re: #603 theEbolafishlives

Actually, going through the vile comments really shows how little so many Israelis understand US politics; among the things they believe (along with how Obama really is a Kenyan Muslim extremist out to destroy the West to the point that makes RWNJs seem tame) is the notion that the defeat means Obama is somehow supposed to abandon the White House as if he lost a Presidential election, or not be allowed to do anything until 2016.

What’s bad is the level of toxic hate I see there and the self-supporting reinforcement it gets, and unlike here where it’s limited to one side of the political debate, it’s disturbingly common, along with the notion that everything bad that’s happened to Israel since 2008 is all Obama’s fault…
