[Dumbass weighs in on Obama's Chief of Staff]
can you believe his pick for chief of staff? a guy named Rahm EMANUEL? He's jewish to boot. His real family name was Auerbach, which i cant seem to find what that means in hebrew , but, anyway, the name was changed by his grandfather i think. Rahm means "high" or "lofty".......this whole thing is beginning to get even stranger!!

"a guy named Rahm EMANUEL? He's jewish to boot."
The horror! The horror !
A black president and a Jewish Chief of Staff. Surely the End Times are here!
Or, you know, he might just be the best qualified for the job. But no, that can't be it.
"His real family name was Auerbach, which i cant seem to find what that means in hebrew, but, anyway, the name was changed by his grandfather i think."
And?
"Rahm means "high" or "lofty".......this whole thing is beginning to get even stranger!!"
If anyone knows about strange it's Rapture Ready so I'll take your word for it.
"Auerbach was originally a German-language generic toponym coming from Aue + Bach, meaning "floodmeadow brook", that is, "a brook running through a flood-meadow". The name is used for many places and people."
Took 10 fucking seconds on Google.
Emanuel is a name for Christ, so I don't understand why he's acting like this is evil.
@JR: Win. Seriously, how can someone who's ever heard German not realize that Auerbach is?

Thats because it's GERMAN you fucking retard!
And you wonder why everyone thinks Americans are stupid.

There are plenty of Jew hating fundies on Stormfront. These people are in serious denial, thinking that Jesus was not a Jew and that black people are not descendants of Adam and Eve, but of a race of previously created humans.
They're all for saving Israel by any means necessary, but when it comes time to put a Jew in high office, they start running around like someone shoved a crucifix up their asses. For fuck's sake, make up your tiny minds.
Oh nooooo... A man with a German surname changed it to a less German sounding name around the time of World War 2... And in the USA, no less.
Could it POSSIBLY have something to do with people being biased against Germans at the time?? nooo... Let's look for a paranoid reason. WAY more fun.
<sigh>
HEAVEN FORBID THIS GUY DARE TO HAVE A LAST NAME AND A FIRST NAME THAT MEANS SOMETHING AMBITIOUS! HOW DARE HIS PARENTS!
My name means "industrious," but I don't ascribe any particular significance to it. I'm lazy as hell. Names don't mean jack shit, in the scheme of things, because it's really just so you're not just called "hey" or "you" or "oi, jackass." Don't signify for anything.
@dg: Actually, Emanuel and Emmanuel/Immanuel are two different names. I believe Emanuel means "gift from God" or something like that, whereas Immanuel is Hebrew for "crazy German philosopher". (I like Kant, but he's a little nuts.)
OHNOES A GERMAN JEW
He's probably a commie-nazi to boot.
They do hold these idiots under too long, don't they. Or maybe it's not long enough, I'm not sure.
I thought one of your issues with Obama was that he'd abandon Israel. Surely picking a Jew as his highest advisor would seem to indicate that that mightn't be so. Surely that's a good thing, no?
So why the upset?
Honestly, he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
Hey dumbass, Auerback is not Hebrew, it's either German or Dutch or Polish. And I thought you dumb fucks were zionists, protectors of the Jews. Most of you bitch and whine that Obama will not support Israel, so he chooses a Jew as chief of staff, and what do you do? BITCH AND WHINE about it. If you want to ease the pain, go jump off of a fucking cliff. It would make everyone happy.
Yes, like being a Jew is more important than getting America out of the stinkhole it's sinking into.
*cue eye roll*
Merit > religious affiliation any day, bitch!
Check another one for our grand plan! NOT.
@ Previous commenters: "Emanuel" means "God is with us", as ironic as that is. Ram indeed mean "high", "elated" or "exalted".
So if he picked a jewish chief, I guess that means he's not a secret muslim, right?
Then again, it's Rapture Ready. Logic has never been one of their strong points.
CailinBan:
He could end world hunger and homelessness, bring about world peace and find a cure for aids and after 8 years once he left office, those fuckers would be saying: "Thank goodness that we prayed so hard that we stopped Obama from carrying out his evil plots that all the good things he did were just covers for."
They want to and have to hate him because all they know is to fear and loathe anything that is even the slightest bit different then themselves. People that are like those at RR prove that human beings are indeed animals. Any type of real change that threatens to invade their environments spirals them into primitive states of panic, aggression and disarray. Hopefully as we progress on the evolutionary scale, we'll eventually sedate that sort of instinctual behavior that's doing more harm than good in this era.
So, Obama-the-Muslim has a Jewish friend, advisor, and now chief of staff. Can't you see what's going on here, people? It's all part of an obvious pattern:
calling himself a Christian and belonging to a Christian church for 20+ years,
allowing his wife and daughters to wear western clothing,
treating his wife with so much respect (even allowing her to speak for him) that they appear to be equal partners,
supporting reproductive choice (in opposition of Islam),
supporting gay rights (in opposition of Islam),
eating pork, and
even planning to acquire a dog (considered "unclean" in Islam).
Isn't it obvious? As one of our fundie friends quoted on FSTDT today noted, he's just doing all these non-Moslem things to "throw us off the trial." How could anyone doubt that?
So a Jewish man decided to change his last name from one that reflected a culture that had oppressed people like him to one that is Hebrew, and now his grandson is the Chief of Staff, and this is horrible...why?
even planning to acquire a dog (considered "unclean" in Islam).
Depends on who you ask. Some people are just against eating dogs. Let that be a lesson to you. If you don't eat dog meat, you're a Muslim in disguise.
Okay....
I'm Dutch Roman Catholic, baptized but non-observing. My first name is Hebrew for "God's Gift".
Omigod, I'm soooo arrogant, I think I'm God's gift to the world! Oooooh, I must be a right bastard to have such an arrogant name!
Moron.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
