4um: Donald Trump Launches Blatantly Anti-Semitic Attack Against Hillary Clinton

Donald Trump tweeted a blatantly anti-Semitic image Saturday morning, causing an immediate backlash online and further confirming the Republican nominee is willing to sink to depths well beyond usual, acceptable bounds of politics.

The tweet, posted at roughly 8:30 a.m., featured a picture of Hillary Clinton pasted over a backdrop of $100 bills with a six-pointed star -- the Jewish Star of David -- next to her face.

This is not a dog whistle. It's not subtle. It is anti-Semitic imagery aimed at a candidate who isn't even Jewish.

Clinton's campaign could not immediately be reached for comment.

Mic News reported that the image Trump used was previously shared on a website used by neo-Nazis and anti-Semites. The site said the image appeared on an entry posted around June 22, more than a week before Trump's team tweeted it.

The irony, of course, is that Trump has Jewish relatives. His daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism when she married Jared Kushner, who is Jewish himself. Trump's grandkids are Jewish too. Trump even has a number of Jewish backers.

This hasn't exactly mellowed his instinct to give telling winks to people who hate Jews. Trump has retweeted support from white supremacists and neo-Nazis in the past and he's notably refrained from condemning the anti-Semitic mob of his supporters that has attacked Jewish reporters online.

Usually, he's responded to criticism in the past by playing dumb, as if he's unaware of what he's doing. And that same pattern held true -- somewhat -- on Saturday morning. Moments after tweeting out the Star of David image, he put out a second image with the same language, but with a red circle instead of a star. The first tweet remained up for some time, however, before eventually being taken down.

Ari Fleischer, a Jewish Republican who served as press secretary to former President George W. Bush, criticized the Trump campaign for the tweet.

"I suspect this was a case of stupidity and not malice, but no matter what, his campaign keeps making foolish mistakes," he said. "It would be nice to make it through a 3-day weekend without his campaign hurting itself."

As for Clinton's faith, she's a Methodist. Trump has attacked her for that in the past too. At a meeting of evangelical conservatives last month, he suggested there was little in the public record about her religion and that she might not actually be Christian: a blatantly false missive that was offensive in its own right but one that seems somewhat quaint in light of Saturday's tweet.

Trump adviser Roger Stone sent an email to HuffPost several hours after this article was posted, with the subject line: Total Horseshit.

"A sheriff badge is the same shape as the Star of David," Stone wrote. "You should be ashamed to publish crap like this - but then you don't work for a real news organization."

On Sunday, the Anti-Defamation league called on Trump to condemn the anti-Semitism of some of his supporters.

"[I]t's been concerning that [Donald Trump] hasn't spoken our forcefully against these people. It is outrageous to think that the candidate is sourcing material from some of the worst elements in our society," Jonathan Greenblatt, the group's CEO and national director, said in a statement to The Hill. "We would like to see [Trump] speak out consistently and clearly and reject not only this kind of prejudice, but the people behind it."

Trump has not done so as of Sunday evening. But he did, inexplicably, tweet his regrets on the death of Holocaust survivor, Nobel laureate and writer Elie Wiesel.

This piece has been updated with comments from Fleischer and Stone and the Anti-Defamation League and information from Mic.

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist,

If a drawing of a six-pointed star is an attack on Abraham's special children then a lot of US based sheriffs etc are on the hook for millions in royalties. Billions if we let them copyright the number (((six))). I use six every day, like in math, and purchases, and expecting change.

If it looks like a Jew, acts like a psycho Jew (on behalf of Israel), changes name or faith to better blend into community,has a "y" in her name then better regard it as a Jew.

During the Soviet Revolution US diplomat cabled home "Jews of the worst kind" were filling political positions. Hillary fits this category based on her actions in Libya.

The following quotes are taken directly from documents available from the U.S. Archives: State Department document 861.00/1757 sent May 2, 1918 by U.S. consul general in Moscow, Summers: "Jews prominent in local Soviet government, anti-Jewish feeling growing among population...." State Department document 861.00/2205 was sent from Vladivostok on July 5, 1918 by U.S. consul Caldwell: "Fifty percent of Soviet government in each town consists of Jews of the worst type."

From the Headquarters of the American Expeditionary Forces, Siberia on March 1, 1919, comes this telegram from Omsk by Chief of Staff, Capt. Montgomey Shuyler: "It is probably unwise to say this loudly in the United States but the Bolshevik movement is and has been since it's beginning guided and controlled by Russian Jews of the greasiest type." A second Schuyler telegram, dated June 9, 1919 from Vladivostok, reports on the make-up of the presiding Soviet government: "...(T)here were 384 `commissars' including 2 Negroes, 13 Russians, 15 Chinamen, 22 Armenians, AND MORE THAN 300 JEWS. Of the latter number, 264 had come to Russia from the United States since the downfall of the Imperial Government."

