Can You Handle The Truth?
Via Digby a nice little Max Blumenthal video of Israeli-Americans in Jerusalem giving their viewpoint on the American President and his Middle East policy. The video is NSFW, so turn down the volume before you start it.
Compare the contents of this video with the comment of Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks, and the reaction to her remarks. These are American citizens, most if not all who have dual citizenship in Israel. I guess if you are a Republican or an Israeli-American the concept of not criticizing the President when he is abroad isn’t applicable.

Waiting for the tighty righties to call Max Blumenthal a self-hating Jew. 5… 4… 3… 2…

And some people wonder why I’m not a supporter of the Likud.
I’m still looking for some basis for all of the claims about guns. Every time anyone mentions guns in Washington, I know I’m in for harangues locally, so I follow gun legislation, and there isn’t any at the Federal level.
Yeah, I mentioned to that to one of the tighty righties who was ranting about guns. He stopped talking for about ten seconds, wrinkled his sloped brow, then said “Well, but Obama is a liberal, so he *will* propose gun laws, so there!” I.e., facts don’t matter, just their wishful thinking and preconceptions. Sigh!

They didn’t seem to notice that during the six years that the Republicans controlled the whole shooting match, none of their pet peeves was dealt with by laws. The Hedgemony was openly infringing on the Bill of Rights, and you didn’t hear a peep out of them, but elect a few Democrats and they are “under assault”.
