resignation, etc etc
Unwise joke choice for a MIDDLE EAST PEACE DISCUSSION
Common sense, people.
Oh, Good Lord, people, things like this are just to throw you off track, to confuse you. If the Jews didn’t want you to hear this, you wouldn’t. They own the media. Don’t be so ignorant. They own the major networks, AP, MTV, the movie industries, newspapers, magazines, most industries, companies. There isn’t much left they don’t own. They cram their perversions down your throats every day and are taking your freedoms away from you and you’re too blind to see. Do you really think their major networks and news sources are FOR America? Time to do your own research if you value your freedom. BTW, THEY OWN the “O”, too. Why do you think the leader of Iran and the other Arab leaders were laughing their heads off about when you find out who your “antichrist” is? A lot hasn’t changed since the first century, folks.
The Regime is becoming more transparent every time they open their mouthes.
Theirs is a true culture of prejudice and bigotry and profiling entire groups.
A muslim walks into a bar. Asks the Bar tender for a light. The bar tender says “Mr. Jim Jones is outside, smoking, he is more than happy to help you.”
Okay, I’m not totally against tasteless jokes and the image of a Taliban fighter being taken to the cleaners is funny.
Thing is, do we really want people in power telling these kinds of jokes??? It’s one thing for Joe Shmo sitting at the corner cafe, sipping his latte and telling this to those gathered around him, but considering our relationship with Israel and how muslims in the middle east really feel about Jews, maybe Obama’s national security advisor should save the humor for the office.
to So What? – Only the hard left suicidal Jews will vote for Obama. The rest of us are buying guns and voting Republican because we know what comes next.
Snailmailtrucker – you’re a dolt. General Jones will not be voted out of office in November because he was appointed by the president. If you represent the best and brightest the Tea Party has to offer, we’re all F’d.
Terry, I guess when you were a fetus in your mothers womb, your mother decided not to provide the food to you and that’s why you are what you are today. The rise of high gas prices has nothing to do with America supporting Israel you moron, it has to do with demand and supply and the lack of refiners in the U.S. and the money to export oil. Also, you bring up Goldman? yea? how about fanny and freddy? a gov’t run housing loan institution? You really dont think hmm, maybe that wasn’t the cause of our financial problems. You comparing what happened in Germany in WW2??? you seemed to failed high school to understand why Hitler blamed the Jews. Maybe you need to read up on WW1 first and the versy treaty that punished Germany and the economic problems because of Germany’s wars. Your hatred of the Jews and blaming them for everything shows that you suffer from retardation
INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY??? Is that the time or place for a
joke like that???
Liberals have an incredibly difficult time with social skills and
trying to determine what is appropriate. Liberals just have a social screw loose.
I’m Jewish and I thought the joke was pretty funny actually. Jones is not an anti-semite, look at his history (Obama might be, but not Jones). Obama is the most anti-semitic President since Nixon and the most Anti-Israel President Ever. It is a shame that Most Jews are completely blind to this. Even Democrats Ed Koch and the slippery Senator Chuck Schumer are finally recognizing that Obama supports tyrants in the middle east over democracies. (see current U.S. relations with both Israel and Turkey on that comment).
As for the joke, it was probably not a good idea. Even if it wasn’t that bad.
I love Israel and the Jewish People. I like General Jones and despise Obama. I thought it was funny. Don’t let political correctness lead you into fake outrage.
Can anyone say Earl Butz?
It doesn’t really bother me that much, although it was certainly in “questionable” taste. I can’t wait to hear Jones’ next joke about how religious Muslims cut off the heads of greedy Jews.
Could anyone?, imagine the uproar!, if an official of the Bush Administration had made a joke about liberals dying at both World Trade Towers,Pentagon, and Shanksville not really being a national emergency.
See it’s ok for a Democrat Lib to tell anti-Semitic jokes. Because they really care! They really,really do! Besides his delivery was so bad it makes Henny Youngman sound like a rapper. I heard it before except the wanderer was a Jew and Muhammad was the shop keeper and the joke had a duck,a stripper,and a Catholic priest in the story. What a scream!
I do not think it is anti semitic at all. As a Jew I have had heard the joke from a jewish friend and we depict it it as the intelligence of the jews over the decrepit islamic facists.
Much ado about nothing. The right seems to becoming just as PC as the left has been.
Why is it that telling racist jokes about Jews is OK, but using Obama’s middle name is racist and hatemogering?? James Jones has a long history of being anti-Israel which we all know is just code for being a Jew hater. Now he longer needs the code.
Was this joke highly offensive or over the top? No, not really. What’s disturbing is that it’s a upper level member of Obama’s administration — the administration that was going to UNITE us all — that is telling the joke in public. And what’s even more offensive than that is to think about how Obama and his administration have virtually severed all ties to Israel and its government. One of our longest standing allies, and our only true ally in the middle-east, and Obama wants nothing to do with them– because, after all, those poor Islamist extremists aren’t causing any problems. Naw. Can’t even call them terrorists anymore. It makes you wonderjust what Obama and his administration is doing behind closed doors and what they TRULY think about Israel and Jews. *cold chill down my spine* They are destroying anything American. Of course, that’s their goal. Obama wants to divide us through racism. These people are scary!!
What is really disgusting is that this Marine is scratching his nasty face in public.
The truth hurts…anti-semitic…could care less. I agree with poster who laid out what the talmud teaches. You should also read what the Talmud says about their right to abuse children of the “goyim”..
the scourge of the earth. “God’s chosen people” … yeah right!
Jews have a significant higher perpensity for being socio-paths…fact.
I hope America wakes up and settles the score in November 2010 & 2012
Obama’s National Security Advisor is anti-semitic, what a surprise. Will Obama go to Israel and campaign in 2012 as he did in 2008, to reassure the Israelis and people of Jewish faith? How long before Obama begins to publicy hone his R’epertoire.
This is a small part of a Jewish media ofensive against Obama for his lack of obedience towards Netanyahu. They did this to Putin after he attacked the jewish oligarchs who stole Russian natural resources. This is why Putin suddenly became a dangerous enemy of democracy. When Obama dissed Netanyahu recently over Israeli expansion in E Jerusalem, he sealed his fate. Jimmy Carter also comes to mind as a victim because of his recent book. Carter is now being portrayed as an anti-semite by the media. Love the internet because we now have an alternate source of free speach.
Am I the only person who got past the headline and actually listened to the joke?
If anything, it’s anti-taliban, not anti-semitic! The joke only makes sense because the merchant’s Jewish heritage explains why he gives the Taliban Soldier a hard time! I think the merchant responded respectably to the Taliban Soldier’s string of insults and ethnic slurs… he showed Gandhi-esque passivity and then still got in a dig at the Soldier’s expense.
Can someone PLEASE explain how this is racist? As a Jew, I think it’s HILARIOUS!
My rabbi told this joke to our congregation. this isn’t offensive. his delivery of the joke however needs some work!
Hey, I dislike this administration as much as I possibly can dislike anything, I am still lost as to how he was depicting Jewish people as greedy.. it was all about the tie, I am Jewish and i think that it was kind of funny… Calm down people… yes I am sure there are some heavy racist jokes being said behind closed doors, as there is in most of the homes, of the people commenting here.
Vote Obama, Vote often!
The Obama administration is Liberal, and thus is entitled to play the “Absolute Moral Authority” card.
Forget what is on this video. Only a racist tea-klanner Republican, or a Zionist neo-con who advocates murdering Palestinians, would raise any objections to it.
I’m descended from Mattisyahu/Mattathias- so I have a *little bit* of Jewish history, to say the least. This is not offensive. It is a funny, playful joke. If anyone should feel offended by the joke it would be the one that was made to look like a fool in the joke- and that wasn’t the merchant!
Despite the obvious hypocrisy shown by this administration, let’s not turn in to the lame faux hypersensitive ultra PC moonbats the left has become. The joke was ok.
IT IS A JOKE-GROW UP PEOPLE! If we can’t tell jokes anymore, what’s the point in talking to anyone – they may be offended – oh no, suddenly groups A-Z must be protected, subsidized, coddled. If you claim to be conservative and are offended by this joke – you are a falling into the PC Trap or feel you must politicize everything, try to use your brain.
That’s funny ! Good one !
If he had told it like this…. “an enterprising american had set up a store..” we would all be laughing… Remember.. you can’t joke about the polish, jews, blacks, mexicans, muslims, or gays… but you can say what you want about Americans and Christians…
THE MORE I READ THE COMMENTS HERE, THE MORE I REALIZE THAT RIGHT WINGNUTS HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH THE ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS! THEY CAN’T TAKE A JOKE, THEY HAVE NO SENSE OF HUMOR. THEY ARE BECOMING THE RIGHTWING TALIBAN!
Oh stop. It’s funny.
If you treat every little thing like it’s some unbelievable outrage, pretty soon people just stop listening to you. It’s like Drudge calling the new $100 bill evidence of European socialism.
There are enough legitimate issues to fight over. This stuff is simplu counterproductive. It’s not serious.
Surfdummy,
I am glad YOU see it as a JOKE. But I get just a little sick and tired of this. This is a “DEM”- supposed to be ‘toLLLLLLerant’
Have you not heard the proverb about joking? Out of the abundance of the HEART, the mouth speaketh.
The joke itself isn’t the point. The fact that this creep is sharing it under the current circumstances is what’s so telling. I can guarantee you that no one in Tel Aviv is laughing.
Hey, it’s a funny joke, then again, in today’s upside down world, it’s only funny when told by the left. If the merchant was black, and the the joke teller was a 45 yr.old white male at a Tea Party event, then, well, you know.
You know, I watched the whole video twice just to be sure I wasn’t reading too much into it. But the “joke” clearly justifies anti-semitic rantings of muslims, and now apparently, the White House.
And a National Security Advisor’s jokes cary weight.
I don’t think people should generally be fired for saying something stupid, but this wasn’t an off-the-cuff comment. This was a planned joke, and clearly this guy doesn’t get it.
He should be fired Immediately.
Nate, are you kidding? You really don’t “get” it?
This administration is so brazen. They don’t care that you know how they feel – Anti American, Anti Jewish, Pro Muslim, Pro Black, Pro Lazy.
EQUAL JUSTICE NOT SOCIAL JUSTICE! It’s what MLK wanted. Why do you hate Martin Luther King, Jr., obama?
Aww come on it was funny
What is most insulting is he refers to the Taliban fighter as a warrior.
It’s amazing how many people appear to have had their sense of humor surgically removed. Good grief, folks…get a grip. That’s a pretty good joke! And, I’m guessing that most jewish audiences would think so, too.
Contrast the outrage over this, or the foul UK memo about the Pope , with the spineless media reaction to the South Park episode with Mohammed in a bear suit. Which groups are revered and which are feared? Jews are good capitalists. Historically, there have been few jobs Jews have been allowed to hold. Read your world history. At least Jews aren’t standing around waiting for their govment checks. If they have a new car, retreat, dog, cat, whatever, they have paid for it themselves. Most Jews after WWII, those who survived, that is, had to start again, penniless. You want racism? These people have suffered throughout their existence . But they never give up. Why is that a reason to hate them?
Seeing that Obama hates Christians, I dont see how things like this are jokes. I dont make fun of Christians. If they are evil I rebuke them too, they are not exempt as are not Jews.
I dont see how ANYTHING of this admin is a JOKE to people anymore.

Tom I am glad you are now Moses of the Jews and can see how we LIKE to be Zion-Nazis, Greedy Merchants, Zion-fascists, cancer, etc.
Please come down off of your high horse and present the next 613 laws.
Lighten Up. America.
I love Israel and hope she defeats all her enemies. But that joke was FUNNY!
As a former Marine Commandant, this is particularly deplorable!
Sgt Foster Harrington was Jewish. He died in Fallujah while serving with the 4th Force Recon. His tombstone reads a, “Man with a heart as big as Texas”. No better man has ever lived. Courage, Kindness,Commitmment.
I can’t believe this former Marine Commandant would say such things. We never felt Gen. James was a real Marine. There is a reason we called him the wine and cheese Commandant. He grew up around the world as his father was Foreign Service. His liberal slant obvious. A general is far too politically savvy for this? What is he thinking? Perhaps, he has been talking to his boss too much. Another poor decision by Obama. Yet, to quote a REAL general, Napoleon, ” there aren’t any bad regiments only bad Colonels.” Obama and James should leave.
Yet, the press will give him a pass…because it’s ok if you’re liberal. Look at what they did to Palin. I haven’t seen a woman degraded like that since suffrage.
Jokes like this don’t bother me. But this idiot and the whole administration does. Especially when it comes to our national security and our allies whom they spit on continuously. Liberals are slime!!
Tehran is comforted when they saw who was telling the joke; the joke itself is immaterial.
If you are offended by this joke, you are an idiot!
What can you expect from the a guy who was appointed by Black Muslim trash?
Please, what’s wrong with portraying Jews as greedy merchants? Or blacks as shiftless? Or Latinos as drug dealers? Or gays as pedophiles? Or priests as pedophiles? Or Christians as gullible? Or Atheists as immoral? Why nothing at all. Stereotyping is funny as long as it’s done by the bigoted left. But if it’s down for national security, why, then it’s profiling. Reminds me of a story, this liberal guy is invited by a good friend to join him at a meeting of NAMBLA—-ooops running out of time, ask Obama’s school security czar for the rest.
awwwwww, poor taliban… bend over mr. president so i can kiss your islamic behind some more, says the general.
I think we all realize Obama and his not ready for prime time administration is a complete disgrace. They are socialists and inept socialists at that. Their cabinet members and czars are patheric.
“P-Gunna April 26th, 2010 – 10:37 am
Aww come on it was funny”
Funny has nothing to do with appropriate from a government representative:
If he’d have told this “clean” black joke, do you think he’d be fired or not?
In 1982, right before Herschel Walker left Athens, GA to go to the Heisman Trophy Ceremony in New York City, he went to a local fabric shop to buy some cloth for a suit. He found a cloth he liked so much that he bought the stores stock of it and took it to a local tailor. Herschel asked the tailor “How many suits can you make out of this cloth?” The tailor said “Well Herschel, I could probably make about 2 suits with this much cloth.” Herschel thought that was a low estimate so he kept the cloth and took it with him to New York. He went to the best tailor in Manhattan and said “I’m in town for the Heisman Trophy Ceremony and wanted to get some fine suits made out of this cloth. How many suits could you make me with it?” The tailor looked at how much cloth Herschel had and said “Well, I could probably make 5 suits with it.” Herschel said “Wow, that’s great! The tailor in Athens said he could only make 2 suits with it.” The New York tailor plainly told Herschel “Boy, you ain’t as big a black man up here as you are down there.”
The issue is he would not dare tell a joke that risked offending blacks, hispanics, muslims, etc. So what of you offend a few Jews, right ? Tell one about blacks and see how the Pres likes it.
It is absolutely outrageous for the National Security Advisor to unabashedly make an anti-semitic joke in public. Is anyone screening this guy? It seems like General Jones would be more comfertible tucked away in the deserts of Afghanistan than in front of a television camera. At least James Baker had the decency to keep his anti-semitic remarks to private conversation.
The joke isn’t at anyone’s expense — except maybe Talibangers.
I think it was funny and I look forward to telling it to any of my Jewish friends. I have no doubt they’ll like it too.
Besides, it could have been about a “shop owner,” but I think that, given the Taliban’s feelings about Isreal and Jews in general, it only, harmlessly adds to the entertainment aspect.
Wake up. This is a United State National Security Advisor speaking – not some old uncle sitting around the fire place. It’s not as important how America interprets this video – it’s the world stage that will use this ignorance as fodder against one of our countries allies. Some will hope to minimize this anti-semitic joke, but those who understand both history and our place in history know it for the outrage it will produce. Obama’s administration has anti-semitic members, comfortable telling anti-semitic jokes, “I’m shocked”.
I thought it was funny. I have heard it before but changed to include Taliban this time. Lighten up people. I am a staunch Republican who can’t stand Obama and I don’t get myself in a twist over this. We all know that Jewish people joke amongst themselves about this kind of stuff and are not offended. NOw………if it was a joke about an African American Wig-Store owner……..well then………now we have a problem.
Two-part problem with this so-called joke. 1) Depicts the Taliban as a victim rather than an aggressive, bloodthirsty terrorist, and 2) uses anti-Semitic stereotypes of Jews. The Taliban, meanwhile, is doing everything in their power to kill our men that are trying to liberate Afghanistan. And Israel is the best friend the US has in the world, alongside Britain and Canada. Pitiful “joke”!
the hypocrasy of this administration is without precedent.
And yet Jewish Americans vote Democrat and they voted Obama into office. I will never, ever understand this. The Democrat Party is the party of racism and bigotry, the party of George Wallace, Lester Maddox, Bull Connor and oh yeah, Joseph P. Kennedy, notorios stock market swindler, rumrunner, womanizer extraordinaire, Ambassador to the Court of Saint James who was fired becuase he supported the rise of Naziism in pre-war Germany( UK for all of you from Rio Linda), crooked Presidential political campaign manipulator and uh, uh, uh, oh yeah, father to JFK, RFK, and celebrated amphibian crash test driver, Edward M. Kennedy.
And that is why I am a Tea Party Republican. I supoprt Israel’s right to exist and their friendship with the USA.
My issue is the solid double standard that exists.
In Canada or the U.K. if this were a joke about a Muslim, it would be called hate speech, and the joke maker would be prosecuted.
In the U.S. if it was a joke about a black guy or a gay guy, the same thing would apply.
I have no problem with ethnic humor at all. I do have a problem with the fact that certain groups are protected and others are not.
I thought the joke was funny but was it appropriate for a National Security Advisor to be telling it at a political presentation? If a Republican had done this it would have been Headline News. What if this Joke had been about the Prophet Mohammad or about Muslims? You know there would have been outrage big time. The bottom line is if you are a Democrat you can get away with virtually anything that a Republican would be hung out to dry for. It’s the same old story once again, the Democrats have their own set of rules and everyone else has to abide strictly to the laws or else get lit up by the Obama Lap-Dog Liberal Media.
Oh brother! Now Abraham Foxman will blame the Pope for this too! Stereotypes are there because they mimic the REALTY that we all see in our lives. Yes – you read that right. REALITY!
Could only imagine if a conservative said that:)
Hate Obama but tired of the P.C. garbage. The joke was funny.
This clip may indeed reflect a deep seeded bias in the current administration. Nonetheless, it was a pretty good joke!
It would be a funny joke, if told by one of us at a party. It would seems pretty innocuous in that setting. This setting, however, is wholly inapropriate for such. Just the same, give the guy a break – he’s used to killing people for a living, not telling jokes. His boss is an idiot, but he’s just trying to keep us safe.
I don’t know what to make of this video. As a Jew, I constantly hear Jew-jokes or comments from Jewish friends. But really, is a formal seminar or meeting such a great place for a NON-JEW to tell it? It was taken out of context, so I don’t know why he told it. I’d rather be suspect of this guy because of his political positions/intentions and his service to Obama, rather than dislike him for his anti-Semitism.
I have gotta seriously question his judgement here. Ein grosse schmendrick!
I guess that political correctness does have a nice cozy place on the so-called “right,” when it involves going after a decorated veteran in the Obama administration, who happens to be a realist national security advisor, and who also happens to be critical of the Israelis. This has nothing to do with any of the arguments put forward on this webpage…What this has to do with is trying to find a reason to bump off a guy who isn’t sufficiently nuts when it comes to defending Israels every move, no matter the consequence to our national security.
I’m not sure what makes me more upset. The morons on this page that would defend one of their own using a term like macacca while raking Jones over the coals, or the folks that set this whole charade up for their own larger political (and anti-american) agenda.
What’s next, going after Gates? Or even General Petraeus? Did you happen to hear the remarks of the latter with respect to the Israelis…or did that miss the Drudge radar?
well, they really ARE avaricious! A jew will cast out his or her first born before he or she parts with a dollar more on ANYTHING. Gawd, why are we so eager on the right to defend the jews? They’ll never defend you if you’re christian.
As much as I detest illegal “president” Obama (Where’s the birth
certificate?) and his administration, I don’t think this joke
is every offensive. Indeed, it is pretty funny.
The problem is that if a conservative said that he would have been attacked for it. Deny it if you want but it happens all the time. Right now with Obama and coconspirators they think they can do and say what they want and it’s ok. Anyone else not part of the “Group” are held to be ridiculed for anything. The only thing that showed me was he has no class.
If you want a joke use something with the Liberals in it, you would never run out of jokes or laughs.Then lets see the liberals laugh and say it’s just a joke.
Time to move Obama out of the big house and back to the fields.How is that for humor????????????
i can’t stand Obama or his administration but some of you people need to take a joke you uptight humorless drones.
so jones jokes about jews kinda funny, but it is really not our government need to shut up and keep his jokes in his house or at the bar. making comments when the film is rolling sets it into stone. I thought people were supposed to get mature with age and not be, greedy, lie, and scam. hay, but this is coming from some one who will not be able to vote until the summer.
This is a Democrat regime so he will not even be reprimanded of course.
Just imagine what would have happened if Imus or Rush or Hannity had done something like this…
they would be flat out on their ass, out of a job, or undergoing sensitivity training.
But when Democrats make racist jokes…that’s ok, they are just being “multicultural, you know”.
It’s a hilarious story! Unless, of course, you are a sanctimonious Liberal. Then you only see humor in jokes against Conservatives.
the biggest question is, would he have said the same joke using the word BLACK guy, MUSLIM guy , etc. which he could of easily done.
Of what benefit was there to say Jew???? A smart guy like that you would think uses his brains and knows exactly what he is implying. after all he did prepare the speech and thought about this joke before he said it for quite some time.
Its deplorable.
Of course he’s a liberal , so he’s not a racist ,bias or prejudice. The famous double standard.
you’ve got to be kidding me about this being offensive
I can only imagine what the reaction would have been if the General had been working for a Republican administration. At minimum he would be excoriated for being “insensitive”.
I agree with the Jewish readers above who are no more offended by the story than I would be with an Irish joke. We shouldn’t be hyper-sensitive. You should however consider what the reaction would be if the merchant were black and tried to sell the Taliban a watermelon.
There is definitely a double standard for sensitivity.
It’t not funny. While I am not pc (and would appreciate some BHO affirmative action jokes) I do think this Jewish “joke” came at a very inappropriate time, given the BHO adminstration’s stance in the middle east.
it’s not so much the joke, it’s the fact that there are so many groups that he wouldn’t dare make a joke about…it’s the discrimination and the fact that there’s the list of who you can make fun of and a list of who you can’t make fun of. it’s getting very old.
C’mon. This is typical jewish humor. If this is racist then Woody Allen and Mel Brooks are racists.
LIB EX GENERAL OFFICER = CLUELESS
I thought we were past the racial stuff, How sad!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why anyone would be surprised by this is beyond me, from his boss right on down the line they have zero respect for any group other than the muslims, who they are scared to death of.