My error: in memory I encoded "worst kind" instead of "worst type" which I guess is a more accurate/erudite classification. But we don't know how they were bad: amoral/immoral, untrustworthy, incompetent, troublemakers, thieving,stupid, lazy; all we're told they were also "greasy," an observation once made by Martin Luther. Guess have to take a polysci/history course to find out.

About 20 years ago a (Jewish) man who claimed to have been the family business bookkeeper for The Rodhams wrote a letter to a Florida newspaper, stating that all the years he knew the family they were observant, practising Jews.

"It is anti-Semitic imagery aimed at a candidate who isn't even Jewish" -- pretty big leap of faith there, huh.

Rodham is a strange name -- could be made up like so any Jue ones. Whitepages finds exactly THREE in all of NY state, about 8 in CA. It's not a place name anywhere. Hell's grandmother's second husband was a kiker, something unheard of and unthinkable in my family and prolly yours -- increasing the likelihood there were already big noses in Hellary's family tree.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US AND THEM - gliberals and 80% of Amurricans - is that they go by the surface of things whereas we probe their reality. The surface of things is what the toxic mass media dish up, a totally contrived matrix of their wishful thinking and their commie-Jew dogma.

If I'm not mistaken, the Star of David is not solid. It's 2 equilateral triangles one on top of the other such that they form a hexigon in the center. If it's a six pointed star of a solid color, it's not a Star of David.

But, if The Trumpeters don't tiptoe around the sacred imagery and sensibilities like the rest of us right thinking Lilliputians (never say "Jew". They're "Jewish People") then they must be punished.

That picture of Madam Sweets could be interpreted as juxtaposing ultimate corruption with support for ol Mr. Yehudi. (Not something that "they" want to be too specific about, lest they educate the ignorant who've never heard of the connection between Israel and Jay Pollard, or the fact that "they" are the largest source of financial support for both political parties, for instance)

And, as you know there are some political opinions/theses that are simply not acceptable in polite American discourse. Even though the skeletal remains of offenders hang from the gates of every city, and the hollowed out shells of formerly secure incumbents who broke the silence are also a matter of record, to speak of the dire consequences above a whisper is also ill advised.

Our more excitable Muslim friends (pbut) are attempting to achieve insular parity with World Jewry and Israel (and New York City and Washington DC) through a shocking, scorched Earth program of ghastly violence in the extreme instead of bribery, blackmail, financial dominance and media control.

The sheer desperation of fanatical Muslims (are there any other kind?) is because the Wily Mr. Jew can field more agents and outnumber truly clever Arab and Asian Muslims by perhaps ten thousand to one. (One NSA satellite is worth a million smoke signals, rifle shots and jungle drums)

And if forced to finance their given goal (if America stops spilling our blood and spending our billions *ahhh...a moment of reverie*) a concentration of non-Christians in New York City could buy and sell the entire former Ottoman Empire. But instead of tapping into their gold vaults they'd rather finance our saber and spear forges and grow their obscene reserves until their war profits piggy banks bulge at the seams as they have after every major conflict since The War Of Nawthern Aggression..

The evolution of the six-pointed Jewish star, the Magen David," literally the "Shield of David, also known as the hexagram, or more rarely, *Solomon's Seal, is long and complex. Although it is now the most common and universally recognized sign of Judaism and Jewish identity, both within and outside of the Jewish community, it has only achieved this status in the last two hundred years. Before that it was chiefly associated with magic or with the insignia of individual families or communities. Yet despite its equivocal history, Jews have long been attracted to this design and have sought to ascribe to it venerable origins. In our own day, its universal Jewish popularity, especially as the symbol of the State of Israel, has made the question of its origins moot.

Finally somebody notices this idiotic modern fetish. Never call things what they really are -- could embarrass the gliberals! All these news stories about whatever "members of the Jewish community" are offended by -- imagine them just saying "Jews" and it gives a totally different impression.

I can hear people saying "Jues are offended? Who cares?" which they never would under the spell of this more obsequious verbiage.

There are tens of millions of Master Degrees walking around the globe with not enough sense to (as my mother would say) "to pour piss out of a boot."

The amazing thing about Pete Maravich is he was able to be a star basketball player in spite of having a major heart defect. He basically had only half a heart, and no one knew of it until after he died and they did an autopsy.

In other words, adding to the mystery of it, he had no idea of it either when he made that statement. Wild!
