Remember, the poster is suggesting that, in this order, President Obama AND two politicians (who happen to be Jewish, but that's a coincidence. I'm sure.) are engaged in the conduct- metaphorically "only", of course- described in the post.

The fact is, that sort of statement wouldn't fly in most corners of this site, on most topics. I think another double standard is that some people think they can get away with all sorts of OTT rhetoric when the subject is I/P, or, say, guns.

That's been pretty clear, lately.
