‘Pajama Boy’ as Rorshach Inkblot

Posted on Comments

The latest weird sequel to the ObamaCare ad controversy is the claim that conservatives mocking “Pajama Boy” are anti-Semites.

Such a claim involves a lot intellectual gymnastics which might be better described as the psychological projections of a profoundly disturbed personality named Jay Michaelson:

Parenthetically, the model himself is one Ethan Krupp, an Organizing for America staffer who is, in fact, Jewish. But whether Krupp himself is circumcised or not, Pajama Boy is semiotically Jewish, even stereotypically so.
In fact, Pajama Boy stands at a centuries-old nexus of anti-Semitism and misogyny.

Yeah. Right.

Jay Michaelson tells us very little about conservatives who made fun of a silly ad, but tells us an awful lot about the strange ideas that swirl around inside Jay Michaelson’s deranged mind.

“Some things you have to read to believe.”

  4. Nothing demonstrates the failure of Obama’s marketing team more than the fact that even his leftist media defenders couldn’t come up with any reasonable defense or counterattack for Pajama Boy for nearly two weeks.

    BTW, I’m not clicking on any link to “Forward.com” – but I admit to curiosity: is it an MSNBC site, an OFA site, or something else entirely.

    Actually, never mind. I really don’t care.

  6. You really should go read the comments to the article. Some readers are convinced that those who mock the pajama boy are neo-Nazi’s of varying flavors and no, I’m not kidding.

  12. The Forward is the tattered remains of a socialist Yiddish-language paper that is over 115 years old.

  17. Well, if you had any of the fine degrees with “Studies” in the name then you’d know.

    Okay, actually you would not know. However your ignorance would not prevent you from deploying it.

  19. Oh look, he’s a VP at the Arcus Foundation, the pet project of a crazy billionaire set up to advocate for apes and GLBT causes. (Think I am making a bad joke? Just google it.) And most notably, the Arcus Foundation has poured millions of dollars into stirring up conflict, division, and schism within mainline Protestant and Catholic churches in the USA over the “gay marriage issue.” (See here for one write-up: http://www.standfirminfaith.com/?/sf/page/24803 ) Looks like they have reached into the Jewish community too, now. Very interesting.

  20. Clearly, Pajama Boy is African American and any mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging conservative neanderthal who says otherwise is a racist AND a homophobe!!

    Leftists: “You can’t judge people by APPEARANCES… but Pajama Boy is totally Jewish! Just look at that pale skin and his effeminate smirk!”

  27. Liberals: it doesn’t matter what you think. If you do not kowtow to normalizing homosexuality, you must be a raaacist and an anti-semitic and anything else we can tack on you.

  28. Guiltily, I must admit that at times I feel I might be an anti-dorkist. Forgive me for that please, libs, if you may feel offended.

  30. Jay Michaelson: “In fact, Pajama Boy stands at a centuries-old nexus of anti-Semitism and misogyny.”

    How did he work “misogyny” in? Pointing out that this or that male is unmanly in his appearance is “misogyny”? Since when?

    Or is this just part of the reflexive leftist response? (“Homophobic!…Racist!….Misogynistic!….Sexist!…etc.”)

  32. “Or is this just part of the reflexive leftist response? (“Homophobic!…Racist!….Misogynistic!….Sexist!…etc.”)”

    You left out cis-normative, but yeah, pretty much.
