My biggest beef with people like OWD? Trolling or not, they make it harder for me to voice my opinions about the political state of Israel without being thought of as racist. Alot of people never hear the well-reasoned arguments against support for Israel. All they hear are the ravings of white supremacists who go to bed with a copy of The Turner Diaries on their nightstand. So when people like myself come along to make our points, some will hear only “anti-Isreal” and equate it with those modern day Nazis. Here on the SDMB, people can distinguish those points, but it seems that in the wider public world, the fear to be associated with people like OWD has made Israel a “hands-off” subject for far too long.
Hey, I’ll dis Israeli politics at the drop of a hat. As my mother is fond of saying, lock 4 Jews in a room for an hour and you’ll get 5 new political parties.
Nevertheless, they’re the only democracy in the Middle East, so even if my parents weren’t Jewish, I’d still bias in Israel’s favour.
As for racists, they start with a flawed premise and arguing with them is like wrestling a well-oiled person of a gender that doesn’t match your sexual preference. It takes a lot of energy and there’s no climax in sight.
For some reason, this thread is making me think of The Producers, (coming to DVD December 3!)
“Don’t be a dummy, be a schmarty,
come und join the Nazi party!”
"Not many people know it, but the Fuhrer was a terrific dancer. "
“Churchill! With his cigars, with his brandy, and his rotten painting! Rotten! Hitler…there was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in ONE afternoon! TWO coats!!”
Just one argument against the “master race”:
Y’all are so obviously inferior to the rest of us that it is incredibly laughable when you claim to be the “master race”.
For example, you are afraid to compete in the workforce- you always complain about “mud people” coming here to take “our” jobs. That’s funny, those of us who are not incompetent and inferior have no fear of competing in a wider job market…
Goddamn! A skin who has a JR High level writing ability. Quick, capture him we must study him for science!
It just goes to show how powerful random mutations are… I mean somehow he had to overcome the genomic problems caused by generations of inbreeding. There is a hope for America’s Educational System.
