Mark Levin, Sarah Palin's favorite person since the Gipper kicked the bucket, claims that President Obama is the greatest threat to the Jews since the 1930's. Update!

Courtesy of TPM:

 "Barack Obama, as a result of this and the other things he’s doing, including arming up the Islamonazis in Tehran, is the greatest threat the Jews face — not in this country but in Israel — since the 1930s," he said on "The Mark Levin Show." 

Levin said that Obama's relationship with Israel and his decision to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran threaten Israeli Jews. 

"He’s the greatest threat they face since the 1930s. And I say that because he is doing more now to degrade Israel’s military and defense posture, its intelligence information. He’s doing more now to arm Israel’s enemy than anybody," he said. "He is the greatest threat that that nation faces. And by the way, he’s a great threat to our nation too, as far as I’m concerned."

Not to nitpick the wisdom of the "Great One" here but between the 1930's and now wasn't there something called the Holocaust?

I mean that didn't start until 1941, and that seems substantially more detrimental to the Jewish people than anything that Barack Obama could possibly even dream up.

But hey what do I know? I mean I don't have a radio show that is listened to by the wingnuttiest of the wingnuts, nor am I beloved by so rational a person as Sarah Palin.

 And let me say how often I thank my lucky stars for that!

Update for clarification: To those who sent me an e-mail, yes I am aware that Hitler came into power in the early 1930's and that he started persecuting the Jews pretty much right away.

I guess my point was that things became even more deadly for the Jewish people when the Holocaust, or Shoah, was in full swing from 1941 to 1945. It was at this time that the wholesale slaughter of the Jewish people commenced.

Of course the point of Levin's remarks was to make a comparison between President Obama and Adolph Hitler. As if the attempts to negotiate a deal with Iran to not build nuclear weapons instead of attacking them and further destabilizing the region, are on par with the actions of one of the most reviled men in human history.

To sum up Mark Levin is a right wing provocateur who will say essentially anything to stoke the hatred of his lunatic listeners for our President, and no rational person should pay him any attention if it were not for the fact that ignoring these anarchists has proven detrimental to our country in the past.
