The Freeper PC Police

Obama's National Security Adviser General Jones was giving a speech at the Washington Institute For Near East Policy and told an unfunny warmup joke:

A Taliban militant gets lost and is wandering around the desert looking for water. He finally arrives at a store run by a Jew and asks for water. The Jewish vendor tells him he doesn’t have any water but can gladly sell him a tie. The Taliban, the jokes goes on, begins to curse and yell at the Jewish storeowner. The Jew, unmoved, offers the rude militant an idea: Beyond the hill, there is a restaurant; they can sell you water. The Taliban keeps cursing and finally leaves toward the hill. An hour later he’s back at the tie store. He walks in and tells the merchant: “Your brother tells me I need a tie to get into the restaurant.”

Freepers, never ones to avoid the very Political Correctness they rail against, have decided the above joke is an OUTRAGE:

Yehuda thinks making fun of bad people should never be allowed:

Thank you, General Jones, whose fine military career will now be doubly asterisked, first as a moron who licks Ø's rear end, and then as a SCHMUCK who BADLY tells STUPID Jokes about Jews "cheating" a FREAKING TALIBAN.

Hey, General Jones, HERE'S YOUR PITIABLE TALIBAN, shooting a woman in the back of the head. Have any good jokes for that?

Arthur Wildfire! March goes straight to Hitler:

“Jews are just greedy merchants”

That’s what Hitler said too.

TalBlack posts the cryptic:

.....And so it begins....

I guess rounding up the Jews is next?

Eva thinks the joke is about Jews. She also analyzes the humor to death:

If you are Jewish, you are entitled to chuckle at the joke. It is the place and the audience to which the joke was told that is not funny.

Let’s imagine that the Obama official went to a Jewish gathering and told a joke about Muslims.

bronxville doesn't much care about ethics, he embraces Alinsky:

We all used to have a good time laughing and joking with each other but...no more. The leftist ploy, Political Correctness, has stopped it all.

Now we’re just playing payback. Anything they say that’s even slightly derogatory will get bounced right back at them. It’s playing the Alinsky game. :)

I always find the Alinsky thing funny. Freepers rail at the immorality of the left's supposed tactics, and cannot wait to embrace them themselves. Political Correctness, the race card, protests. If it weren't for wrath, I'd say envy was their sin.

Badray sums it all up:

The trouble with liberals is that they do not get humor. I hope that we never become like them.
