Wingnut Senate Candidate Calls Chuck Schumer ‘That Jew’

Conservative base.Arkansas state Sen. Kim Hendren (Wingnut) wants to be a real-life senator in Washington, so he described Chuck Schumer to some local wingnut group as “that Jew.” But he didn’t mean anything by it! Schumer’s a Jew, after all. Just making note of the facts! “I ought not to have referred to it at all,” Hendren told the AP. “When I referred to him as Jewish, it wasn’t because I don’t like Jewish people. I shouldn’t have gotten into this Jewish business because it distracts from the issue.” Well said! [New York Daily News]

    “I shouldn’t have gotten into this Jewish business because it distracts from the issue.” I bet Hitler felt the same way.

    “I shouldn’t have gotten into this Jewish business because it distracts from the banking issue.”

    /fixed

  9. Custerwolf says at 2:58 pm, May 14th, 2009

    You should know better than to get into the Jewish business, they own all the fucking banks for chrissakes.

  10. Custerwolf says at 2:59 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Mr Blifil: Hey- is that JEW?

  11. Texan Bulldoggette says at 2:59 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Hey, he didn’t say ‘that skinflinted, big-nosed, weird-shit eating, diamond selling, Jeebus killing sum-of-a-bitch’. So, yeah, that’s progress in AR, where the state flower is a satellite dish and Jews are as plentiful as Mensa members.

  12. Cape Clod says at 2:59 pm, May 14th, 2009

    “I shouldn’t have gotten into this Jewish business because it distracts from the issue.”

    The issue being that he can’t stand Jews.

  13. proudgrampa says at 3:00 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Arkansas Senator Kim Hendron - that inbred mouthbreather!

  14. Scrodd says at 3:00 pm, May 14th, 2009

    He should have said “that Red Sea Pedestrian.”

  15. HoboNutz says at 3:00 pm, May 14th, 2009

    how can we fast track this man to the US Senate? Hero.

  16. tootsieroll says at 3:03 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Wait, this guy’s name is “Kim”? That Tranny FAG… JAP CHINAMAN!

  17. jimmynail says at 3:03 pm, May 14th, 2009

    That guy on the left isn’t a nazi. He’s just wearing a pretty pinafore and doing a “I’m a little teapot” dance, whilst trolling for ass.

  18. x111e7thst says at 3:03 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Clear the streets for the brown battalions.
    Clear the streets for the stormtroop men!
    Millions already look hopefully up to the swastika.
    The day is breaking for freedom and bread!

  19. Airborne Toxic Event says at 3:04 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Kim Hendren, looking forward to kicking some Jew ass on Easter Sunday.

  20. prophet1195 says at 3:05 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Arkansas state Sen. Kim Hendren bases his values on The Andy Griffith Show (?). Andy never called anyone, “That Jew”. George Bush: the unrepentent town drunk who lets himself in and
    out of jail. Remember Otis?

    memo to Hedren: Andy and Opie supported Barack Obama and they did an ad for Obama.

    Wonder if Republican Sen. Kim Hendren loved the 80+% top tax rate that was in effect at the
    time of The Andy Griffith Show?

  21. Cicada says at 3:05 pm, May 14th, 2009

    That Jew = That One = a bumpersticker waiting to happen.

  22. snideinplainsight says at 3:05 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Mr Blifil: Knock-knock?

    Who’s there?

    Oy am sure glad jew didn’t say “Jew” again!

  23. Turd Way says at 3:06 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Well, I hope this guy wins the race against Blanche Lincoln. Better to have Hendren (Wingnut-AR) than Lincoln (Walmart-AR). Hopefully labor will support this guy as payback if they can’t do it in the primary.

    New RNC Chairman-Elect?
    YES TO THAT HOT MESS.

    Is That Jew
    He’s matzo in a soup…
    He’s everything that every Jew should be!

    Torah, Bris Milahs, Seinfeld,
    That Jew
    Inquisitions, Israel, Messiahs…
    Is That Jew
    He’s New York’s Jew, but luckily for you…
    If you find a Jew to vote for,
    Only one Jew to vote for,
    Schumer’ll be That Jew too…
    That Jew!

  26. dijetlo says at 3:07 pm, May 14th, 2009

    No, he’s right, Charles Schumer is yiddish for “that Jew”.

