PROFESSOR WILLIAM JACOBSON OF CORNELL HAS VARIOUS IMPORTANT THOUGHTS ABOUT THE ‘HEIL HITLER’ VIDEO: The masterful Ivy League (well, Cornell) law professor behind Dijongate thinks that maybe today’s Jews give each other Hitler salutes as a sort of… ironic greeting? You know, like the Africans do, with their word! “Was the statement made, and who are these two people? Was it real or staged? Assuming this was not a set-up, why could an obvious supporter of Israel make such a statement; was it anti-Semitism, or just wrong-headed, like when blacks call other blacks the n-word?” [Legal Insurrection]

Somehow her vitriolic pan seems to belie any characterization of her remarks as insider, clan argot.
I knew it was a librul plot. They’ll stoop to nothing! Thanks, Perfesser Jacobson of Cornell, for explaining this complex thing, which we who are not perfessors in frozen-ass Ithaca, would never, ever be able to understand.
Then why not use the more appropriate “Hey Jew-boy!”
It’s true! Thank god for white protestant men like ol’ Doc Willy who know how us minorities should comport ourselves! Thanks, Doc!
I made a very, very big mistake and read that quote from the great Professor. Could a kind Wonketteer please come to my office and scrape my brains, which spontaneously erupted from my head, off of my office walls? I imagine the bosslady wouldn’t be too pleased with this mess.
“…[W]hy could an obvious supporter of Israel make such a statement; was it anti-Semitism, or just wrong-headed, like when blacks call other blacks the n-word?”
Possibly because she’s just a bitch?
[re=390597]V572625694[/re]: And I would have gotten away with it, too…
Does Ivy League (well, Cornell) professor William Jacobson end his piece with a high pitched “WHAAAAH?” Cause, really, any and all exchanges concluded by right wingers needs to end this way.
She was obviously mocking Blum as a traitor to his race. She was saying, in effect, if you support health reform, you are also supporting Hitler. Makes perfect sense, does it not?
I thought the “she’s an idiot” explanation worked. But then again I thought Jacobson would’ve reached that conclusion based on the it-takes-one-to-know-one rule, but that didn’t pan out, either.
someone is missing his dijongate fame..
I like when she fake cries.
Ah, I’m glad the pointy-headed professor had a chance to weigh in. Whew! And here I thought she was just a stupid twat. You could really tell from the Israeli dude’s reaction that he was just faking.
Fucktards everywhere.
Or the woman is batshit crazy and believes the GOP line about Obama being Hitler. Seriously, how are these assholes getting away with this? Or is this all just a plot to get liberals to actually give a shit about things, by calling them Nazi Communist Fascist Muslins all the time? Because I am getting pissed and actually thought about wearing a gun and an obama t-shirt to a town hall. But then I realized that was a stupid idea, for me. But I will support anyone else who does it, and give them five bucks.
Then again, it is a proven fact that democrats who go to political events and make political statements get fucking arrested, duh.
Cornell isn’t really an Ivy school — it’s some sort of agricultural extension college, but we let them play football just to be nice. Just sayin’
He watched the video many times and did not ONCE hear “heil Hitler” over the fap-fap-fap of joy he experienced in finding his NEW GIRLFRIEND!
Prof. Jacobson,
You sir, are a retard.
Hey, the ironic high-five among heebs was MY idea. Fuck off, perfesser.
puts the tard in mustard
what planet does he live on?
They do a really fancy a capella version of Deutschland über Alles.
“Hitler, please.”
Really, he’s going to Zapruder the video? Really?
He is, however, onto something. I can’t tell you how many times my friends and I greet each other at Synagouge by ironically saying “Heil Hitler” and giving each other the Nazi Salute. It’s a hoot– the elderly Jews think it’s hilarious! It’s almost as funny as when we play “Suicide Bomber” and pretend to blow each other up.

You got that from Wonkette.
You should credit them.

It is Associate Professor. Keep that in mind.
Though I have a feeling his employer is not amused by this clown making them look stupid twice in the six months or so.
[re=390620]Hooray For Anything[/re]: and I bet they love absolutely everything on earth getting compared to nazism, and by extension comparing healthcare for poors to stuffing people in ovens. I mean, connect the fucking dots people!
this logic is pretty much like my dinnertable,I’m not gonna do it.also!
[re=390612]drrty martini[/re]: She might resent his claim that she is a tool of the Socialists.
This is the kind of guy who plays Back Sabbath records backwards to hear the secret messages. Of course, I have never done that myself.
Every fucking day I am amazed by stupid people who can apparently breathe and type at the same time.
If Jews hailed fellow Jews with “Heil Hitler” one of our great cultural commentators, like Jonah “Cumguzzler” Goldberg, Ezra Klein or some other clown with a biblical name would’ve told us already. Plus it would’ve originated with the youngs, not some halfwit Vegas troll.
