The most outrageous of all, Roy Blunt blamed the failure of the bill on having to rush it through so Jewish members could go home for the Jewish New Year holiday. That's it, it's official. They are now blaming the Jews. We got all the mileage we could by blaming blacks, gays and hispanics. It's time to blame the Jews, right on cue. I was absolutely disgusted by the press conference.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

1. Blunt.

[Solomon]

31. LOL

Go Rummy!

[vanderBeth]

2. Why doesn't he just join the Nazis and call it a day.

:puke:

[Ilsa]

3. Reminescent of another so-called Christian blaming

a nation's economic woes on the Jews.

[tblue]

9. Not to mention Sarah's Pastor Murthee praying against the "Israelites"

[Gman]

4. Blame the Jews: An oldie but goodie from the real conservative RW nuts

Don't you just miss the John Birch Society?

[MnFats]

11. it's been therre all along.

see anything by Pat Buchanan in recent years..

[zulchzulu]

5. It's greedy, self-absorbed Baptists like Blunt who got us in this mess

Two can play this game.

[Barack_America]

6. Unbelievable.

Happy Rosh Hashanah, btw.

[npincus]

8. thank yew!

:)

[kenny blankenship]

7. I was wondering when that would happen

[anonymous171]

10. From the headline, I thought he was blaming the Zionist banker conspiracy or something

[treestar]

12. Second time I've heard of this loser repuke

First time he was claiming Obama was using the cops to quell dissent in MO somehow.

Now it's confirmed he is a dirtbag.

[vaberella]

13. I saw that. I called RACISM!!! I saw that they blasted Jews. Fuckin' pissed me off! n/t

[agentS]

14. Talk about "dusting off the old playbook"

They already blamed everybody else, so I guess Blunt had no choice but to blame the last remaining group on the list.

Of course, they'll NEVER blame the real culprits here, McCain, Gramm, and Bush!

[Hippo_Tron]

15. Can you imagine what he would be saying if they were considering working over Christmas or Easter

He would grab the first microphone he could find and scream at the top of his lungs about how Democrats don't respect Christians.

BTW if there is a crisis like the current one I think that congress should work through any holiday, no matter what religion. If you can't put your religious practices aside for for a day in order to save your country then you shouldn't be in Congress, period. But I also don't tolerate hypocrisy on this issue. Somebody needs to ask Blunt if he would work over Christmas or Easter.

[Patiod]

21. That would be considered War on Christmas!! (nt)

[democrat2thecore]

16. Actually.....there was a rush for that reason. Why can't we talk about it?

No need to be politically correct here - it's a fact that things were going to grind to a halt due to Rosh Hashana. Not only the Jewish members of Congress, but the major players working on a financial package are Jewish. No need to hide from the truth - and there's nothing wrong with it! How would Christian members of Congress feel about working over Easter on a bailout package?

Blunt was wrong in making it sound as if there's something wrong with it.

[Chorophyll]

19. Well, we'll try to stage the next fiscal crisis on Holy Thursday

to prove your point.

Sincerely, The Jews

:sarcasm:

It's just so Weimar-ish around here today.

[democrat2thecore]

22. LOL -nt

[npincus]

23. wrong- it's OK to talk about it, but to BLAME the failure to pass the bill

because of the Jewish holiday? Further, I think it was on Tweety's show, someone noted that non-Jewish House members left early as well.

There's nothing PC here. The failure of the House leaders to corral a handful of votes, costing the economy the equivalent of (2) 700 billion dollar packages, has nothing to do w/ "the Jews".

[LanternWaste]

38. I thought it was that the congress members simply wanted a weekend off

I thought it was that the congress members simply wanted a weekend off. :shrug:

You can of course point us towards a valid and relevant link which states emphatically that the rush to complete the bill was due primarily to Jewish members of Congress wanting to leave Washington to celebrate, yes?

Or is this simply conjecture on your part...?

[Jennicut]

17. LOL. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

Cause of a holiday?! BRAHAHAHHAHAH! Where is Joementum when you need him? He needs to defend the House Jews!

[NewJeffCT]

18. Wait - last week, they blamed the whole mess on poor minorities

for getting loans 30 years ago...

whose next?

[Chorophyll]

20. Lovely. We really are 1930's Germany now. nt

[Ganja Ninja]

24. Anything but take responsibility for their own mess. n/t

[sufrommich]

25. Please,that's just hyperbole. There's plenty of real anti semitism

out there,why diminish it by posting crap like this?

[npincus]

26. crap, to you friend. I found that obnoxious and offensive.

Thank you for the tip on all the 'real anti-semitism' out there; that is something I didn't know and have had no experience with in my life. Nor the previous generations of mine murdered in the Hololocaust.

[Binka]

27. That poster is full of burnt toast. You Have every tight to feel offended.

As if Blunt wasn't spewing "real anti-semitism". WTF. His GARBAGE was as real as it gets. Hug friend. This Catholic sister has your hand, Blunt's remarks are WAY out of line. WAY.

[specialed]

28. Love the sticker.

Roy Blunt is a tool.

[Democat]

29. Republicans blaming Jews for the world's problems?

What's new? Next you'll say Republicans are blaming Mexicans or black people!

[DRoseDARs]

30. While some are hyperventilating, this was just Roy exhibiting some foot-in-mouth disease.

32. a schmuck is a schmuck is a schmuck

no hyperventiliating here... calling him out for being a schmuck.

Thanks for the lists... interesting. I'll bet there's an Adam Sandler song in there!

[Lucy Goosey]

33. Blunt must be out of the loop, others have moved on to blaming Blacks now...

Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell have BOTH come out and stated Obama is partly to blame because he didn't get the Black Caucus on board with the bail out bill:

:eyes:

[polmaven]

34. I just had a phone conversation

with my pastor, and she asked how I felt about what went on yesterday in Congress. She asked if I thought Nancy Pelosi blew it.

When I told her that the Republicans have moved on from that excuse to blaming Jews, I thought she was going to have a stroke. "Oh no, he DIDN'T! You ARE kidding, right? What's his middle name, Adolph?" I remarked that I guess she had not heard that, and she replied "No, and I wish I hadn't heard it now. What an anti-semitic jerk."

[bdamomma]

35. Mr. Blunt you have some anger issues.

what a sick SOB.

[SurfingAtWork]

36. Yeah, thats it Roy. Those damn shifty Jews. If only we could put them

All in one place.. like a camp.. maybe we could put them to work.

:sarcasm:

[Supersedeas]

37. Joe Skankburg and his smiling sidekick Meeker floated that talking point too

[Sebastian Doyle]

39. When asked to clarify his comments, Mr. Blunt replied....

"Look, I ain't got nothin' against them Jews or anything like that, but can't the damn heathens have their funny little holidays on the same days every year like us normal people do? Y'all don't have Christmas in November and Easter in July do ya? But them Jews want to celebrate New Years in September?? Hell, there ain't even any football games!!1!1!1!!" :crazy:
