Bush on Jews: 'They're all going to hell.'

From RawStory:

===

An upcoming book about presidential advisor Karl Rove reports allegations of anti-semitism by President George W. Bush, RAW STORY has learned.

In The Architect: Karl Rove and the Master Plan for Absolute Power, Austin-based journalist James Moore and Wayne Slater, senior political reporter for the Dallas Morning News, will allege that Bush once made anti-semitic comments to a reporter.

"You know what I'm gonna tell those Jews when I get to Israel, don't you Herman?" a then Governor George W. Bush allegedly asked a reporter for the Austin American-Statesman.

When the journalist, Ken Herman, replied that he did not know, Bush reportedly delivered the punch line: "I'm telling 'em they're all going to hell."

If Jews are going to Hell, Bush should convert.

Does that mean the Jews haven't had to put up with the same hell the rest of us have had for the last six years? If so, I'm converting. I think eternal damnation just might be worth it.

Jews throw better parties, so I think I'd rather be in hell than in Bush's heaven.

Perhaps we should burn him. After all, there was a burning Bush in the Bible, was there not?

...Maybe it wasn't capitalized. xD

You know, Drama, I said the same thing at church.

Being in Bible Belt Texas, it didn't go over real well, but it sure amused me!

We don't believe in Hell, so we won't be going there.

Interesting. Where do all of you stand on U.S. support of Israel?

"However, the future president was also earlier briefly engaged to a half-Jewish woman."

Nobody is half-Jewish. You're either Jewish or you're not. If your mother is Jewish, you're Jewish.

... did he think he was being funny? Not as though making a joke like that would make him less of an insensitive jerk and a total ignoramus, but I suppose it's possible he thought he was being funny.
