Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds: Maybe Obama just "hates Jews"

March 27, 2010 1:22 pm ET by Eric Boehlert

Looks like wingnut Pam Geller is getting some company from online Obama haters now suggesting it's "plausible" that the president of the United States is a seething anti-Semite. 

From Reynolds [emphasis added]: 

Possibly Obama just hates Israel and hates Jews. That's plausible -- certainly nothing in his actions suggests otherwise, really.

(h/t Glenn Greenwald

      That's right, Pam, gin up another smear against the president because he is continuing a process started by GWB. Pay no attention to the facts.

      Ummm, hate to break it to these folks, but even some Jews are calling Israel on it's dumb moves. But, knowing them, they'll accuse the Jews who speak up as not being "real" Jews or anti0semitic, self hating Jews,

        Maybe he molests goats. Has he ever denied molesting goats?

        And if he did deny it, why would anyone believe him, the lying goat-molester.

      I'd love to see the percentahe overlap between those Jews who call Obama an anti-semite and those who accept the support from the 'Chrostian Zionists' whose end-time scenario is truly anti-Semitic. (The Jews all return to Israel -- where tehy either convert or get slaughtered in the Armageddon their return has hastened.)

      Now if anyone calls right-wing Obama haters RACIST, then that's an absolute crime, am I right?

      But criticize any action by Isreal, and you must be anti-semetic.

      Ok, NOW I get it!

        You're forgetting rule #1: IOKIYR.

        To be called racist is the worst thing in the world according to Breitbart, and we should stop throwing that term out there without hard evidence. I bet you some money he'll be one of the next one's in line to say Obama hates Jews.

      He's becoming a bit of a right-wing Ward Churchill, isn't he? I'm sure he'd hide behind his tenure if it becomes as issue at UT.

      A recent poll shows a large majority of Israeli Jews approve of Obama. Reich Wingers live in their own world where everybody is "attack" them. We need to add another phrase to the lexicon: "Conservative Victimhood."

      And nothing in his actions suggests he actually does, really. Just pointing out the obvious.

        If Obama hates Jews he has a funny way of showing it, given the number of Jews in his administration.

      I find it ironic that the people who supposedly love Israel support perpetual, unending conflict for their people.

      Yeah, Mr. Reynolds. The American people are just clamoring to send lots of tax dollars for illegal settlements.

      If Obama "hates Jews" then why was his best buddy a Rabbi who lived across the street from him in Hyde Park. Michelle's cousin is a Rabbi as well. Not to mention Rahm, Axelrod etc.
