Senator Al Franken accuses Donald Trump of launching antisemitic TV ad
 
The Democratic senator for Minnesota, Al Franken, has accused Donald Trump of launching an antisemitic TV advertisement along the lines of the fake Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Trump's campaign says Clinton 'hitting the panic button' in blue states

Franken, who is Jewish, said he immediately was struck by what he called “a German shepherd whistle, a dog whistle” in a new two-minute advert from the Trump campaign, launched as the countdown to Tuesday’s election intensifies.

The film features lurid shots of Wall Street and the Federal Reserve interspersed with images of three prominent Jewish people: Janet Yellen, who chairs the Fed, the progressive financier George Soros and the Goldman Sachs chief executive, Lloyd Blankfein.

“The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election,” Trump is heard saying in the advert. “For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interests, they partner with these people that don’t have your good in mind.”

...Al Franken pissed off. This will be interesting.

If I was DT I'd run for the bunker.

<<<doesn't think "DT" will run for any bunker.

1. No doubt about it. He's pandering to the bigots and antisemites in this country.

4. Where is the dog whistle?

5. Showing prominent Jews as part of a shadowy conspiracy?

^^^ Ms Piggy.

6. I probably do not know who is Jewish and who is not. But I accept what you say and
 
I don't put it past the man.

7. Thing is.....his supporters know who is Jewish.

^^^Ms Piggy again.

8. Im sure he wrote that himself. The ability to read words on a script verses writing them...
 
..."ya gotta" admire the mans pentameter.

He's a pitchman... not a leader.

My question would be who wrote the script?

mucifer (11,329 posts)      Sun Nov 6, 2016, 12:59 PM

9. Alt right people wrote the script

Ellipsis (6,881 posts)      Sun Nov 6, 2016, 01:01 PM

11. Okay then... who compiled the thoughts of the alt right?
 
The coagulator of the feces. Who did the ad?

13. That is a powerful ad. Even as a Hillary voter, it is hitting my "Bernie" resonant emotions.
 
For Berners who haven't been awakened to with the importance of tRump's danger, it could hurt us.

10. You know the saying about people who don't learn from history being doomed to repeat it, but...
 
I am fully convinced there are some people who have absolutely made it their goal to revive that whole 'master race' nightmare.

And as in the past, if you take a look at the people who are leading this movement, their own genetic material seems to fall far short of their ideal. I won't even go into what I think of the followers.

12. I'm not sure which is worse; Trump actually believing this or
 
him just using antisemitism as a dogwhistle.

His son-in-law, one of the top guys in Trump's campaign, is from a prominent Jewish family. Ivanka had to convert before the his family would allow the marriage.

17. Simplest hypothesis often best. In these cases: tRump clueless & doesn't hear dog whistles he makes
 
... or his alt-right staff makes (Bannon & Bossie).

15. The irony of that ad is that it is the Trump campaign that is involved in conspiracy...
 
With Putin, Wikileaks, and rogue FBI agents.

Trump always accuses Hillary of his own misdeeds.

18. This campaign has set records for irony
 
Melania lecturing on rudeness, working illegally . .

Everything Trump says, "I respect women"

Thing is I think they believe it when they say it.

19. you are darned right it is a dog whistle, and it isn't that subtle

21. Thanks and profound gratitude to Senator Franken for this.
 
I hope I get to vote for him for president, some day.

22. We all knew the Drumpfengruppenfuhrer would do that.

^^^not the brightest primitive on Skins's island.

23. I would not put it past him.
 
He has been hated by Jewish New York for ages. They are superior to him and he resents it.

I'm curious, why is it that only Libs & Progs can hear Rs' and conservatives' "dogwhistles"? Could it be that it has to do with the rectal depths from which Libs & Progs pull the "dogwhistles"?

[USA4ME]

“The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election,” Trump is heard saying in the advert. “For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interests, they partner with these people that don’t have your good in mind.”

One of the main foundations of the primitives beliefs over the years is that "the powers that be" are just in it for the money/power and don't care about the common person. The whole Occupy Wall Street movement was build around that premise.

But since Hillary takes money from big Wall Street firms, now the primitives are fine with that. Now that Hillary is OK with free trade agreements the primitives have switched and they're OK with them, too.

My, but I do wish they would take a position on the issues and stick with them.

I have to mention that this thread from Skins's island is the result of my having read another thread on Manny's message board.

The thread on Manny's message board was mocking Skins' primitives for being anti-anti-Semitic, which of course Manny's primitives and we and the whole world know Skins' primitives aren't.

I'd planned to post this, and then follow up with posting the thread from Manny's message board.

But alas while I was copying-and-pasting this one, some censor on Manny's message board deleted their thread.  I dunno why; I thought it was a pretty good thread.

<<<and wasn't aware Manny's message board deletes threads; had assumed they were above that.

<<<greatly disappointed in Manny's message board now.

[franksolich]

Question.

This is not the first time such has happened to me, where I planned to post threads in tandem, but while copying-and-pasting one, the other place deletes the second one.

Is there a way to temporarily "save" entire threads until one can post them?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Meanwhile, DUmmies conveniently ignore their open, blatant & outright disgust for Jews.  Hypocrites, as usual.

[Carl]

This is how desperate they are.

"The film features lurid shots of Wall Street and the Federal Reserve interspersed with images of three prominent Jewish people: Janet Yellen, who chairs the Fed, the progressive financier George Soros and the Goldman Sachs chief executive, Lloyd Blankfein"

I'd say George Soros is no longer worthy to be associated with the Jewish people, largely for two reasons:
1. He sold out and betrayed his own people to the Nazis during the Holocaust.
2. He is an Atheist who advocates for many things that American Jews tend to oppose, such as gay marriage and drug legalization.

[SVPete]

There's a lot of adjectives - almost all printable - I'd go through with reference to Soros before I'd remember that his ancestry is Jewish. One of the adjectives that comes to my mind before "Jewish" is "Hungarian". Another is "convicted criminal" - a French insider trading conviction.

I was not aware that Yellen is Jewish - religion or ancestry.

I've never heard of Lloyd Blankfein. If I had and were to speculate as to his ancestry based on his family name, my guess would be Jewish. But I don't attach any more racial-moral significance to a Jewish person working in the banking industry than I do to a Japanese, Taiwan-Chinese, mainland-Chinese, or Indian working in Tech.

Progs are in a position of, "I've got nothing," when it comes to The SHREW's ties to their Wall Street bogeyman, so they have to fabricate some sort of imaginary Race Card to deflect. One need not be a professional poker player to recognize their desperation over having an empty hand.