I do not think this joke was anti-semitic. It was politically incorrect. Let’s take this in context.
First of all, many Jews including myself think that the best place for a Taliban guerrilla to live is about six feet under – these are the people who chopped off Daniel Pearl’s head because he was a Jew, and murdered over 2000 people at the World Trade Center. Given the chance, if your average Taliban warrior could press a magic button that could accomplish this every Jew (not just Israeli) would be dead. Am I being harsh? No I am being realistic. These people want to see me dead or at least convert to Islam by the sword which I am not willing to do.
Second, the organization sponsoring the speech is funded by AIPAC supporters, and is pro=Israeli. Many people in the audience were Jews. It is a funny joke. The General, I am sure, will not be telling “inside” jokes in the future.
Let’s get over this anti-semitic nonsense.
anyone suprised? the obama administration is anti israel and pro islamic.
Wow, what a classy administration we have.
He should be fired!
Exhale, you morons. This was nothing.
now that right there was funny!
For the record, there is nowhere in the Talmud where it says that “When a Jew murders a gentile, there will be no death penalty. What a Jew steals from a gentile he may keep.” or any of the other moronic quotes attributed to the Talmud, that have been posted. You guys quoting the Talmud may want to get a more reliable source of info…
I think Henny Youngman’s grandfather wrote that joke. It is as old as dirt and only funny the first 100 times I heard it.
Aimlow Joe
http://www.aimlow.com
He should have ended with: “Oh, by the way…some of my best friends are Jewish”.
Sigh…
C’mon, people. It is just a joke. No Jew or Taliban was hurt in its utterance. Spend time finding drama elsewhere…
It’s not the joke, it’s the political context. Friends can get away with this sort of humor. An official representing the Obama administration can not.
I’m Jewish (not self-hating) and I tell this joke all the time. It’s hilarious!
So I see that one of Obamas advisers got the “Hitlers Guide to Comedy” for his birthday.
Actually that was quite funny.
It is true that he would not make the same joke about other groups but still it is
funny.
As a Catholic or Jew you have to have thick skin while other religous and or racial
groups cannot be joked about.
If anything, I saw this joke as being “anti-Taliban” or “anti-Arab”. It portrays a Taliban as stupid (expects his enemy to aid him in his effort to
kill him. Then takes his enemy’s advice to try another place), and also
capable only of a vile, hostile, unthinking response.
I will be that this joke has been in existance for many years and has been widely told in Israel. Most likely, PC jews and Progressives in the US who thrive off “victimhood” are the ones who find objectionable. I’ve forwarded it to a few jewish friends of mine to get their thoughts. I think they probably have more self esteem than a lot of posters herein.
As a Jew I wouldn’t dream of conning anyone out of money but prejudice runs very deep in this country. It’s vile, ugly, and ignorant and always always always “rationalized.”
My this was a lame joke. Lame does not = anything but poor judgement. The fact he told this joke someone should check to see if he is still on the wagon. Speaking of judgment, I like the one about the A-10 and the Camaro.
Speaking of lame jokes here are a few:
What did the bald man say when he got a comb for his birthday? “Thanks, I’ll never part with it!”
or
Hey, how do you play Taliban bingo?
F-18, B-52, F-16, B-1
Hell Jews have been greedy bastards since the beginning of the race. 99% of the spies in the United States are Jews selling secrets to communist and Israel. 78% of Jews voted for Obama because they put their own greed over the survival of Israel. Jews get what they deserve and if Israel is gone 10 years from now they can look at their actions in 2008. The Jews could have changed the election but choose the path of their own destruction.
Hey general,right after you die and they are getting ready to sent you to hell maybe you can tell that joke to G-d, Yeah that’s it. That will help you out.
Woody and Mel are Jews. They are in the entertainment business. This pro-Taliban ,anti- Israel joke is told by and for smug liberals who hate Capitalism, hate America, and especially hate those who have become successful without the nanny states intervention.
I thought the joke was funny. The way it was delivered not so great. If you want to see some really anti semitic comments read the comments on this posting. They were horrid in many cases. Yes I am a Jew. I love the one about the Jew being so cheap that he would cast out his first born. Anyone I have ever known of my community has sent their children to college,medical school or law school and has provided quite well and beyond what most parents do for their children. Jealousy,and anti semitism rears its ugly head hear and not in that joke. Jews have survived because we can laugh at ourselves. We have produced some of the greatest comedians in the world. That is another tool of survival.
I don’t have a problem with the joke. I have a problem with the way it was told. I have heard it before, and it actually made me laugh the first couple of times, but this guy could not tell a joke if his life depended on it. Maybe if he had borrowed obama’s teleprompter…
I don’t get the outrage.
The joke was the underdog (the Jewish merchant) outwitting the aggressor (Taliban).
I’ve heard this same joke with other groups.
Antisemitism is a misnomer. Khazar Jews, which by-and-large makeup the vast majority of Zionists that are oh-so-sensitive about the antisemitism bugaboo aren’t even a Semitic people themselves. Perhaps this is why these Khazars that converted to Judaism in the 8th A.D. are so sensitive.
The fair-skinned Khazars have no problem stealing the land of real Semitic people: the Palestinians. Khazars don’t even have a real problem murdering Palestinian Semites today, either.
Just to recap: many of these Khazar Jews are not from a Semitic region of the middle east(they are from around what we call in modern terms geographically Turkey and Armenia); they don’t speak a Semitic language, and many don’t even believe in God.
These Khazar Jews that dominate life in Israel now treat the Sephardi Jews – the ones that are actually from the Middle East as second class citizens at best. What an almighty scam!
This was a joke! And it was funny. Some of you really need to lighten up.
The shmata trade and jewish lightning?
I didn’t read all of the comments here… There’s just too many.
While I am certain that Mr. Obama is anti-Israel at best, and probably a vitriol anti-semite as well; and I can’t wait until somone new is elected to the white-house; I am a pulpit rabbi, and I’ve used that joke many times. There is nothing anti-semitic about it!
The joke can be changed to a christian (or any other) merchant, but I think it has the greatest affect when you realize the irony of it being a Jew that offers to “help” the muslim. After all, we Jews have experienced so much warmth and good feelings from the Muslims lately; it’s high-time we gave some of it back.
Bottom line, Obama is still the most anti-Israel president we’ve got (he’s running almost a close tie with Jimmy Carter) but that joke was perfectly fine, in fact, I’m surprised that O let the guy say it, after all it somewhat makes the Jews look GOOD!!!
Have a blessed day
D.
Why has YouTube disabled comments for this video on their site? It seems they do this alot when it is Dems making gaffes. Listen to all the reporters laughing it up. Yes, it is just a joke but jokes like this can no longer be made as they are racist and this man in this position should have known better. He needs to step down. This joke could have only been made if the joke was about a Jew or a white person or more specifically a southern white person. These are the only categories that racial jokes are told about now and apparently people believe it is ok. Well, it isn’t ok.
A poor choice of ‘humor’ for sure. Anyone who reads the news reports and knows the discomfort Israelis feel with this administration would know that this is not an edifying selection as an opener.
this administration sucks along with this piece of crap guy. I hope all of the poor needy welfare-i need a hand help me cause i am a minority groups get their big government….then one day they will all look back and see it is now and was too late….thanks for the illegal kenyan in office you bunch of dumbasses
This is stupid, so the guy wasn’t PC, political correctness is like a disease that was cast upon us by liberals to destroy free speech. As long as you don’t yell fire in a theater for example then say whatever the heck you want. There is no natural right to not be offended. Nice silly, useless distraction though.
Terry April 25th, 2010 – 11:47 pm
you truly are a dolt.
I laughed so hard I kicked the slats out out of my crib the first time I heard that one. The gag is old, old, old. The subject of countless cartoons..
These folks really are amazing. Every time one of them tries to act human, they screw it up.
Maybe if they kept it simple, until they could get their delivery smoother. Something like: A termite walked into a bar & asked “Is the bartender here?” (bar tender)
oh yeah, this is the right place for a joke, nothing serious here taking place, no serious topics to be considered, let’s start with a joke to reflect our current administration and their mindset – just shows our lack of respect for anyone these days…
Remember “tight p—-, loose shoes and a warm place to sh–”?
It all depends on who on the end of the joke.’
Funny joke. . . BUT. . . it wasn’t necessary to say the merchant was a Jew. It was funny, nonetheless. And where’s the greed? Nowhere to be found. This headline is misleading and the video of no consequence. A total non-story. Please, Andrew, find something worthy of MY time. There’s plenty out there — it’s the Obama administration.
RefreshTheTree April 26th, 2010 – 11:27 am
Lets get it straight. No one who comprehends reality says that Gen. Jones doesn’t have the right to say what he wants.
The problem is that someone with the job responsibilities he has should be more sophisticated and understanding as to what comments are beyond acceptance in a particular forum.
Now, if Joe Biden had made the comment no one would be surprised or offended, knowing his prediliction for stupidity.
Obama is a racist.
If the shoe fits….
This from the party of tolerance and understanding. This administration is the most racially divisive group I seen since the KKK.
Another garbage comment from a garbage memmer of a garbage administration!!! November 2010 and November 2012 cannot come soon enough!!!
This should cost him his job.
I took the joke as the Jew is shrewd and on top of things. They are the merchants of the earth and very prosperous. They are the most well-educated, well-organized people on earth. I took this joke as a complement to the Jews.
The joke is old and is one that comes from the Jewish community… People who can laugh at themselves unlike the Taliban or Tea Partiers.
Bizarre, no understanding it just bizarre.
This is one of the oldest jokes ever. It’s not anti-Semitic, we made it up! It’s a Jewish-originated joke and it’s used to make fun of the goyim and their nonsensical Jew-hating ways! It’s an homage to our cleverness and business savvy.
Oy…
You know people, everyone needs to lighten up. What the hell has happened to all of us that we can’t laugh at each other? True, there are anti-semitic jokes that are offensive, but I really don’t think this one is offensive at all. All ethnic people have their own identifications like the Italians, the Greeks, the Poles, so on and so forth, but we’ve become a bunch of wusses who are afraid of saying something offensive around anyone. Political correctness run amuck is what it has become!
I guess when your boss is a closet Muslim, anything goes with regard to Jewish jokes eh????????????
1) Jones can’t tell a joke.
2) There will never be peace in this world as long as we have people like Jones who probably believes in an historically unoriginal, fictional character as jesus, and others beieve in equally stupid concepts.
Hey Yikes. RE: “Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has accepted an invitation to visit the White House for a meeting with President Obama, senior Palestinian officials told Fox News. ”
I bet HE will get diner!!! AND a photo shoot
it’s offensive because the man represents the president——————–so this must be how the president thinks——–
I know, let’s tell some black jokes. Hey, if Obama’s top guy can tell out of line jokes…….
OK… this white guy walks into a restaurant and says “May I have soup and crackers”… the waiter says, “Sorry, We Don’t Serve Crackers”… so he walks out…

I don’t understand why American Jews support Obama, I just don’t get it.
I was all ready to jump on this general for his so called anti-semitic joke. But, I listened to the joke and found it to be VERY funny. I am Jewish and very sensitive to anything that smacks of anti-semitism. This does not. It plainly illustrates that Jewish people are known by others to be as a whole, an intelligent group. This joke demonstrates the great moral lesson that: “revenge is a dish best served cold”
However, the far left sees no humor in any ethnic joke because they are too busy playing their PC crap game. If this joke had been about an African-American, a Mexican, or a gay, no matter how tasteful,……the ACLU, NAACP, La Raza, ACORN, Al Sharkton, Jesse Jackson, would have been all over this guy.
The joke has been around … evidently the general has not.
That the joke is told in quiet circles is absolutely meaningless.
That the Prexxie’s NSA tells the joke from the dais, after the relentness assaults of this administration on our truest middle east friend, Israel, tells us all we need to know about the dullard and fatuous empty suits now guiding our national security.
Sorry, not seeing/feeling the outrage…
“Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has accepted an invitation to visit the White House for a meeting with President Obama, senior Palestinian officials told Fox News. ”
Obama will bow down deeply, pray to Mecca with him. He will not get dissed like Israel was. Obama is a closet Muslim and secretly hates Jews and want’s Israel destroyed. For the first time in my adult life I am not proud of my country nor it’s leader.
Come on….give the man a break. He’s a progressive Democrat. This was clearly a joke and liberals a progressives dont have a racist bone in their body
Myron Cohen(?) of the old ed Sullivan show could easily have made this into one of the funnest jokes ever told.
All his jokes were Jewish put downs but not anti-Jew. Just plain funny.
This administration is so openly racist it sickens me. Jew jokes? Calling for the black and hispanic vote again in Nov? The great divider..
Ok, thats it! Where has Reverend Sharpton proclaimed this march to take place? Im there! Huuh…whats that ? Sharpton hasnt commented on these racist remarks? Someone go to Arizona and tell him that Mr Jones home is where the protest should be held. Not in a place where 80% of the people oppose your position Mr Sharpton!
YES WE CAN! SI SE PUEDE! SI SE PUEDE! http://www.BorderInvasionPics.com
bizarre.
I can imagine the left screaming bloody murder if the administration was Republican and a joke like this was told. I don’t think it was racist but the Democrats need to go. Their double standard mentality is a joke too.
this is a take off of a joke about Hamas featured on aish.com’s jewlarious website!
If Jews can take a joke
why the heck can’t all of you!
How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a light bulb?
None….I’ll just sit here in the dark…..
Who cares, big deal. Ask Mr. “Blankfein” if he thinks he is still doing “The Lord’s work” He and his wall street buddies, they are not greedy are they?
INVASION NEWS @ http://www.OneOldVet.com
Try telling jokes about the Islamic Prophet Mohammed and see how far your progressive humor gets you. Ask the Dutch and the Danes about that…P.C. is all one way, just like rediculous “hate crimes” special treatment, all one way.
Anti semiticism is rampant on the Left and untra-rtacism as well…just like during the Civil Rights movement-the progressives were the biggest barrier to individual liberty and personal freedom, still are! Not the condescending handouts and elitist biggotry driven “Model Cities” which destroyed Detroit and Flint…taking away individual responsibility and the fruits of our labors-it’s re-distribution for equal miserable results…
ANYONE WHO IS SHOCKED ABOUT THIS MUST WATCH ABCCBSNBCPBSNPRCNNCNBCMSNBC – HEY THEY LIE PEOPLE THIS PRESIDENT BRAGS ABOUT BEING THE SON OF HIS FATHER, A PROUD MUSLIM MAN, WHAT, PRAY TELL, DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU IDIOTS?
MUSLIM MEN ARE NOT FOND OF JEWS AND GAYS, ARE THEY? SORRY THAT ISN’T A RIGHT WING MYTH, IS IT? NOW WHO IS BEING STOMPED ON HERE, JEWS AND ISRAEL, AND THOSE GAYS WHO KEEP LISTENING TO LYING LAWYERS SCREW THEM FOR THEIR VOTE.
(SORRY THE IMPEACHED STAIN PROMISED YOU TO CHANGE THAT MEAN OLE ‘DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL’ LAW TOO AND KEPT YOU VOTING FOR HIM FOR 2 ELECTIONS, SUCKERS).
NOW WHILE THE PREZ AND HIS ADMINISTRATION WORRY ABOUT THE FANATICAL MUSLIM’S CIVIL RIGHTS AND OVERBAMA IS ALL IN A WAD ABOUT THE ILLEGAL ALIENS ‘CIVIL RIGHTS’ – HEY FELLA, WHAT ABOUT THOSE LOWLY AMERICAN TAXPAYER’S CIVIL RIGHTS…………….
REAGAN WON 44 AND 49 STATES RESPECTFULLY AFTER THAT SOCIALIST PIG CARTER………….THE JEWS AND LOWLY UNION GUYS (NOT THE BOSSES) VOTED FOR REAGAN………….THEY WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN NEXT TIME BECAUSE IT IS CLEAR THAT OVERBAMA HATES ISRAEL AND YOU SUCKER JEWS THAT VOTED FOR HIM.
I HAVE BEEN TO THE HORRIBLE DEATH CAMPS FROM THAT PIG HITLER AND I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT IT FELT LIKE FOR THE JEWS THAT VOTED FOR HITLER AS THEY WERE WALKED IN THE GAS CHAMBERS……….HOW DOES IT FEEL TO WATCH YOUR PRESIDENT FORCE ISRAEL INTO A WAR WITH IRAN, HOW DOES THAT FEEL? DON’T YOU WISH YOU HADN’T SOLD THAT IRRATIONAL BUSH HATRED TOOOOO HARD, HEY WHOOOPIE, HOW IS OVERBAMA TREATING YOU NOW AFTER YOU GAVE HIM MONEY TO SCREW THE JEWS………..HERE IS A GUY IN THIS ADMINISTRATION TELLING THIS DEMEANING JEWISH JOKE–YOU WOULD HAVE BEAT BUSH WITH A STICK IF ANYONE HE HAD EVER MET DID THIS, WHERE ARE YOU NOW?BECAUSE IT IS A DEMOCRAT TRASHING YOU, WHERE ARE YOU? ARE YOU WITH THE BLACKS PROTECTING HARRY REID WHEN HE SAYS ‘LIGHT-SKINNED, NO NEGRO DIALECT UNLESS HE NEEDS IT’? ARE YOU WITH THAT GROUP STILL BEHIND THE DEMOCRATS, NO MATTER WHAT????
ASK ED KOCH IF YOU THINK I AM BEING TOO HARD, HE WILL TELL EVERYONE THAT OVERBAMA IS A LIAR AND LIED TO THE JEWS AND STILL MY MEDIA PROTECTS OVERBAMA, NEVER FORGET THE IMPEACHED STAIN’S NUMBER ONE WHITE HOUSE VISITOR WAS YASSAR ARAFAT……………..YEAH…….AND YOU STILL VOTE FOR THESE GUYS, I DON’T GET IT.
Actually this wouldn’t bother me at all if we could poke gentle fun at all groups. Only if one group is singled out either for ridicule or special protection is there a problem.
This is an old joke….Just shows how smart the merchants are to create a demand for ties……..
How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?
Only one….but the light bulb has to want to change.
It what’s known as a joke! Timing/delivery bad, but joke has merits, especially if a jew tells it. Stuff shirt speakers always try, and usually fail, to start a dry speach off w/a joke, maybe he thought it appeal to audience as taliban & israel are important players in our national security – so he’s a Schmedric, what a surprise. My offering: Jewish Dilemna – ham at half price. (ohh the offensiveness-cover your eyes)
the joke also stereotypes all muslim as being in the taliban…. jews ARE greedy merchants. get over it. no apology to be made.
That was pretty funny. No anti-semitism here. If Mel Brooks told this joke to a bunch of Presbyterians no one would think twice.
That being said, there is no doubt in my mind that the illegal Alien Muslim sitting in the Oval Office is an anti-semite of the first degree and hater of the Jews, which is ironic because American Jews could not wait to get this guy into office! Hey, you lie down with dogs…
Maybe the Jews will see the error of their ways come election day.
any jew that loves israel yet votes for obama needs their head examined
Thank you! And try the veal.
Um… so… um… this is one of our country’s National Security Advisors?!?! REALLY?!?!
IDIOT!
I’m not Jewish and I find this “official’s” joke obscenely inappropriate and offensive. This guy is an embarrassment to our
nation. I hope he gets fired. I’m sure he could immediately get hired as Iran’s National Humor Advisor. Iran would LOVE his cadre of Jewish jokes.
Oh, and regarding the “Rabbi” who wrote a comment here – he misses the point. If the Rabbi likes to tell this lame joke to his CONGREGANTS… that’s one thing. (I still find the joke offensive.) But for a GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL to tell Jewish jokes is just wrong. I question whether the “Rabbi” who posted even exists. And if he does… Rabbi “D” is a Disgrace to his religion.
“…but the Democrats need to go…”
What a laughable statement. Let’s see, since Obama became president he’s brought the economy back from the cliff where Shrub left it, he’s making decisions based on science rather than theology (e.g. stem cell research), he’s restored world respect, we’ve got health care reform, we will soon have financial reform, and he’s already protected the nation from foreign terrorists longer than Shrub ever did. Yeah, so the country is recovering from the disaster of the previous administration thanks to Obama but “the Democrats must go”. How clueless and laughable. And how typical of a Teabagger or Republican to put the good of the country dead last. The really good news is that Obama will win easily re-election in 2012 for the benefit of us “Real Americans”.
And as this joke was being told, the Senior Senator from NY was fully engaged in speaking out against Spirit Airlines carry on bag fees and Facebook security policy. Good to know Up-Chuck is on duty doing the people’s business
It’s funny and ok because a leftist told it.
The crowd laughed pretty good. Humor is funniest when there is a bit of reality in it. The joke is a reference to control.
So what’s wrong in telling a historical truth. Why should the Jews be put on a pedestal when most financial scams are run by them?
What does a Jewish American Princess say after dropping a Ming vase?
It’s OK, I’m alright!
Can someone please tell me why any Jew would vote for these people? The libs hate Israel and they hate Jewish people. Yet Jews continue to vote for them. Why?
Oh, lighten up.
Isn’t this hyper P.C., B.S. EXACTLY what annoys conservatives about the left?
Does anybody really believe that by telling that joke, he’s anti-semitic?
I didn’t even take it to mean that he was trying to be greedy and sell him a tie. The joke was the merchant made him walk all that way for nothing as a way of getting back at the guy for all his insults.
It was funny. Were any of the Jewish reporters in the room offended? Seems to me the room erupted with laughter. I don’t think it would have gotten the reaction it did if it was so obviously offensive.
Just another attempt to take all the laughter and joy out of the world, and turn us into a bunch of sour pusses that can’t laugh at ourselves or take a joke.
I think it’s funny.
Who cares?
It’s OK to mock Jews. And Catholics, and Christians. White Males as long as they’re heterosexuals.
Just don’t say anything about allah and his gay lover muhhammedd.
For heaven’s sake, calm down everybody! If there was really anything anti-Semitic in tone or language in this joke, he certainly wouldn’t have told it before the Washington Center for Near East Policy, one of the premier pro-Israel organizations in Washington. And the audience would not have found it so amusing . . . unless you think they’re a bunch of self-hating jews.
What is astounding is that the jews vote 80% for liberal dems and the left has been very anti-semetic since Jesse Jackson ran for prs. Instead of admitting the problem and chamging the dems or going republican the jews make excuses for the dems (the Rabbi) and suppoirt them with money and votes
A psychiatrist should have a field day with this contradiction. The jews would back Hitler today if he ran as a democrat
Didn’t mind the joke a bit but don’t understand why the merchant had to be Jewish or Catholic or Muslim or “insert the name of your favorite religion here”. Would the joke have not been funny if the merchant had just been a merchant? Was it somehow funnier because the fictional character was Jewish? If so, why? If not, why not? I don’t like all this correctness either but I can’t help but wonder if the same folks who are so quick to dismiss those that find this offensive would be as quick if the butt of the joke was someone of a different religion, race or nationality.