Same problem with the Turkic ethnics in China “Uyghur please!”
This story can only get more complicated if that nice lady suddenly shows up with a black eye and the letters “SS” carved into her cheek, claiming it was Rahm Emmanuel who did it.
Do they throw each other into ovens too? WTF!?
When those two beefy guys, Shemp and Cooter, rush up to flank Ms. Hitler and stand there like bouncers? That’s just the Israeli national greeting.
Is Cornell still accredited? wow!
[re=390603]ShortShadey[/re]: Exactly!! Antisemitism, universal health care compared to nazism, and supplying Israel’s military…is there an incongruity here? These all wingnut causes. This woman is maybe not even antisemitic. I mean, if you were a Jew and heard somebody advocating death panels designed by a black muslim fascist, you’d go crazy, too. But somebody tell me where all these people are coming from, please! As a Wonkette reader, I always knew well that these cockroaches existed, but what insane logic has driven them out of the woodwork all at once?
What is Jacobson smoking? Maybe some campus cops need to come and bust down HIS front door and, you know, give him a few questions or two to answer?!
What a moron.
Me and my black friends often say, “Up with the KKK!” as an ironic greeting.
Here is documented proof that all the olds are high as a fucking kite, and can’t be responsible for what they say or do:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32474104/ns/health-addictions/
Rant ON, olds!
Look at the last paragraph. I think that “mayby” this BLOG POST was staged…
Remember when someone posted a Bush=Hitler video to a MoveOn.org contest, and it was up for like 10 minutes, and the entire right wing freaked out for weeks on end? How far we’ve come! Just 5 years later, equating the President with Hitler is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
I don’t understand how that guy sleeps at night. Ithica, NY (where Cornell is) is full of real, actual hippies, he must be scared shitless that they’re going to break into his house at night and drown him in patchouli or something.
An ironic greeting. Yes, of course. So when I call this woman a douche-sack, we should all understand it as the endearment it actually is.
[re=390603]ShortShadey[/re]:
She was obviously mocking Blum as a traitor to his race. She was saying, in effect, if you support health reform, you are also supporting Hitler. Makes perfect sense, does it not?
Pretty much everyone except the esteemed professor understood that.
Not that there’s the slightest logic or reason to her idiocy, but it’s clear that she was accusing the other guy of being a Nazi supporter because he said that Israel’s universal health coverage was great.
Of course, when you get people who read Jonah Goldberg, for starters, their misunderstanding of basic terminology starts to match his, and after all he writes entire books about how he doesn’t understand what words mean.
I did indeed read Prof. Jacobson’s post, and I will never those 5minutes of my life/5million brain cells back. The esteemed Professor seems to believe that since the Hilter lady was wearing an IDF t-shirt, she must obviously be some sort of sinister plant. However, I was under the impression if that you wanted to use plants to disrupt a public forum, you’d do well to ask your plants not to divulge their mission by doing stupid things like wearing slogans or images that are off-message.
Or perhaps I’m wrong. Perhaps this lady, besides being short a few marbles herself, is indeed a plant from the Agglomerated Idiocracy of Dumbsylvania.
[re=390625]glamourdammerung[/re]: But with whom does he associate? Think about it.
Getting a woman to wear a IDF t-shirt and scream “Heil Hitler” at a JEW??? Diabolical. Is there NO END to Pelosi’s sinister plot?
I think she is trying to revive the Judenrat.
And FYI: we prefer “kike”
[re=390676]give us a bob[/re]: A brief reminder, for all persons solicitous of their own brain cells: Do not clink on happily provided Wonkette editors links to the National Review Online, RedState, a transcription from a Fox News anchor or show host, or something that looks like a cool idea until you notice the url to the link you’re about to hit has the word “astley” in it.
[re=390623]honkyman[/re]: Eh, that’s the whole concept. And actually, I didn’t really want credit for thinking that it might be sarcastic, as it very clearly was not.
It’s funny how everyone at Wonkette was like, “Wow, that’s really weird, the t-shirt and all. WTF? This broad is fucking NUTS.” And how the professor was all “IT MUST BE A PLANT.” I mean, we’re so baffled by her that hardly anyone is suggesting that she’s a really accurate representation of any particular political branch, other than the LaRouchies.
Everything is a conspiracy with these people.
Why isn’t the professor at a university more suited to accommodate his intelligence? Like Liberty?
At Cornell University, Carl Sagan taught a course on critical thinking until his death in 1996 from a rare bone marrow disease. The course had only a limited number of seats. — I’m guessing William Jacobson never got in…
In related, I got a Cornell Law School diploma by sending in three proofs of purchase of Cocoa Puffs.
[re=390597]V572625694[/re]: Those familliar with Disc World will tell you that Trolls think better in the cold.
Are these people continually using Nazi references in order to make the Left look bad, because it’s starting to appear that their real motive is to make the Nazis look OK.
