Jordan should be in jail or at least out of office in disgrace.


However using the dollar sign merely indicates that the person in question cares only about money. I have mostly seen it used in the name Microsoft to ridicule various unpopular decisions they have made or their monopoly accusations back in the day.

Yeah, fans on message boards regularly type "O$U" when referring to Ohio State ... I really don't think they're insinuating it's a college run by Jews, lol.  A $ sign doesn't make something antisemitic.

Seems like a trope to me.

 The backtracking, obfuscating, and benefit of the doubt giving is amazing.

Weird how this isn’t a 10 page thread already, isn’t it?

Or about this:

I mean, obviously Kevin McCarthy's full of [Inks], but what's your point?  I mean, this kinda reads like standard issue whataboutery.

Sure, I guess it is.  My point is that Jordan and McCarthy are getting a minuscule fraction of the attention that a Muslim congresswoman has been getting, for doing essentially the exact same thing she did.  (Which, FTR, I don’t believe is deliberate antisemitism coming from any of them.)

Yes, but we should be condemning both, not giving Omar or McCarthy a pass.  I don't think Jordan was Jew-baiting tbh.  And the other thing with Omar is that she has gone out of her way to make Jew-baiting her brand.

 It's not whataboutery, it's actually more dangerous what the conservatives are doing because their base and audience kill Jews. It's like that week where the crazy gunman went into the Pittsburgh synagogue and killed those people, he was a rightwing killer. But the media spent the weeks after talking about Louis Farrakhan. Hateful rhetoric should be called out but not used to deflect from worse rhetoric and rhetoric that inspires heinous action. The killer was parroting stuff right out of Donald Trump's mouth about invading hoards and elites and globalist.

Pretty sure almost no one was talking about Farrakhan that week.
