Thanks, maven. Interesting video!

Good link maven and well said jackie Mason :clap:

[Y. Shulamith]

Well, I am part of the 70% of Dems., that don't believe in the "liberal agenda nonsense"...AND if I were to have to change parties in order to make sure that Israel is treated fairly and without the "liberal pro-Gazan/PLO/Arab bias", I would surely do it, come next election. Nothing is written in stone, as to blind faith in the Democrats, if this is the shape of things to come.

And Bob Dylan On Gaza And The Whole History:

Well, the "neighborhood bully", he's just one man
His enemies say he's on their land
They got him outnumbered about a million to one
He got no place to escape to, no place to run
He's the "neighborhood bully".

The "neighborhood bully" he just lives to survive
He's criticized and condemned for being alive
He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have thick skin
He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in
He's the "neighborhood bully".

The "neighborhood bully" been driven out of every land
He's wandered the earth an exiled man
Seen his family scattered, his people hounded and torn
He's always on trial for just being born
He's the "neighborhood bully".

Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized,
Old women condemned him, said he could apologize
Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad
The bombs were meant for him. He was supposed to feel bad
He's the "neighborhood bully".

Well, the chances are against it, and the odds are slim
That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
'Cause there's a noose at his neck and a gun at his back
And a licence to kill him is given out to every maniac
He's the "neighborhood bully".

Well, he got no allies to really speak of
What he gets he must pay for, he don't get it out of love
He buys obsolete weapons and he won't be denied
But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side
He's the "neighborhood bully".

Well, he's surrounded by pacifists who all want peace
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease
Now, they wouldn't hurt a fly. To hurt one they would weep
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep
He's the "neighborhood bully".

Every empire that's enslaved him is gone
Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon
He's made a garden of paradise in the desert sand
In bed with nobody, under no one's command
He's the "neighborhood bully".

Now his holiest books have been trampled upon
No contract that he signed was worth that what it was written on
He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health
He's the "neighborhood bully".

What's anybody indebted to him for ?
Nothing, they say. "He just likes to cause war"
Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed
They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed
He's the "neighborhood bully".

What has he done to wear so many scars ?
Does he change the course of rivers ? Does
he pollute the moon and stars ?
"Neighborhood bully", standing on the hill
Running out the clock, time standing still
"Neighborhood bully".

Watch: "Neighborhood bully": Bob Dylan.

I agree with everything that Jackie said. Thank heavens famous people like him speak out.

But viewing You Tube makes me feel ill sometimes. Looking at the comments there, someone has posted who's username is JewsRLiars. I've reported him but I know from experience that You Tube will do nothing about it. All they care about is copyright infringement as they could get legal action against them otherwise. They do nothing about antisemitism.

This is an example of the liberals Jackie is referring to:

Thanks for that. I've officially lost respect for Jon Stewart, or Jon Leibowitz or whatever his real name is. I used to quite like him.

Satire against Bush is one thing, satire against the all politicians and the news in general is fine. It creates debate and that's healthy. But he demonstrated in that clip how much he misunderstands the level of malevolent threat that the Palestinians pose against Israel and a grave misunderstanding regarding how peaceful solutions have never worked in the past anyway. They only make matters worse. If Israel hadn't disengaged from Gaza in 2005 none of this would have happened.

George Will and Harry Reid made cogent points about what the US would do if missles were fired into San Diego or Seattle, Stewart responds by turning it into jokes about rockets containing tequila and hookers and Canada not having missles capable of reaching the US. I wish Jon would go spend a few months in Sderot until he gets it.

[Yala]

Wow, can Jon Stewart sink any lower??? He is just playing up to his crowd, the Democrats, b/c this is the direction they're going. The writing is on the wall.

Not all Dem's are the devil and not all Repub's are angels.

Don't forget Nixon and Agnew!!!!

Agnew was real scum....:stick:

Jackie sums it up nicely. Great find

Liberals per se, Jewish and/or otherwise aren't the problem. That is just an opposite stereotype to the way things really are.

Let us not forget whom it was that had us RUN out of Lebanon when the Marines were bombed, as fast as they could get out and thusly gave OBL the idea that American soldiers and people were yellow.

HINT: R for the party and R for the person.

I am sorry to hear that Brits have sunk this low......or is it the Muzzie factor? Here in the USA there are leftists of the lunatic fringe but they aren't most of the liberals in the USA, at least not yet, to my knowledge. I've visited the DU (Democratic Underground) website and they should stay underground, because they represent the lunatic fringe leftists of the Democratic Party, IMHO. Just go there and tell them all that Gaza should go to hell and Israel is in the right. They'd run you right offa the board.

