Ilhan Omar's anti-Semitism sparks condemnation

Anti-Semite and U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, (D-MN), sparked backlash Sunday night from top Republicans and Chelsea Clinton, and others after Omar accused a prominent lobbying group of paying members of Congress to support Israel, a country she would like to see annihilated and all the Jews therein, dead.

Omar, is the first anti-Semitic Somali-American Muslim woman elected to Congress. She responded to a post by journalist Glenn Greenwald criticizing House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, (R-CA), for threatening to take action against Omar and another freshman lawmaker, Rashida Tlaib, (D-MI), over anti-Semitic remarks.

"There’s situations in our conference where a member does something that is wrong — I think you’ve seen from my own actions that I take action about it," McCarthy told reporters Friday, making an apparent reference to Republican congressman Steve King of Iowa. "I think when they stay silent, they are just as guilty ... I think this will not be the end of this, and if they do not take action then I think you will see action from myself. It’s unacceptable in this country, especially when you sit back and think about and listen to what this country went through in World War II."

Greenwald accused McCarthy of targeting Omar and Tlaib for their numerous criticisms of Israel, to which Omar chimed in "It's all about the Benjamins, baby," quoting a 1997 rap song by Puff Daddy. [The lyrics to It's all about the Benjamins is simply lovely in a vulgar sort of disgusting way.]

She then doubled down when challenged by Batya Ungar-Sargon, the opinion editor of The Forward newspaper.

"Would love to know who @IlhanMN thinks is paying American politicians to be pro-Israel, though I think I can guess," Ungar-Sargon tweeted. "Bad form, Congresswoman. That's the second anti-Semitic trope you've tweeted."

In response, Omar tweeted "AIPAC!" referring to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which regularly has been accused by progressives of agitating for a conflict with Iran. AIPAC did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Fox News.

Omar's comments drew a strong response from across the political spectrum. The Republican Jewish Coalition called on House Speaker Nancy "Hands-A-Blazing" Pelosi, (D-CA) to take action and was asked rhetorically if House Democrats would "care to comment on the outrageous anti-Semitism being spewed by one of your fêted members?"

"[House Majority] Leader [Steny] Hoyer [D-MD] - you've led many AIPAC trips to Israel," RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks tweeted. "Will you speak out against this??"

Chelsea Clinton tweeted: "We should expect all elected officials, regardless of party, and all public figures to not traffic in anti-Semitism."

Fat chance that Democrats will speak out against the fresh, new faces of Congress. That would be like saying Alexandria Obviosa-Communista's Green New Deal is akin to the work of a special needs child.

Left-wing historian and Politico Magazine contributing editor Joshua Zeitz, even he tweeted: "I'm one of those American Jews who opposes the occupation [of the West Bank and Gaza Strip], laments Israel's anti-democratic drift, and doesn't regard the country as especially central to my Jewish identity. And I knew exactly what the congresswoman meant. She might as well call us hook-nosed."

By the way, Zeitz's Jewish identity has more to do with knishes than synagogues.

Sunday marked the latest in a long line of statements by Omar that critics have slammed as anti-Semitic. In 2012, she tweeted that "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine#Israel.” She did not apologize for posting the tweet until last month.

In January, Omar said in a Yahoo! News interview that Israel could not be considered a democracy and compared it to the Islamic theocracy in Iran, which is totally ridiculous and clearly anti-Semitic, because you cannot be anti-Zionist without being anti-Semitic, and everyone knows that. Israel is a democratically run country and Muslims, like Omar, would have more rights there than they would in any surrounding Muslim country.

"When I see Israel institute laws that recognize it as a Jewish state and does not recognize the other religions that are living in it, and we still uphold it as a democracy in the Middle East I almost chuckle because I know that if we see that any other society we would criticize it, call it out," she said. "We do that to Iran, we do that to any other place that sort of upholds its religion. And I see that now happening with Saudi Arabia and so I am aggravated, truly, in those contradictions."

This is just as ridiculous.

Israel not only recognizes other religions and protects their sacred mosques and churches, they have Muslims elected to their government. Can you say this about their neighbors? Not a single synagogue or even a Jew can live in an Islamic country without fearing for his or her life. And Christians don't have it much better.

Omar is merely following the precepts of Islam and Mohammed, and is religiously hating Jews for being Jewish.

And she is in the U.S. Congress!

