Newsflash, that is an article from The Onion.

Haha, makes me cry, cuz they got me.

It's funny how nobody seems to actually know where that phrase came from.

Hint, the face of what person is printed on American $100 bills.

Duh! That is why it is so offensive.

Yes. I'm sure that his descendants are thoroughly offended by the phrase.

The line itself is from the movie Dead Presidents

I'd heard/seen the phrase (and variations on) long before that. btw, A movie I remember really enjoying when it was released. Good cast and script with great direction.

Being deliberately obtuse now, huh? Obviously you can understand why it is offensive.

Well, there are 3 options:

1. You dont read the news and dont know the context of her remarks.
2. You are too stupid to figure it out

or
3. Like I said you are being deliberately obtuse.

Take your pick. Or actually it could be a combination of two or even all 3.

It sounds like you guys are talking past each other. You want to focus on the supposed anti-Semitism implied, right? What do you think about the recent incident with the questioner who said Trump was doing "mentally retarded" things? People got butt hurt over it "hurting" the disability community, but what else could have been said that would make it better? Idiot? Intellectually challenged? Moron? Or does it always have to hide in secrecy in the mind?

Are you having fun yet?

I'd like to hear your reason(s) why you believe that phrase is offensive.

Is that t shirt offensive to you?

And yes, I do know the context of her remarks wherein she was accusing various American politicians of being for sale to lobbying groups because various American politicians are apparently for sale (and pretty cheap it often seems). But that has nothing to do with the phrase itself does it.

Or, perhaps you don't actually think that the phrase itself is offensive but who used it and how you perceive that she used it.

Again, feel free to enlighten me.

The phrase is NOT offensive in any way,,,unless your poor and have no Bemjamins Baby!!
Just because Rep. Omar used the phrase all the Republicans are getting butt hurt!! hahahahaaaa

 

[WelshBloke]

I'm out of the loop here. Since when was the phrase "All about the Benjamins" offensive. I mean it wasnt a great film and the song is a bit shit but offensive?
It's always just meant "all about the money" hasn't it?

I'm afraid she wasn't just accusing "various politicians of being for sale to lobbying groups," as if she were merely making a generic remark about problems with lobbyists. So no, you don't really get the context at all, or you're pretending not to. I've explained it many times before. Example:

Jews controlling the government, the media, financial markets, etc. with their money. Check. Jews and their useful idiot companions, who are mostly under thrall of the aforementioned Jewish money, having divided loyalties. Check. Prior to 1948, the loyalty went to a shadowy international Jewish conspiracy. After 1948, it became the State of Israel. The Nazis accused Jews of having divided loyalties and of corrupting German gentiles with their money. These anti-semitic tropes go back literally over 1,000 years in Europe.

I'm sure your next comment will be something like, "b-but, she didn't say Jews!" I find it funny how liberals are so interested in everyone understanding the history of things like blackface, and giving great deference to African-Americans when they complain of racist tropes being used, if only out of ignorance in some cases. But when it comes to anti-Semitism, the left's got nothing. Apparently, it's only possible to "dog whistle" certain types of bigotry but not others. I find that very convenient.

We're talking about lobbying, not some crass generalization about Jewish people. Why can't she be specific if she's talking about the subject of US pols and Israel?

Jews and their useful idiot companions, who are mostly under thrall of the aforementioned Jewish money, having divided loyalties. Check.

“to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.”

This? It seems rather innocuous to me. Most of the pols care more about money and power, even if it means siding with adversaries like Russia. It's literally the whole Republican party.

 

[Meghan54]

Yea, saying "it is all about the Benjamins" is really an appropriate way to say it, huh?

What else would you say when it's all about Israel's billions and billions of dollars in U.S. foreign aid and their relentless lobbying to make sure the money train doesn't stop?

I prefer the tech version of the song anyway. Wonder who that offends..

Robots?

Seeing as how you seem to have both sides of this conversation under control I'll just leave you to finish it and maybe you can let the rest of us know what the outcome was when you're done.

 

[JEDIYoda]

If it was anybody other than Omar nothing would have been said and this would not have been an issue!! Get over it buttercup!!
There are more important issues to deal with -- such as Gun Control....just to name one...or perhaps the vaping epidemic.....

 

[senseamp]

Now that we know that Trump was inviting the Taliban to Camp David, it puts this thread into some perspective.

We need to do more to stomp out domestic terror, regardless of which group wants to spread terror, regardless of ideology. Looks like we have found a good place to start. Go figure, this anti-American congress woman's district is a hotbed of terror recruitment. So far there are rumors with supporting evidence that she married her brother, she was seeing someone outside her marriage (which I don't even care, that'd be her business, but for someone to do that and then preach to me how I need to be a better American is laughable), and her district sprouts wannabe terrorists. I'm sure she'll just blame racism and call it a day.

Day late and a dollar short again Mr. Ministry of Truth?
