That's a pretty good response imo. "Yes antisemitism is real but these people are still poo poo" Also anyone here who thinks that Benjamin's is actually referring to the Israeli PM has a great future in the Q conspiracy. Maybe start counting up the letters in her tweets to find when Trump will be assassinated

Young Freud posted:Welcome to Drudge Report, which hasn't had a layout change since the '90s. Drudge is getting desperate. Other fake right-wing news sites like Breitbart and InfoWars are eclipsing him in terms of clicks and attention, so he's doing poo poo like this to remain relevant. I guess it was naive of me to think Omar wouldn't apologize--I think Pelosi threatened her with her committee assignments if she didn't--but I'm glad that she's sticking by her original point at least.

Seeing lots of folks saying RIP when she like... Reaffirms and rewords her original point, and removes the ammunition that the GOP had on her. Like I don't think following the CYA method is a baaaaad thing to do when it comes to politics?

Critical posted:Omar obv should have referenced The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase's theme song instead and we wouldn't be in this sticky wicket. No apparently everyone out there is just supposed to be well versed in P Diddy's discography so they don't take an ambiguous comment the other way even temporarily. Bunch of morons.  Cerebral Bore posted:Buddy, I'm a pasty-rear end white dude who's not even from the US, and even I know that "Benjamins" refers to $100 bills. Have you been living under a rock or something? I'm not American. I didn't grow up with Benjamin Franklin or Abraham Lincoln as a common face associated dollar bills, but Queen Elizabeth II. It takes a while longer to make that association than it does the other one. Remember though it's not the realization of where the error was that counts, but that you made the error in the first place. In all seriousness imagine how long it's going to take other people though if they're even willing to admit at all that they read a comment in a way in which it was never intended. Like the hardest poo poo in the world for partisan hack types in particular.

gently caress all these centrist lickspittles. I called my rep (MI-9/Rep Andy Levin) and demanded that he support his colleague against this slander. Called it a travesty, didn't swear once. I deserve a goddamned medal for that last part.

She needed to say something to affirm that she wasn't anti-semitic without retracting her point. Obviously her bad-faith critics won't give a poo poo, but I'm not sure that bluntly refusing to apologize would have been good for her either.

Dear Old People, what anti-Semitic tropes are even being referenced here? Criticizing Israel for bribing politicians? Is it also racist to report being robbed by a black guy? I 100% understand what's happening here and I still don't get it. If I had a Democratic congressperson I'd be writing a letter right now.

While she should have not have had to apologize, any other politician would not have put in that final paragraph. That is a great way to end it
