I think Glenn Reynolds has finally snapped: Obama "possibly hates Jews."

The passage of the health care bill and the subsequent humiliation/defeat of the Teabaggers has just been too much for him.

Unhinged.

WHY HAS BARACK OBAMA TREATED NETANYAHU SO RUDELY? “Obama would never treat the president of Equatorial Guinea that way.”

Possibly Obama just hates Israel and hates Jews. That’s plausible — certainly nothing in his actions suggests otherwise, really.

Yes, all policy disputes with Israel's current government makes you a Jew-hater. I guess that means American Jews are mostly idiots or self-hating, since they overwhelmingly voted for Obama in 2008, and will no doubt do so again in 2012.

Greenwald, another Jew-hater, has a good response.

Knapp:
Honestly, I don’t know why certain segments of the right believe that supporting anything but the most pro-hardline Likud foreign policy is somehow “anti-Israel” or even “anti-Semitic”, but there it is.
It's just what they do, Alex.

Last week, Glenn Reynolds gave a lecture at the Howard Baker Center on political civility. According to the student newspaper Reynolds pontificated about the “need to find a balance of disagreement and argument while not crossing the line of pure nastiness. . .”

Imagine my surprise to see Reynolds speculating that, “Possibly Obama just hates Israel and hates Jews. That’s plausible — certainly nothing in his actions suggests otherwise, really.” Obama’s crime is that he supposedly neglected to have a photo-op with Bibi Netanyahu, or something like that. I’m not sure what to say in response to that other than to note that Reynolds is apparently insane, which is to say that he is a rightwinger in the age of Obama.

Yes, The American Conservative just called Putz "insane." Way to go, Putz!