Y.Shulamith, I think you need to check out Dailykos.com or Huffingtonpost.com. There are mainstream Democratic websites, and the most popular Democratic websites. Hilary Clinton even went to the Daily Kos convention. Something tells me this is going to be a wake up call for you. Unfortunately, it's not just the lunatic fringe of the Democratic party that is anti-Israel.

Yes, I've read the Huff Post and a couple of other of those websites. I hope that I am wrong in that statistically, they (the very far left) are anti-Israel and the rest of the lefties are more middle of the roaders in the USA in the broadest sense of left leaning peeps.

Actually, I am going to miss George in a funny way and with his "Georgisms" in that a Cicero he wasn't/isn't, but I guess he was sincere in the decisions that he made.

Here are a list of our favourite gaffes by George W Bush. Add your favourites to the feedback panel below

1. "Will the highways on the internet become more few?"

2. "It’s a time of sorrow and sadness when we lose a loss of life"

3. "I appreciate the fact that you really snatched defeat out of the jaws of those who are trying to defeat us in Iraq"

4. "I remember meeting a mother of a child who was abducted by the North Koreans right here in the Oval Office"

5. "We’re concerned about Aids inside our White House – make no mistake about it"

6. "I’m honoured to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein"

7. "I’ve coined new words, like “misunderstanding”

8. "I recently met with the finance minister of the Palestinian Authority, was very impressed by his grasp of finances"

9. "It’s in our country’s interests to find those who would do harm to us and get them out of harm's way"

10. "One year ago today, the time for excuse-making has come to an end"

11. "I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn’t here"

12. "You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test"

13. "I don’t particularly like it when people put words in my mouth, either, by the way, unless I say it

14. "[The Taliban] have no disregard for human life"

15. "When the governor calls, I answer his phone"

16. "Those who enter the country illegally violate the law"

17. "I think we agree, the past is over"

18. "America stands for liberty, for the pursuit of happiness and for the unalienalienable right of life"

19. "My job is a decision-making job, and as a result, I make a lot of decisions"

20. "One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures"

HuffPo is not far left, it's mainstream. So is the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. They are preaching to the choir.

:clap:President Bush was the only world leader who was a true and genuine friend of Israel. He was wrongly accused of not helping the peace process by people who forgot that Hamas made a coup in Gaza. History will prove his worth.

Your post with Bush gaffes have just had me and the mrs rolling about with laughter, we will miss him.

[Aviva]

Actually, I am going to miss George in a funny way and with his "Georgisms" in that a Cicero he wasn't/isn't, but I guess he was sincere in the decisions that he made.

Thanks for the laugh!

But in all seriousness, what was the reason why Bush made these gaffs? I can't believe a man who achieved that level of power can be just plain stupid. So, did he have trouble reading speeches, or remembering them properly? Or could it be a discomfort with public speaking that made him constantly mess up his words?

Many very intelligent people do, dyslexia has two sides; on the one hand it can make a person a very clumsy speaker, on the other it can cause that person to create brilliant and unusual words and phrases.

Just remember what Obama sounds like without teleprompter, or we, ourselves, for that matter.
I wasn't looking for his ability to give smooth speeches, looked for a bit more substance. Agreed, Bush boobooed quite a bit, but let's set the record straight, he kept yours and my be...ds save, esp considering a behind the curtain look.

[Y. Shulamith]

I took a course in Public Speaking 101 and I can say with some experience, that public speaking, oratory skills, and such are almost like being a singer in that, either you have it or you don't.

Public speaking is a difficult skill to sharpen and even more difficult to become really good at.

Thinking on your feet, not reading a speech, using cue cards, making your point, not forgetting what you need to say and not making a fool of yourself is harder than it would seem.

I had to deliver about 5 speeches to the class and it wasn't easy.

One speech was commemorative, one speech was to try to persuade a group, so on and so forth.

Even with that, though, most of the speakers in my class did a better job than George did, in general, throughout his career. Dyslexia causes trouble with reading letters backwards but it shouldn't cause trouble with speaking.

Does anyone know the beautiful music recording at the beginning of Jackie's Vlog? I'd love to get the CD?
thanks.

Mason goes too far. I'd like to agree with him but his obsessive attacks on Democrats is not fair. Democrats both in the House and Senate condemn hamas and openly say that Israel has a right to defend itself.

[Y. Shulamith]

Mason's fearmongering is quite despicable, actually. He's a comic with his own opinions and his own agenda and I'm not sure what his agenda is and I don't care to find out what it is.

Maybe he lost money in Madoff???

"The difference between a freedom fighter and a terrorist is that freedom fighters are fighting for freedom!"
