John Kerry's stepson Chris Heinz complained at a recent campaign stop that Jews have too much influence on the U.S. presidential election.
"One of the things I've noticed is the Israel lobby," the ketchup heir said, in quotes picked up Sunday by the New York Post.

Heinz complained that Israel was being treated "as the 51st state, sort of a swing state." In more overheated rhetoric first reported by Philadelphia magazine, Heinz called Bush supporters "our enemies" and said that if he ran his stepfather's campaign, the attacks on President Bush would get even uglier.
"We didn't start out with negative ads calling George Bush a cokehead," Heinz reportedly explained before adding, "I'll do it now."
Asked later about the comment, Heinz turned sarcastic, saying, "I have no evidence. He never sold me anything."
His grandfather was a Heinz since former now deceased Senator Heinz was his father.
Medved was a Yale classmate of John Kerry and knew him as a pompous windbag in service to his presidential ambitions even then. One cannot re-iterate too often his saying that Orthodox jews (not blackhats) are far more grounded and comfortable in their skin and feel no more need for utopian ideologies than the rest of us.
Another interesting point that Rabbi Lapin makes in "America's Real War" was that part of the reason for the Holocaust was not purely the Germans turning on the Jews, but on those Jews who had abandoned their Jewishness. In short, Lapin argues the point that the greatest antisemitism was against those Jews who assimilated to the Germans and abandoned the purity of their faith. Those Jews in parts of Germany and other European countries who maintained their faith, their dress, their customs, etc., were far less molested by the antisemitic. As Santayana said, those who do not learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.
I don't subscribe to your GLOOMY TAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bump.
From my personal experience, the jewish liberals feel that they are the elites and that the minorities need them to succeed in life.
It may have begun in altrusism but has long since been replaced by a superiority that has them thinking they are so much smarter than we the lesser educated, the less enlightened.
They are completely secular and scorn their own fellow jewish brothers who adhere to strict religious beliefs.
Jew influence, coke head accusations. Chris Heinz sounds just like one of the buchanan faithful.
I'm going with this.
It seems we have like Mother like son. What a jerk.
Exactly marty. It is all the Jews fault.
Actually, the blacksmith is the good son.
Guess he had no problem with klinton snorting and selling our secrets to support his habit.
I wonder what Daddy Heinz and Granddaddy Heinz would say
about how the heirs are carrying on.
I bet they would disown them.
I wonder if the spoiled little rich kids know that?
Stuff like this is why American Jews will vote overwhelmingly for Kerry. {/partial sarcasm}
That is because there is a double standard, as I am sure you are aware. Republicans/Conservatives are expected to have more class and honesty than the Democrat/Liberals. So it should be expected that the D/Ls are given a pass - it is expected that they bring up race whenever they have to blame someone for their own stupidity. Nevertheless, it is galling. But I would rather be held to a higher standard then expected to be a low-life without class and without brains.
It's all the fault of the JOOOOOZZZZ ... (foaming at the mouth anti-Semite alert.)
True to form, he now calls himself "Catholic" but doesn't uphold the right to life!
