Anti-Semitic Democrat James Moran Meant It

Anti-Semitic Democrat James Moran Meant It March 11, 2003

My friends, how about the Democrat congressman, Virginia's Jim Moran, having a Trent Lott moment out there? Jewish organizations have condemned him. They did so for his delivery of anti-Semitic remarks at an anti-war forum in Reston, Virginia, where he suggested that American Jews are responsible for pushing the country to war with Iraq and that Jewish leaders could prevent war if they wanted to do so.

Moran said, "If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would not be doing this." Moran ought to call Tom Daschle and these other Democrats, because he's off message. I thought Democrats and some others think it's all about oil. Now Ariel Sharon and the Jews in America are responsible for this?

Moran apologized in a statement, saying, "I made some insensitive remarks that I deeply regret. I should not have singled out the Jewish community and regret giving any impression that its members are somehow responsible for the course of action being pursued by the Administration, or are somehow behind an impending war."

What do you mean you regret it? Insensitive remarks? There's nothing insensitive about this. You said it, congressman, and you meant to say it. Apologize for saying it, maybe, but don't tell us you didn't mean to say it. We're among the most informed citizens of the world, congressman. We will not fall for this kind of escape hatch.

"Anti-Semitic Democrat James Moran Meant It"

This is BS. As much as anybody saying that those who attack Powell are RACIST.

This vile pseudo-male is on the ballot on which I have to vote. You may defend this personal friend of Hillary but the two have almost everything in common.

I dislike the word anti-semite because Jews are by far not the only Semites so I will say that he surely has a low opinion of the Jews who, by the way, consistently help to vote him back in as obedient slave-like Democrats must.

Their complaints about abuse may be taken lightly in part because they won't use their own vote to defend against it.

Moron may be corrupt, superficial, a drunk, and have a loud mouth, but I doubt that he is an anti-semite.

MAJOR SEMAN
MS JAN AMORE
OJ REAMS, MAN
JAMS AN' MORE
AS MR OJ, AMEN
SO JAR MERMAN
OJ'S MEAN ARM
SORE JAM MAN
AN OS JAMMER

You're right... He's a strong supporter of palestinian arabs, who are also semites... He just hates Jews. Well, maybe "hate" is too strong... He just believes that Jews have too much power in the US, and need to be "properly controlled."