  32. TeddyS says at 3:13 pm, May 14th, 2009

    He did not retract the part of Jews having horns and a tail because he touched a Jew on the head one time and, by God, there were little pointy horns on it! NRC Chairman Michael Steele and the National Republickkk Senatorial Committee are danged proud to have another outstanding Republicker candidate.

  33. VeganBolagnaSucks says at 3:19 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Mr Blifil: Not only is a he Jewish Jew,he’s Jewiest Jewish Jew who ever Jewed his way out of paying retail.

  35. binarian says at 3:21 pm, May 14th, 2009

    The issue is he forgot he wasn’t pandering to a crowd of drooling, in-bred rednecks. Remember, Kim, national stage now. Gotta keep those inside words inside.

  36. spryte says at 3:21 pm, May 14th, 2009

    SOME OF HIS BEST FRIENDS ARE JEWISH.

    I’m hurt - I want to be called “that Jew” one day. How special must Chuck feel!! I must not be Jewy enough to be THAT JEW.

  41. Cape Clod says at 3:27 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Schumer’s response to being called ‘That Jew’.

    Still have I borne it with an ancient shrug,
    For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
    You call me misbeliever, cut-throat dog,
    And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine,
    And all for use of that which is mine own.

  42. forgracie says at 3:27 pm, May 14th, 2009

    That’s SENATOR Jew to you, you Walmart frequently, cousin lusting, banjo toe tapping, moon shine swilling pig fucker. Excuse me, Razorback fucker. My bad.

  44. proudgrampa says at 3:30 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Well, maybe we got it wrong. Maybe someone just overheard Hendren on the phone with Schumer - “Hey, Charlie, is dat jew?”

  45. jodyleek says at 3:31 pm, May 14th, 2009

    I’ve never understood those who say the Holocaust was fake. If they hate Jews so much, wouldn’t they be thrilled that Hitler et al killed so many of them? Any Nazis out there who can answer? Maybe I should head over to the Corner or Free Republic…

  46. chascates says at 3:35 pm, May 14th, 2009

    And we know how many blacks & Hispanics were on the Andy Griffith show as well you asshole. I’ll come by later to throw rocks through your windows, by the way.

    proudgrampa: Sorry, Custerwolf - you were there first!

  48. SayItWithWookies says at 3:35 pm, May 14th, 2009

    jodyleek: I was just about to ask the same thing. It’s weird that the Holocaust deniers are the same ones who would most likely think it was a good idea. And after looking at that photo I might deny evolution for a little while — at least until I feel better about things.

    Boy, give the guy a break. He goes out of his way not to say “that Christ killer”, and everyone still gets their noses out of joint!

  52. snideinplainsight says at 3:52 pm, May 14th, 2009

    “I don’t use a teleprompter [sic] and occasionally I put my foot in my month,” Hendren told Arkansas blogger Jason Tolbert.

    YOu don’t use the TelEPromPterz, fool, the TeleProMterz use you!

  53. King Bong says at 3:54 pm, May 14th, 2009

    If you called Hendern an inbred, stumpbroke closet homo moron, you would just be stating what everybody already knows!

  54. StripesAndPlaids says at 3:55 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Mr Blifil: yes, but does he keep kosher?

  56. Come here a minute says at 4:02 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Why did he ever refer to Shumer’s religion? I hope he finds the final solution to the Jewish question.

  59. Scarab says at 4:16 pm, May 14th, 2009

    It was a misquote, he talks quickly.
    What he actually said was “Is that you, Schumer?” and its sounded like “That Jew Schumer.”
    Also, he actually said that “Obama’s a knee cur”, meaning he owns a small dog.

  60. Custerwolf says at 4:19 pm, May 14th, 2009

    The guy on the far right is a total nazi FAIL, he looks more like a pharmacist who just spotted his friend in the crowd.

  61. arclight says at 4:22 pm, May 14th, 2009

    He probably also calls Michael Steele “that jew”.

