Is this racism or what?
We've seen this before right here on FR. Blacks and Jews were called "natural socialists" by one particular poster.
I'll never forget that one.

Stress a lie? Clinton's Oslo was a committment to Israel's destruction, if anything.
Right. Sure, there are quite a few 'rats who speak and vote the right way about Israel, but the worst anti-Israel crap (bordering on Jew-hating) comes from the left. While I'm not thrilled with quite a bit that Bush has (and has not) done wrt Israel, he's a damn sight better than Clintigula was. At the very least, Bush isn't acting out of an obsession with getting a Nobel prize.
As for marginalizing fellow 'rats?! Yeah, they sure did a lot to dump Cynthia McKinney and Earl Hilliard -- like avidly supporting them in their respective primaries. :::roll eyes:::
Ann Lewis, the Jewish former director of communications for the Clinton administration, attended a series of meetings of top Democrats in spring 2002 to discuss what they saw as a deteriorating situation with Jewish voters.
Barney Frank's sister.
He says there are signs Bush may well get tough with Israel in a second term, when he doesn't have to worry about re-election.
Unless Colon Bowel does a total and complete mind control thing, I don't see any signs of that whatsoever -- just leftist wishful thinking, such as they are capable of thinking.
"Look at the demographics of people who vote Democrat: People who don't go to church often, with a graduate level of education, who don't have guns, who live in the inner suburbs or cities," Forman said. "This should be a Democratic constituency."
Hmm... I'm Jewish, don't go to synagogue very often at all, I have a graduate degree, don't have a gun (although that's not what I desire) and live in *THE* city...and yet I'm a fairly hardcore conservative Republican. That's right, commies, keep taking "the Jewish vote" for granted... < /snicker>
"Those that believe and want to believe that they´re going to run a campaign on domestic issues are mistaken," Brooks said. "This will be a foreign-policy election."
The 'rats tried the switcheroo in '02 -- with disasterous (for them) results.
Dean has said his remarks were misinterpreted and that he merely meant greater U.S. involvement in resolving the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Right. Now, when and how will he slither out of how he likened the pali terrorists as "soldiers" and said that Israel has to dismantle "lots" of settlements.
The sad thing is that last month, my dad and I went to a benefit concert for the Friends of the IDF at a synagogue in a fairly well-to-do area of Lawnguyland. Early on, I looked around the crowded synagogue, leaned over to my dad and said "I'll bet anything that come November 2004, you and I will be just about the only people from this room to vote for Bush. I can't believe that these people paid so much money to be here on such a crappy day [it had been snowing and sleeting that day], and will then work against this effort by voting for Dean."
Two virulently anti-Israel congressmen — Cynthia McKinney of Georgia and Earl Hilliard of Alabama — organized support against the 2002 solidarity vote that triggered the new Democratic outreach to the Jews. Jewish money helped opponents defeat them in 2002 party primaries, and Hoyer is not shy about reminding Jews of that success.
Yes, it was quite a success -- against the DCCC, who supported these two bigots. I love Hoyer taking credit for things he didn't do.
Nah. A big part of the "Jewish guilt experience" is that we're supposed to believe that we somehow deserve this abuse. Maybe for being successful or something like that. But I've seen that too often.
Wanna bet?
I hear ya .....I'm Jewish as well, haven't been to synagogue in ages, and come from a neighborhood (in L.A.) where Jews vote 'Rat in overwhelming #'s. But there are strong indications that the tide turning, and it has nothing to do with the success we're having in the WOT and the President's general overall friendliness to Israel. In the 2000 election (before any of us new for sure what Bush's policies would be), around 50% of all Jews under 30 voted for GWB. That's a big %, and especially significant because voters in that age group (right out of leftist brainwashing colleges) typically vote Democrat. This bodes well for the future -- the FDR/New Deal Dinosaur Jews are slowly sinking into oblivion.
In my opinion, the President does what he thinks is best for the country without too much political posturing.
Im sorry, but I cant agree with this broad brush stroke. I guess we found the far right folks who are anti-Jewish...geesh.
There are 28,000 (see source below). Of those, statistically, about 6000 are probably below 18. That leaves 22000. Jews vote in statistically higher amounts than most Americans, so lets say 15,000 of those Jews voted in 2000. Say that 80% voted for Gore, that means 12000 for Gore, 3000 for Bush. Now if Bush gets 40%, he picks up a net 6000 votes. So, I guess you are right-- in 2000 getting a higher Jewish vote would have made a difference. However, I seriously doubt that 2004 will be anywhere as near as freakishly close.
That being said, the data indicates a few more states with more Jews than I thought they had (Marlyand, Massachusets, Conneticut and Nevada). However, of those states, 3 are solidly blue and 1 is solidly red, so the Jewish vote won't matter much there. http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/US-Israel/usjewpop.html

I ws brought up in an orthodox jewish household.
Perhaps I hear things that would not be said to a gentile but I assure you the prevalent thoughts in the liberal jewish community is that 'thosse' people need our help. That 'their' children cannot learn if they aren't sitting next to white children in school, etc. etc.
No, you're wrong. The administration made the determination that those portions of the fence built east of the 67 line were "settlements".
