Re: Why they hate us, part 17
 

So, why do you think they put a Yarmulke on the man?

So, maybe this cartoon is an Egyptian newspaper's translation of a Jewish man commenting on the Dem presidential candidates in the US. The Jewish man might even be in the US, or he might be in the Middle East. Hmmm...

That's what it looks like to me, do you think it's a sly reference to the Jewish/Black race riots a few years ago in New York City?

No need for conspiracy theories, Pat. The man is wearing a kufi.

Hmmm, Jewish, Black, and isn't Hillary now a New Yorker? Hmmm.

I wonder if they also do cartoons about Brittany Spears and Anna Nichole Smith?

Yes, she's one now. The man's face is a classic characiture of a jewish man, like the one's the National Socialists used to print.

I think we can write this one off as propaganda, and a very poor attempt at that.

Wait, you don't think Rearden would stoop to this, do you?

But someone must hate us, right? If not the Jewish guy in the cartoon, then who?

Well that's a relief. I was thinking that the second largest daily in the Arab world published a cartoon criticizing the audacity of the Americans to consider a woman or "Negro" as President. But it turns out it's just a Jew. That makes more sense.

Is he actually criticizing? Maybe the Egyptian translation of the Jewish guys words is garbled. Maybe he's wondering who moved the pic of Ron Paul?

Or John McCain, the hero of Vietnam.

Now that makes sense. He's probably a contributor.

OK, so, once again...who hates us?

You think, huh? Very interesting display of how you pass off things that are uncomfortable -- challenging your world view -- as "propaganda". And now I am in one of your conspiracy theories! How fun.

I don't think he knows, based on his statements he thinks this is about him.

Bizarre.

ah yep.

The knee jerk reactions of some . . . benefit of the doubt goes to anybody but . . .

wow, the lack of understanding of predominant mindsets in the ME is....um...not very surprising.

Speaking of lack of understanding . . what are you trying to say?

The cartoon can be interpreted many ways.

I think it is ridicule. Ridiculing Americans for allowing these candidates. Does that translate to hate?

I think it should show that Arab dominated countries are NOT ready for this wonderful democracy that America has embraced.

HINT HINT GWB

I think that the cartoon merely illustrates that it is pretty funny in any language that anyone would actually consider either of the two democratic frontrunners as serious candidates for anything...much less leader of the United States.
