JNS.org - When all else fails, play the race card.
With the White House campaign against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu running out of steam, the administration’s supporters scraped the bottom of the barrel last week, suggesting that the Israeli leader is a racist for accepting the invitation from Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner (R-Ohio).
A number of members of the Congressional Black Caucus emerged from a recent meeting with Obama to announce that they will not attend Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. As U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) said, it was “about President Barack Obama being a black man disrespected by a foreign leader.”
Congressional Black Caucus chairman Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.) told reporters, implausibly, that the subject of Netanyahu’s speech “didn’t come up” during their 90-minute meeting with the president. But then he proceeded to lambast Israel’s leader for supposedly being “disrespectful.”
Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) echoed the “disrespectful” charge. Rep. Greg Meeks (D-N.Y.) chimed in that Netanyahu’s decision “is an insult to the president of the United States.”
An insult?
They want to talk about Obama, Netanyahu, and insults?
How about the distributing photo of Obama with his feet on his desk, and letting it be known that it was taken while he was talking on the phone to Israel’s prime minister?
How about Obama getting up in the middle of a meeting with Netanyahu and telling him to wait (for more than an hour) while the president went to eat dinner with Michelle and the girls?
How about Obama complaining to the president of France, in front of a live microphone, that he is burdened with “having to deal with” Netanyahu?
How about Obama’s senior aide telling the media that Netanyahu is comparable to chicken excrement?
Those are genuine insults.
Now add irony to insult—compare the anger of the Congressional Black Caucus at Israel to the silence of that Caucus regarding Arab and Muslim maltreatment of blacks, including actual slavery, around the world.
In the Darfur region of Sudan, government-sponsored Arab militias have slaughtered 300,000 blacks and made refugees out of 2 million more. Human Rights Watch recently reported that Sudanese Arab soldiers have raped hundreds of black girls and women en masse.
In Nigeria, the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram kidnaps and enslaves black girls.
In Mauritania, Arabs hold between 10 and 20 percent of the black population in slavery, CNN reported last year.
When was the last time the Congressional Black Caucus said anything about the persecution of blacks in Arab or Muslim countries? Where are the angry marches, the congressional resolutions, the demands for action by the U.S. government? Have they even taken five minutes to issue a measly press release about the mass rape of black girls in Darfur?
This is the real insult—the insult to our intelligence that the Congressional Black Caucus has delivered by slandering Israel while the real racists of the Muslim world get away scot-free.
Moshe Phillips and Benyamin Korn are president and chairman, respectively, of the Religious Zionists of America, Philadelphia, and candidates on the Religious Zionist slate in the World Zionist Congress elections.
Obama is ghetto trash who treats everyone like dirt, while simultaneously complaining that he is “disrespected”.
The problem is ... Obama, himself, is a RACIST!
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

As far as I’m concerned, those members of congress OWE the voters the decency of educating themselves so that they can make decent decisions.
It’s their job, and they aren’t doing it. I don’t care what excuses they use.
Vengeance is God’s alone, but some days I really wish I could see the punishment of the wicked.
Good grief! Up is down and down is up. It’s obozo and the black caucus who refuse to meet or attend the speech when Netanyahu is here. Don’t they have it upside down? Of course, they do but that’s the only view of the world they have.
They are all Anti-Semitic and it’s really that simple!! Chew on that, you retards!
It’s right side up to them
It’s okay if the Black Congressional Caucasian Caucus does not attend. They wouldn’t be able to understand the big words Bibi uses in his speech. They can get the translation from English into Ebonics later.
Once everything has been translated to single syllables, and unintelligible screams of outrage, the BCC can respond with the usual bullshit.
There isn’t a word strong enough to describe my contempt for these barely literate, barely functional, entirely useless, ahem, people. No government tit, they die. Which would be a good thing.
Isn't he busy enough making sure that Guam doesn't tip over?
If Hussein wasn’t black, would he be anything at all, except probably Muslim? Because his posse refers everything, everything, to his blackness. (Of course they don’t mention his Muslim-ness, but then taqqiyya accepts, requires, lies to the “infidel”).

The race card doesn’t work very well outside of our culture,
because other cultures haven’t had the leftists beating the drum of white guilt for decades like they have here.
It doesn’t work at all in Israel-they are open about desiring to retain Israel’s identity as a Jewish state-and I say more power to them-I only wish the West had the same resolve.
