Mere Rhetoric decided to see what was going on in the loony bin and found Roseanne Barr saying something that surprises, well, absolutely no one that’s followed Barr’s moonbattery. Here’s what the noted theologian says about the Israeli state:
I said Israel will attack any boat carrying doctors and medical supplies–they have turned away the red cross already and all medical and food assistance. Israel is a NAZI state. The Jewish Soul is being tortured in Israel. The destruction of the jews in Israel has been assured with this inhuman attack on civilians in gaza. Hamas is the street gangs—this is equivilent to los angeles attacking and launching war on the people of watts to attempt to kill the bloods and the crips.
How many street gangs break a ceasefire by launching a constant barrage of rockets (not that Hamas didn’t do that during the supposed ceasefire) into another country, terrorizing and killing its residents? As for the attack on a boat, I assume she’s talking about the Israeli Navy’s ramming of the yacht Cynthia McKinney was trying to use to deliver supplies to the terrorists.
Barr is, of course, a nitwit. But not the biggest one on the left. At least she doesn’t try to canonize the officially-designated terrorist group. Lorelei Kelly of the Huffington Post holds that title, comparing Israel’s offensive against Hamas to the U.S. military attacking…the Salvation Army. Oy vey.