'House Dems sort of rebuke use of word "motherf***er' Trump

House Democrats are not comfortable with going public with their vulgarity, preferring to keep it behind closed doors with the family, and when the newly sworn-in Rep. Rashida Tlaib said of the President of the United States of America that she would like to impeach the motherfuc*er, it looked and sounded bad for the cameras.

Her son was standing next to her when she said it, and it obviously didn't bother the little foul-mouth bast**d. In fact, the crowd standing around the disgusting b**ch woo-hooed and cheered.

"We're going to go in there, and we're going to impeach the motherf***er," the Michigan Democrat said at Thursday MoveOn rally in Washington, D.C.

When asked about Tlaib's use of profanity in an MSNBC town hall the following morning, House Speaker Nancy "Hyper Hands" Pelosi (D-CA) responded with a predictable"what-aboutism" remark, that it wasn't worse than anything Trump had said in the past. 

Yes, and when Trump said it, many of us on the right were appalled and we said so. Why aren't you condemning that s**t? I know--because you're scared of the new radical left.

"I'm not in the censorship business. I don't like that language, I wouldn't use that language, I don't establish language standards for my colleagues," she said with a frenetic hand display.

Pelosi, however, was more critical of the impeachment talk, saying that it consolidated the president's base and disclaiming, "That is not the position of the House Democratic Caucus." 

She knows what impeachment did for Bill Clinton and how it hurt conservatives.

"I do think that we want to be unified and bring people together. Impeachment is a very divisive approach to take and we shouldn’t take it … without the facts," she said, hands a-dancin' to homophobic host Joy Reid later in the interview, which is set to air Friday at 10 p.m. ET.

When asked by CNN's John Berman  what he thought about Tlaib's remarks, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said, "I don't like that language. More to the point, I disagree with what she said. It is too early to talk about that intelligently." [A Democrat talking about anything intelligently is an oxymoron.]

"We have to get the facts. We will see where the facts lead," he added. "Maybe that will lead to impeachment. Maybe it won't. It is much too early."

Most Democrats don't care about facts, they care about how they feel about Trump. And they tend to find a victim and then look for a crime, much like the Mueller probe.

In interviews with Politico, several of Tlaib's fellow Democrats were critical as well. "Mueller hasn’t even produced his report yet!" Wisconsin Rep. Ron Kind said. "People should cool their jets a little bit, let the prosecutors do their job and finish the investigation."

"Inappropriate," Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA) said. "As elected officials I think we should be expected to set a high bar… It’s not helpful."

Even clueless Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman (CA), who said he planned to reintroduce articles of impeachment against Trump this week in spite of no substantiating evidence, was critical, with Politico reporting his "eyes bulged in disbelief," and he was overcome with testicular twitching.

"That’s not language I would use … I think the office of the presidency should be treated with respect," he said.

Well here we are in the beginning of a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe.

Biden's thug rhetoric has to stop

Former Democratic Vice President and current clown Joe Biden intimated at a rally for Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) that the trade union president beat up Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND), saying "show him a threshold of pain."

Biden has also made other violent approving statements such as he would "beat the hell out of him" referring to President Trump [see video].

"As my brother, who loves to use lines from movies, a John Wayne movie, there's a good line in a movie, a John Wayne movie [he evidently forgot he already said that] where the Indian chief turns to John Wayne [Indian? Not PC, Joe] and says 'this is a lying dog-faced pony soldier," Biden blathered.

Meanwhile, Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi yelled out from the back of the room, "I get it! I get it!"

Biden went on: "Wll, let me tell ya, these guys are [inaudible word salad], they just stand up, flat out, stand up and say things that are absolutely mind-boggling. I love this one on trade, this I love, and by the way, I told you I come from an agricultural state, I don't know how you can possibly get elected in an agricultural state with the things he is saying."

"I get it! I get it!" Pelosi interjected.

Biden continued his soliloquy: "But, but, we're nearing the twentieth week of zero soybean orders to the Pacific and Northwest China and your guys calls farmers' concerns 'hysteria,' it says they don't have a very high threshold for pain."

"Well, I get that president of the trade union is up here and he'll show [Cramer] a threshold of pain."

"I don't get it," Pelosi said with a confused expression of her hands.
Heidi Heitkamp.

Seriously, the Democrats have got to stop the call for violence and intimidation of Republicans. They pretend it's the GOP that's violent, but it's both sides, mostly the left.
