Hey, moron with the “health care reform = Dachau” sign at yesterday’s protest: freaking Elie Wiesel hates you, or at the very least… you know… considers that a false equivalency. On Twitter. [Twitter]
Those two South Carolina county GOP chairs who got BUSTED yesterday for calling Sen. Jim DeMint a cheap Jew — as a compliment however! — have now apologized to the Internet. James Ulmer and Edwin Merwin, who wrote in response to an editorial attacking Jim DeMint for his weak procurement of federal dollars that, “There is a saying that the Jews who are wealthy got that way not by watching dollars, but instead by taking care of the pennies and the dollars taking care of themselves,” now say that they did not mean any offense by using this line of logic that Adolf Hitler once heard and went insane over.

A Democratic state senator in South Carolina recently opined in The State that Sen. Jim DeMint, while rather deft in the arts of being tragically insane on a national level, does a poor job of bringing money home for his state, SOME OF WHICH MIGHT HELP. An unfair criticism? So unfair!, declared “Bamberg County GOP Chairman Edwin Merwin and Orangeburg County GOP Chairman James Ulmer” in a response. Let’s see how they made their case! “There is a saying that the Jews who are wealthy…” OH GOD. MORE »
Nutty old Maryland neo-Nazi coot James von Brunn hated the Liberals so much yesterday that some “new evidence” suggests he was going to go shoot up the offices of Bill Kristol’s Weekly Standard, later, because he hated neocons and Jews and Bill O’Reilly so much too. MORE »
As everyone in Chicago knows, Barack Obama’s two best black friends are Islamist leader Louis Farrakhan and Jeremiah Wright, Barack’s anti-white preacher. Why does Barack consort with them? Will he bring hope to America’s white Jews when he’s sultan? Tim Russert is determined to know.
Diplohater Condi Rice and more than a dozen intelligence officials “must testify about their conversations with pro-Israel lobbyists, a federal judge ruled Friday in an espionage case.” Two former American Israel Public Affairs Committee lobbyists are being tried for passing on classified Pentagon information to Israeli people. But we assume the judge won’t rule against them, because that would be anti-Semitic. [AP via WP]
Representative Darrel Issa (R-CA) may have some legitimate grievances with certain elements of the Jewish community, but that doesn’t make this any less funny: MORE »
This very special edition of Cartoon Violence is brought to you by Today’s Cartoons and Snakes on a Plane FEVER, which has infected our resident cartoon expert the Comics Curmudgeon — along with, uh, The Descent fever, Floyd Landis fever, and drunk anti-semitism fever. Tragically, the Gawker Contributor health plan does not cover conditions caused by pointless action movie references (nor, we shoud clarify, any other conditions).
After the jump, cartoons tackle pop culture, wrestle it to the ground, and drain it of joy.
The heat and Today’s Cartoons have, quite possibly, driven our poor little cartoon expert the Comics Curmudgeon right over the edge. He’s starving them and making them fight — the upside is, whoever loses, we win!
After the jump — Joementum, Iraq, anti-semitic action stars, and the unbearable heat.
Still wishing to perform its civic duty and help ensure that the world never forgets what went on in those dark days, ABC is looking to a production team headed by Pat Buchanan and Mahmoud Ahmedinejad to complete the series. MORE »
