The thing is, this makes even less sense than the "LJ are owned by JEWS?!?!" comments a while back, as at least the person was making a point (no matter how stupid or bigoted it was).
This one is comes across as equivalent to the schoolyard "You're a gaylord!!!" type comment. Not only is it pointless, bigoted, and factually inaccurate, but it just has no logical connection to the article.
Unfortunately I think this is the bit that upsets me the most... If your going to be a twat, at least be a literate twat.
I know. But my head needs semblance of logic! Even the fundamentalist religious types with the screaming homophobia. At least I understand how they reached their conclusions, and have a basis for understanding what they are saying. Hell, if this had some context I might at least be able to slot the comment into a category of idiocy that I understand.
But I get the impression that the "writer" assumes that the context of his post is enough. It is a division that I've noticed within these sort of comments. At least when someone is being anti-gay they tend to include a context "this person is corrupting the moral fabric of my country and I don't want him turning my son into no faggot!" Apparently "But he's a Jew" is all the context we need, possibly because /everyone/ knows that this means he's going to immediately pass baby eating laws...
"But he's a Jew" Not even a decent bit of out'n'out antisemitic slurs. Just "But he's a Jew".
Like a said, I'm somewhat used to stupid angry mis-directed twats, but just the sheer lack of context or, well, anything really.
Possibly the writer was just baffled that nobody had noticed (what with Obama not actually being Jewish...).
As I mentioned earlier, there was just no semblance of logical progression, even the twisty loopy kind that you'd normally expect from this kind of comment.
