Sarah Silverman: 'If Obama loses, blame the Jews.'

By Barry Garron

Sarahsilverman_2 It's hardly a surprise to find that Sarah Silverman, like much of Hollywood, hopes that Barack Obama is elected president in November. Or, for that matter, that she has produced a video on behalf of Obama's campaign.

The video, largely in jest but not without a grain of truth, suggests that, if Obama loses, Jews may need to accept responsibility for the defeat.

Here's Silverman's explanation: If Obama wins Florida, he is sure to win the election. The only thing keeping Obama from a win in the Sunshine State is elderly Jews who are skeptical about his candidacy. So if the children and grandchildren of these Jews can just get through to these seniors, Obama will be unstoppable.

Has Silverman correctly identified the linchpin to this election? Well, there is some logic to her argument, but whether the decision over who gets to be president ultimate belongs to Jewish seniors remains to be seen.

Obama…? He’s pretty much the guy BEST suited to handle affairs for American’s that don’t MAKE money. He’s the lawyer that every great person want’s to be. He’s passionate and driven.

I see this for WHAT American’s really want. We want jobs. Naturally we would like that… ONE would support an entire family. That our jobs are a bit easier, an as stress free as possible.

We also want identity. Healthcare that doesn’t cost 10’s of thousands of dollars to have a few teeth replaced. Or hip replaced, or nose job, or allergies treated; or any of the above.

We also want that inner city people aren’t as overcome by adversity, that they have more positive avenues, more choices.

But the truth is… everyone needs more choices. Even the people with no problems; that live in the middle of no-where.

People have a more serious set of medical problems too. Sickness, disease. Genetic traits.

I think Obama is the guy we should TRY. Cause that’s all we do anyway. HOWEVER; it is completely unsettling that… no matter who ends up in there. No one really believes or has faith in AMERICA. It’s almost like we have to be at war for this to work.

The UN. No one believes in the UN either, and that should be the next important thing for ALL people’s of the EARTH.

Thing’s that upset people. Having their live uprooted by opposite thinking individuals. Sometimes this IS violent. But most of the times it has to do with people’s abilities to cope and how to use their skill sets positively. THESE ARE ADVERSE EFFECTS AND EFFECTIVENESS, levels you might even call them.

Affecting ALL.

I think that we would all want to go anywhere on the earth, be able to cure the worst injuries, and know that our future generations have piece of mind. That the system’s in effect are good ones and that they will last MANY generations.

Why does the one person choose the micro scope, and another choose the telescope and another chooses to see?

I think that the scariest part is… It might be working already.

But when I can hurl hurricane’s and electrify your ass with lightening… that’s going to be the shit.

All I’m saying is… we’ve been lied to. A LOT! And my problem stems with some of the elders. It stems with some of the leaders and the ideology of what we consider to be MAN or maybe what we consider to be right.

And we all have these specifically different traits and talents to utilize. We all branch off into multiple groups interested in similar things that are multiplying.

We are living longer. And we still have the same amount of space.

I think gays and lesbians are a form of SLOWING the process. That mom’s and dad’s getting fixed is a form of reducing.

But… I’m also scary as shit when I’m angry.

Anyway… happy voting.

-Peace

"But… I’m also scary as shit when I’m angry."

Not to mention boring and uninformed ALL the time?

"Boring and uninformed"? Hey, anonymous! How did Sarah Palin get into this conversation?

If Palin articulates her argument with the same self-assurance and command of the language as Peace, Thursday night will be even better than vintage "Hee-Haw".

how can she support a man that will not reveal his birth certificate, who worked for acorn (the organization that started the whole wall street crash with their loans to people that knownly could not pay them), is associated with the main three Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac head guys, that did seminars with a known terroist, spent 20 years in a church with a pastor who hates America, is a man that will not put his hand on his heart for the National Anthem or wear a flag lapel pin, and will move out of Iraq, give it to Iran and kiss Israel good bye. You are a Jew by birth only.

I'd love to know what Ms. Silverman has to say about the LA Times and their tape of Mr. Obama toasting a known Jew hater and PLO terrorist...
