Too much is being made of Barack Obama’s National Security Advisor General James Jones’ innocent joke as he started off giving the key note speech at a Washington Institute For Near East Policy last week.
Here’s the joke:
"I'd like to begin with a story that I think is true, a Taliban militant gets lost and is wandering around the desert looking for water. He finally arrives at a store run by a Jew and asks for water. The Jewish vendor tells him he doesn’t have any water but can gladly sell him a tie. The Taliban, the jokes goes on, begins to curse and yell at the Jewish storeowner. The Jew, unmoved, offers the rude militant an idea: Beyond the hill, there is a restaurant; they can sell you water. The Taliban keeps cursing and finally leaves toward the hill. An hour later he’s back at the tie store. He walks in and tells the merchant: "Your brother tells me I need a tie to get into the restaurant."
Of course, all hell is now coming down on General Jones from the usual crybabies and "anti Semitic" baiters, and you can bet Jones will be out on his ass in this Friday night’s news dump unless Obama suddenly finds a pair and stands up for this real American hero – but this kind of witch hunt has to stop.
Get a sense of humor, America! Turn on any television ad these days and all you’ll see is White Males being portrayed as bumbling twits no smarter than a child (and often being lectured to by one); you don’t hear them wining and crying!
Follow their lead and LIGHTEN UP, you touchy crybabies! I'm counting on Obama to do the right thing and tell the "anti Semitic" baiters like that douche Abe Foxman that we all have REAL work do do!