He’s a retired general, Jews are our allies, and the Taliban are our enemy.
In that context: smart money will win any war when our “enemy” is in need and we have the goods.
Get it? It’s the art of schmoozing, my little schlemiel…Mind over matter, brains over brawn, the need for butter over bullets, or making the best of your enemy’s bad situation.
For the simple minds here, let me help you understand…..
Yes the joke was funny, I acutally laughed but there’s this thing called “decorum”. Would you tell this joke in Church? Would you tell this joke to your kids? Would you tell this joke in a bar?
In other words, there’s a time and place for everything. This was not the time or place, but these are the people this sorry excuse of a president surround himself with. The whole frickin’ Whitehouse is filled with idiots. Nobody in this administraton acts presidential or professional. Just a bunch of political hacks and “never had a job-ers” hanging out pushing their agenda on simple minded people….. “REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!!”
Inappropriate for a man of his position to be talking like this openly.
How could he ever think this was appropriate?
I wonder if he was telling a joke about a muslim marrying a 13 yr old girl, how people would react?
Write your Congressmen and Senators and demand that this anti-semetic jackass be fired immediately
Obama, his czar cronies and
EVERY ONE OF HIS SUPPORTERS ARE ALL RACISTS
and commy marxists.
His supporters are the sick half of American society. DAMN THE MOOCHERS
I’m a Jew. It wasn’t mean-spirited. I think it was racial humor and it is exactly the kind of racial humor we NEED to make people less concerned with race. Humor defuses anger. I think that joke would make a racist who hates Jews actually like them or at least lower the anger level, which is what leads to acceptance. Even the terrorist who is the butt of the joke isn’t identified by race.
Oh, come on. That was funny! And I did not get greedy merchant out of that.
Uh, wake up, people.
It’s a joke .. and it’s somewhat true. Don’t be dramatic about it. Let’s admit it. We’re all humans, this guy happens to be .. an advisor. Does he make a difference ? Yes .. but NO. Jews are really greedy.
Call me a racist .. .but I prefer “straight talker”. Here we go:
White – Very cool, I like them. Now, they can be a bit tricky to work with since they’re pretty smart.
Jews – Very greedy and tend to be stuckup sobs at times.
Middle Eastern folks .. I don’t know about them .. simply because I don’t want to die. So let’s not offend them .. and If I have a chance to say something about them . I would tell them to go to hell. All of them deserve to die.
Chinese – Extremely greedy/cheap individuals. Chinese women are sick b*tches.
Vietnamese – Rude, especially those men/women in the nail salons – uncivilized.
Black – very laid back to the point .. they don’t need to work. Those can’t survive out here .. thrive in prisons.
Mexicans – Very petty individuals. Yes they will cheat Alot. This is their land to begin with ..anyway I just can’t stand them because they cheat too much.
Oh, the Japanese, very sick people .. eating raw fish I loveeeeeeee this … However, they have the most perverted men on the planet with the smallest penis size per capita
)
Where the hell is Jesus ?? He’s having an orgy somewhere ?
joke not really the issue…just read how the anti-semites have come out of the woodwork on this site…just progressives showing their true colors…better wake up fast…the uglies and the constitution are butting heads…
First, let me say that I am Jewish. That being said, I do see a some funny-irony in it that’s not necessarily anti-semetic; in a way it was Woody Allen-esque. But that’s just me.
Now *that* being said, not the best joke to tell if you are the National Security Advisor.
It’s obvious that the Obama haters don’t know who this guys is – or they would be in love with him – however remove teh stick from you rumps – that is a funny joke – but yeah James Jones is a scumbag.
To onemadcooldaddy:
The speech was given at //a Washington Institute For Near East Policy//, according to the poster’s notation. Jew and Taliban are apropos for the audience.
So this black guy in the desert runs into a white guy selling ties and he tells the black guy to go to his brothers place for the water and the brother demands the black guy needs a tie to get in. The racist claims would never stop and Obummer himself, commenting on his typical white grandmother,(was his mother a typical white also?), would condemn their actions as only racist. However, racism only exists if you are whitey, all the rest are victims!
Joke’s pretty good. What’s lame is that only decent people can be the butts of jokes in America. The rest, which conform to their corresponding stereotypes even more, are considered out of bounds in polite society. What nonsense.
I can’t stand Obama and I’m Jewish. But that was funny.
Obama, when not golfing or blowing 10 trillion dollars,
is busy checking the law to enforce the immigration law is lawful.
OBAMA, JUST ENFORCE THE LAWS ALREADY ON THE BOOKS
FOR ONCE
WHY DON’T YOU
Obviosuly, this was NOT anti-semetic. It was a joke AGAINST anti-Semitism! Brietbart, do you folks really not get it, or are you just pretending to be that dumb? It must be one of the two, so which is it?
There is a lot of tension in general between blacks and jews. Both have been treated rather poorly by history, they should be kindred spirits, but are not.
Meanwhile, here’s a joke about an Arab being screwed over by a jew. Thanks Obama, for another moron.
Ok, here’s one.
4 Muslims run into a bar…
the American GI swings but misses the 5th one…
LOL! freaking hilarious!!
What? We can’t tell Muslim jokes???
ooooooh, I forgot, under this regime it can only be Jews or Christians attacked…
What a dumb ass!!
We all can see where Obama is heading!!
This joke was about Palestinians and Israeli Jews. Palestinians want something else other than what Jews and Israel is willing to offer. But he is trying to make a point that Palestinians do not know or understand that they will need what Israel is offering before they are able to get what they want. This is more an insult to Palestinians and their intelligence than anything else. But Drudge will twist anything and everything to favor Israel or Jews. Shame on you DRUDGE. Get a life.
I got one, a black, a Muslim and a liar walks into the Whitehouse…
Check clip at 1:47
You can tell as he remembers the joke he’s about to say JEW but then catches himself in mid-sentence and uses Merchant again. I guess he can’t get Obama’s version out of his head.
That joke wpuld have been funny if no religious or political overtones were used. Why couldn’t he have told it that way?
It’s unreal that a Gen. Jones still has a job! He should join the unemployment lines ASAP. Where is Obama? This is not the kind of person you want in an important & influential position. Obama surrounds himself with racist, socialist and bigots. Can’t wait till November!
i think it was funny. i don’t appreciate Drudge trying to make a big deal about it, or do i see it as depicting anyone as “Greedy Merchant.” to see it that was is just to get a rise out of people. shame on Matt Drudge. ( and i’m a regular reader !? ) makes me wonder what his motives are elsewhere. beware the author’s intent. blessing go all. cheers.
This joke is at least 20 yrs old, thus no originality points due to Gen. Jones.
The version I heard long ago contained no references to Jews, Taliban or other ethnicities; such references are not needed to elicit the humor, or the embedded wisdom. It is unfortunate that Jones chose to recast the joke to reinforce an ethnic stereotype, which no doubt is consistent with his worldview.
Max
That’s a trick question. There all one guy!
That was harmless. It could have been any nationality but he chose Jewish because the Taliban hates Jews. People are far too sensitive these days and, as someone of Jewish descent, I thought it was pretty funny and, in no way, offensive.
I think this joke is more about how stupid the arabs are than anything else.
I think that this anti-muslum joke should make our Emir’s Generalissimo get extra protection for insulting moeHAMit’s people. He should watch his back.
This “joke” mocks moeHAMit, not the Jews and as such brings out the violence.
Hey conlawprof April 26th, 2010 – 10:17 am
You imbecile… He was appointed by a phoney ineligible criminal who happens to occupy the White House and he will be removed by elections when we get rid of all of the ANTI-AMERICANS in our government..
It was pretty obvious to anyone whose brain actually works!
But thanks for reading!
Snailmailtrucker
Snailmailtrucker – you’re a dolt. General Jones will not be voted out of office in November because he was appointed by the president. If you represent the best and brightest the Tea Party has to offer, we’re all F’d.
again CONSERVItives ARE MORONS and LIARS
This is not over the line. Maybe he’s standing on the line with his toes dangling on the wrong side. If it doesn’t get any worse than this the republic will survive. Let’s save the outrage for something outrageous.
Generals should do what they’re trained to do. It’s not open mike night sir.
http://911essentials.com thinks maybe if we paid more attention to the fact that the government is slaughtering innocent people that he wouldn’t think he’s so funny.
BREITBART . . .
BREITBART YOU ARE AN ASS!
This was a FUNNY JOKE!
I’m Jewish and I was not offended.
You could have substituted any ethnic group and it would not have mattered. There is nothing inherently JEWISH about this joke.
YOU ARE SUCH AN ASS, BREITBART, JUST TRYING TO STIR UP TROUBLE . . . YOU ANTI-SEMITE.
Old joke. Still funny. Lighten up.
YR,
If a Bush advisor had said this joke the libs would have screamed racism at the top of the mountain tops until you had his job and his character assisinated.
im jewish and love it..and will use it…
The Jewish people gave the world the bible….and have fought since the begining of time to stay alive…its time the liberals and racial fools stop naming the Jewish people for all their woe’s.
Someone made the all-important point that this is HYPOCRISY – the liberal elites always talk condescendingly to us about how racist all of us average Americans are when THEY are actually the true racists and race-baiters.
They play both sides of the issue with the Jews – on one hand acting as if they’re the arbiters of what’s anti-Semitic and offensive, and then on the other bashing the Jews for running their own country and mistreating the Palestinians and their terrorist leadership.
As an observant Jew, i must say that i don’t find this offensive at all, and really fail to see why some people commonly find slights where none are intended.
I thought it was funny. We, conservatives, cannot be hypocritical and get upset about a joke and then say how liberals can’t ever take a joke against them. I thought it showed Jews in a good light actually. Showing how much smarter they are than the Taliban and the like.
Not an Obama fan at all (not a Jew either), but that joke was hilarious.
It’s not so much the joke but the double-standard by which it is reported. If this were a republican or during a republican administration, MSNBC, the NYT, CNN, CBS, ABC, and NBC would’ve been all over it. Obama can make a joke about the Special Olympics, his administration can tell a Jewish joke (which I found funny and not offensive), and trust Joe Biden to speak in public, and nothing is reported.
Comments are enlightening & more relevant than joke-by far. Noteworthy that nearly all jews posting here have no problem w/joke and that many ‘conservatives’ do!? So he should be fired? No double standard there, sticking to principles are you? or are you just behaving like opportunistic fascists like the liberal hypocrits you despise? Our country is being led by a marxist anti-capitalist but to start demanding that non-PC joke tellers be fired is insane. Stick to the real problems, like anti-Israel foreign policies, sure joke can be interpreted to fit into anti-jew, anti-capitalist worldview of the scum running country-but alas it’s a joke and a pretty good one, especially if told by a jew. Some posters here really are anti-semitic:
Read concerned
I thought the joke was funny. The way it was delivered not so great. If you want to see some really anti semitic comments read the comments on this posting. They were horrid in many cases. Yes I am a Jew. I love the one about the Jew being so cheap that he would cast out his first born. Anyone I have ever known of my community has sent their children to college,medical school or law school and has provided quite well and beyond what most parents do for their children. Jealousy,and anti semitism rears its ugly head hear and not in that joke. Jews have survived because we can laugh at ourselves. We have produced some of the greatest comedians in the world. That is another tool of survival.
This Jewish guy thought it was cute. The only reason that it appears to be “off color” is because we know if it were said about a “minority”, it would be an outrage.
We have become a society where we can’t laugh at ourselves.
And will be be asked to step down as advisor? The Dems would be screaming for this had he been an advisor to a conservative, or maybe not since many Dems seems to dislike Jewish people and the recent policy on Israel shows this. They think prejudice can only be against people who are black, brown, or gay. It seems to be fine with them to be prejudice against anyone else.
saying this joke is offensive to Jews is a strech.
Before everyone calls for General Jones to resign, take a good look at his career and think about the possible replacements Obama would appoint.
I was expecting some outragious fautpas, but broke out into laughter. Excellent joke.
As for the touch jewish community….. give it break why dont you.
Agree with all attacks on Political Correctness that is destroying FREE SPEECH. Reputations are EARNED and DESERVED when people talk about anyone. Besides, it’s FUNNY!!!!
The PC slime of every group have tried to destroy humor in the USA and it is BACKFIRING ON THEM. Enough is Enough. Missing Desi, missing other comedy shows and standups that could relate to AMERICANS without debasing humor to underpants.
I am a Rep. and thought this old old joke was still funny. please don’t try to make something out of nothing. Plenty of other issues to do that with.
Anyone who thinks that joke is anti-semitic needs to get a grip. It was funny and actually made fun of the Taleban, not Jews. Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I too am a left-winger and would like to lie to you that I’m a Jew and that I am not offended.
Lib dems are racist.
It’s about Jews being smarter than that Taliban mutt.
It’s very funny.
He should be proud of that joke.
It is cutting at the Taliban, not disparaging of Jews at all.
Way to go!!!!!!!!!!
Were is the hate , you guys are so desperate. You don’t have any credibility
anymore .Just lies lies and more lies .The Right is dying and you are one of the reasons .
Just wanted to respond to an asswipe poster named “jdl” who calls the General a bigot and also states:
“I’m a US Citizen and a Christian next and this bastard needs a 5×5 cell to think for 6 months!”
First off, for a Christian to put country ahead of God, is nothing but a fraud. I assure your jdl, there is no flagwaving in heaven… or hell. Unfortunately there are tens of millions of evangelical christians like “jdl” kissing the asses of an elite group of people who consider themselves chosen and superior to him only because they wrote it in their own bible and most who are not even related by bloodline to the original Hebrews.
Big fan of Breitbart and about as anti-Obama as it comes but this isn’t offensive. If it is, then I argue that it is no more offensive to the Jew than to the Muslim in the joke. Obama’s policies against Israel are despicable and something silly like this waters that very real message down. My point of view.
Umm, do any of you know who General Jones is? He is certainly not a Democrat. He’s a lifelong, registered Republican and one of McCain’s closest confidants. If you don’t believe me, look it up.
Would appreciate a comment from a Jew on the previously mentioned teachings of the Talmud..
Does it really teach it’s OK to kill or rob a Gentile (Heathen)?
To TonyL: the scenario: I and a neighbor lay claim to a piece of land, but at the moment I am living on it. Since I first moved in other neighbors banded together and tried to run me off. My land-claim neighbor is now empowered and refuses to negotiate with me, but instead continually tries to burn down my house. I respond in kind- or worse- but instead of saying to him “f*ck you” in total, I am still willing to find a compromise, but first he has to acknowledge that I’m not leaving and he has to agree to stop attempting to burn down my house. But now the other neighbors who had banded together to run me out have decided to use my land-claim neighbor’s argument with me as their cause celebre for my removal. My land-claim neighbor is now no more than a useful tool in an agenda distanced from our original land-claim discussion. They are now serviced by the greater community in their favor just as I am serviced by a greater community in my favor. My neighbor and I have each been swept away by the tumult. I no longer address “our issue” when I address our dispute. And I am willing to tell my backers to get off of mine, especially when the greatest of my backers decides to favor the coalition endorsing my land-claim neighbor.
In the end I will tell everyone to bug-off- I’m not leaving, and, if you won’t give my peace a chance, I’ll tell all to go and f*ck themselves.
IN OTHER WORDS: my actions will insure my survival regardless of to whom my survival is, at the very least, an irritation.
Hey, lighten up. It was funny. Let’s get rid of all the PC.
A conservative Republican
Yes this joke is antiemetic because of Jones’ use of a Jewish merchant and the punch line fed off of the Jewish stereotype. I just wonder what the outcry would have been if the punch line used a black merchant.
I am NOT shocked at Jim Jones joke. He is one of those few military people, who is MORE politician than soldier. For a college trained striped pants diplomat, one would think he would know better than to exhibit his ANTISEMITISM.
This is MORE SHOCKING than the joke:
Brush up on your Talmud.
Sanhedrin 57a . A Jew need not pay a gentile the wages owed him for work.
Baba Mezia 24a . If a Jew finds an object lost by a gentile (“heathen”) it does not have to be returned.
Sanhedrin 57a . When a Jew murders a gentile, there will be no death penalty. What a Jew steals from a gentile he may keep.
Baba Kamma 37b. The gentiles are outside the protection of the law and God has “exposed their money to Israe
Meatheads of the world unite! WOW. This guy is saying what his administration must be thinking. Sure does explain Obama’s stance towards Israel.
Well, those of you who think this is funny (even if some of you say you are Jewish), all I can say is that when you are a public official and your bosses pretend to be the most PC people in the world. And, they continue to say that words do count, why mess with jokes that are ethnic in nature. We all know that Obama is no lover of the Jews or Israel, so this kind of thing should upset anyone who is paying attention and is not an anti-semite. This joke would have been just as funny (or upsetting) if an Arab, Italian, black, or whomever was used in place of a Jew, but the choice of Jew is somehow acceptable to too many of you, but I’m sure you would have been upset if your own race or ethnicity was used. This is how Jews were treated by the Nazis and the Germans before they began rounding them up. To me, as a non-Jewish person, I am alarmed and ashamed that the Obama administration would allow this without calling this advisor out on it. I am not saying he should be fired, but he cerainly should be reminded that he should watch what he says in the future.
Man, that really is a stretch. It’s a joke about a couple of Jews jerking around an antisemite — that is, unless your take on it is that we’re supposed to be sympathetic to the taliban.
In the manufactured outrage department, this one’s a flop. Not even a good try.
Just think of the fall out if it had been a joke about Black people!
Barry Barack has to fire this person immediately and make an apology to all Jewish
people. We all know how Barry feels about Jewish people and especially the Prime
Minister of Israel but Barry does not speak for all of us in that regard, even though
he is the President. Just watch how much Barry slobbers all over the head of the Palestinians
when he comes to the US for a state visit. It will be totally the opposite as to what he did
for the Prime Minister of Israel.
Not bad.
A funny joke about a couple of Jews jerking around an antisemite
Almost as funny as Jewish American bankers jerking around main street
Funny joke or not…. we ALL know if it would have started out “2 Black Men with Saggy Pants are standing on the corner drinking maddog and eating watermelon and ribs” the world would come to an end. The media and Demorats would be screaming for heads to roll, Al sharpton would be passing out, and Jesse jackson would be in front of more TV cameras than news reporters….
I love the double standard…. as long as we make fun of WHITEs (or those that appear white) its ok.
I am not offended by the joke, but it was simply stupid to say it at that
event, and stupid people should not be in high positions.
And to “Concerned American” You forgot to mention that the Jews use
Christan blood for the Matzo, How did you overlook that?
News flash…Israeli’s are NOT our allies,they are spies,extremely expensive parasites and engage in subterfuge like no other when it comes to assisting their beloved homeland(and it’s not America)
That was FUNNY. C.G. Jung “First don’t be insulted” He was not nuts Siggy Freud was.
It appears that Obama’s National Security Advisor was sucking up to the muslims in the audience. THAT is more revealing than anything. The joke wasn’t funny and it doesn’t ring true. Jews are known for their compassion. (Probably why they voted for Obama.) What did muslim nations do for the Haitians after the earthquake?
Those who point to ancient Jewish regulations re: gentiles do not take into account that Judaism, as with most religions–except Islam–has been reformed over the centuries. Personally, I found the NSA’s comments disgusting.
Guys, come we are stretching on this one. The Afgan is the one made to look bad as a typical Muslim who hates Jews. It is the Jews who got the last laugh. Which I believe they will some day.
The Jews were crazy about Obama when they voted in 08.
They received what they deserved.
Ok, well that was Completely Harmless.
(I’m a conservative so that tells you I’m not an Obama kind of guy and this is a big to do over Nothing).
Since Jewish jokes are in, I guess it is okay to do black jokes now! And, Blond jokes too. They have been around a long, long time too!
I was waiting to be offended, but then I broke out laughing. That was a good joke – even with the stilted delivery.
wow – who would have dreamed there would be a RADICAL in this administration? Hey, Chuck Schumer – you sleep with dogs, you get fleas – keep scratching Chucky.
nothn will happen.. but we all know if a republican would have said this . the libs would CRY AND CRY AND CRY .. I HATE FN LIBS
It wasn’t offensive, but I can understand why this guy is a general and not a stand-up comic.
Good God.
Can we imagine the OUTRAGE if this presidential advisor had used a MUSLIM or AfRICAN AMERICAN or HISPANIC group as the butt of a joke??? (Of course the outrage would only be if a non progressive said it).
He even prefaced the joke by saying “This is a story that I think is true”….
This is a deliberate action to denegrate Jews and to desensitize the public. Where is the ANTI DEFAMATION LEAGUE? This is a VERY slippery slope! This is an intentional jab at Jews to get people to think negatively about those who are Jewish and in teh financial sector. It is REVOLTING.
This is the land of OPPORTUNITY (to date, before Mr. Obama, et al destroy it).
LMAO!! Oh man, that was hilarious!! Wait, what?? Oh, no, no, it’s okay. It’s fine to mock the Jews. First the president treated the Israeli prime minister like the plague and now his NSA advisor is making jokes about them. It’s the new “bringing together” of this administration.
What is going on in this country?? Never has there been more race/nationality
BS going on and on and on and on – this President and his Administration are
way off the track – way off. These are people in leadership positions – even the
President himself pulling the race card – let alone all the class distinction
nonsense we have to swallow. Washington DC needs a complete overhaul – clean sweep!
I do not think the big wigs in Washington DC understand – “we the people” expect
more – more than a President that belittles every business – many professions -
all people rejecting his politics – a Vice President that uses the lowest type of
street talk on an open microphone and makes a joke of it – we expect more -
we expect more.
A merchant in the unlikely position of operating a small store in the middle of Taliban country is characterized as “Jewish”??? Further, the “Jew” and his family are characterized as perpetrators of unfairness and exploitation, of the victim, a poor Taliban man. THIS is funny? NO!! THIS IS ANTI-SEMITIC. Had this scenario actually happened, the “poor” Taliban man would have been an insurgent and he would have killed the “Jew” no doubt by slitting his throat and/or beheading him. It seems that the reality of the relentless and pervasive hatred of Jewish people by Muslims and especially fanatical Islamic terrorists, and their declared goal of a second holocaust escaped the Obama administration??? Or are they just OVERLOOKING it?
The anti-Semetic behavior of the Obama administration is becoming more and more blatant as the top level of his advisors feel safe to make anti-Semitic “jokes” on CSPAN no less. This, while the Obama administration makes cynical overtures to Israel after first publicly bullying them and then humiliating their leader. Does this administration actually believe that a single Israeli would trust this anti-Semitic President. As an intelligent person, he could not have spent 20 years with the disgusting Rev Wright unless he agreed with his anti-Semitic views. No one can spend twenty years at a supposedly Christian church and OVERLOOK the anti-Semitism of its leader. The true colors of Obama and his administration become more evident daily.
Of course the left are not racists …
These people are the most cruel, vile, dispicable lot that has ever walked the face of the earth. The sooner the leftist are dumped into the dust bin of history the better.
