Related: About this forumTYT: Netanyahu Meme Going Viral On Facebook
A North Carolina lawmaker is catching some heat for something he posted on social media that makes it seem as though President Obama is being talked down to by Benjamin Netanyahu. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"A North Carolina lawmaker is defending his sharing of a Facebook meme that imagines Benjamin Netanyahu calling President Obama a "coward" and "Islamic son of a bitch."
The meme, which state Rep. Michael Speciale (R) publicly shared on his Facebook Sept. 5, shows a picture of the Israeli prime minister speaking to Obama and envisions a conversation in which Netanyahu tells Obama "Look you Islamic son of a bitch, unless you give all your land back to the native indians, don't pretend to lecture Israeli's [sic] about our borders when you can't control your own."
The Facebook post was reported on by WNCT.*

It's all about profit for the Military Industrial Complex. The world could actually achieve a pretty high level of peace if not for a constant deliberate effort to stir up trouble.
That's what I said. Our nation, the CIA, is causing all of this shit and it is not without purpose. And, contrary to Republican assertions, that purpose is not to keep us safe.
