I’ve watched this a second time to try to verify what I thought I saw the first time. It’s quite unbelievable:
Egyptians are so infused with Jew hatred that Arab women and men alike pretending to be Jews on Arab Candid Camera don’t mind being cold-cocked and choked by Arabs who believe they’re Jews. It’s all laughs and applause after the violence.
Unbelievable doesn’t begin to describe this video.
I’m stunned. I have lived all over the world and intellectually I know the hatred that is routinely expressed toward Israel and America.
But to see it so violently demonstrated on TV is just something else.
And what kind of sick TV station puts on a stunt like this?
And now, tune in for “Egypt’s Funniest Racist Videos” where Mahmoud slaps around the filthy Jews and denies the so-called ‘Holocaust’!
I guess this is what passes for “family hour” in Egypt…
Are you Egyptian or what, Allen Funt??!!
What was totally riotously funny was he blamed her for him striking her and then says “but why did you fall so easily?” and then wants to put some sort of lotion on her back. That last is a total riot because the muttawan will whip her for being with a man not her husband, then some imam will come along and charge her with adultery, and then she will be stoned to death.
What a comedy! What a people! What love! What hatred!
Sick bastards.
Hey, she brought it on herself. Look how she’s dressed!
Puuuurrrr old Greg was in HIGHEST snit about the LIES (he tells ya) being purveyed by the wing-nuts.
Which is nothing more than a great gauge for how badly Bad Luck Barry pooed the scruch by letting his true views out in the open.
Everybody…and I mean EVERYbody…understands that you can put up the entire quote, and…if anything…it gets WORSE.
Then Helpful Lizzy helped out by nailing it down. Speaking. Very. Emphatically.
Collectivists HATE it when they screw up and gave away the scam!!!
Reading over at the JustOneMinute blog, I see that Jake Tapper is also pushing the “context” line.
One of the JOM commenters has posted the relevant paragraphs, see for yourself if it is out of context:
There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

OK. That tears it.
It is SOOOOOOO bad, Obama has rewritten it and tried to cover over the first run.
No spit!
Your link quotes Obama’s latest effort to walk back his mega-gaffe:
I have given Barry a little editorial help.
(Btw, in a country with a highly graduated tax system, government receipts will be maximized when income is concentrated in high earners. IMO both parties in our fiscally voracious government are fully aware of this.)
Muslim men never hit women. Except when those women forget their place:
Husbands should take full care of their wives, with [the bounties] God has given to some more than others and with what they spend out of their own money. Righteous wives are devout and guard what God would have them guard in the husbands’ absence. If you fear high-handedness from your wives, remind them [of the teaching of God], then ignore them when you go to bed, then hit them. If they obey you, you have no right to act against them. God is most high and great. Koran, 4:34
And once that dude found out the Israeli thing was just a gag and the host was not Israeli, he offered to rub her back and put ointment on it.
“God has given to some more than others and with what they spend out of their own money.”
A more… open, shall we say, translation would go along the lines of “because men are stronger and they spend their money supporting their women”.
Kind of the same as how all those lines saying explicitly, “murder the unbeliever” get turned into the much more ambiguous “fight the unbeliever”.
People like to argue you can’t understand the Koran if you don’t read it in Arabic, and other such rot. 1- It’s even uglier in Arabic – regardless of being in poetic verse. 2- Muhammad’s actions, and those of his orthodox followers (those who actually heed his rantings and seek to follow his true “perfected” example), speak louder than words:

All I gotta say is “muttawan” and “Taliban.”
That Jimmy Carter “Miss Me Yet” billboard near Dibol, TX says a lot more than just that billboard. This is on US59, deep in the heart of east Texas, which for over 150-years was pure yeller dog Dim’crat country. These were the people who adored Charlie Wilson and most assuredly supported Jimmy Carter.
The type of sentiment expressed on that billboard is real and heartfelt to these folks. People up in east Texas are lumber, oil and agriculture folks, and they’re as real as they come. Some would suggest that it’s a race thing against Obama, especially around nasty lil’ ol’ Dibol, but that’s both unfair and a gross oversimplification.
The Democratic Party of Charlie Wilson, Barbara Jordan and Wright Patman is dead, replaced with anti-American, anti-Christian, pro-abortion leftists. If you don’t believe me, drive through east Texas sometime. Stop in at the little family-owned cafes and ice houses along 59; don’t overdress or talk down. Slow down, order what’s good on y’alls menu, and spend some time visiting. They’ll tell ya what they think.
If you do have an occasion to drive up or down ‘fifty-nine,’ obey the speed limit and watch for sudden changes to speed limit signs as you near the towns, because highway fi’ty-nine has more designed speed traps than any other stretch of road in America.
[I’ve been known to take I-10 Houston to to Baton Rogue and hit I-55 to Memphis to avoid 59!]
Big mistake, TJS. You’ll miss the fresh yard eggs if you take I-10.
Your post sure brought back memories. I worked for an airline in Longview and then moved to Houston to work for another one. Put in a fair amount of time on that road.
Got stopped on 59 once, driving a four-cylinder Chrysler convertible…a true dog. When the trooper pulled me over I jumped out of the car, ran up to him and asked, “Do you have any idea how long it has taken me to get this car up to a speed where it would break the limit?!” He laughed, but I still got the ticket.
You know what fries me? They’ve logged off almost all the Big Thicket and left a narrow strip of trees near the road to cover the devastation. Yes, we need wood but do we need to clear-cut hundreds of acres to get it?
The world appears to be going nuts, bit by bit. I’m hiding out on the river. Let it go nuts without me.
Glory, Creeper, some of the crap you believe…!!!
East Texas is one big tree farm! “Left a narrow strip…” my ass!
Can’t let that “hope springs eternal” bit pass uncommented upon. When it comes to the CA official GOP I think a better quote would be “there’s one born every minute”.
Get back to Fast and Furious, Solyndra and the other scandals. These are national in scope. Yes it is important to “beat the drums” on Warren, but in the end, she is local.
Oh those wacky Egyptians! They’re so nutty with their antics! You mean they tricked their guests into thinking they were on an Israeli station? You never know how someone who follows the “religion of peace” is going to react these days, now do you? Har har!
