Reading Leery Johnson and his band of assylum escapees' twisted ramblings is one of my guilty pleasures.
Some like Gossip Girls, others Dog the Bounty Hunter.
I like me some internet crazy.
puma hate and anti-semitism...
By American Girl in Italy
*************************************
Is puma the new jew - a people persecuted for their beliefs, and eventually for their failure to fall in line, and follow the chosen one?
snip the part pretending this isn't reaaaaallllyy trying to make such a horrific comparison and you'll see why in a bit.
Straight to the nutz of the piece.
I started this post with the intent of trying to better understand the current Israel/Hamas conflict, by creating what if’s. I thought if I brought the concepts home I might be able to better understand the anger and outrage coming from both sides. The process, and research led me to thinking about the hate directed towards one group for holding beliefs different than the majority, which brings me to the comment, is puma the new jew.
snip 9/11 Muslims Israel Iraq Rev Wright Nukem' All day dreaming
Anyway, these are scenarios I kicked around in my brain, trying to come to an understanding of the Israeli/Hamas conflict. As I was pondering these scenarios, my mind wandered to why Hamas, and all Muslim countries want to eliminate Israel’s existence. Why do Muslims hate Jews?
snip three paragraphs of ignorant musings on why the middle east is a volatile place
I was reading around in the blogosphere, and reading a lot of other blogs, especially ones attacking Larry for his comments about the disproportionate response by Israel (which labeled him anti-Semitic and got rather ugly and nasty) I found myself reading lots of hateful posts about PUMAS. Honestly, I was shocked....I have written many times before, that from the day I eagerly logged on, put my fingers to the keys, and proudly wrote, I support Hillary. I was attacked, called a racist, and worse. (And, I even liked Obama in the beginning. Didn’t know anything about him, but thought he looked interesting, and wanted to get to know more. It was when I began to learn more, that I fell out of favor.)..
Snip some primary revisionism about the pure as the driven snow Hillary supporters being exterminated from progressive websites for holding unpopular beliefs. (like Sarah Palin is teh awesome)
Now, as I peruse the blogosphere, I am appalled at so many attacks on PUMAS... Honestly, even though I called myself a PUMA, I never really followed any of the groups, I just rejected Obama, and the Democrat party, and found others, like me.
Now, this brings me all the way back to my beginning, is puma the new jew. A people persecuted for their beliefs, and eventually for their failure to fall in line, and follow the chosen one.
To bring Judaism into modern times, the last 2000 years, Jews rejected Jesus as the son of God, which was a major turning point in western history. Jesus was a major game changer in our history. The acceptance of Jesus changed things politically and religiously.
snip two paragraphs where we get the gratuitous messiahs reference to Obama, and to keep with the analogy she posits that Jews rejected Jesus because he was becoming too popular and divisive among Jewry. Even suggesting Jewish leadership plotted against Jesus to retain a larger power base.
This is where teh crazy it burnz.
But, whatever the reason, they did not accept that Jesus was the savior. They didn’t believe or accept that he was The Chosen One, or sent down from God, as his son, and they have paid for their beliefs ever since.
But wasn’t that their right? To reject an idea or belief of someone else? To reject someone who claims to be the chosen one the one we have been waiting for? If you don’t believe that this one, is the one, is that not your right?
I'm gonna go ahead and snip out another promise this isn't making a horrific comparison b/c I'm sure by now you would see it for the shallow and grotesque platitude it is.
But, I did garner a bit of understanding into what it must feel like, as a Jewish person (and I am talking about Jewish people as individuals, not as a country, and discussing their politics), to be a relative minority, that chose a belief different than the majority, and to be hated for that choice. And not just hated, but to be attacked, and to be wished extinct. Just for believing in something different.
Now it doesn't get much clearer than that.
Did I mention yet that Leery Johnson's insane asylum is up for a prestigious blog award for... best political coverage
Why not show teh crazies some love and vote for Josh or Nate.
I'm going to steal the last line of teh crazy to use for my summation and conclusion about Leery's place.
It sucks. And it’s sad.