I am Jewish and voted for John McCain. Frankly, I think President Obama and those in power leave little to be desired. But seriously, the joke in various forms has been around since I was a kid and I’m 54. It’s still funny, and was well told. People need to learn to laugh at themselves and not be so hypersensitive about their ethnicity or religious beliefs if jokes are told in a non-malicious way as this was. This is a non event.
OMO
I thought that was a funny joke and not really insulting
Pre-req for membership for his staff: anti-Jew and anti-semitic
Hey, if it’s funny it’s funny. I don’t take offense to redneck jokes. Jews shouldn’t take offense to Jew jokes. It’s not necessarily anti-semitism. It’s merely taking a characteristic of a particular sector of society and making light of what may be culturally accurate. It’s no different than making fun of my toilet planter box on the front deck of my trailer. What a bunch of f***ing crybabies.
The joke, when told by a Jew about a Jew is funny…not an appropriate “joke” to be told by a politician in a public forum, with issues about Israel on the forefront. It either showed a lack of tack and understanding on Jones part, unless it was intended to portray Israel unfavorably, which in that case it was probably not that successful anyway, because the Jew actually tried to help the guy by selling him the tie in the first place and shows the Jew know more about things than the “other” guy, who should have listened to the Merchant. The “other guy” could have been anyone, but Jones, to “set the stage for his following remarks” chose to make him Taliban…I’d like to know what his “following remarks” were.
Old joke. First heard it from an Israeli friend. We both thought it was funny. We’re both Jewish. Totally not offensive. Unlike this site and many of the comments here.
lol first off you have “obama’s” in order to link him to the joke … then you emphasize “jews” so people are careful to look for race … then you say “greedy merchants” to stir up controversy… the joke was funny lol had nothing to do with “greedy merchants” you wrote that assessment in there … lol and it’s quite ironic that all these people in the comment section below are so shocked at so called “racist” joke and but then submitting their own brand of racial humour in their comments for shame lolololol
that was a funny joke! I’m a Jew and I have to tell you, my dad tells it much better that the Goyim (unflattering yiddish word for a christian). It may have been in poor taste as well, considering his audience, or his profile. The real problem is the double standard. We tell jokes like this amongst ourselves all the time, and embrace the the humor. If a black guy calls his own brother the ‘N’ word (one I would never say out loud) apparently that’s acceptable as well, black guys call white guys ‘crackers’ and stuff all the time, and we don’t get upset about that either, but as soon as a white guy calls a black guy the ‘N’ word, it’s not OK, cries of injustice ring out! it’s racism, it’s an abuse of free speech that must be stopped by any means necessary or rioting will start someone should be sued (frivolous litigation is just another form of entitlement) or have an unflattering article written about them, or the big giant heads will center weeks of ‘talk’ around it …..
yet we continue to enjoy, or not so much, our 1st ammendment rights in this country, the supreme still upholds what’s good for the goose is good for the gander whether you like it or not
we may wish people used their heads, or show more restraint and they don’t… but We’re Still Free …to say all the stupid things we want, and draw negative attention unto ourselves ….!!! because we’re American !!!!
I’m proud to be an American,Conservative,White, Female, Jew !!!!! all of it Yea!!!!!
Very funny. The first time I heard this one was in a cabaret in Berlin in 1938. I laughed my a** off.
I think the point of showing it is to point out hypocrisy of the left. Since he is one of theirs not a word of offense over the joke had it been a conservative they would have been screaming how he needed to be removed and how this type of humor shouldn’t be tolerated from someone in his position and blah blah blah.
How can you not think that joke was funny? Oh, you’re offended b/c someone thinks less of someone else? Ahhh… silly me.
Let’s be honest, it’s better than the punch line would have been if the Jew hadn’t found him before the Marines did…
A Talib was wondering for days wanting food and water, and finally he came across some Marines. But instead of dropping his weapon, he raised it, so the Marines shot him. No more Talib.
…who’s offended now?
You got to be kidding me! There is nothing wrong with this cute joke. Anyone who finds offense is way off base and much to sensitive. Get a life!
Well according to the rules of pc, he should be arrested and executed. Oops, forgot who he works for so it can be treated as just a joke.
Just imagine what the level is of the Jewish jokes being told BEHIND the oval office doors…Obama and his motely crew are no friends of Israel.
It appears Gen. Jones was not being malicious towards jews, but as you can see, even an apparent harmless joke, can potential add fuel to a fire. As a jew I was not offended, but in the context of a public statement, in a world of misunderstanding, my question to Gen. Jones, is why tell the joke? What purpose did it serve?
As a Jew, I find nothing anti-semitic about this at all. In fact, I’ve heard different versions of the joke tailored to different opposing ethnicities.
Actually, I heard the “JOKE before too. Only it was about a NAZI wandering around in Europe in 1944 and finding a “Jewish” store and a “Jewish” restaurant. Only difference was that when the NAZI came back to the store to complain to the JEW about the Jewish exploitation of a “thirsty ” man, the NAZI arrested him and put him in the truck with the rest of his family and sent them all off to AUSCHWITZ. Funny. Right?? Anybody getting my drift???
When is he going to make a joke about mohammed or muslims? Will that be funny, and not be malicious?
that joke is hilarious! Come on! you people are fucked. Ann Coulter comes up with ditties that would make Hitler blush, and gets away with calling it satire. This is a funny joke that you’d be hard pressed to find an offended Jew ANYWHERE. If the ADL says something, then maybe your “outrage” might be partially validated. Until then, please don’t act all offended ‘on behalf’ of jews you fucking hypocrites.
The addition of the word “jewish” is totally unnecessary to get whatever humor there is in this story. It’s a racist slur, pure and simple.
Political correctness will kill this country. Not only does joking make people laugh, which is good for our health, but it often captures ‘folk wisdom’ that everyone knows to be true. As a southerner, I’m sick and tired of ‘redneck’ jokes (the only politically correct prejudice today), but most such jokes have at least an ounce of basis in truth. Yes, there is a danger of perpetuating stereotypes, but that’s nothing compared to the danger of a ‘politically correct straitjacket for the mind’. The Progressives and Communists know that by controlling the language they control the thinking and thereby the people.
I say enough is enough. Down with Political Correctness.
When you morons elected a Muslim president that hates Israel and the Jewish people and sympathizes with Islamic terrorists that would destroy America, this is what you should expect from his appointees.
Didn’t the Nazis use this kind of “humor” to depersonalize their Jewish population just before murdering them?
Why didn’t he use two Scottish brothers? It wouldn’t have made a very good anti-Semitic joke then? Would it?
Mr. Jokes, You’re an anti-Semite and so is your boss, the pResident. You disgrace the office.
I guess he will have to be replaced by rev wright. Obama by his own actions has shown his antisemitism, he has always surrounded himself with people of the same antisemitic leanings. He even bows, and kisses the hand of a Muslim leader. He has continued from his first day in office to threaten Israel, and insult its people, and even the leader of Israel..Yet some dolts still deny it. This is the most openly antisemitic, anti-religious, and racist administration in over a century. The KKK now has competition.
I’m Jewish and find absolutely NO offense in this joke. What happened to the days when you could tell an ethnic joke–black, jew, pole–and not be labeled a racist? I think it’s called politcal correctness. Maybe we should just get over ourselves a bit.
“Just imagine what the level is of the Jewish jokes being told BEHIND the oval office doors”
Well OK, just imagine the level of jokes being told behind Bernake’s and Goldman’s doors
Funny stuff, eh mate?
Jews not greedy?! LOL YEAH RIGHT!!!!
Outrageous! He goes very well with the other anti-Jews in the Obama administration!! If anyone in the Bush administration had told this joke he would have been fired.
I find it amazing..with all of the Jews in Obama’s administration..even his mentor, Ayres, all of his Jewish backers in banking and media..what gives..do we have two separate groups of Jews living here..cause one group doesn’t care what anyone says about them or Israel.
Terry, your comments are outrageous. Why separate the State of Isreal from any other U.S. ally? Israel would stand by the U.S.A. if ever called to. The only reason I think you made your comments is because somewhere within you lies a hatred for jews and Israel. I feel badly because it’s people like you who would be suspicious of their friends because of a perception the exists in your head. Clear your mind. Every country has their own interests, but every country needs allies. Sell your soul to the oil producing countries and you might end up with a democratic society that doesn’t look anything like the one in which we live today.
Way too much “PC” sensitivity … This is funny ……
Kidon is not powerless. Hard to believe the low I.Q. and arrogance of U.S. leaders these days. The joke would have been funny if it did not reference the Jewish steriotype. With the current state of affairs in the Mid-East only a moron of an NSA asdvisor would have said what this man said.
Instead of demanding the guys resignation or firing (agrred if he was hired as a stand-up as his delivery sucked), here’s something to hyperventilate over: Obambi has committed $20,000,000,000,000 in new unfunded liabilities / 120,000,000 taxpayers = $176,000 per sucker! His START treaty and nuclear policy allows Russia to boycot our own nuclear defense (unlike Russia we don’t yet have anti-ICBM protection) he dropped our airborne laser defense program & refuses to ‘weaponize space’ despite it already being weaponized; he trashes our allies and encourages enemies; he divides citizens and industries into victims and oppressors more than any other leftist in history and all this (+ much much more) in under 2 years, think what he can do if Dems stay in power. Our very survival is at stake and yet people get all hissy about a JOKE – do we deserve to survive or will we be become wards of a bankrupt welfare state, like so many defenseless drama queens after their broadway show “Yes We Can” goes belly up.
Lighten up… it was funny.
So are these…

And these…
http://usataxpayer.org/?0056296805
We would ALL be better off if we could share humor as easily as we do insults!
Yikes! I can only imagine the uproar over that being said by a Republican.
Depicting the Taliban as a victim and the Jew as being mean truly sets the setting not just for his speech but for the entire Obama policy. Obviously the story could never have happened because the Taliban would have slit the Jewish mans throat, but that doesn’t stop Jones from prefacing that he believes it happened – meaning even if it didn’t happen it could have happened. Never thought to highly of this man so no surprises here.
My family are Jewish. I watched this video clip, trying to A) think objectively and B) get the whole context…and hoping that I’d see a broader point the man was making, and that certain people were simply jumping a bit too hastily, with this, and/or simply being oversensitive to it. But, after hearing the whole clip I was left a bit puzzled as to what the overall point of it, was. ‘Typical’ joke, you could say, but…it just didn’t seem like something that would fit in with whatever else he was speaking about, and that made me ask ‘then why say it?’ (also considering there’s only a single Jew left in Afghanistan, last I knew, made it especially seem out of left field). I concluded that at best it was a case of poor judgement and poor taste…and with Barack Obama’s record thus far with Israel, to a lot of folks it just doesn’t look good, all put together…yes, perhaps that has nothing to do with it, but that’s the kind of ‘2 and 2′ that people do and you have to think about things like this in advance because the damage can be substantial. Plus of course the sheer HYPOCRISY involved…if a conservative Republican administration had someone who said this, we all know from sheer experience that the other side (THIS guy’s side!) would be calling for his resignation, criminal investigations, chumming around with Jews in front of the camera and proclaiming how ‘antisemitic’ and ‘insensitive’ it was, etc etc etc, ad nauseum. Bottom line, I wouldn’t have made the joke — it wasn’t appropriate.
Who cares about a politically incorrect joke. The world needs more of those.
What I wonder about is why politicians, since Reagan, are, to a man, unable to tell a joke.
Those on the Left here, making excuses for this man are showing your hypocrisy…period.
it’s interesting to see how some of you are quick to quote the Talmud, (not to mention that a religious Jew won’t learn Talmud without commentary which puts it into perspective, which is obviously not taken literally..) just look at history have we made Pogroms, Crusades, Inquisitions, Holocausts against the “Goy”? and dont mention Israel and the Palestinians, which is something new, people were complaining about the Jews long before this ever happened.
We are a small people and always will be, but we do just fine. Look at what we have and are currently contributing to the world at large, wether in the fields of Science, Medicine and social justice etc. We believe that every person was created perfect, as it says in G-Ds image just as Adam and Eve weren’t Jewish. never the less they are our grandparents as well.
These conspiracies are ridiculous and the fact that some of you call yourself educated is appalling. as someone who has studied Talmud in depth for the last 15 years, I take offense to these comments. Shame on you.
I’ll be very honest here. I am no major fan of General Jimmy Jones, the disgrace of the (USMC) Marines and the pride of Hamas, but this isn’t an anti-Semite remark, in fact, much less than the manure crapped down almost 20 years ago by his buddy and fellow RINO, James Asinine Baker, or even by Jonesy’s boss, Messiah Chimp (oh, Libs, don’t forget to call me a Racist, right?).
Rather these are the somewhat ignorant remarks by a guy who couldn’t tell a joke to save his sorry soul. Zbig and Scowcroft were much worse National INsecurity Advisers, but Jimmy is coming up fast.
If he cannot tell that the Israelis are the closest allies the Marines could ever have; that Obama prefers those who slaughtered his fellow Marines in the Beirut Barracks, and that principle and patriotism do mean something, he deserves to be totally ignored once we give his organ grinder little pal the boot.
Can someone PLEASE tell me if this tie matches my bomb vest?
Straight from Webster’s:
anti-semitism
Pronunciation: \ˌan-tē-ˈse-mə-ˌti-zəm, ˌan-ˌtī-\
Function: noun
Date: 1882
: hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group
Sorry, folks….ain’t nothing in that joke hostile or discriminatory toward Jews.
As much as I despise Obama’s political philosophies which he uses to justify “fundamentally transforming the United States of America,” anyone who’s offended by this joke needs to grow a pair of cojones – and a spine wouldn’t hurt, either.
Jews have told jokes like this amongst and about themselves for centuries. The Taliban – the terrorist – was the butt of the joke, for crying out loud. Neither Breitbart nor Drudge does any good by taking offense to such innocuous humor.
Let’s drop the attitude that says “we can be just as nit picky as the left” and focus on the real dangers to America and Her free enterprise system – The Community Organizer-in-Chief and the radical left wing ideology which is systematically eroding our freedoms and liberties from Washington to every corner of the nation.
And still, the great majority of Jews in America will vote again for these Jew haters. How many times in history do we willingly board a train to our own destruction?
-Never again.
To all of you that say that this is just a joke….this is the start of antisemitism. It starts out as a very mild, acceptable, personable and forgivable comment. When society accepts that, it gets progressively worse, and worse, and worse, until we have something like antisemitism in Russia – with discrimination on every level of society; and occasional assaults and murders of Jews. It can get worse. It will get worse, unless Jews stand up fro themselves. Can you imagine what would happen if this clown would joke about Islam? What about him joking about African Americans? Most sane nations would be outraged. But yet, Jews are sitting there laughing with antisemites, about how greedy they are! Same antisemites that want to destroy them and their country. This shows that we are already in the first stage of antisemitism. Wake up before it’s too late.
breitbart…….”greedy merchants”….stretch much
It starts as a joke with the Liberals – they put you down, then come the physical attacks. If you’re a Jew, better watch out because Obama’s people don’t like you very much. Look at how they treat Israel.
Every once in a while, when the leftists get a little too comfortable, they accidentally you know who they really are- racists.
The joke was INAPPROPIATE. If it had any mention of “black”, racism would be screamed all over. I can not wait till November and when Obama goes.
He has done more harm is SO many ways, I lost count. He is one racist, elitist, socialist, man from Chicago who was groomed for where he sits now.
I wish there was a law to show your birth certificate and can’t understand why there isn’t, it’s absurd. I would be willing to bet Barry was born in Kenya.
Can we get a Kenya joke somewhere? The biggest joke is that he is our President and there are people still defending him.
Concerned American. I am really concerned about this particular American who feels his voice is not heard. He is so American he probably didn’t even use his voice to Vote. Why would he? Jews probably own the voting booths. This individual probably has been taught or brainwashed to not watch TV, read a Newspaper or book, listen to radio, go to the movies, etc. because underlying all these media the jews are manipulating the “real” Americans. Sad to know that there are people in America who believe these things. Last night on 60 minutes, Diane Sawyer asked a group of muslims, who they believed was behind the 911 bombing. One individual stood up and said he believed America as behind the bombing, so it had an excuse to declare war on the Muslims. Diane couldn’t believe it, but moved on realizing some people’s minds just can’t be changed.
“Actually, I heard the “JOKE before too. Only it was about a NAZI wandering around in Europe in 1944 and finding a “Jewish” store and a “Jewish” restaurant.

Previous injustices in no way immunizes a particular group against jokes or ridicule.
I am descended of 2 American Indian tribes, Irish and German people. Does that mean I should be offended by jokes that feature Indians, Irish or Germans? Please.
So, to answer your question, no, I do not get your drift. The joke was not about the holocaust so your “drift” is pointless to the conversation at hand.
Well shisalphin…my family are Jewish…I don’t know if you’re Jewish yourself but if you’ve really studied Jewish belief (of course I mean ORTHODOX Jewish belief) for any length of time whatsoever then certainly you know one of the basics of Jewish life and conduct: don’t ever speak ill of others, or even INADVERTENTLY say something that would diminish another person, in their eyes…let alone a community or an entire PEOPLE, which is a particularly severe offense. That is considered in effect KILLING that person or community, because you’ve slandered them to others. Now, such stringent requirements are only required for the Jews, themselves (although Gentiles would do well to follow them also; they work for everybody and can you imagine a world without any further slander or gossip?), however in bringing up this matter the way you did, you’ve engaged in LOSHON HORA, yourself, against other posters on this site. It’s easy to do, I know, but that doesn’t mean it should be done.
If it’s not antisemitic, then it would have been just as funny if he had just said “An American merchant.”
However, whether or not it was antisemitic is really besides the point. Look, sometimes people go a little too far in trying to be politically correct. But why are Jews not protected by the political correctness that protects every other group? Jones wouldn’t have ever ever ever dared to make a joke about a Muslim with terrorist tendencies. If he had, you can be sure the Obama administration would be down on its knees licking the dirt begging the Muslim world for forgiveness. And you can bet that most of the people saying of the Jewish joke “Hey, lighten up, it’s no big deal,” would be saying “the vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists… blah blah blah…”
The point is that since this is an age of political correctness, Jews should be very concerned that the National Security Adviser felt comfortable telling the joke, and that so many people in that audience laughed so heartily.
i am jewish, and i will tell you that there is nothing at all tasteless about this joke. it is quite tasteful and funny. in fact you could make the argument, which i do, that the merchant is a very kind person telling the taliban man where to get water, especially after the taliban man said that him and his family and Israel should die. i DO think the only anti-semetic part of this is the person who gave the title to this, he is the only one that is obviously anti-semetic
The video is too short; it doesn’t give ANY of the context of how that joke fit into his talk. It’s an old joke, it doesn’t depict Jews as greedy merchants – it depicts their disdain for Arabs who demand everything as though they deserve it, (the original joke was an Arab not a Taliban). At the end of the day if the Arab had been cordial, not insulted the Jew and had asked for water instead of demanding it, maybe the Jew would just given him a tie before sending him to his brother’s restaurant? We’ll never know for the SAME reason we’ll never know how things will turn out for Palestinians who show zero respect for Jews just because they are Jews.
“There will be no chance for peace until Arabs learn to love their own children more than they hate Jews.” – Golda Meir
Do not, worry, when Obama pees on the Liberal Jews they say it is rain and they are offended at all.
I’m a Jew (and a right-wing one at that), and I think this is an incredibly funny joke. You don’t see it coming until you get right to the end. Keep in mind, that GEN Jones is talking to a pro-Israel thinktank when he makes that joke, so its kind of an “inside baseball” sort of thing.
People need to relax. This is a pretty generic joke – you could replace “Jew” and “Taliban” with almost any two opposed groups in history and it would still be funny.
He tells it poorly and slants it with politics by saying “poor Taliban”, but this IS funny. People are way too sensitive these days, and everyone is a whiner about the least little thing. Of course, if Sarah Palin had told it, someone would be collecting an award this year for their expose of the racial extremists in the Tea Party. My verdict: Much ado about nothing. We all have bigger fish to fry- so let’s fry ‘em!(that is figurative and not literal for all you oversensitive Libs)
For those of you that don’t think this is offensive – substitute Black man for Jew and the tie comes with a side of watermelon. Now is it offensive?
Why didn’t this Bigot just continue with his comedy routine and tell a few Rastus and Liza jokes? I am sure the President would have been amused. (right!)
this country has lost it’s ability to laugh at it’s diversity. that’s sad. the joke was funny. bring back don rickles.
It’s not funny because as a joke, it is decades old, has been around the entire internet at least 5 times. It is not in poor taste IF you don’t buy into the liberal political correctness BS. However, since no conservative could have gotten away with telling that joke without liberals jumping all over it, the libs should get at least a taste of their own medicine.
General Jones is the last guy to even attempt telling a joke. He is so unexpressive, it’s pathetic. Thankfully, he was never a Marine Corps D.I.
He’d have never gotten his message to the troops. He could not have been practicing for another career, although before 2012, he should be working at it.(if he still wants to contribute whatever “value” he’ll have after the Obama tour.) Personally, I took it that the “joke” tried to obliquely describe the business acumen of a Jew in Afghanistan, despite all odds.(Afghanistan of all places!) And, the dogmatic Islamic Jihadi, who had no answer for the Jew. He took the bait and went for the water! The merchant had him “zeroed in” the whole time, and Gen. Jones ought to keep “zeroed in” on his job yessing Obama and shuffling papers. What a sad demise for a Marine officer! And, I fully expect Jews to continue supporting the Democrat Party. They’re masochistic. After all, as intelligent as they’re supposed to be, they’re still voting for Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Hey that was funny! It wasn’t offensive at all.
and to think the Jews voted for this administration.
Pretty FUNNY!!!
Lotsa Jews working hard as oil riggers, structural iron workers, linemen for the county, and as fire fighters across the country. Right ? NOT.
What would Muslims say or do if Gen Jones was telling a joke about Muhammad ? Of course Gen Jones reputation speaks for itself.
Very funny joke. I hadn’t heard that one in a long time. Not the best delivery but still very funny. Jackie Mason would have done it better.
You know, its really not that bad, but the problem is it doesn’t work the other way around. If it was
a black joke he would have to resign. Lets face it, we all need thicker skins. But All this political
correctness BS has gone too far. I agree with Bobster – we should be laughing at ourselves, truly
relishing our diversity. But ‘Diversity’ has turned into just another political tool.
Here come the real “tea baggers” to the rescue of one of Odumbo’s goons.
Was the joke funny…yes. Did it need to be put in a religious or ethic setting…probably not. The BIG point, as has been mentioned is the hypocracy that will be exhibited by the left in ignoring this awkward joke. It probably should be passed over, BUT, would it be passed over if Dick Cheney, Condolezza Rice, or Rush Limbaugh told it as an ice breaker joke to begin a speech. I don’t think so and that’s the real problem. Keith and that other sarcastic grinning partisan, Rachael Madow will just have for a Repoblican to mess up to make it their lead story for two weeks. Case in point, the kid who messed around in Sen, Landrau’s office was a major story…..heard much about the equally stupid kid that hacked Gov. Palin’s e-mail account and published her e-mails? I rest my case.
