Hamas TV has the scoop. The Jews are devils and bats. We have it on Ben Franklin's own authority:

These were his words. 'An immense danger faces the American people – the proliferation of Jews in the United States.' He went on to say: 'The Jews are devils and bats. We must expel these sinners...' These are his words, not mine. We must expel this group of sinners from the United States, and if you don't do this immediately, our future generations will curse you, when they find themselves under the boots of the Jews.

I'm a little surprised by this, but you know, the Jews are mighty powerful, and I guess the Elders of Zion have seen to it that Ben's been bowdlerized all this time. I'm glad the truth is finally out there, but it will be a damned nuisance to annotate my tattered copy of Poor Richard's Almanack accordingly. "In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes-and the Jewish devils are responsible for both them!" "Early to bed and early to rise, or you'll be ground under the heel of the Jewish bats!"

Wait...I am confused. I thought the official Hamas position was that Jews were Monkeys and Pigs...

It is so hard to keep up with the nonsensical beliefs of homicidal xenophobes...

I like "Jewish bats" the best, it sounds so cute. Like little Yodas.

So it's like Ben and Me but with wings?

Other Franklin quotes:

"A place for everything, everything in its place, as long as it's not land stolen from Palestinians who still have the key to the house and remember the olive groves with sad fondness"

"Guests, like gefilte fish, begin to smell after three days."

"Jewish bats"

It has a ring to it - like "Amish furniture"

"All the best players, they want the Jewish bats. Those Jews...they know from a hickory stick."

When was Ben Franklin elected President? What was he, the 3 1/2 President or something?

So that's why whenever Claire stops by Castle Gormogon, out of the ether come the mysterious strains…nananananananana nananananananana BAT-GIRL! BAT-GIRL! BAT-GIRL!

Before I just thought it was because she wears that costume all the time.

Wow, glad (I think?) to see people having a sense of humor about this. I read this yesterday and it really bothered me. I'm not peppy enought today to add to the humor. I. just. don't. understand. how people cannot see or acknowledge -- at EVERY opportunity -- the massive threat growing and thriving in the Middle East to Israel, Jewish people, Americans, the list goes on. Why would people IGNORE this kind of stuff? Ugh. Sorry. Not much to add except a "what-is-this-world-coming-to" weariness.

Jewish bats? You mean like the one Sandy Koufax used?

Trace, you're close. Jewish bats like Hank Greenberg. Sandy used to throw smoking fastballs and incredible curves past goyische bats.

Oh, we don't want to go there. Al Gore will claim to be the 43 1/2 President of the United States. And Obama will be Presidents 44-46 (one for Barack, and one for each teleprompter).
