Cause he’s a Muslim and they’re sworn enemies. Plus, you know, he’s Obama. ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > Why should Jews be “against Obama?” Why should anyone anything? The fact that she said that further illustrates that she gets her motivation from talking points filtered down through talking heads. One must be against Obama, so one must be against healthcare. The topic dejour could be Free Handjobs for Veterans and there’d still be the same amount of feigned outrage and racists with guns and heil hitlers. (“Free handjobs? That’s socialism! It’ll destroy the for-profit handjob industry!”) ---

I’m not entirely sure this pitting is justified. Presumably crazy IDF lady didn’t know the guy was a Jew, and she was suggesting that he was a Nazi because he’s pro-UHC (:rolleyes:), so it’s not like she was actually, uh, heiling. Okay, I take that back, because she’s fucking stupid- but probably not a Nazi. ---

Just watched the video. What a vile woman that was and how emblematic of the political right these days. The Israeli guy was making some good points, and at least trying to engage in some kind of substantive discussion, but this bitch had no interest in or comprehension of any of it. What was with the mock crying? what a sociopathic cunt. That guy had more self control than I do. I wanted to punch her through my computer screen. By the way. How ABOUT the fact that Israel has nationalized health care? Obama should use that constantly. Force these fuckwads to either trash Israel and call it socialist, or admit they’ve been full of shit all along. ---

I pretty much assumed that she was trying to call HIM a Nazi, which is just as stupid and offensive in any case. ---

Hmmmm. between her, and the gun toters and the other disruptors, maybe they are TRYING to get arrested? “Help! I’m being oppressed! See the injustice inherent in the system!” ---

I don’t condone violence, except when it’s awesome, but I seriously think that man could have punched her right in the face and have been fully justified. Even if taken to court, temporary insanity would suffice. The fact that he stayed otherwise collected is pretty admirable. The problem is, he was trying to use facts and logic, which are useless against someone who just hates Obama on principal. I like how, in the second video (shot earlier), she says “these people who’ve been in office so long, and just want more political power” regarding the current admin. Now, who does that sound like? An administration full of political lifers who want nothing but to expand their power. Hmm… I thought Obama’s problem was that he has no experience. ---

Is that the Pamela Pilger who is a doctor in Cincinnati? There’s only one photo online that I could find, and it’s too small to tell. ---

Yeah, I got her phone number too, but didn’t want to post it. I think that’s a pretty dirty thing to do, and will only make things worse. If a bunch of internet jerkwads started spamming my phone for something I’d said or done, I’d feel pretty emboldened about whatever I did, not embarrassed. Unless I touched a kid or something, then I’d need to evaluate my life. ---