HJohnson, we didn’t elect him. He took it through fraud. He’s a usurper, and evidently there’s no one to enforce the law…
For those who have decided that the joke was anti-semitic, lighten up. You’re just used to hearing Jackie Mason’s delivery. A goy just can’t tell a Jewish joke well. But he tried. Hey you can’t steal that from him! (LOL, applause…)
As to Talmudic teachings, how about,”He who restores one life has virtually saved the world!” Think that works for the the big schmuck that was quoting Talmud out of context, out of ancient Israel, where the references are to pagan idolaters, and not to my Irish or Italian or Black neighbors? How about Einstein, how about Dr. Jonas Salk, how about every Jewish doctor who saved the life of one of his relatives. How about the movies and TV shows and comics you enjoy? (OK skip the porn guys. I don’t like them either.) How about the fact that the money that financed the American Revolution came from Jews. A putz like Mr. Wise-ass only sees his own misery and never sees what others have dome for him. I don’t mean just my people.
To Bitterweed: You ask, “Do we have two groups of Jews…? The answer is: Since the beginning of our national identity as the people of the Torah we have had those who worked against G-d and their own from within. There is free choice. We are given choices. The Court Jews of today’s administration have personal issues and problems owing to their ignorance of real Torah Judaism and their lust for power and influence. Throughout out history, In Ancient Egypt, Greece, or the Roman Empire, or Spain, or Germany, or the USA, the ones who most readily assimilate turn against their people and G-d.
80% of the Jews of Egypt were not redeemed and died in the Plague of Darkness. 80% of American Jews voted for Obama. I don’t wish them the same fate. So, to my own I say, “WAKE UP!” To the little anti-semites I say, “Grow like an onion, with your feet in the air and your head in the ground.”
What everyone seems to be missing from both sides is that the joke is on the Taliban guy. Pretty sad when our country has devolved to the point that you can’t even tell a good joke without offending the PC police … and I’m a conservative!
Oh please. Calm the f down you trolls who have nothing to do with the Judaic faith. Go foment hatred and the killing of the President somewhere else where your hides can’t be caught cause Im sure most of you “patriots” are sure thinking of an exit strategy once you commit a crime.
I’m thinking that Gen. Jones will be offered a membership to the Pat Buchanan “What do you mean, I hate Jews?” club.
:)
yes, if the shoe fits then wear it. Humor is based on truth. Jews are a weak, persecuted people whom if you offend will rise up and crush you to pieces. For a better understanding of Jewish beliefs and culture I can recommend the book “Judaism Discovered” by Michael A. Hoffman. It is not about race, but rather religious belief.
What’s next? Maybe some dead Armenian jokes.
I don’t mind this kind of joke, but the lady who suggested that if you changed the Jew to a black man and the tie to a side of watermelon is correct.
The lefties would be screaming. Shartpon would be bellowing and Jesse Jackson would be marching.
monkey see monkey do – bunch of moronic apes in charge
Knock-knock/who’s there?
Obama/Obama who?
Obama, the one who’s destroying the country, shredding the Constitution, dithering at war, nationalizing everything in sight, race-baiting, and leading his party over a cliff at the ‘10 and ‘12 elections.
Har.
The whole joke is kind of moot. The Taliban guy would have beheaded the Jew in real life.
For those whose comments are; lighten up it was just a joke…. where is your humor…. I would agree IF this joke was told to a group of friends or colleagues sharing a drink or a laugh after work. However, Gen. Jones is obviously appearing as Obama’s National Security Advisor and therefore in an official capacity. To tell this obvious atypical greedy Jewish joke is completely inappropriate to say the least. To say the greater, would be that it actually shows his contempt for the Jewish people and his leaning towards the Taliban. Nor, I am assuming did he continue in this vane of banter by asking where Muhammad is going to find 72 Islamic virgins for all those suicide bombers! Pretty insulting isn’t it? Or how about adding an off color black joke just to make sure everyone gets a good laugh. As you can see this would have been called a complete out rage by many in the media, with calls for him to resign. With no one demanding at the least an apology this stands as a litmus test to see where the respect and sentiment the nation has for the Jewish people and Israel.
Any politician who makes this type of joke about race or religion needs to go back to school and learn about RACISM.
I am against PC but cannot believe how this administration uses it to pursue it’s goals. They practice the old “do as I say, not as I do” method! The MSM is also complicit in their effort. Why does not the administration try to do a better job of governing instead of trying to be standup comedians?
Count me as a person who is Jewish (by birth) and who is NOT offended by this one. The answer to Political Correctness is NOT MORE PC behavior. When libs make stupid comments, tell off-color jokes, or let loose with the random “racial” remark, reminding them to be PC does not fix anything. When everyone starts getting that holier than thou attitude and reminding one another of who said what, WE ALL LOSE. However, posting such videos is a great way to just let folks see that no one is “perfect.”
Responding to the anti-semite racerx and his lies about the Talmud…
i am jewish and i was not offended and i actually chuckled.can’t we all get over ourselves..enough PC
Obama apologists abound. Their logic: #1) It’s funny. #2) It’s been around for years.
Okay, I’m sure I can find a long list of “old, funny” negro jokes on the web. Also some old hysterical Mohamed jokes. Wet back jokes – oh, my sides are aching! Let’s see the first Obama administration offical tell one of THOSE.
Right on Don! I’m a conservative that thinks there are plenty of reasons to go after the Dems without playing the liberal P/C games. It is not a secret that there is friction between the Jewish and Muslim peoples, why does this joke have to be about ‘greedy jewish people’? I think that a racial assumption was made about a funny joke.
Talk about a tempest in a teapot!!!! Not only is this joke not a racial slur against the Jews, it is rather a example of classic Jewish Humour. The kind that grew in the Catskills and comedy clubs of NTC. For those who need further enlightment may I suggest you google Henny Youngman, Mort Sahl, et al before casting stones.
Only the great Jewish mind could conceive of being “nice” to his eenemy and then sending him on a four mile hike in the desert!!
The Rabbi: I’m getting a chuckle out of your comments. You’re really a guy with a great sense of humor. (You should offer Gen. Jones an enrollment in your joke-telling seminar.)
I came up in an Irish-Jewish neighborhood back in the day and became acquainted with Jewish expressions. The word “Schmuck” is particularly accurate in 99% of the cases it’s used,and now it’s filtered into everyday English in certain parts of our country. For the edification of those who don’t know what it means, would you dare translate it to English with your own inimitable humor? I doubt if I’d have the tact to do it. Shalom.
God! You people are intense. That joke was hilarious!
Q: What do Drudge, Beck, Limbaugh, and Hannity all have in common?
A: None of them could even graduate from college.
Yet you trust them to control your important information.
Anyone who is not shocked by BO yet. Wait until He starts His ‘Presidential Pardons’. The day after He knows He will not be elected again You people are going to FREAK OUT! Tookie Williams “The man who started the Crip or Blood? Don’t know, but does it matter? Cell block C in The Marion, Illinois prison, Cell block D & E in Atwater, Ca. All Brown and Black people in San Quentin, California. ETC. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .IF YOU THINK I’M WRONG JUST LOOK AT WHAT HE HAS DONE ALREADY!
I thought the Jewish merchant comes out looking the best in that joke and the Taliban like a moron so don’t know what you all are whining about. Good job contributing to the culture of political correctness though keep it up…
Tea Baggers use every racial and cultural epithet in the book and you don’t report it. One joke in poor taste is made by a person from the party you don’t like and you are all over it. Hypocrite much? And by the way, people have been calling Obama “fascist” but I ask you, what is more “fascist” than “Let me see your papers?” like they did in Nazi Germany and now what they are doing in Arizona? I know you don’t want to be fair, but at least be consistent.
“stereotypes” are based on facts, a method of passing knowledge about.
We shall never know which came first, the chicken or the egg, but we definitely know that anti-GENTILISM preceeded “antisemitism”. Anti-GENTILISM is the cause of “antisemitism”. HUMANITY did not invent “antisemitism” and then wait thousands of years for judaism to appear, just so everybody could “hate” it for absolutely no reason. Judaism codified anti-GENTILISM, their hatred of ALL NON-jews, and the only SANE reaction of any NON-jew is self defense, which the “Tribe” calls antisemitism. Judaism consciously chose to separate itself from the Family Of Man, labeling ALL non-Jews GOYIM, GENTILE, SHISKA, and infusing Judaism’s very soul with venom toward NON-jews.
I am Jewish and offended by Jone’s crude joke.
Shame on him and those who have left offensive bigoted comments.
Steve: I think you got it all wrong. Maybe the Taliban guy would have tried to behead the Jew, but the Jew had a circumcision business also. He, being quick and accurate with the razor, would have done the towel-head in.
One on one, those Jewish guys have been holding their own, close-up and personal,against the towel-heads. I’ve been watching the news since 1947. Only when the camel-jockeys outnumber anyone do they prevail, unless it’s a knife in the back kind of thing.
Anyone who says they are a Jew and this is OK. It’s the same way Hitler started. THE DEMS NEED AN ENEMY JUST LIKE ANYONE TRYING TO TAKE OVER A LARGE PART OF ANYTHING. THEY NEED A BAD GUY, TYPICAL WHITE GRANNY, WHITIE, TEA PARTY, REPUBLICAN, JEW.
Ethnic jokes from administration bigs should not be a surprise to anyone, as Obama himself has stereotyped Blacks, police, bankers, the rich, doctors, insurance companies, big business, and who knows what else. Racists such as Vann Jones, Al Sharpton, and Jerimiah Wright are OK however, and there seems to be a special warm place for tax cheats. This is the lowest rent, least competent, and most banal government I have experienced in 50 years.
Insomuch as the holocaust was one of the most terrible events in human history, my question is how many centuries must pass before it is permissible to criticize Jews for doing today the same practices they did which resulted in the Holocaust in the first place?
Typical leftie troll posters here . The subject is Gen Jones & being a dufus telling a lame “joke”
But we get “Teabaggers,Rush,Hannity,Palin,Beck,Rednecks,Militiamen etc etc etc
Tell us all , leftie trolls , “how are things at the Huffington Post/ Daily Kos ” ?
This is America. Stop being so p.c. I don’t want our country to create a climate of fear where we can’t laugh at jokes or laugh at stereotypes.
I can’t say that I was horribly offended by this joke but I do wonder WHY it was told. Did this joke really need to be told in order to get his point across? I rather doubt it. Just another example of the amatures we have running our country now.
Hey, Stan Lee. Translations never do justice to Jewish expressions. The closest I can come is, “a schmuck has no cohones; ie he acts schmucky. His best friend, the putz, thinks he does.”
I hope that works for you!
Shalom 2 U 2, bro.
Notice how he called the terrorist a “warrior”. That should tell us all we need to know.
If you cannot laugh at this, then you are a little part of the problem of the Jews and Muslims traditionally hating each other.
I agree: the most offensive thing was his terrible delivery of the joke …
K: Along with those highly respected individuals who are non-college grads, most self-made millionaires didn’t graduate college either. So much for college. The people you’ve mentioned, plus those millionaires I’ve mentioned didn’t need remedial reading and math., so why would they need college? To listen to some burned-out hippie instructors spout their leftist politics? To select courses majoring in beer-drinking?
And, since college graduation seems to be an indicator of high intelligence in your opinion, how well did your President fair in college and which one awarded him what degrees? With all that being said,even you’d have to agree that he needs to return to elementary school. My 5th grade grandson knows that Austrians speak the German language. Obama didn’t even know that.
Why is a Jew setting up shop in land that doesn’t belong to him in the first place?
Oh wait……
Sounds like Israel is screwed with this administration.
Cogs- I hear you have a significant higher propensity to jerk off to your sister 10x a day….fact!
You folks who are offended must be kidding me. I’m Jewish, and I thought it was pretty funny.
As was pointed out on a Seinfeld episode where his dentist converted to Judaism so he could tell jewish jokes – it is an unwritten reasonable rule that ethnic jokes should be told only by someone of that ethnicity. So Chris Rock can make fun of Blacks with no problem, Lopez of Latinos,Jackie Mason on Jews. So unless Gen Jones converted to Judaism let him stick to Marine jokes…
people find it deplorable because its a dirty little truth and people are too corrupt to admit it.
This joke has been going around for a long time. I think it is funny and is not anti-jewish. However, when a high level government spokesperson tells the joke in front of a group it gives the perception that it is anti-jewish. Comedians and non-government spokespeople probably have been telling and passing along this joke for a long time without any complaints. These are the circles that the joke belongs in, not from a nsa head. I think we can all agree that if instead of a “jewish merchant” the words “muslim merchant” or “black merchant” had been used all heck would have broken out or if a member of President Bush’s inner circle had said the media would have been on this for hours and hours.
What?
We can’t make fun of the Pope, Jews, Muslims, who else?
In America, yes we can.
That is a very good joke! Can’t we say anything so innocent any more in this country before being accused of racism or antisemitism?
Hey Gen. Jones, got any Kenyan Birth Certificate jokes?
Very Funny. Lighting up everyone! Is so sad we can no longer tell jokes in this country without all this drama. Wonder what Don Rickles must think?
Hey Rabbi: Thanks for the translation. I got it a long time ago, have been using the expression since then and my wife detests it! Apart from the jokes Jews tell of themselves, I suppose the Irish have the repertoire of self-effacing jokes. ‘Sure heard enough of them from my Dad and uncles.
But, you had to do it, didn’t you? Now you’ve brought “putz” into the equasion! How much can the students take in one day? !! Take care, pal.
Disgusting….typical double standard!
I fail to find the antisemitism in the joke. Chalk one up for Breitbart trying to stir something up over nothing.
Had a Republican told this joke, all h*ll would have broken loose.
Go ahead and tell that joke in a public gathering, but instead of a Jewish Shop Keeper, make it a Black Democrat Shop Keeper. Watch and see how many Liberals laugh. Now let me axe you a question. Why is the story about the Jewish Shop Keeper funny, and the same story with a Black Democrat Shop Keeper isn’t?
I love and support Israel and I loathe the Obama administration. But it was a funny joke.
Don’t you have any shame.What a disgrace. Have we already forgotten that 6,000,000 jews died in German Concentration Camps. Is that the way we use our freedom of speech? I think it was payback time for Israel from the goverment for insulting them. Why are we paying somebody like that a salary. There are millions with no job, give his job to somebody who knows how to treat people/nations. To see real progress!
Christine
A good joke.
Just like I thought, a Socialist is a Socialist! Whether it’s a National Socialist or a Marxist it’s all the same! They are anti-Semites and sycophants all a bunch of racist losers! The Leftist’s when they are in power eventually resort to genocide to quell those who do not agree with their insanity! Away with them all! Tossers!
what’s really funny, all the lefty Jews tripping over their shoelaces trying to make this “joke” either funny, or NOT anti-Semitic.
call a spade a spade. what does it take to get you to see further than the hand that’s covering your eyes?
Al Sharpton, the race rioter is very proud of this moron right now.
Joe: I’m so sorry you invoked the name of Don Rickles. He could tell a joke, George Carlin could tell a joke, Gen. Jones can’t tell a joke. I wonder if his “advice” to Obama is a joke? Probably. Now the secret’s out…the Marine Corps got by despite Jones.
As is said in the Corps, “He don’t pack the gear.”
Lighten up, people!
I don’t think the General insulted anyone. As for SOME of the responses, now that is another matter.
I do think there is a double standard with jokes, however, and Jewish people can make or take a good joke every now and again.
I’d like to think the Taliban would laugh at it, but that’s wishful thinking.
Anyone with even minimal intelligence should have known from the time we learned that Obama had been attending Jeremiah Wright’s racist and America-hating church, that Obama would be equally racist. Only racists and fools could have voted for this guy.
Where’s the insult? If you find offense to this, you’re the one with problems.
Change Change Change….CHANGE OF FOOLS!
Why is he talking about the Taliban?
On Jews and greed:
JEWS COMPRISE LESS THAN 2% OF THE AMERICAN POPULATION YET ACCOUNT FOR OVER 85% OF ALL CHARITABLE GIVING. (Have a stroll about any college campus anywhere in the country; take note of how many buildings/institutions/schools bear the name of a Jewish major gifts giver).
Like all instances of antisemitism, the canard of Jewish greed is a wild inversion of reality. And this “joke” does not work as a joke unless a lie is taken as true — ergo, stark antisemitism lay at the base of it.
I like the joke myself. I don’t think it was the appropriate time and place for it, but I am sure we will see Mr. Jones forgiven by the Obama administration. Hay… it’s not like evil Trent Lott who wishes we were all slave masters.
Myron Cohen would’ve been proud to tell this joke. In fact, I think he did tell it. On the Ed Sullivan Show. In the 1960’s. The only difference was that he used the word, “Arab,” instead of “Taliban.”
It was funny then. It’s funny now. The problem is that everyone…on both sides of the political divide…tries to make hay with any tiny little particle of what they misconstrue to be a group “slight.” As a conservative I am sick and tired of this crap…no matter who is flinging it around. Yes, Obama has it in for Israel. But this joke is in no way an indication of that fact. The Jew in the joke comes off looking intelligent…and the outsmarted Taliban comes off looking like an idiot.
Hey Kateliz !!! Yeh right…all that bigotry and racism. Hey do me a favor. Tell all those movie producers, and hollywood people, agents etc who are predominantly jewish… tell them to ease up on the Jersey Shores, Sopranos, SNL skits and every other demeaning and slanderous ITALIAN stereotype that Hollywood and New York jews have been perpetuating against MY people.
Poor baby !!! can’t take a little necktie joke. Italians have been bashed, demonized and buffooned relentlessly continuosly and wholesale by jewish media for the past 80 years.
Alert – Interstate 90 will be closed through South Dakota on Wednesday April 28th. The Park Service will be transporting a Huge 200 Ton Lump of Coal to the site of the Mount Rushmore National Monument. Work will begin on carving Obama’s likeness April 1st, 2010.
Drudge and his butt buddy are just trying to get rid of Jim Jones because Obama’s administration is standing up to the war criminal Israeli government. I bet they have no problem with making Muhammed jokes. Hypocrites!
I love and support Israel and I loathe the Obama administration. But it was a funny joke…
Proving once again these are fascist running our country today. Starting from Obama down. If anyone can’t see that they are either fascist themselves or just intellectual nitwits. With all the history we have seen in the world how this type of thing takes hold we still want to ignore it. Then when the lives are lost and the devastation comes they always wonder how it happened. Well folks your living how it happens.
The story of the Israeli soldier who’d take an old,beat-up, Jeep from the motor pool, and do his patrol on the Israeli-Syrian border. Each time he took out a Jeep clunker, he returned with a new T-54 tank in its place.
Turned out,he had a deal with a Syrian “tank commander!” Jones could have told that one, I haven’t heard it for years.
And if you think that this joke is about “greed,” think again! It’s about INTELLIGENCE! The good guy (and I think most people would agree that anyone standing next to a Taliban is a GOOD guy) outsmarts the villain. That’s the thrust of the joke.
Hey Kyle McClain.. yeah they are great philanthropists… Like Carl and Ruth Shapiro who have their names all over wings of schools and hospitals. Unfortunately Carl was cooking the books with his pal Bernie Madoff, another great philanthropist. And the percentage of the money donated compared to the billions they stole is minimal. Yes they are a small population and control an incredible part of the wealth in the USA and virtually control YOUR congress and democratic process.
This is not anti-Semitic at all. I have told this joke myself!
Imagine if this was a joke about muslims! Obama would be on CNN begging for forgiveness from his friends in the Middle East and millions of muslims would be on the streets issuing death threats.
If this idiot was a Republican, his head would roll and he would be smeared all over the evening news on CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, AND FOX. But, he’s a democrat so it will largely be ignored.
OK, with all of the jokes about Catholic priests going around now, what did this guy say that was objectionable? Did he say that Jews were greedy? No. Did he say anything else derogatory about Jews? Of course not. So, we are left to ask ourselves why, if everyone concedes that Jews are wise and venerable retailers, would this be an ethnic slight in any way? You know the answer!!!
I feel duped that the media posted this as a hot news! Must be a slow news day.
This joke is an old standard, told by hundreds of dinner speakers. A Jewish friend told it to me once.
Get over it!
This guy added the whole part about the Jew forgiving.
I am jewish and dont take offence to this as most jews have a sense of humor. I have also heard this joke at another govt event. BUT the overt anti-Israel stance of this administration, and the the overt anti-semitism of people obama has chosen to surround himself with throughout his life is troubleling. No jew should be offended by this joke, but every jew should be offended by obama and his administration. What i find suprising is the amount of anti-semite obama supporters posting on this site. true idiots who are ignorant to our relationship with israel.
November Beckons: “Tea Baggers” itself is a pejorative expression born from your side of the political spectrum. We call ourselves “Tea Partiers” and as one who’s attended four Tea Party gatherings, I have yet to hear a word of racism or hate. Perhaps you’re confusing the Tea Party folks with the leftist rallies that are based in racism and hate?
Should you ever attend a Tea Party, even with one of your prepared signs, you’d find that you’d be treated courteously and given space. Maybe one of us would hold up a sign that states “I’m not with stupid,” with a arrow on the sign pointing to you, but otherwise you’d be deluged with kindness in the hopes that you’d come to see the light. We are mature folks who needn’t call names to make our points. And, our emphasis is on the U.S. Constitution, something that would be the last thing on your mind.
This administration is THE MOST RACIST in the history of the United States. Obama is the most racist president in our history. PROOF POSITIVE: His call for Blacks and Hispanics to rally in November.
Obama is dividing this Nation as NEVER before. The last time we were this divided, we had a civil war. Remember, it was a Republican President that freed the slaves, It was the Democrat plantation owners that held the slave. It was the Democrats that started the KKK.
Of all the deplorable and despicable things coming out of Washington, this little thing seems ignorable and innocent. I’m worried about the debt, the centralization of power, the trashing of the Constitution, the appeasement of dangerous foreign tyrants and the alienation of friends. A stupid joke I can live with. (And I’m Jewish.)
That’s pretty funny.. I don’t see how it’s depicting Jews as greedy. You can fit any nationality into it and it’d still be funny
Noise over nothing. Barking dogs will loose all their teeth chasing after low-hanging fruit like this. Keep your powder dry and focus on the real issues. This is the politics of distraction. Frankly, the comments are more entertaining than the joke. Though, the joke IS funny. I wonder how authors of these comments would feel about the non-pc humor of early SNL. You remember? Back when America could laugh at itself? Loosen up, folks. If you must bark like dogs chasing a car, pick the ones worth chasing.
Can you imagine if this had been under the Bush Administration.
McDonald’s new Obama Value Meal will be available on Friday. Order anything you like and the guy behind you pays the Bill!
