Bernstein Blames 'Jewish' Neo-Cons For Persuading Bush On Iraq War
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/26/2013 6:09:08 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Carl Bernstein claimed that because he's Jewish, he could accuse "Jewish" neo-cons of talking George W. Bush into starting an "insane" war against Iraq. Joe Scarborough wasn't so sure.

Jewish neo-cons? The single most salient statement from the pre-war period was that by CIA Director George Tenet, who personally told President Bush that Saddam Hussein's possession of WMDs was a "slam dunk." So which temple does Tenet attend? What? He's Greek Orthodox? Never mind. Joe Scarborough offered a strong rebuttal to Bernstein's allegations.

Only crypto-Marxists use the term "neo-Con."

The term “neo-con” has always been a mask for anti-Semitism.

I thought “neo cons” was doggie whistle for Jews? Spooky code words used throughout “W”s time in the White House, then disappeared into the ether.

If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Ironically opposition to the Iraq war was around 2/3 according to polls at the time, the highest of any ethnic or religious group. Which doesn't prevent bigots on the left and right playing the Jews puppetmasters card. I've seen it many times here on FR.