[re=390728]Snarkalicious[/re]: Dude, we need Rahm or Obama to go all Lord Vetinari on these people.
i for one will hold off any commentary until i get home and my dining room table weighs in.
Dipshits.
She was calling HIM a Nazi. And it just goes to show that, no matter how much Real Mrrrka loves themselves some Israel, Israel doesn’t necessarily love them.
Retarded woman is retarded.
I did not watch it but as a Jew, when someone says Heil Hitler to me, I respond by saying “F–K you” and smacking them in the face. So did that happen?- because that is what we do.
I do enjoy how William Jacobson’s blog is called Legal Resurrection. Because nothing says “rebel” like a white law professor at Cornell.
Also, I’m, not sure what the contradiction is about the woman wearing the IDF shirt. She seems to embody the wingnut mantra of loving Israel but hating Jews.
[re=390761]finallyhappy[/re]: That guy had mad amounts of restraint to not go completely midieval on her ass.
And another thing no one’s pointed out is the connection between Israel’s compulsory healthcare and Israel’s compulsory military service. His outrage, and confusion, at her is all the more understandable given the shirt she is wearing is, in fact, a promotion of socialized medicine; not to mention the armed forces he served in.
“When did the Jews start Nazi Saluting one another?”
Loaded question fail.
As a hispanic in Texas, I’ll like to greet old white guys by beating the shit out of them with the butt of my AR15 like in the Battle of the Alamo. One love!
Holy crap, I sense a great conference paper in the offing for Prof. Mustard: “Keepin’ it Meshuge: Taking back the H-word.”
Apologies if someone has already said this, but perhaps she’s one of those Christians who thinks the Jews will all convert when Jesus comes back, in which case of course she’s a supporter of Israel and the IDF’s ability to kick Arab countries’ asses to keep the Holy Land intact. Jesus, isn’t Cornell one of them thar respectable schools?
Mr. Jacobson is a securities lawyer. His contribution to Cornell Law is to operate its Securities Law Clinic, the principal function of which appears to be to send lengthy letters to the SEC about arcane regulatory issues.
He is as intimate with the questions in the health care debate as he is with Uranus.
[re=390666]Simba B[/re]: “Death By Patchouli,” wasn’t that a failed ice-cream flavor in the early-early days of Ben & Jerry?
[re=390793]GreatOldOnesParty[/re]: All of which makes her statement that much ballsier (dumber?) because even the dorkiest, geekiest, lamest Israeli has to join the army and thus knows about ten to fifteen ways to kill somebody in seconds using their bare hands.
[W]hy could an obvious supporter of Israel(dog whistle for we’re fapping for the rapture, mr. dr. jacobson, academic doofus brain!) make such a statement?
Jesus, CornEll’s fools who need to get off their steep hillock and out into the insufferable, evangelical-infested world the rest of us have to suffer in, a little more often.
Actually the woman was there to present the GOP answer for healthcare reform. Which is to mock people with large medical bills.
If they wanted to be ironical like the black folk, they should call to each other ‘Hey Big Nose’ or’Sup My Hymie.’ Yelling ‘Heil Hitler’ to another Jew is about as funny as wearing a white hood at an NAACP meeting.
[re=390947]SnarkNotFark[/re]: “Sup My Hymie”
Limeade out the nose!
This is a tricky corner of language to navigate. I am of the opinion that it is all about inflection: Was it a HEIL! HITLA! or HEIL HITLER! only one is how Jewish people salute each other ironically and the other is just hateful, hurtful, and insensitive utterance.
I went to jacobson’s site and he flagged me as having come from blogger.com
The there was this message on his site:
William A. Jacobson said… @michilines – No I didn’t get it from Wonkette. I posted it, and only later saw it at their site as an update via Memeorandum.
Yeah, yeah. He didn’t get it from Wonkette.
Putz.
Hey, crazy Hilter fan lady’s name is Pamela Pilger, and she needs our support in these trying times.
Moot point, anyway. This female douche-sack is not a fellow JEW!!! (Ironic, my ass.)
Take the gas-pipe, perfesser!
I have personally sparred with this Jacobson mentalcase and he is a complete insane dickhead.
Log Lady?
[re=390761]finallyhappy[/re]:
I seriously thought that was going to happen, until the very large men stepped in.
I’ve seen it a few times, and I’m thinking this is the ’09 version of ‘Don’t Tase Me, Bro’, but way, way better.
Now that it’s proven that the “Heil Hitler” lady is a real conservative named Pamela Pilger, I’m just so deeply, deeply disappointed that Professor Jacobson hasn’t updated his website to reflect that HIS ENTIRE THEORY IS NOT ONLY RETARDED BUT DISPROVEN!
Doesn’t Jacobson have any intellectual ethics? After all, he’s a professor – as he keeps reminding us.
He sounds like a nagger to me.
