Mere Rhetoric, March 30, 2006:

Heeb Magazine (the starfucking Jewish hipster mag where anti-Semitic stereotypes are OK as long as they're meant ironically) is just so cool. We can't imagine anything better than having people who don't believe in God, go to shul, or identify with Israel being offensive just so they can prove that "it's cool to be Jewish."

NewsBusters, July 30, 2009:

[Roseanne Barr's] most-recent tailspin into the gutter involved a photo shoot with Heeb magazine wherein she is seen wearing an Adolf Hitler moustache and swastika as she takes burnt gingerbread "Jew Cookies" out of an oven. In another, in same costume, she is shown about to take a bite out of one of these burnt cookies. "As the "Domestic Goddess" dons the famous moustache, transforming into "Domestic Goddess Hitler," I notice that she's beginning to have fun. She nails the Fuehrer's facial expressions with twisted glee, and as she takes the burnt gingerbread "Jew Cookies" out of the oven it occurs to me that Barr may be the last celebrity utterly incapable of giving a f**k"

See? It's not that Roseanne turns irrepressibly gleeful when physically embodying a genocidal lunatic. It's that she's a rebel. She does her own thing. She plays by her own rules. Isn't she just so fucking awesome?

Well actually, of course, she's an open, genocidal anti-Semite. She hysterically indulges in feverish conspiracy theories and then blames Jews for an impending massacre that, she fantasizes, will wipe them out. But at least Heeb magazine didn't give her a platform to insist that she's just being really ironic.

It's almost difficult to believe that liberal American Jews have a difficult time articulating their identity, opting instead to pathetically reach out for a Dear Leader.

The pics, via NewsBusters, are after the jump. They're not really worth getting offended about because it's Roseanne Barr so who cares. But they're hard to beat as a textbook example of how the left excuses vulgar anti-Semitism as irony, leaving them free to get the cheap visceral thrill that hatred provides. She really was having fun, wasn't she?
