Obama’s National Security Advisor Tells Joke Depicting Jews as Greedy Merchants

Yid With Lid: He was giving the key note speech at a Washington Institute For Near East Policy and started it out with a "joke" that borders on anti-Semitic, teaching the crowd that Jews are just greedy merchants in the same vein as Shakespeare's Shylock...

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?

Terry   April 25th, 2010 - 11:47 pm

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!”

Terry got a government job? Somehow I never pictured him in a suit.

coulda been just as funny if he left out the Jewish reference, IMO   April 25th, 2010 - 11:58 pm

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?

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.

hmmm   April 26th, 2010 - 12:00 am

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.

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.

Snailmailtrucker   April 26th, 2010 - 12:21 am

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!

John Campbell   April 26th, 2010 - 12:33 am

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.

Dwightwannabe   April 26th, 2010 - 12:37 am

That joke is ancient.

How many more billions in

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.”

dan murphy   April 26th, 2010 - 12:57 am

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.

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.

Off Duty   April 26th, 2010 - 1:44 am

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….

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!

Malcolm Y   April 26th, 2010 - 2:31 am

Why tell the joke?

What does he have to gain by telling that joke?

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.

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.

shakes   April 26th, 2010 - 3:37 am

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.

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.

jeanneb   April 26th, 2010 - 5:01 am

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).

an overview from wnd   April 26th, 2010 - 7:01 am

[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.”

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.

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…

fastfacts   April 26th, 2010 - 8:54 am

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

Nancy   April 26th, 2010 - 9:13 am

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…”

Buhlz_I   April 26th, 2010 - 9:13 am

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.

SmartreThanLibs   April 26th, 2010 - 10:02 am

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.

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

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.

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?

Perry   April 26th, 2010 - 10:21 am

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.

Jim   April 26th, 2010 - 10:23 am

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!

T Jackson   April 26th, 2010 - 10:24 am

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.

brad   April 26th, 2010 - 10:25 am

Much ado about nothing. The right seems to becoming just as PC as the left has been.

Willie Loman   April 26th, 2010 - 10:25 am

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.

Paco   April 26th, 2010 - 10:26 am

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!!
