"Billy Graham's son Franklin wants you to know that Obama is allowing the Muslim Brotherhood to take over the federal government."
Well, if there's one person I'm sure to believe, it's the guy whose father was a bigot, Anti-Semite, and who likewise palled around with probably our most Anti-Semitic US Presidents (at least in terms of the modern, post-Teddy ones...FDR, much as I like him deserves some flak for not ending the Holocaust earlier/accepting more Jewish refugees, but he was focused on winning the war and was convinced that was best for everyone...and, besides, FDR *ALREADY* has a big black mark for the Japanese Internment camps.)
Also, while we're on the subject...
1. That's a pretty shitty reading of that poem to call it Anti-Semitic, or about Jews at all, really, apes-to-Jews is a pretty big stretch...Jews have been compared to PLENTY of different monsters and animals in Anti-Semitic poetry (T.S. Eliot's connecting the Jews to rats in "Gerontion" immediately springs to mind...and makes me sad...damn it, T.S. Eliot, you're still my favorite poet, but damn it, for such an insanely-smart guy you wrote a couple REALLY stupid things!) but apes? Yeah...no, not so much...and figs = Koran? Figs are in the Bible too...Jesus has a conniption fit shouting at them...so...that's just wholly supposition that figs = Koranic verse.
So yeah, you fail the English major test, Guy Who Wrote This Article...shitty reading.
BUT
2. In fairness...I think that's a pretty shitty poem...
So, yeah, if Obama did write that...
I may not agree with you that he's a bad President, krellin, but I'll happy agree he's a bad poet. ;)