Our President Obama gave the go ahead signal for all his AntiAmerican, Anti Christian, anti White, Anti everything that America has been, cohorts, czars and advisors in and around the WhiteHouse to belittle a race of people when he shamed America in front of the civilized world when
he snubbed an invited government Official from Israel. That was such an Un Presidential act that I was ashamed because of him. To think that our President is so egotistical that he would treat anyone that way but especially an invited guest is almost unbelievable. It would be unbelievable if he had not spent the whole last year doing the same thing to the American people.
He has been so intent on going to all those countries and apologizing for America being so dismissive and divisive and every other ‘IVE’ word he can think of, he needs to make a special trip to Israel and apologize for his boorish behavior. Of course since he is the President of America, he could blame it on America now that he has his whole czar advisor group following suit. Now his boorish advisor needs to apologize to America and American Jews as well as foreign Jews everywhere as well as Israel.
If he had told that joke and instead of a Jew he would have said Mohamed the Muslims world wide would be rioting, burning, and destroying everything in sight.
I am sure he would have been called on the carpet to the President and his mouth at least washed out with soap.
If he had said Black, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and all their wild acting crowd would be at the White House demanding an apology at least and have their lawyers out in force to bring a lawsuit to recover damages to the Black race. If he had said Hispanic or GOD forbid the “N” word of Hispanic, “illegal” all the illegals of whatever race but especially the low, that are doing the below minimum wage jobs that Americans won’t do would somehow have miraculously left those low paying jobs for a free vacation to Washington DC along wih all those rioting in AZ and all the militant Hispanic leaders and they would be rioting at the White House until the President and of course Homeland Security personel came out and groveled at their feet.
I would just for once like to see someone prove to me why it is acceptable for every race and nationality and/or religion to do all this and yet if a T Party person or White person , a Christian of any religion or Jewish person dares to object to any objectional speech directed at us it is perfectly ok and we are wrong for even acknowledging it much less openly saying anything about it.
The people who do this are the ones that are biggoted,racists,violent and they need to clean up the filth at their own doorstep before they start throwing their filthy words at any other race, nationality or Religion.
I imagine if one took the time to look back at world history he would find that every religion and nationality had things that they thought was right at the time but is unacceptable now.
Why do you not denounce the Muslims and their religion for murdering a person for a cartoon of Mohamed which is allowed and in fact commanded in their “Holy Book”? Oh I know how you get around that!!! Those are just the radical Muslims. Well if that is your defense then you had better go back to your spiritual leader and read the book again. It is the same rule for all Muslims. Some of them are just like some of every other religion…
they do not obey all they are told to do.
I am not against Hispanics, Blacks, Jews, Muslims or any other people or religion. I am against belittling anyone because of their race or religion.
I am only pointing out the difference between what is NOT allowed with everyone else and every other religion, but completely OK and even blest by leaders when it is against Whites, Christians and Jews.
So far I haven’t heard a peep out of any leader or White House advisor or even the President himself condemning this type of discrimiation.
This is why America is being dismantled a little every day.
One person, quoting picked out verses of the Talmud, was sure not to quote from the BIBLE that GOD says HE will bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel. That is true whether you believe it or not.
GOD’s WORD is settled forever and unbelief does not and cannot change it. {Genesis 12:3}
Yeah , how about in Columbia ? Then the clerk can give him a Columbian Neck Tie before he goes in the restaurant.
That is funny. And at its core, it’s not about Jews being greedy…it’s about having the tables turned in an ironic (and satisfying) way.
paolo – you nailed that one right!!! If Jewish Hollywood were ever held accountable for the constant and corrosive ethnic stereotyping that they do of Italians, they would’ve been banned from pushing any more of their cultural poison (i.e., Jerry Springer, Maury Povitch, etc.) from American airwaves and cinema.
It’s funny to me that the democratic leadership makes racist comments, and Obama today is asking for votes based on race, yet it’s the Tea Party who is racist. Ha.
Check out this hilarious Tea Party footage: http://www.funnyconservatives.com/?p=842
Let me axe you another question. What is the difference between Obama and Obama’s dog Bo? Bo actually has papers.
Lighten up people. It’s an old joke, and it’s funny. Don’t be so uptight. The PC has choked your brains.
I’m a Jew and I wasn’t offended. Thought it was rather funny.
I AM offended by the nut jobs elaborating on their reprehensible Jewish conspiracy theories on this board, however. Those are the people we should be worried about–not a retired general telling a slightly updated borscht belt joke.
That was a real good joke. You people better get over this sensative, politically correct crap. Let the Jews be jews, the talibam will continue to be terrorist, let the fat kids be fat, let the bullies be bullies and let the mexicans have work visa’s.
Unfortunately, this joke shows the continued anti-Iraeli attitude of the current administration. Yeah, it may be funny in a boardroom, or around drinks at the club. Not in this context.
Can anyone mention a single republican government in the middle east besides Israel?
And before you yappers start screaming about only jews blah blah, there are a lot of non-jewish citizens of the state of Israel, who have served in the military, who have fought for their government, their nation.
The continued degradation of the Israeli state is deplorable. We should be doing our very best to keep her existing, to stop the stupid “Palestinian” movement and stop believing the blatant lies by Hezbollah and Hamas and all the other islamic terrorist groups out to destroy the one democratic republic in the area.
And it wasn’t cool either when Dan Rather made the watermelon comment.
But if, oh, say, Sarah Palin or even Charlie Crist had made either joke or comment, y’all would want them hanging from the nearest tree.
Support Israel. Support the Jewish State. Wake up, you liberal jews. Don’t you see what your current government is doing to you?
Poor judgement in telling the story especially considering the current relations between Isreal and the US. The general could have told the same story and eliminated any reference to Isreal or Jews and not affected the punch line. What could have been a simple story was transformed into a political statement. Just another gaff by a member of the current administration. Unfortunately we need leaders not wanna be comedians in Washington.

It may be a funny joke, which it is, but he prefaced it by saying “he thinks it’s true.”
I don’t condem the joke but the set-up says it all we need to know.
I’m Jewish and I did not vote for Obama nor will I in 2012. I have to say that first because I don’t want to look like I’m just blindly supporting those clowns and that joke. I listened to that joke and I am not offended. Maybe I’m alone in this line of thinking but I just don’t care about jokes like that. People need to relax. That joke was actually kind of funny and could’ve been funny even if the merchant’s religion was not specified.
Also, I challenge anyone to find a pair of Jewish people who not only live in Afghanistan, but are capable of owning a business that does not get blown up by “the religion of peace.” The worst thing about that joke was the fact that Jews could never own a business in a country like that and still expect to survive very long.
we should let the jew humor slide
but when someone threatens violence for a mohammad cartoon………
This is an old joke. I’ve got a copy of Sinatra telling it back in ‘74. he told it to much much better effect. It was a Palestinian and a jew, and the punchline is delivered by the doorman at the restauraunt – who incidentally, is not pointed out as the “brother”. Sinatra, in full accent and vaudevillesque tone, has the doorman announce, “Nobody get in without a tie!” maybe I should post the audio?
So it’s partly in the delivery; but also somewhat inappropriate to the gravity of the topic at hand. btw, do the jews actually control all the shops and restauraunts in Afghanistan?
Yet, the Near East policy guys (many jews themselves) seemed to enjoy the telling of it – even though they most likely had also heard it several times before.
That was excellent joke. I was expecting something so much worse with all the crybabies convening here.
Anyone taking offense at this is a fake or a hypersensitive infant. And like someone else said, Breitbart et al, are simply revealing their desperation, as well as their cult-like silliness. No wonder America unequivocally repudiated these guys in 2008. This is a creepy bunch.
How did conservatism go from an intellectual juggernaut like William Buckley to a C-student like Palin or a lightweight parrot like Hannity? That’s the question they should be asking themselves, instead of wasting time pretending that James Jones is a racist.
I’m sure they had no problems with Jones when he was working with Bush/Rice. And they probably don’t see anything troubling with Limbaugh’s Obama the Magic N-word series either. But James Jones, at least under Obama, must be a foaming-at-the-mouth racist. Huh?
Time to grow up, people.
Hypocrites. Lightweights. Reckless emotions. It all adds up to America’s modern-day conservative movement. An undeniable case of intellectual devolution. In a word? Sad.
I’m Jewish and that was really funny. Stop getting offended at nonsense like this ‘news’ and focus on protesting the gross overspending and corruption in the White house.
Seeing how this Administration is treating Israel, is it no wonder his adviser feels a need to make a joke about a greedy Jew?
It is funny, if you’re a bigot.
Telling isn’t it? He uses the phrase “Taliban warrior.” Then he proceeds to tell the disparaging joke about Jews, which is what Jews really need in these perilous times for Israel, and all the world’s Jews. Right?
We await his jokes about mohamed, or Palestinian mothers who strap bombs to their children to blow up other children. But he won’t dare do that because those “warriors” might kill the smarmy — is “bastard” considered foul language here?
racerx :
You must be getting you information for anti-semetic websites. If you want the truth go to this website :
http://talmud.faithweb.com/
Brush up on the real Talmud, oh and the Talmud is not the holiest book in Judaism
kyle: a germane point, telling the entire story.
ira: there were 2 known (practicing) rather elderly jews (unrelated men) living in afganistan a few years ago — one of whom has since passed away, the other’s immigrated to israel. so that leaves… 0. but yes, as far as the anti-jews are concerned, the jews own everything in afghanistan.
His Hitler joke also went over great when he told it at his recent Bundestag stand-up appearance. Go figure……..
anti-semite Jones is. He is apologizing now on TV. I wonder how many push ups Obama will make the joker do for a ‘funny’. LIC- Liar in Chief.
Actully, Reverend Wright told that to Father Pfleger when told it to Sharpton who told it to Obama who told it to Jones. One big string of whacky comedians.
Before you say this is no big deal (and I don’t think it is that big of a deal), ask yourself what your reaction or what you think the reaction from the left would have been if this were Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc that told the joke.
follow the money. it’s rumored that Goldman Sachs owns the federal reserve. no one knows for sure because it’s a secret. Goldman Sachs is owned presumably by Jews. Jews do in fact own America. or at least more of it than they should. we have 45 Jewish congressmen, with 44 of those being left wing liberals. Jews don’t get it. i don’t trust Jews. but that man’s joke wasn’t offensive in my opinion.
I wonder if Daniel Pearl would have thought this would have been a “funny” right before the end…oh, those wacky talibaners, what a hoot they are.
I keep seeing the same comment over and over “get over it, it’s an “old Borscht belt joke”
OK, so let a Republican administration do an “Old Black Face” routine, and see how far it flies with the politically correct left. I vote for Don Rickles as the next National Security Adviser.
why do the jewish population still support this administration?
I tell you what, people! I support and defend all racial and ethnic jokes, whether they be about blacks, whites, Jews, Poles, whatever. Because humor lives in a world all its own. A surreal world where the only thing that means anything is “did you laugh?” For further information on this, see George Carlin and Dave Chappelle.
Nothing like a good old fashioned Jew joke! Hey, Gen. Jimmie, how bout a good old fashioned step n fetchit joke when yer at the White House? Ha ha! Love the racial humor.
Here’s General Jim following up with his Henny Youngman imitation. Not bad!
ughh,, im jewish and I find nothing wrong with that joke. But I do find something seriously wrong with this current administration. I am so confused as to how so many jews voted for this idiot. It didn’t take a genius to figure that relations with Israel were going to plummet as soon as Obama came into power. I just hope they dont make the same mistake in November yet knowing these Jewish liberals, they will.
Wow. Does anyone in America have a sense of humor left? Have we become such a nation of whiny cry-babies that we have to find hidden insult, an unintended sleight, or some type of offense at EVERYTHING? Why on earth does this joke make Jews look bad? It makes them look like they are abusing the Taliban guy in the joke, in a Marx Brothers sort of way. Why have we become such a nation of such sissies? Its like a bunch of five year-olds running to their mommies complaining about how some other kid touched them. The Left created this garbage. How pathetic and gutless they are.
If he’d told the joke about a Muslim, he’d have to worry about starting his car in the morning…
I think the political climate of the United States is such right now that any joke about any race or religion is offensive. Tensions are high. Clearly, he is an idiot for telling a joke like that.
I’m a proud American who is also Jewish and ultra conservative. We must learn to laugh at and with each other. This joke was minimally funny. Enough of politically correctness. It is destroying the fabric of our country. General Jones needs a good Jewish writer. He is probably using obama’s writers and teleprompters who are jewish [emanuel,axelrod] and are in a large way responsible for this administrations B.M[quoting bertha acorn jones].
I’m a conservative and thought that was just funny! Not sure how that can be viewed as bad taste, the joke that is. No matter how funny the joke was when you are at a middle east policy event you just don’t create jokes that involve the parties involved. What was the point? He is a former “military” general of the U.S., this was bad taste in itself. The joke was funny though! If any of you had visited the middle east you would know that this joke could be told about the Arabs or Jews as that is the way it works over there by both parties.
These characterizations of Jews as cunning and greedy are not to be taken lightly. These are the same libels that caused the inquisition, pogroms, massacres and finally the Holocaust. Anyone whose relatives have not gone up in smoke at Auschwitz, Buchenwald et al can freely dismiss this as nonsense. The rest of us should take it seriously, deadly seriously.
Anybody know the tea party position on financial reform?
It’s okay for the Obama people to tell racist jokes, but if anyone else does it, they’re forced to resign.
typical obama jew hater. it must be a litmus test to be in the obama gustapo.
Tell a joke about a JEW, and jews get offended.
Tell a joke about a Muslim/Islam and your on their death list.
What a dick.
So this Obama is walking down the street with a parrot on his head and I said cool where did you get him? And the parrot said: In Kenya there is a crap load of them there.
The real “joke” is Obama’s commitment to Israel. Anti-Semites.
The real joke is that this moron is a security advisor. This administration is sinking our country into the depths of hell of which we probably will never get out of. Obama is trying to make points with the muslims in any way he can.
Pretty soon the country will be flooded with muslims and owned by the chinese.
Health care, Immigration legalized, and controling business in the US is all the present regieme is concerned with, they say its the most important thing we are faced with.
WAKE UP AMERICA AND START ASKING YOUR REPRESENTITIVES WHY THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT ALL OF THE MAUNFACTURING THAT WAS SENT OUT OF THE COUNTRY BY CLINTON AND BUSH. WITH OUT MANUFACTURING THE US IS DOOMED!!!!! BUT THE THIEVES IN dc DON’T CARE; THEY’VE GOT THEY’ERS AND THE HELL WITH THE REST OF YOU.
The joke’s fairly funny. The media double-standard is not.
No sense of humor anymore. Everything is offensive to someone. Some Jewish editor/censor decided it was offensive so it must be so and we must believe it or else we are haters too. Give me a break.
Pretty funny joke. I laughed.
To all those incomprehensible people making those creepy stupid anti-Jew remarks, I suggest you take a look at a map of teeny Israel surrounded by mega countries populated by Muslims bent on destroying our only friend in the Middle East – Israel! I wonder if Obama’s National Security Advisor would have the guts to tell a Muslim joke? Silly question!!! Of course not! He wants to live another day to tell another feeble joke about another civilized nation.
BTW, I’m not Jewish, I am a Christian Mormon. Now you can start with the Mormon jokes. Or you can read some history books on Jewish contributions to civilization.
The joke is not so bad itself, it seems pretty mild to me. However his decision making certainly comes into question. That joke may be fine and dandy for me to tell to my friends Friday night, but I would know better than to tell that at a government press conference. What an idiot!!! How can you think it would be okay to reference any religion/race etc in a joke at a government press conference? He should be fired, for being that stupid, not necessarily because some may find it depicting the steropypical jewish merchant.
Political correctness will be the death of American freedom. That goes for people I support and ones I disagree with. While I don’t find the joke entirely appropriate or even all that funny for that matter, the idea that there is some kind of right people have to not be offended by stuff is idiotic and frankly getting tiresome.
Political correctness does nothing to change what a person does or doesn’t believe inside, it just makes people hide who they really are. If a person is a moronic bigot, I’d actually prefer the person not hide being a moronic bigot that way I know not to pay that person any mind. I can just stop for a second and say, “oh yeah, he’s just a moronic bigot” and go on my merry way.
If someone Jewish considers this a intolerable slight, apologize now to your ancestors who persevered through real persecution. This fool is meaningless.
Life is tough. Get a helmet.
Did he die?
Okay, I know we are all sensitive about our particular beliefs, but sometimes this stuff just goes too far. He made a joke in bad taste. I am sure some of us have done the same thing. As a matter of fact, I am willing to wager that, not only have all of us made a mistake before, but many of us have done or said something stupid today! Yes, I do not like the joke, and I am not willing to admit it was funny, because a) I don’t think the joke was very funny, and b) even if it had been humorous, one should make judgments on their own level of self propriety. I PERSONALLY do not like this joke, or anything in the realm of this joke. However, I think we have an ability to take things WAAAAAY too far when someone else makes a slip of the tongue. This guy should apologize, but some people here would like to practically resort to violence. I used to consider myself Conservative, and at that time I hated the violent protests the Left would involve themselves with on a regular basis. But I was blind to the violence on the Right. And that is when I determined that the veil of Political Correctness was nothing more than a ruse that allowed both sides to play race and religion cards as a means to violent protest. The whole game plays thusly: “Oh no! Did you see what [insert name of politician here] said?!? How dare he/she insult [insert name of race, religion, creed, color, etc.]! Well you know what the Left/Right (whichever side is opposite the speaker) would do in this situation… We should get an apology! This guy/gal should be removed forcibly from office! The President should be impeached! Let’s paint some signs up and start a movement!!!” The Right is doing this right now with the Tea Partiers, the Left has done this with violent race riots in the 60s, and so on, and so on. Both sides are guilty and complicit in this. Both sides push so hard for their agendas that they become blinded to reason, and eventually “might makes right”. The fact is that both sides get about half of what they want wrong. Most people in my generation like fiscal conservatism (true conservatism, not using money to push conservative SOCIAL agendas) and want lower taxes and fewer entitlement programs and supporting business to grow the economy and create more jobs and wealth. These things tend to be fought for only by the Republican party, but blindly as they push their own social agendas which are SO backwards it is embarassing. Likewise, my generation likes more social liberties, such as the right for anyone to marry, the right to choose (something I vehemently support even though I personally dislike it), and, essentially, the right of individuals to decide to do with their own lives and time. These tenants seem to only be supported by Democrats, but, again, blindly as they push for their bevy of entitlement programs which inevitably raise taxes and hurt business. The fact is that social liberalism and fiscal conservatism are not mutually exclusive ideals, and I believe this nation can be governed that way, but we get so caught up in propriety and our own versions of morality (yes, that includes you liberals and your bible-thumping like attitude towards environmentalism) that we are unable to move past our petty arguments and truly work together. As a Californian, I find myself in the center of a state completely caught between these two beliefs, and I have seen clearly that both parties truly desire one thing and one thing only; power, and how to maintain it. California is supposed to be this liberal haven, but we tell homosexuals that they are second class citizens that have no right to marry. How super conservative is that!?! Yet we would never vote for a pro-life Republican for the Presidency because it is unfair to tell a woman she has no right to choose. So, according to California, you can choose to end an unwanted pregnancy, but you can’t marry the person you love if we think it’s icky. At the risk of insulting someone, or more likely sounding horribly cliche, I have a dream that one day we will live in a country that judges people not by the color of their skin, nor where they go to church, nor what they do with their own bodies, nor who they love or how they choose to express that love, but by the content of their characters.
Sorry, I fell asleep during his delivery before figuring out if this was anti-semitic.
I am Jewish, it was a good joke. People shouldn’t be offended by what is true. People don’t like to admit the truth, but I can say there is much truth behind this man’s joke.
What seems to be lost on those defending the joke is the hypocrisy. More to the point, a joke like this is like chumming the waters for those that have hatred in their heart. The man isn’t up there as a comedian, he is a representative of this administration. What this representative just told the world is what this administration feels is within bounds. This administration has said repeatedly, pander to our enemies, slap our friends around.
The joke will be on all of us soon enough when we don’t have the strong bonds of friendship with the people who have been our allies for generations, and he finds out the hard way that those he’s pandering to respect strength and see the pandering as a sign of extreme weakness. Unfortunately, his wake up call is going to be the blood of Americans being spilled on American soil yet again.
The Obama administration is anti Israel and they really just can’t hide it. Where is Al Sharpton? This is a shot at a race of people that were almost exterminated! Shouldn’t Big Al be helping out in this debacle? To paraphrase the first lady in my own words. “I am for the first time embarrassed of my President and his minions”. He is systematically pulling the greatest country in the world apart bit by bit. Our President is an embarrassment to the world stage. Where we once led, we now cower in a corner! This is how the Nazi’s started. The only true friends we have in this world is Israel. Shame on you Mr President you are a menace to our country and the world. You are a racist, a Jew hater and a Christian hater.
At least he told it well :/
Context is everything. A funny joke for a bar scene, but I don’t believe a press conference is the place for something like that. It is a sign of a complete lack of self control, consistent with everything I’ve known and learned about this administration.
Okay, take a deep breath. Try to regain your perspective. It was a joke. A racial joke, but just ONE joke. The guy’s an idiot, but he didn’t hit the “Nuke Moscow” button. Jones’ joke was right at the same level as “We start the bombing in 5 minutes.” Remember Reagan? I love the guy, but it was a joke. A dumb joke. No nukes exploded as a result. Jones, don’t EVER start a speech with a joke again. And apologize again!
Well speaking of toleration and tasteless jokes, have you heard all the various radio call signs for Air Force One? There was “Chicken Hawk One,” which was popular with liberals under the Bush Presidency. Under the Clinton Presidency there was “Blow Job One,” which was very popular among conservatives. And then there was briefly “Water Mellon One,” which upset the congressional Black Caucus, which is still black only. BFD.
I think what offends most people is the fact that he will undoubtedly get away with this. Why? Because he works on the left side of the political fence. I didn’t find that joke very offensive. My half-Jewish wife would have probably laughed even harder. People are getting upset about this joke because, had a Republican (or someone working under a Republican President) told this joke, Democrats would have been screaming for his resignation.
Political correctness is nothing more than 21st century newspeak.
Oh come on! It was told by a Democrat, so it was funny. If it had been told by a Republican……not so much!
The Joke is funny but anti-Semitic in context. I’m Jewish and not overly sensitive. If Sarah Palin had said the same joke at an AIPAC convention, I would applaud.
Jones and this Administration are overtly hostile to Israel and reaching out to Muslims, even to the radicals like Syria and Hamas.
In that context, the message was offensive.
The Jews haters who are crawling out of the sewers (fulminating about “Jewish greed”) on this and other sites prove my point.
Here is the problem. This administration is yet again telegraphing to the Arab world that the USA is going to sit this one out if they (Iran in particular) decide to attack Isreal, our only true friend in the region. Dont forget thet will have a nuclear weapon in a matter of months (inevitable according to this President). This foreign policy invites war, and one that will bring instability to the world. It is classless at the very least, coming from what is supposed to be reresentative of the USA to the world.
There is humor in everything; however, this IS offensive because of the setting: The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. I can’t imagine anyone using this forum to tell a joke about an Arab and his camel, so why the double standard?
If his comment had been about muslims he would be looking for work. double standard with BO at the helm–we will crash on the rocks.
There was a time in America when this would not have been a big deal. Yes, Jewish people could tell this joke and it is okay. Chris Rock can tell Black jokes and it is okay. Paul Rodriguez can tell Hispanic jokes and it is okay. Jeff Foxworthy can tell redneck jokes and it is okay … actually anyone can tell redneck jokes and it is okay. (We really don’t care and a lot of us don’t understand them anyway.)
However, when someone makes the mistake of crossing the line and are not making fun of “themselves” it becomes racist.
So was the joke funny. Yeah it kind of was. Did it make fun of the Jewish merchant more or did it make fun of the intolerant Taliban man more?
Doesn’t matter really. We have politically corrected ourselves into being such a bunch of self righteous and holier than thou jerks that humor has no place anymore.
Remember that the next time you tell Redneck jokes to a redneck. We actually will laugh with you because we know someone just like that and can relate. It really is a fact that the most common phrase said before a redneck dies is, “HEY Y’all… Watch THIS!”
But, the point again is that were it a black man selling ties out of the trunk of the ‘78 cadillac, or something similar, the left wing would be so up in arms.
Face it, people think Sarah Palin is stupid for the “I can see Russia from my porch” statement even though it wasn’t her that said it. (Tina Fey did)
Yet, they think nothing of Obama for the 57 states, I see fallen heroes have joined us today, The 1968 March in Selma led to my birth in 1961.
There is nothing wrong with Joe Biden saying you have to have a slight Indian accent to go to a 7-11 store or motel in his hometown. No problem with Joe telling his good friend in a wheel chair to stand up.
Yeah. let’s see Sarah Palin tell this same Joke to a friend in a coffee shop and read the next day how racist she is.
Someday, this street will run both ways. But not while this administration and this Ideology is in power.
NAZI = National Socialist
How you liking your hope and change now?
lol i am jewish and although not really an appropriate forum for the joke, it was funny.
Who says liberal democrats aren’t Racist? LOL
What’s really sad, He was a four-star….Oh ya…Army…go figure.
And this is supposed to be appropriate? But we must insist on sensitivity elsewhere? I guess the Jews have joined the Italians in the FREE INSULT ZONE. Now not only are the “all Italians are criminals” jokes ok but “Jews are greedy” jokes are acceptable.
>Anti-GENTILISM is the cause of “antisemitism”
Absolute TRVTH.
If you’ve been hated for thousands of years and have to set up your own anti-defamation group, maybe you ought to look at yourselves and ask … WHY ?
btw, watch the PBS series “Carrier”. In the episode about faith a Jew complains he is only one of two Jews on the boat. OF COURSE – hard work and Jews are mutually exclusive. Start counting the ones that park their butts in chairs, run their mouths, and call it “work” … Stern, Al Michaels, Siskel, Ebert, Roper, Savage, Medved … go to DrudgeReport (himself a Jew, not exactly getting his hands dirty if you notice) and scan the links to other blog sites … 2/3 Jew.
Now ask that crew of road workers you see filling potholes if 2/3 of them are Jews.
I loved it! Very Funny!
As for the PC thugs on here, the heck with you. Where are you when White blondes, hillbillies, Germans, Polish, etc, are being joked about by Jewish comedians? Funny is funny regardless of race.
Is this guy on something?? Oh man…that was reeealy stupid! Hope he wrote his resignation BEFORE his little “speech”, ‘cuz he’ll more than likely have to find another job.
There is nothing wrong with a little humor even if it is a slight jab. If people can’t take a joke then that’s their problem. However, what gets me is of this was Bush’s NSA, he would have been skewered alive.
Silly joke, probably not the right time or place, but then that’s what this regime is all about.
As far as the ones who think they know what the Talmud says, please email me, we can discuss it. I think I can clear it up. Unless of course you are so closed minded that you don’t want to hear it.
General Jones is an anti-Semite as his boss is.
The key impact his joke – in his words “setting the stage” which “he believes is a true story” (note the touching of the nose which in body language indicates lying) is to promote good fashioned bigotry and hatred against the Jews.
It is obvious why he tells this joke as the theme and intro to his worldviews.
The administration is quite simply pro-Muslim pro-dictatorship and hence by proxy the voice for anti-Semitism and anti-American values in the White House.
What would you expect from an adminstration led by a man that spent 23 years in Jeremiah Wrights church.
The anti semitic racist, hatefilled anti american ” church”. Obama’s friend is Khalid Rashidi the spokesperson for Arafat, where they told racist jokes and Obama was know to be laughing right alone.
They are Farrakhan’s buddy’s as well, and gave him an award, so anti semitic bigots are friends with anti semitic bigots.
Sure Rev Al and Hymie town Jesse are organizing the Yeshiva for protests.
As a Jew, I am not surprised, we know Obama is an anti semitic by his associations and actions.
Notice he wants Black, Hispanics, the young and female to vote for him, but he forgot the Jews, Guess we are too busy being greedy to vote for the bigot.
America, you oughta be ashamed, remember first time shame on him, 2nd time shame on you!.
Why is this a story????
Libtards have been anti-Israel for decades because they hate the Armed Forces almost as much as they hate Jews…mainly because they can’t control Jews they way they do their core entitlement class constituency…
The only offensive Jewish joke from the Obama administration was the recent treatment of the Prime Minister of Israel by the President of the United States. I’ll hire Jones for my next stag party after Obama throws him under the bus…
Gee, what was wrong with that joke? I thought it was very funny. If anyone is offended at that they are just stupid morons.
Sure, its only a joke… what’s the harm? Here’s the possible harm: This guy advises Obama on national security issues that involve Isreal. Remember Isreal? Remember when she watched our back and we watched her’s? Well, we ain’t watchin’ her’s any more. Thank you General Jones.
This is a government employee!!!! There is a zero tolerance for this type of behavior while you’re employed by the government. This man should be diciplined. Considering he is in a leadership role, he should be fired. I’m not have to be paying his wages by my tax dollars so he can sound like a complete idot.
Three women from NYC go to florida to have some fun. They go to all the bars but never meet any interesting men. Each night they return to their motel room to watch TV and listen to the groans of someone making love next door to their room. This goes on for about 5 days and soon they will be going back home… so one of the women decided to ask the person in the next room where she is meeting all these men… she is shocked when an old jewish woman answers the door. She askes her how is it that she is having so much luck finding men… at her age?
Dalink! Ven I vas young, I gave it away.
Ven I vas older I sold it.
Und now that I am older still, I’m buying it back!
Being Part Jewish, I truely don’t find that one bit amusing, General! I will say this: Have You Heard The Joke About A Former Marine Corps General That Made Himself Look Like A ”Fool” In Front of the Washington Institute For Near East Policy! It’s Real Funny! (NOT!!!!!)
“The Talmud itself teaches
Jews to steal from gentiles,
in no uncertain terms.
If someone is offended by the joke, first the person should
condemn the Talmudic teaching that appears to be the justification for some rather unsavory and bigoted behavior toward goyim by many Jews – then we can discuss the joke.
Jews don’t get to teach their children racial supremacy and that stealing from gentiles is ok – only to turnaround and accuse gentiles of being bigoted for objecting to being targeted as a goy and subsequently ripped off.”
Racerx, this litany of anti-Semitic myths is completely false, and has been refuted many times over. You are only perpetuating the defamation of Jews by failing to recognize their acceptance of Righteous Gentiles as Children of Noah.
Just goes to show Obama and his followers are the real racists. They like to accuse everyone else while condoning this sort of behavior.
I thought it was funny.
bitterweed April 26th, 2010 – 2:05 pm
I find it amazing..with all of the Jews in Obama’s administration..even his mentor, Ayres, all of his Jewish backers in banking and media..what gives..do we have two separate groups of Jews living here..cause one group doesn’t care what anyone says about them or Israel.
————————————————
Not surprising – happened in Russia – once the commies got control through the support and efforts of the Jews, the commies longer saw any use for them they turned on them next and started to eliminate them because they knew they couldn’t trust them.
I thought it was funny and as far as jokes go I would consider this Ok for any public figure. You could insert any ethnicity to either ‘role’ in the joke.
That said, if a republican would have said this…it would be the leading story for the next two weeks until they got his head on a platter. Then they say this republican is overtly racist, that this is what all republicans say behind closed doors…this shows that ALL republicans are racist.
Typical double standard.
I wonder if Daniel Pearl would have thought this was a “funny” a few minutes before the end…those wacky talibaners are quite the hoot, absolute wonderful sense of humor those lot.
If a Rebulican said this it would be on the front page of the NY Times. Of course in THIS case it will get buried and forgotten. Shameful and tasteless.
Drudge Report with another phony headline trying to link Obama with something bad. Only, in this case, it isn’t even close to the suggested headline. How is that joke racist? You could use completely different ethnic groups and it still works. This is like a joke the comedians tell on that awesome website “Old Jews Telling Jokes”. Unreal the lengths these extremists go to in order to attack Obama.
Bad enough that he tells an anti-Semitic joke, but what’s up with telling a joke that casts the TALIBAN as the beleaguered but essentially good guys?!!!
This is in the same league as Obama speaking in (covert) alliance w/Ahmidinejad when televised making remarks to him while wearing Ahmidinejad type shirt and jacket w/no necktie. The message was sent, loud and clear, to Islamists the world over: “Don’t you worry guys, we’re on your side.”
It’s disgraceful.
badjrsgord: Hey, get a clue! (Like most Drudge readers, you comment without knowing jack-sh#t.) James Jones is from the military. He’s not a Democrat. He serves at the pleasure of the president. In fact, he was a general under the Bush administration and is known for NOT having any strong ideological leanings.
Trotsky was laughing at the jew jokes to until he found out Stalin had a jew joke for him…that ended with an ice pick in his head.
The jews laugh, laugh, laugh, and support the leftists – all the way to the gas chambers.
George Soros is one…. he helped Hitler with his Jew problem…and he was only a teenager at the time.
But WILL he be going on the gay Israeli tour to visit the ‘hot men of the Mossad’?
I’m Jewish and a Republican. The joke was kind of inappropriate given the setting, but it was funny. The general also needs to work on his routine.
Even if the joke offended some people, it’s nothing compared to the anti-semitism found in this comments section. All of the net-nazis have come out of the woodwork to post comments, most of them laced with conspiracy theory nonsense.
Are people on Drudge and Breitnuts really as crazy as folks like “John Gault” and as stupid as “badjrsgord” who thinks James Jones is a democrat. He’s serves at the president’s pleasure, and was a 4-star general under Bush Jr. He’s been know for not having any serious political reasons, which is why he has become NSA. Idiots only on hack site like this.
Regardless of anyone’s and everyone’s opinion here, there is clearly a double standard at work in this administration.
Somehow I doubt that Barry will be having a beer w/ Biden & Netanyahu in order to ice this one over….
This pres was supposedly the self proclaimed “post-racial uniter”?!?!!? We were all duped, not only on this, but on several other fronts.
Now I’m even more curious to hear what dirt the L.A. Times had on Barry when he spoke before this same crowd of dirtbags pre-election.
He probably heard this one from Biden.
Ah, so now Jewish-Americans can begin to appreciate how Christians have been treated for years! Indeed, Jewish comics and Hollywood types have been in the forefront of bashing and humiliating Jesus and those of us who sincerely follow him. How do YOU folks like it now that the shoe is on your foot?
1. As a Jew I have heard this joke, and can even chuckle at the cleverness, but the Jews who think this is OK, because Jews have used this joke too, are totally missing the point. What is lacking here is SELF-DEPRECATION, meaning you can tell a slightly hurtful joke against yourself and it is not offensive, but when told against someone else, its nature changes and it becomes an attack.
And, as a person who has vowed to speak up and against anti-Semitic jokes, even when I “should” stay quiet so not to harm business or unease friends, this joke falls on the “offensive” side of the fence. Its use by a prominent official at a public speech is not only insensitive and rude, it calls into question the intelligence and judgement of Jones, or, should I say, it confirms the lack thereof. The use of this joke by Jones is totally inappropriate, even if it does not meet a narrow definition of “anti-semitic” since, jews, too, tell this joke.
2. Jokes like this help provide a type of cover for the grossly anti-semitic insults placed in comments here – ranging from obvious hatred to “Concern” trolls. There really are some haters (stormfront comment campaign) on the internet when the see anything with their “key” words in the story: they have come up with some pretty clever “blame the Jews” ploys that THEY think makes them sound reasonable. Scratch the surface even a little and the hate is exposed.
3. All the chatter, insight, offense and rationalizations missed the REAL hidden message;
the joke, as told specifically by Jones, includes a DUAL LOYALTY SLUR.
Where? The talibum insulted Israel, right. In the Jew’s forgiveness of the talibum’s insults, the Jew forgives him for insulting “his country”. WHAT? Even though the Jews in the joke live in Afghanistan, Jones has them forgiving the talibum for insulting Israel. This slip reveals that, in Jones secret place, Jews everywhere, even in the US, see Israel as ‘their country’. Jones believes the dual loyalty slur. Sad.
You cons need to lighten up and come up with a position on financial reform when you start a party.
I take no offense in this joke. Clearly the Taliban are hotheads, and the Jewish merchants hold the cards. Also clearly this is a schematic for the Mid-East. It is a pity the Iranians cannot govern their own country for the benefit of their own people. They have the resources to be wealthy, not like the Saudis, but like the Ukranians, Pakistani, Georgians, Russians. Instead they insist to be like the NorKs and burn their cash in Uranium. I hope their reactors melt.
Sorry, it’s not offensive you Satan worshipers. Get over yourselves.
I thought it was pretty funny. In light of recent events in Arizona, I figured I would add to the fun.

It’s absolutely no secret that the Obama administration is both anti-Jewish and anti-Israel, especially considering Obama’s affiliation with Rev. Wright.
When will people learn that with this type of joke the non-Jewish folks in the room are not laughing with you, they are laughing AT you.
oh, right, they’re laughing at the talibum, right…
What do you call people asking for your papers?
Nazis.
That should upset the Jews.
1.) It wasn’t offensive… or funny.
2.) The anti-semitism I HAVE heard from government officials has all been from democrats.
3.) If a republican had told the exact same joke, it would be all over CNNMSNBCABCNBCCBS.
4.) Both parties suck out loud, so who cares anyway?
Pretty funny joke, nothing to get into a snit about.
There’s plenty of real stuff to bash this joke of an administration with.
Folks on both sides need to lighten up.
I personally thought the joke was quite funny, BUT what signals does it send when the national security advisor is telling a joke about Jewish merchants? The joke would have been just as funny without noting the merchant was Jewish. The purpose of describing the merchant as Jewish was undoubtably to play into the stereotype that they are greedy.
What if he told the joke “What does the word BENGALS mean? Bet Every Ni**er Got Arrested Last Season.” That jokes humor comes from the association that being black equals illegal behavior, and eventually arrest. While being funny, in my opinion, it would be very inappropriate to tell that joke at a NAACP convention. I think most would agree. The issue, as far as I am concerned, is not the joke specifically, but where the joke was told. Show some maturity and tact people of such an “intellectual” and “sophisticated” administration.

love that guy with the Talmud quotes.
I just have to wonder , can you even speak Hebrew and even if you could have you brushed up your ancient Aramaic as well? Since your such a scholar of repute , what about Rashi or Tosfos or the Rif and Ran as well. Do you have any idea what i am even talking about?
Love these folks , who are so ignorant that they couldn’t even read their own bible in Latin,let alone someone less scriptures in the original either.ignorance is bliss i guess.
If you ask the net-nazis to produce their source for Talmud quotes, they will either ignore your requests or give you the hate site they got them from. They’re usually taken out of context or edited.
Greedy merchants??? Never. Most of the guys at Golden Sachs who pushed financial
instruments to clients while, at the same time, bet that the value of those
instruments would move down were WASP gentiles, right?
that was actually funny.
Now, if he would just follow up with a couple of good rag head, mexican, and black jokes….
i’d say he’s the man!
Pretty funny joke!
Ahahahaha that was a funny joke.
Here is the un-pc version of the joke: you see there was this Taliban guy, Barack, and he wanted water from a Jewish merchant named Rham, who sent him to his brother David A, who wouldn’t let him in for lack of a tie.
Now that funny.
I agree totally with “djl” (below). As another commenter said, how about some faggot or pickaninny jokes to go with it? What’s wrong with these people?
Gen. Jones (retd.) is part of the Christian mafia which has taken over today’s Armed forces. In a time demanding cultural sensitivity, we are not getting it. This is a little-publicized cabal, but some of the more egregious Christopaths have been quietly cut loose. Why the room erupted in laughter is not really a conundrum, if you scratch the veneer of America (of either liberal or conservative ilk.)
Bigotry looms large in the 21st century.

So, this assh^le receives a paycheck and will get a pension from me and the rest of the American taxpayers? Here is what I want:
A list of every person in that room that was there that laughed and did not walk out as they are complicit here also!
I want this President and his bigot regime kicked to the curb by the taxpayers of this nation sooner than you can say impeached and this f’in punk waterboarded!
Actually he deserves worse!
I’m a US Citizen and a Christian next and this bastard needs a 5×5 cell to think for 6 months!”
How was this offensive? The only thing offensive is that the Palestinians are being slaughtered and everyone is too cowardly to say anything.
One day we will all be Palestinians, it is happening, keep your eye on Goldman Sachs.
Liberty lake=Seminar Poster

HAHAHAHAHA It’s funny because it’s TRUE!!!! What’s also pretty funny is all the jewish outrage… BooHoo, the truth hurts. At least he didn’t tell the joke about the jews killing all those kids for throwing rocks. Probably won’t have got as many laughs, but still would have been true.
So Obama walks up to the mound, and the pitch bounces to the plate. The crowd laughs and, excuse me, someone’s at the do–^(W*EYUioOHRIOWEHORH!aaqaaaaa!
Wait, I got one… You want to see funny??? Google
“5 dancing Israelis”
and read up on it for a few minutes…
Hello everybody. I’m not the biggest fan of Obama, and I actually tend to lean slightly towards conservatism (not neo-conservatism, mind you). However, why should Obama cow-tow to the Jews? He is the President of the United States, not the servant of the Jews. Mind you, I’m not a fan of his politics, and it’s questionable if he is even a legal citizen, but the Jews deserve no special treatment just like Whites (even though it was White gentile Christians that founded this country), Blacks (even though Blacks were brought here unwillingly, even if they were sold by their own they were treated like crap for quite some time in THIS country, not in a different country, and BTW there is scientific proof that shows that some of the claims are quite ridiculous), Asians (despite Asian women being gorgeous), etc. don’t deserve special treatment, that is if we are all constituents of this country.
Isn’t it extremely pompous and downright RACIST to call your group the chosen people and expect the world to serve you hand-and-foot? Saying this almost makes it sound like God justifies racism, and if God justifies racism, then I think that David Duke (the big bad evil racist that believes that all people have a right to their own existence), Farrakhan, and maybe even Jesse and Al are some of the holiest men of the Lord.
I’m no neo-con, so I don’t support or care about Israel (nor do I wish for its eradication). I care about America and Americans. What has Israel done for us lately, besides the USS Liberty (well, maybe 9/11, credit where it’s due)?
I will say that the joke is funny, and some stereotypes, for better or worse, hold some truth to them.
I can’t believe the hyprocisy of some of the idiots who are commenting. No doubt if someone in the Bush administration had told this joke, you would be calling for his ouster and trial as a criminal. I can’t believe the morons who are dismissing this as a funny joke (even if it weren’t anti-semitic, it still is a stupid joke). I can’t believe the nutcases who are attributing all the world’s ills to the Jewish people. Talk about a racist, bigoted, narrow minded bunch of people. I’m not half as offended by the really ignorant joke this idiotic Obama minion made as I am by the anti-Jewish rhetoric it’s inspired among some of the people who are commenting.
Ah…here come the conspiracy nuts. Can you tell me how Bigfoot was actually a Zionist and planned the Great Depression from his remote mountain cave?
Sorry guys, I just thought it was funny.
If one of “our guys” had told this, Im pretty sure we’d just laugh and move along..

I’m with you buddy,
Those Israelis killing unarmed HUMANS using white phosphorous, bombing hospitals/schools/ambulances… The nerve of those DOGS giving good jews around the world a bad name… I really hope they all rot in hell for what they are doing to those humans and to the good names of good people all over the world. Why I saw the video of the kid being shot to death from about 30meters away with the rock still in he hand… I threw up for about 10mins strait.
Did you vomit for 10 minutes straight when you saw the reports of 250,000 Sudanese Christians and animists being killed by Muslims?
Did you vomit for 10 minutes straight when you saw the hotel massacre in India a few years ago, also done by Muslims?
Do you vomit each and every time there’s a mass casualty suicide bombing somewhere in Pakistan or Iraq?
Did you vomit for 10 minutes straight when Hamas executed Fatah party members?
That was indeed a funny joke! If I were a Jew I wouldn’t find that offensive at all. I could picture Jack Benny telling that one, or Uncle Milty, or Sid Ceasare, or any a rabbi at a bar mitzvah. The world today is just too sensitive and too much anxiety about being ‘politically correct.’ It was a funny joke, already! I laughed good at that one! So should you!
The world needs more harmless jokes, for cripe sakes. What about when Father Guido Sarducci told the joke about the ‘bill for the Last Supper.’?
As a Catholic I laughed out loud at that one…I wasn’t offended because there was no malice in it as there was no malice in this. He should not have apologised at all, to anyone. Good going General!
Nope, I actually have a pretty strong stomach for most stuff. Brutally murdering a 8-10yr old kid for getting ready to throw a rock was just too much to handle, and I’m sure I’ll have nightmares for as long as I live. You can’t wash that kind of filth off once you’ve been exposed to it…
Of course you’re not sickened by the other incidents going on around the world…you’re only focused on what Jews do.
