Rep. Gomer Says All Jews That Support Obama Are 'Self Loathing'

Not The Onion!

http://crooksandliars.com/2016/03/rep-louis-gohmert-calls-jews-supports

Crazy Texas Rep. Louis Gohmert, is at it again.

He usually spends his venom on liberals or President Obama, but now he's turned his wrath against many Jews in this country and abroad.

While speaking on a radio talk show, Gohmert said that the only way a child of Israel could ever support President Obama is if he/she hates oneself....

“Now he gets along fine with the Israel-haters,” he continued. “But, and it breaks my heart, but there are some children of Israel who just apparently seem to be self-loathing when it comes to Israel – but yeah, those folks he gets along with fine.”

He has a truly massive ego. In what way is he 'self-loathing'? He hates plenty of other human beings, sure, but he thinks the categories he belongs to are good.

Of course, that is an obvious statement when it comes to Gohmert. I "love" how so many non-Jews take it upon themselves to tell Jews who and what we are, what is and isn't anti-Semitism, and who we should and shouldn't vote for; but the last one, well, apparently we are the ones who "lose" elections for democrats (along with gays, and sometimes African-Americans) when we don't vote "correctly" or in enough numbers.

"Christ killing, blood sucking vampires, who are more loyal to Israel than the US" are just some of the most recent favorites I have seen, but the self-loathing for not voting correctly has only come back up on the right with this and few other articles I saw, but it was usually fringe sites. I have seen the allegation tossed at Jews supporting Clinton over Sanders from the left, though...and always by people who aren't Jews!

Cannot fathom that Liberalism is a long-time tradition among American Jews. It's not self-loathing to oppose AIPAC or Likud. Which Obama doesn't even do, anyway! He's just not as fanatical as our Republicans that are trying to bring about the End Times.

Does Gohmert know that there's even Israeli Jews that oppose Netanyahu and vote against him?