  62. Bruno says at 4:26 pm, May 14th, 2009

    This is why Walnuts is a superior class or Republican. He only referred to Barry as “that one” rather than “that negroidal” which is what he was thinking, which was the fashion at the time

  63. dave666 says at 4:40 pm, May 14th, 2009

    BTW, Schumer isn’t a jew. he is German-American

    Kim Hendren: Your Honor! I object to my reference to Chuck Shumer being a Jew! It distracts from the issue at hand (how I’m just like ya’ll, cause I hate Jews, that is).
    Judge: The Jury is instructed to ignore that identification of Chuck Shumer as a Jew. Forget about it — it never happened.

  72. spryte says at 5:31 pm, May 14th, 2009

    jodyleek: SayItWithWookies: Well, if I may get all serious and shit - the reason many anti-Semitic people are Holocaust deniers is largely because they hate the idea that something might garner sympathy and compassion for Jews. The Holocaust makes most, you know, not asshole people feel badly, and in particular feel badly for Jews who may have lost relatives and such. They say, wow these people were treated like absolute shit and six million of them were murdered and the goal was to kill every last one…that’s awful, I feel badly for them. Which makes anti-Semites all angry and pissy, because OMFG DON’T FEEL BADLY FOR THOSE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PEOPLE. They don’t want there to be any reason at all to treat Jews like…..um, humans.

  78. imissopus says at 8:39 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Well, calling Obama “that one” sure worked out well for Walnuts, so by all means borrow his strategy.

  79. DustBowlBlues says at 8:49 pm, May 14th, 2009

    Every bigot’s excuse is “but I didn’t mean anything by it.” I have actually heard more than one person in rural OK use Jew as a verb, as in “to jew” meaning haggle. Someone actually said it at church and I said, that’s not right. “I didn’t mean by anything by it.” Then I had to explain that it didn’t matter. Like someone calling her a bitch, but they don’t mean anything by it.

    Which is why I have so many friends. Other than on “my wonkette” of course.

  80. jodyleek says at 9:20 pm, May 14th, 2009

    spryte: I understand that they want to dehumanize Jews and others. I just think it’s a good way to call out bigots. Because I am sure if I pulled a Borat on them, they would totes give me the “Hi five!” if I pretended to relish that fact that 6 million non-Jeebus lovers were starved, gassed, or worse. I also find their argument that whites are the master race really silly. If whites are the master race, then why in nearly all “mixed” race relationships do the kids look like the non-white parent? White people are basically a sack of recessive genes. It is useless on my part to think one could use logic and science to knock some sense into these morans. Ahh, bigots…their stupid knows no bounds.

  81. Custerwolf says at 10:59 pm, May 14th, 2009

    jodyleek: You’ve proven you’re own point.

  82. I hope he finally finds a solution to his Jew business.

  83. MrsNateSilver says at 1:36 am, May 15th, 2009

    Mr Blifil: This was v. v. funny, except you fucked up. See, here: “YOU DONT GET MORE JEWISH THAN THAT AMOUNT OF JEWISHY JEWDOM” you were supposed to say “YOU DONT GET MORE JEWISH THEN THAT AMOUNT OF JEWISHY JEWDOM” because everyone nose wingnutz don’t no there homo-fucking-nyms. Homos. I could tell when you used the right word there, that you were just satirizing.

  84. TowerOfBabble says at 9:46 am, May 15th, 2009

    You forgot the best part:

    “Defending himself again to the Arkansas News, Hendren went further, saying he didn’t know why the words “that Jew” came out of his mouth. He added that there is a Jewish person in history he admires - Jesus. He’s also partial to Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman.”

  85. Unlearned Hand says at 10:10 am, May 15th, 2009

    Hendren in the Arkansas News: “I was simply making a point about those two points. I believe in those traditional values like Andy Griffith, Aunt Bea, Barney and Opie. But now all that was lost with this statement,” Hendren said.

    “I don’t have any issue with Jews or Jewish people or whatever the politically correct term they wish to be identified as,” he said. “I very much respect Senator Joe Lieberman”.

    “Whatever the politically correct term they wish to be identified as”? Has this man ever even met any actual Jews?

    Speaking as a son of Israel, I wish to be identified as a Better than You, You Ignorant Shit-American.

  86. Unlearned Hand: “Whatever the politically correct term they wish to be identified as”?

    Just keep talking your way out of trouble, Hendren - its bound to work.

    By the way, all your conversations are now being taped by the Moussad.