Goliath
No, I’m focused on that because Israel is suppose to be “like” us.. That is the pretty little picture they paint over here in the USA, but that’s not the reality. I don’t have to convince anyone of anything. You guys are doing a great job all by yourself. You may control they media, and I bet that’s nice. Fact is, the world is seeing the truth now via the internet and it is sickening. Before Israel started the holocaust on the Gaza Strip I was all for them, and even planned to vacation there with my family. I’m glad I know the truth now.(Thanks Al Gore for inventing the internet. lol)
Read “The Cross of Bethlehem” you can pick it up at amazon.com. If you want to know the true Israel from an Israeli soldier then spend the $20 and read it… Highly Recommended
This is so good it’s worth repeating. I’m still LMAO! I don’t know if this is the posters original material and while I’d like to think it is, I just don’t know. Suffice it to say this is hilarious. Real honest to goodness humor and only a total idiot could find fault with it. See below:
Babyfacemagee April 26th, 2010 – 2:26 am
People, relax! I’m Jewish and yeah…ok..so it’s using Jewish stereotypes. Big deal. At least it’s making a joke out of the talent that some Jews have for business. Does this mean every jew is great at business? Ha. I wish! I know some Jews that couldn’t sell a Snickers bar to Rosie O’Donnell. I think people need to lighten up. I’ve seen Jackie Mason tell far worse Jewish jokes than this. People make ‘wasp’ jokes about white guys not being able to dance or jokes about asians not being able to drive. I mean…who cares? It’s all part of the color of life. As long as you don’t take any of it too seriously…and know that any individual is usually different than most stereotypes. Is every black guy a basketball player? I know black guys that are 5′1” and can’t shoot a basketball into an empty swimming pool in front of them.
The only sad thing is that these days if you make a joke about a Muslim you get death threats and have to worry about being decapitated in your sleep.
But hey, I can empathize. I mean if wrapping a towel around my head or putting a potato sack over my wife was the greatest contribution my religion ever made to the world, I’d be pretty pissed too!
The quotes below can be found in the Soncino edition of the Talmud which is considered authoritative by many and available online. Look it up. The so called Jews among you who call them anti semitic should explain yourselves with regard the context in which they should be interpreted because when they are put together with the Protocols(you know the ones…) and the situation with Israel, and central banking, etc. they look pretty bad. You might also wish to explain your inapropriate use of the word semitic. I’ve not met many Jews who even look remotely semitic. Eastern Europeans with no business being in the middle east. That much is obvious.
Sanhedrin 57a . A Jew need not pay a gentile the wages owed him for work.
Baba Mezia 24a . If a Jew finds an object lost by a gentile (“heathen”) it does not have to be returned.
Sanhedrin 57a . When a Jew murders a gentile, there will be no death penalty. What a Jew steals from a gentile he may keep.
Baba Kamma 37b. The gentiles are outside the protection of the law and God has “exposed their money to Israel.”
Ah…the old Anti-Semitic canard that the Jews control the media.
You never planned a vacation to Israel. But I highly recommend you go to Gaza. It’s a dump and has always been a dump, even when Egypt controlled it.
The Cross of Bethlehem is some wacky book by a conspiracy theorist. I’ll stick to people who aren’t on the run from imaginary spy agencies.
The last time I checked, the U.S. was involved in two ongoing wars, in Afghanistan and Iraq. Do you want to guess at the civilian casualties in both those wars? I don’t think the Israeli-Palestinian conflict compares numbers wise.
David; You forgot to mention about how we Jews drink the blood of Gentilr children for Passover; also, how we control the world through our Elders in the secret society as dictated by our manual, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion; and you know, how 911 was done by the Mossad.
Here’s an inside tip for you- General Jones is a crypto- Jew. Yes and so is Obama.
It must be frightening to be a dyed in the wool neo-nazi, eh David?
This is, as the Russians would say, a joke with a beard. I heard it decades ago, and the butt of the joke was an Arab terrorist. There is nothing inherently anti-Semitic about the joke. It is just a way for Jews to get back at their enemies. However, when told in the context that Jones did, and by prefacing it with a statement that it is a true story, the joke does seem to take on anti-Jewish overtones.
I love it when someone states a known fact, then is labeled “Anti-Kid Killers”(Did I say that right?)
So now because Gaza is a “dump” everything is okay. You guys are so great to go in there and clean up all the dead bodies so you can build illegal settlements that the whole world disapproves of.
Yes, We are in two wars, and I don’t agree with either. Why are we in those wars??? Look up 5 dancing Israelis… It’s a really nice springboard into the rest of the evidence of Israeli involvement in 9/11.
PLEASE justify what Israel did to the USS Liberty and all the sailors on board… Two solid hours of “mistaken identity in broad daylight and clear weather with a 7′x13′ brand new American flag flying the whole time. Justify the torpedo boats attacking them and killing sailors who were escaping the burning ship in life rafts.(which BTW is a major war crime)
As I suspected, you’re just an anti-semitic conspiracy nut. There are no illegal settlements in Gaza, so I don’t know what you’re talking about. Israel left Gaza a few years ago. Did you mean the West Bank?
Ya, Maybe you should do more reading and less assuming… I said: “go in there and clean up all the dead bodies so you can build illegal settlements that the whole world disapproves of.”
As in you haven’t yet, but anyone who’s not a complete moron knows that’s the whole reason for the “New” holocaust is to steal that land back. I mean, why the blockade? Simple as that…
I’m still waiting on that USS LIBERTY explanation… What happened there?
USS LIBERTY…
Let’s talk about that subject for a little while.. You start.
Don’t send spy ships into the middle of a war zone? Regardless, Israel apologized AND compensated for the incident.
WOW, The silence is deafening!!!
The joke appears to have originated with Jewish “Borscht Belt” comedian Jan Murray in 1978.
The big question is, why is our National Security Advisor telling old Borscht Belt jokes on the record?
So if the US were to “accidentally” attack and Israeli ship for TWO HOURS!!!! Not to mention the blatant war crime of machine gunning sailors who were trying to escape after being bombed, strafed, napalmed, and torpedoed. We could just apologize and pay a few million and the Israeli people would be fine with that???
Maybe you are missing the point… It’s not a very fine point, as a matter of fact you would have to be blind to miss the point to anyone bringing up the attack on the USS Liberty… If Israel did it then, how could you ever expect TRUST from the citizens of the USA..? EVER.. This attack is just now hitting the general population of American citizens.(Thanks again Al G. LOL) There first reaction is to flat out deny that could/would ever happen. Then, when they see the evidence it’s hard to swallow at first that Israel could do something that EVIL; but the proof is right here on the net for anyone to look up for themselves… No conspiracy theory’s about it… It’s all in Black and White…
Some how the apology and the compensation seem a little slim… How much has the US “given” to Israel over decades… Israel gave us a little of our own money back as compensation. That’s very kind…(rolls eyes)
The Liberty attack occurred before there were large amounts of aid sent to Israel by the U.S., so you’re wrong yet again.
Any time you send a neutral ship into waters where belligerents are fighting, there’s a chance for bad things to happen. I’m sure you realize the Liberty was an intelligence ship and wasn’t just sitting there on a pleasure cruise. As we’ve seen at various stages of the war in Afghanistan, it’s not easy to distinguish friend from foe in a war zone. The U.S. has accidentally attacked troops of other countries. Of course there were official apologies. Canada did not attack New York state because of a friendly fire incident in Afghanistan.
Let’s keep this going… I’m sure at least 20 people have already googled the phases “5 dancing Israelis” and “USS Liberty”
The longer we go at this the more people will be exposed to the truth!!!
You know it, and I’d like to personally take this opportunity to thank you for helping get the word out.
Your comment.
“Don’t send spy ships into the middle of a war zone?”(Because??? What.? That would then make it okay to attack an ally and commit war crimes.)
Sums it up great, and you can bet I will be quoting your comment in the future to help the average US citizen see HOW you think.. Cold Blooded… I’m glad to hear you justify that brutal act of war so truthfully. Honestly is the best policy.
the 9/11 conspiracy theories have been out there since 2001. 99% of the world thinks they’re pretty crazy, especially since the burden of proof revolves around janitors who worked in the building, other conspiracy nuts and Charlie Sheen. A ruse of that magnitude would have had to involve thousands of people, yet no one has come forth. Odd, isn’t it. Someone would have to have a conscience, right?
If you walked into a room where rival motorcycle gangs were fighting would you expect to leave without harm?
20 people have googled “5 dancing Israelis.” 15 of them immediately closed the conspiracy site (rense.com) because it’s full of anti-semitic garbage, as well as bigfoot sightings. 3 looked at the story and then immediately noticed it had links to David Duke’s website and closed it out. 1 got bored with the Loch Ness monster and went back to surfing porn. The 1 remaining guy liked the site and sent $5 to Jeff Rense to keep up the good work.
Using the phase “friendly fire” is an insult to all the sailors who died that day.
“I’m sure you realize the Liberty was an intelligence ship and wasn’t just sitting there on a pleasure cruise.”
That’s right, and Israel being an ally knew and effectively jammed all the radio channels blocking all attempts to call for help. PROVING that they knew 100% for sure that they were attacking an American Ship.
Further proof:
Immediately preceding the attack, an Israeli pilot recognized Liberty as a U.S. ship and radioed this information to IDF headquarters. He was instructed to attack anyway. This dialogue was intercepted at the U.S. embassy in Beirut. Former U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dwight Porter revealed the existence of this intercept in 1991.
You only bring up the Liberty because the incident involved Jews. If it had been Egypt who attacked it, you would have probably still blamed Israel. Jews, Jews, Jews, Jews, Jews, Jews, Jews. You see one behind every corner and in every shadow. Conspiracy nuts are obsessed with Jews.
I just googled “5 dancing israelis” looking for the rense you’re speaking of… I couldn’t find any mention of a rense on the first 5 pages of googles search results… Check for yourself and please stop making stuff up. You’re making yourself look foolish.
Listen to all you blubbering idiots. You have no idea that this is all staged. There is not one item that gets out to the people that is not set up to keep this grand illusion rolling. You people and you paid mossad jerks are quite embarrassing. Holy crap what a bunch of fools!
Let me see, Donald Rumsfeld announces that 2 trillion is missing from the Pentagon on 9th of September 2010 (bit of a non-news item before 9/11) and the man running the finacial show over at the Pentagon?
Rabbi Dov Zakheim.
Shall I move on to the Trillions looted out of the Federal Reserve, Wall Street, two more wars in the middle east, trade deals with Japan and China by our zionist govenment by a list of names that read from a Tel Aviv phone book.
Why would anyone thing that jews only think about money??
Nope, I bring it up for it’s ability to shine a VERY bright light on how much we the people of the USA can trust Israel.
The USS LIBERTY VETERANS ASSOCIATION is offering $10,000.00 to anyone who can disprove that our story is the truth. as of this moment, no one from the pro-Israeli crowd has accepted the challenge.
My Husband and I are both Jews, and we thought the joke was hilarious and not the slightest bit antisemitic. We don’t need the likes of Breitbart and his right wing cohorts “defending” us as a way to attack the Obama administration. Go use somebody else to spew your bile.
This reminds me of an even funnier Joke …the one about the President who made several Millions of Dollars last year and his Brother still lives in a Hut, oh and the illegal Aunt who was ordered deported years ago and is still here….now that’s a funny joke!
so obamatards get a pass? really, though, this is the first coherent statement from an obamatard, to date.
This reminds me of a joke about a white cop in MA that arrested a black guy for good cause, Then the President of the USA made a comment that the cop was stupid without knowing anything about the situation. HMMMM..
Wait a minute …. wheres the punch line….
Oh Yeah, then he spent my tax dollars having a beer at the white house with the guy.
It was funny. What’s the big deal? If some people have a thin skin, they can get over it.
Terry sounds like a complete idiot who has listened to too many radical Muslims and skinheads.Terry has little if any factual comments. The stirrer ealier made statement as did a few others that show themselves to be anti-semetic at best and haters of god at the worst. General Jones sounds like General Brown of the 70s when the imbecile Carter appointed him as the CJCS. He told a group of lawyers-to -be at Duke that Jews had too much power in the US. Why is it that Democrats appoint nit-wits and it’s OK for them to make comments that are hurtful, spitefuland wrong.If a Conservative said this the Leftist media would be all over them. Jews wake up-the Democrats are not our friends. They seem to really like the Muslims and other idiots-look at the current appointees and czars. Now Nobama is hosting an entrepaneurship conference for MUSLIMS!!!! Not Christians nor Jews nor Buddhists nor Hindus or anyone else–MUSLIMS.
Boy oh Boy, That National Security Advisor of President Obama’s sure can tell a mean racist joke! Gahulk, gaharr..?
I’ll bet he’s got a million of em…
If dislike for Israel is anti-whatever, then yes I am that. Wow that didn’t sting at all. So what if people are “anti-semite”? You idiots aren’t even real semites anyway. The jews did not get their asses run out of over a hundred places just for being misunderstood. Hmmm, maybe the world has got them wrong. Yeah, right!
I love all the planted comments here. “I am Jewish, and eye think it’s funny.” bulldada.
David, you are a skunk, a skank, and a skritch. I am a real Jew. I would punch your lights out if we met.
I am certain that you never ever HAD to fight to survive. I have, and you get better and better at it.
Now go eat some more sugar, you spineless wimp. Oh, am I calling names? tough titty. You live in America, not in
the real world, and have been infected with that fantasy crap about how the world SHOULD BE. Well, it isn’t.
This was a funny joke. You “perpetual victims” need to lighten up.
This joke does make me think of Shakespeare’s Shylock…now, whether or not one perceives the telling of this joke as anti-semitic depends on 1 – who is doing the telling, and 2 – in what context, imo…
Just because there is a humorous punchline that makes us laugh does not mean that the joke is being told “innocently” or with right intent…in fact, I would beg to differ…people who operate at that level think very, very carefully about everything that they say, about every word…
For me, this joke seems inappropriate, lends toward anti-semitism being told by a non-Jewish person who is a public national security official in this particular context, which concerns stating the position of an administration that really does not seem very concerned about addressing issues which concern Jewish people…
In this particular context, I view this joke as psychologically belittling, demeaning of Jewish people in a very subversive way (Jewish people are being made to seem as if they are taking advantage of the “poor Muslim people”)…and therefore lending towards anti-semitism…and he gets away with putting this idea across by making his audience laugh, which makes the idea more “acceptable” to them without them realizing it…
I believe that all people operating at this level of government think very carefully about what they say…and this joke is no different…it pretty much represents the position of the Obama Administration. Some of these high level security, intelligence people on the right seem to be using subliminals, imo (just as Obama uses the Alinsky method!)…They all seem very well-educated about psychology, about trying to convince people to believe what they believe in subversive ways…very “Big Brotherish”, which is pretty much how I feel about the Obama Administration, anyway…
I laughed at the punchline, but I think its anti-semitic given the teller, the context….
Talk aroung me! I’m a living-room elephant, as unreal as your fairy godmother. But do stand near a wall just in case the floor happens to buckle and fall through. That could happen for any reason except one!
funny innocent joke.
lighten up!
corrected website link.
you’all need to grow up fast.
My DC take on this tempest…Israeli lobby campaign against Obama admin for giving Netanyahu the cold shoulder treatment. This is just the beginning unless he heels. I expect him to fold soon. Any bets?
Everybody can’t be so sensitive. I saw it and thought it was a funny, innocent joke. Jews tell these jokes all the time about themselves. It sounds like one my rabbi would say at temple services
Who cares!
Goes to show that the USA is a puppet of Israel. Go fight some more wars for them, suckers!
The joke is funny! I don’t understand why it was relevant to such a serious topic. I am Jewish and I do think that our President is not a lover of Israel-nor of the Jews, but it’s not this joke that proves it. Some of the anti-Semitic comments are scarier than the joke. Are these my fellow Americans? This hateful bunch of ignorant, bigoted maniacs? I probably should be more afraid of them than of the extremist Muslims…
Anyone that’s upset by this, it was a harmless joke you sensitive wimps. Oh so now we have to omit telling jokes about jewish people because they’re somehow immune from satire? There’s been paddy jokes, mexican, German, English jokes and jokes about every nationality over the years so get over it fools!
“So, this assh^le receives a paycheck and will get a pension from me and the rest of the American taxpayers? Here is what I want:
A list of every person in that room that was there that laughed and did not walk out as they are complicit here also!
I want this President and his bigot regime kicked to the curb by the taxpayers of this nation sooner than you can say impeached and this f’in punk waterboarded!
Actually he deserves worse!
I’m a US Citizen and a Christian next and this bastard needs a 5×5 cell to think for 6 months!”

I think you need serious help you angry, over reactive, hyper-sensitive gob-shite! Go out and get some fresh air!
Was that really a Joke?Sounds like hard Truth to me!
His delivery sucks, but the joke killed. Pretty funny stuff right there. I’ll forgive his delivery because he is not a comedian. For those of you who are offended get in line behind Rev AL You pukes!!
Libertarian; Joke YOU if you can’t take a Fuch. That Joke not only KILLED, it perpetuated the stereotype that Jews are inherently Evil to the point of mocking those in need. Certainly the same can be said of ANY group, but it wasn’t! The REAL point here is that this is the National Security Advisor to an Administration who claims to transcend racial and ethnic barriers when in reality it;s do as I say, Not as I do! These are sick, twisted people From Nancy to Harry to the Czarina of Obamaland! WHo cares if the Joke was funny to you opr not. He shouldn’t have been making racial jokes in the first place, You Puke!
I think that no matter what this Administration does to damage relations between Israel and the United States, the majority of People here in the U.S. will always have love, support and admiration for the People and for the Nation of Israel!
Question from the gathering: Rabbi Rabinovich, what about the various religions after the Third World War?
Rabinovich: THERE WILL BE NO MORE RELIGIONS.
Not only would the existence of a priest class remain a constant danger to our rule, but belief in an after-life would give spiritual strength to irreconcilable elements in many countries, and enable them to resist us.
We will, however, retain the rituals and customs of Judaism as the mark of our hereditary ruling caste, strengthening our racial laws so that no Jew will be allowed to marry outside our race, nor will any stranger be accepted by us.
(Note: Protocol of Zion No. 17 para. 2, states: ‘Now that freedom of conscience has been declared everywhere (as a result of their efforts they have previously stated) only years divide us from the moment of the complete wrecking of that [Hated] Christian Religion. As to other religions, we shall have still less difficulty with them.’)
We may have to repeat the grim days of World War II, when we were forced to let the Hitlerite bandits sacrifice some of our people, in order that we may have adequate documentation and witnesses to legally justify our trial and execution of the leaders of America and Russia as war criminals, after we have dictated the peace.
I am sure you will need little preparation for such a duty, for sacrifice has always been the watchword of our people, and the death of a few thousand lesser Jews in exchange for world leadership is indeed a small price to pay.
To convince you of the certainty of that leadership, let me point out to you how we have turned all of the inventions of the White Man into weapons against him. His printing presses and Radios are the mouthpieces of our desires, and his heavy industry manufactures the instruments which he sends out to arm Asia and Africa against him.
Our interests in Washington are greatly extending the Point Four Program (viz. Colombo Plan) for developing industry in backward areas of the world, so that after the industrial plants and cities of Europe and America are destroyed by atomic warfare, the Whites can offer no resistance against the large masses of the dark races, who will maintain an unchallenged technological superiority.
And so, with the vision of world victory before you, go back to your countries and intensify your good work, until that approaching day when Israeli will reveal herself in all her glorious destiny as the Light of the World.” (Note: Every statement made by Rabinovich is based on agenda contained in the “Protocols of Zion.”)
The Jewish Encyclopedia:
“Khazars, a non-Semitic, Asiatic, Mongolian tribal nation who emigrated into Eastern Europe about the first century, who were converted as an entire nation to Judaism in the seventh century by the expanding Russian nation which absorbed the entire Khazar population, and who account for the presence in Eastern Europe of the great numbers of Yiddish-speaking Jews in Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Galatia, Besserabia and Rumania.
Encyclopedia Britannica (15th edition):
“Khazars, confederation of Turkic and Iranian tribes that established a major commercial empire in the second half of the 6th century, covering the southeastern section of modern European Russia… In the middle of the 8th century the ruling classes adopted Judaism as their religion.
The Encyclopedia Judaica, Vol. 10, (1971) relates the following about the Khazars (Chazars):
“Khazars, a national group of general Turkic type, independent and sovereign in Eastern Europe between the seventh and tenth centuries A.D. During part of this time the leading Khazars professed Judaism.”
Academic American Encyclopedia, Deluxe Library Edition, Volume 12, page 66 states:
“The Khazars, a Turkic people, created a commercial and political empire that dominated substantial parts of South Russia during much of the 7th through 10th centuries. during the 8th century the Khazar aristocracy and the Kagan (King) were converted to Judaism.
Collier’ s Encyclopedia, Volume 14, page 65 states:
“Khazars [kaza’rz], a semi-nomadic tribe of Turkish or Tatar origin who first appeared north of the Caucasus in the early part of the third century…in the Eighth Century Khaghan Bulan decided in favor of the Jews and accepted Judaism for himself and for his people.
The Cadillac Modern Encyclopedia, page 822, states:
“Khazars (khah’-zahrz), a S Russian people of Turkic origin, who at the height of their power (during the 8th-10th cent., A.D.) controlled an empire which included Crimea, and extended along the lower Volga, as far E as the Caspian Sea. The Khazar Royal Family and aristocracy converted to Judaism during the reign of King Bulan (768-809 A.D.) and Judaism was thereafter regarded as the State Religion.

BIBLE (REVELATION 2:9,3:9).
it is almost certain that the general heard this joke from one of his jewish colleagues at the pentagon. the whole place is controlled by them anyway: feith, pearl, wolfowitz, cohen, etc etc ad nauseum.
jews enjoy telling jewish jokes just like blacks like to tell nigger jokes. its only when an outsider says it that it becomes unacceptable.
More PC version:

And this is the guy who advises the President on matters of security?
And this the guy who helps the President put together a peace plan for the Middle East?
One more blow to Obama’s credibility.
Not only is the “joke” stupid and racist but it reflkect very poorly on his ability.

The proof that this “joke” is anti-Semitic is all the bigots who are on here defending it – especially the ones pretending to be Jewish & saying that “it’s OK, and no Jew would actually be offended”; you’re fooling no one but yourselves, and you are even less honest than the liars who are pretending that it “tlod the truth.”
Very funny though I’m quite sure he wouldn’t dare to tell a joke about muslim people,black people,hispanic people,homosexuals etc.,in that case he would be fired immediately after.
This was not an off the cuff joke..it was not a bad decision…but an intentional, planned point. One little tiny step added to many on the wrong path…read your history..read a book published in 1941..Out of the Night by Jan Valtin. He was a committed communist, very much involved in the terrorist activities around the world..which landed him in a Nazi prison for a time. Now the lines are blurred as to the politically goups but they are very much alive and more capable with new technology. We laughed when I was a child as to the story of some crazy Communist leader taking his shoe off and hitting the table and yelling “We will take you from within.” And little, international, charsimatic children of questionable birth would make wonderful leaders to bridge gaps to people in the countries that have been sold on Peace, Love and Tolerance…used to give the power to a few with no intention but domination..It’s time we quit thinking we are untouchable and safe.
It’s really “wonderful” to think that he’s advising the world’s most powerful leader. If he’ll say this in public, it makes you wonder what he says in private (about nationalities other than his – of course) when the cameras are off.
that was the funniest joke i have heard all year, hopefully he has many, many more, just like it.
i just love them old “JEW” jokes, they are so funny.
wonder why there are any jews that continue to support punk obama – guess pt barnum nailed the American jews and the maroons borne every minute
