Hillary Blames The Jews

First Hillary wanted more debates. She felt that the America public needed to hear her and Barack Obama delineate their subtle differences as many times as possible. She even ran an attack ad on Obama (after the jump) for only wanting to have 18 debates. With the North Carolina and Pennsylvania primaries coming up, you'd think Hillary would maintain her commitment to public pontification. But you'd be wrong, because she might back out of the debate scheduled for April 19 in North Carolina—hosted by Katie Couric, which would be her first time hosting. Clinton's claim: it's the first day of Passover, and no arguing can be had during the festival of the Unleavened bread. And she's Jewish now, apparently.

Jesus (said unironically), she'll miss no chance to advance her sleazy innuendos, in this case, that Obama doesn't care about Jews!

If only she could have skipped a debate instead of voting for the invasion of Iraq.

In a match race there is alot of jockeying. Barack just did the "wright" thing (politically) and has disavowed some of his Rev's statements.

I didn't see her shutting the fuck up during the month of Ramadan.

First they'll argue about whose people suffered worst under slavery. Then they'll argue about who's best at dealing with obstinate Middle Eastern leaders. They argue about whose health-care plan is best for treating plagues. But when the phrase "flat, flavorless white-bread cracker" gets thrown around, all hell will break loose.

She went on to say that she'd reconsider participating in the debate if they provided an extra seat for the prophet Elijah.

She'd earn my vote if she just shouted "Shomer fucking Shabbas!" in response to any press questions about her decision to back out of the debate.

If she backs out, does this mean that now Obama can give us the whole Megillah?

That's funny. She was Methodist when she was just a governor's wife in Arkansas.

By not backing out, Obama shows his true, anti-Semitic roots. As far as I know. I denouce and reject seder-haters. -HRC

That's the thing about Methodists, they're easy, whatever. Kate Capshaw WAS Methodist too.

Thank G-d the level of discourse is being elevated in this elections. I was so sick of politics-as-usual.

Her campaign isn't just throwing out the kitchen sink, its throwing out the pipes, the wall the sink was attached to, bottles of Draino...

God, she's fucking desperate.

@IronSheik: We (the Jews) sold here that sink and plumbing, and we run the landfill her campaign is relegating it to; for a fee, naturally.

There are times when it seems that some non-Jews are neurologically hardwired to start spontaneously yammering about Jews or Judaism apropos of nothing, really.

It's not as though millions of American Jews have been clutching their haggadot and seething, "THAT DEBATE IS GOING TO RUIN OUR FAVORITE HOLIDAY!!"

Jews generally don't expect non-Jews to pay close attention to when Jewish holidays fall because the Hebrew calendar is weird and complicated and even gets an "intercalary lunar month" added every few years. (Then there's always the added nightmare of explaining that the Jewish "day" actually begins at nightfall. For an extra-special bonus nightmare there's trying to explain that some Jewish holidays are celebrated for two days in the Diaspora and only one day in Israel, but that some Diaspora Jews also celebrate them for only one day.)

But since HRC has started this, we might has well start taking a hard look at whether any other minor political events are gonna put a damper on Succos, Purim, Tu B'Shvat, or Shemini Atzeret.

Who Is Not Getting This?

Perhaps it is Me?

But I thought: you people are ultimately going to have to be called/named as... Republicans.

The New Yorker piece on Hillary this week -- which I finally got around to reading -- is one of the bigger travesties in the history of the magazine.

Don't care if you buy into it... just want to say that Obama Cannot win. And that any vote for him is a vote misspent. Those of you who disagree are entitled to your opinions. This is (Stlll?) America.

But I believe you are wrong. I am not a shill for Hillary. (Not even close.) Just don't think anyone else can beat the GOP.

Remember: they know how to fight dirty. (And believe in it too). They aren't stupid, just supremely twisted...

Let's hope you're right: I'll hold my nose and vote for the Oreo, if I have to. But doubt it will do any good --

Oh hell. If you guys don't get it: what are my chances with the people from Muncie and Dubuque. I'm screwed?

Happy 'nother 4 years! Or more -- because 4 years after that, we're gonna get JEB!!

I would like to hear Hillary Clinton's plan for my life. Barack Obama has already said that I should do my own thing. That doesn't seem structured enough for me. What happens when I'm 75 and need health care? Or matzoh?
