If a rabidly anti-Semitic terrorist attacks a kosher deli, knowing it’s a kosher deli, and starts killing the people inside because he hopes they’re Jews, well, those are random acts of terrorism, according to President Obama, along with Jen Psaki of the State Department, and Josh Earnest of the White House, all of whom apparently want us to believe that there is nothing particularly anti-Semitic about the brand of terrorism practiced by Islamic fundamentalists. New York’s Jonathan Chait fills us in on the Obama Administration’s “see no evil/speak no evil” approach to dealing with unpleasantries. Well, the president promised not to do stupid shit, not not to say stupid shit. So he’s half kept his word.

I’m running this in part to make up for the fact that, in the post below, I make fun of Jonah Goldberg for pretending not to notice anything wrong with the, um, stunningly anti-Semitic record of the Catholic Church. Jonah, you’ve got a clear shot
at this one.
