Orthodox Jewish Group Invents Uber For Protesting Gay Pride

This weekend, as the elated masses took to the streets to celebrate Friday’s historical win for inclusiveness and equality, the hate groups of the world took it upon themselves to balance out all that joy. Or, in the case of the Jewish Political Action Committee, they took it upon the Mexican laborers they hired to dress up as Jews and do the protesting for them.

The New York Times ran across this ragtag group of supposedly Semitic protestors bearing signs that read things like “Judaism prohibits homosexuality” and “G-d Created Adam and Eve NOT Adam and Steve.” But upon being questioned, one of the men revealed that they were actually Mexican workers who’d been paid to show up and protest....

So lest the impressionable young men of the yeshiva see the odd man in a thong or two, these bigoted men of God decided it best to, instead, find some random laborers, dress them up in their holiest garb, and pay them to attempt to shame the jubilant attendees of New York’s pride parade. In which case, honestly, the kids would be better off just seeing the schmeckle....

And the story gets weirder still. According to tipster Ari Mandel, the “Jewish Political Action Committee” may actually consist of just one man. What’s more, this isn’t his first hate-filled rodeo, as evidenced by these photos from last year’s Israel Day Parade.

Oy vey.

Outsourcing protesters. They're taking our protests!

4. "If you know anything else about this bizarre little (one-man?) extremist group..."

Absent knowing who it was that paid for this and why, then it seems a bit hasty for the headline to say that an "Orthodox Jewish Group" was responsible for this.

If it was just one guy somewhere, then we really don't know what is his motivation.
