Savage Joins Hanukkah Party Crticis

I already opined against too much complaining about Obama's Hanukkah party. Now, Yechezkel Gordon is reporting that Michael Savage joined the chorus. He found another point to take issue with. When finishing his remarks, the President joked "We can't wait to give you a hug and a kiss and wish you a happy holiday. The guys with whiskers, I won't give you a kiss." Savage apparently lacks a sense of humor, and ranted, “Why wouldn’t he ever say that to the guys with whiskers who practice Islam... But with Jews it’s two weeks early, we’ll light all the candles (and) we’ll joke about you guys with beards...”

Then, Savage turned his rage on the bearded Rabbis, asking: "Don’t they understand that Obama is the most anti-Israel President in history? So who are these quisling Rabbis who were there with the black coats? Which sect of Hasidim was there? Is there a Hasidic Jew listening? Which sect of Hasidim went there as quislings to sell Israel down the river? Anyone know? I don’t know who the guys with the whiskers were. Was it the Satmars, was it the Lubavitch, was it another group I never heard of?”

Rush Limbaugh also professed concern about Obama's early Hanukkah. What's interesting is how Savage’s rant quickly turned into an anti-Jewish rant.

And great news for Savage: One guy with the whisker publicly lauded Obama's sensitivity to his religion; Satmars probably didn't attend the ceremony; And One of the most influential Pro-Israel right wing voices in the US, Malocolm Honlein, did, as had the leaders of AIPAC.

Savage: We can't tell you not to rant on us, but don't pretend to advocate for us!
