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."

Heinz-Kerry for President, if you thought the Clinton's were White Trash, wait until you get a load of us

It's amazing....all the money that clan has and they can't even buy class.

I saw this yesterday and posted that I was shocked the Jewish vote is still so strong for Democrats.

Israel never had a stronger friend in the White House than President Bush.

Follow-up question which should have been asked....Ok Heinz, I'll bite. Who did sell you your coke?

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

"I have no evidence. He never sold me anything."

The way I read that is that he hasn't bought coke from Bush, but he has bought coke. Almost seems like a subconscious slip to me.

I was referring to H J Heinz.

Exactly--I really think Michael Moore and the Kerry campaign has a lot of explaining to do. there message is anti-semitic. This should not be tolerated in a country like ourswithout them being completely called on it.

Chris Heinz complained at a recent campaign stop that Jews have too much influence on the U.S. presidential election.

But...but I thought all the Jews were locked in Kerry voters? So he'd be happy about that.

"Israel gets it. US Jews do not."

No, I think you are missing what Heinz is complaining about. The pro-Israel Jewish vote (AKA "The Jewish Lobby') IS overwhelmingly on Bush's side. It's giving the Kerry campaign fits because it is usually in the Dem's pocket. Perhaps you missed the raucous support Bush got the last time he spoke at an AIPAC conference. He was a rock star. Compare that to how Kerry was treated. Also notice how Kerry has had to campaign in Palm Beach in the closing weeks of the campaign. Palm Beach!

So, don't lump all US Jews together. Many of us do get it and are supporting Bush.

[Ptarmigan]

What Jewish lobby?

[mabelkitty]

No, this is the homo being pushed on us as the rise of John-John Kennedy. Fat chance.

It's getting there, I e-mailed it to my Jewish relatives and friends, also told my parents (kerryites) that I won't be talking to them until after the election.

[Libertina]

I understand what you are saying, but the rats have the schools, the ignorant, the rioters. They could try to make life and elections very unpleasant if they don't get their way. Do not assume that the "law" or tradition will stop them. Or the US Constitution. If our children are taught that the electoral college is "unfair" (the creative use of "unfair" being the current over-riding theme in all public school lessons) they WILL vote it down when they reach adulthood.

[hipaatwo]

Amen! Count me as another Jew voting Bush, and so is my son!

[BADROTOFINGER]

He is like school in the summer time. No class...JFK

[Tar Heel Bushie]

Don't these creeps ever get tired of slamming Israel and the Jewish people? They are scary people and we have to pray they don't win the White House.

[An American In Dairyland]

His phony stepfather, John "Kerry" has Jewish blood coursing through his "blue blooded" veins. What a mess these people are!
