It's Not My Fault, It's Not My Fault, It's Not My Fault! It's the Jews!

By Rich Kozlovich 

I love quoting Alfonso Bedoya in the 1948 movie The Treasure of Sierra Madre:

"Badges,  Badges? We ain't got no Badges! We don't need no Badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!"

But that line came from the 1927 book of the same name.  The original line was slightly different.  The line is far more crude, for which I apologize, but I think far more appropriate to the views and character of the people outlined in this piece.  Here is the original line:

"Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don't need badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabrón and chinga tu madre!"

On February 22, 2020 Andrea Widburg published an article entitled, For Ilhan Omar, the best defense is always...anti-Semitism saying:

On Thursday, Britain's Daily Mail ran a story that America's media have refused to cover: the strong evidence that Ilhan Omar married her own brother, Ahmed Elmi, in order to commit immigration and student loan fraud. Omar's first response was precisely what everyone expected: she claimed anti-Muslim hate speech.

She went on to say: 

By Friday, though, Omar had escalated her rhetoric, not directly but by proxy. She retweeted a post from Humans 4 Human Rights asserting that any challenge to Omar is a Zionist conspiracy.

But did she do what they said she did?  One of the things none of her supporters want to acknowledge, nor do they want anyone else to ask is this.  Did she do what they claim she did!  Has she illegally gamed the American system?  That's the only issue at stake here.  Period! 

The author goes on to say:

The problem with having Omar in Congress isn't just her socialism, no matter how terrible an idea socialism is. Instead, it's her blatant, unrelenting hatred for America and American values.

One expects a person who was welcomed here as a refugee and reached one of the highest pinnacles in the land to show at least smidgen of gratitude...but not Omar. She's the bad guest who moves in and then tries to burn down the house and then tries to burn down the neighbor's house, too.

This idea that blaming racism or Islamophobia is at the heart of the attack may sound great, but factually disputing these criminal claims would be far more effective.  These kind of leftist excuses, logical fallacies, obfuscations of the facts and justifications are always at the heart of the left's  arguments. Not facts, emotion!    

Do what ever it takes to avoid dealing with the facts!  Divert, dilute, and impute the integrity of others, especially the Jews.   "I'ts not my fault, it's the Jews!  And I don't need no stinking facts." 

Paraphrasing the original quote at the start of this piece is appropriate here:

"Facts, to god-damned hell with facts! We have no facts. In fact, we don't need facts. I don't have to show you any stinking facts, it's the god-damned stinking Jews fault. "

Spewing out anti-Semitic swill doesn’t distract from the presented facts, which at this point clearly show she factually did what they said she did.  And until she and her supporters can come up with a factual refutation, what she did was illegal!

Why is that so hard to grasp?
