So last Wednesday in Washington at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Obama\u2019s national security advisor James Jones told a joke.<\/line><BR\/><embed align=\"right\"\/> <\/line><BR\/>JONES: There was a shack in a store, a little store owned by a Jewish merchant, and, uhh, the Taliban warrior went up to him and said, &#8216;I need water. Give me some water,\u2019 and the merchant said, &#8216;I\u2019m sorry, I don\u2019t have any water but would you like to buy a tie. We have a nice sale of ties today.\u2019 <\/line><\/p>\n<p>ANTI-SEMITES: (chuckling)<\/p>\n<p>JONES: &#8216;I\u2019m sorry that I don\u2019t have water for you, and I forgive you for all of the insults that you\u2019ve levied against me, my family, my country, but I will help you out. If you\u2019ll go over that hill and walk about two miles, there\u2019s a restaurant there and they have all the water you\u2019ll need,\u2019 and the Taliban, instead of saying thanks, still muttering under his breath, disappears over the hill; only to come back about an hour later and walking up to the merchant, says, &#8216;Your brother tells me I need a tie to get into the restaurant.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>ANTI-SEMITES: (guffawing)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, now, the crowd laughed, but is there not a stereotypical insult in that joke? Is there not a stereotypical insult in the joke depicting Jews as greedy merchants? It doesn\u2019t matter that it\u2019s the Taliban. It could have been anybody, and that\u2019s Obama\u2019s national security advisor with an anti-Semitic joke, and what will happen here is he\u2019ll get slapped on the wrist for telling a Taliban joke. We can\u2019t tell Taliban jokes! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I have been pointing out that President Obama in his video outreach over the weekend to try to &#8216;reconnect\u2019 with his base to energize them for the 2010 midterm elections in November, reaches out to blacks, Hispanics, African-Americans, and women; but he leaves out whites, white women, older white seasoned citizens, Indians, Asians, a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Gen.
