Tarantino Shows Badass Jewery In 'Basterds'
Tarantino is known for his badass conscious-lacking or alternative-morals borderline-insane-yet-shockingly-relateable characters. Which is why I was so pleased to see him portraying Jewish Revolt in the face of the greatest genocide since – well – the last anti-Jewish genocide.
As TheAtlantic.com points out very insightfully, NO JEW could have possibly portrayed the Jewish community during the Holocaust as Tarantino has. It’s too sad a topic – and ’sinister’ is not exactly the emotion that springs to mind when a Jew thinks about Nazi Germany – unless they’re thinking about the Germans.
Tarantino, however, has been able to take the Jewish perspective of the Holocaust – and turn it completely badass! Jews running around killing ‘Naazis” (my impression of Brad Pitt’s southern accent in the film) with absolutely no regard or consideration for the Nazi’s humanity (justifiably so!), is absolutely beautiful. Watching an “Ubermentsch” on his knees getting slugged full-force in the head like a tee-ball is exactly what any Jew needs to really visually express what we’ve been feeling for years.

Jews Criticize Limbaugh
I was shocked and appalled when I read on JTA. Are you saying that the Jewish community – the hard-lined Republican vote – has criticized the leader of the Republican party? Wait … in 2009 the Jewish vote was split down the middle – and Limbaugh is nothing but a radio personality. So what’s the big deal?
Okay, Limbaugh compared Obama’s Healthcare logo to the Nazi Party symbol. That’s pretty bad. Then again, what’s left for him to say? He’s a shock-jock. He’s no more prolific or significant than Howard Stern. No offense, Howard.
The American Jewish Congress, along with the Anti Defamation League condemned Rush’s words, saying that “they reflect a nasty and hyperbolic tendency in our political culture, one which makes reasoned discourse impossible, confuses disagreement with evil, and which makes it impossible to distinguish evil from ordinary politics.” Well put, AJC! That, and Rush is a douche.
