Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security adviser to Hamas-hugging Jimmy Carter during his disastrous presidency, is now a foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama.
Brzezinski says that the Jewish Lobby is too powerful in the US, and uses the media to shut down criticism and influence the government.
Antisemitism, anyone? Oh, I forgot, you’re not allowed to say that—since Brzezinski uses the classic preemptive excuse, claiming that the charge of antisemitism is equal to McCarthyism.
Mr Brzezinski has been accused of being “anti-Israel” by some Jewish academics, writers and bloggers after criticising Israel for excessive use of force and unwillingness to compromise.
Last year, censure of him reached new heights when he defended John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, two academics who had criticised the pro-Israel lobby and were accused of questioning the right of the state of Israel to exist.
Mr Brzezinski said “it’s not unique to the Jewish community – but there is a McCarthyite tendency among some people in the Jewish community”, referring to the Republican senator who led the anti-Communist witch hunt in the 1950s.
“They operate not by arguing but by slandering, vilifying, demonising. They very promptly wheel out anti-Semitism. There is an element of paranoia in this inclination to view any serious attempt at a compromised peace as somehow directed against Israel.”
Although Mr Brzezinski is not a formal day-to-day adviser and stressed he doesn’t speak for the campaign, he said that he “talks to” Mr Obama.
He endorsed the Illinois senator, lauding him as “head and shoulders” above his opponents. He said that he was the only candidate who understood “what is new and distinctive about our age”.
How many anti-Israel foreign policy advisers have to be outed on Barack Obama’s staff, before people are willing to realize that there’s something bad going on there?
Antisemitism, anyone? Oh, I forgot, you’re not allowed to say that—since Brzezinski uses the classic preemptive excuse, claiming that the charge of antisemitism is equal to McCarthyism.That's right. And if you call Obama an anti-semite, you're guilty of racism.
In fact, if you don't vote for Obama, you're guilty of racism.
In fact, even if you DO vote for Obama, if you're white, you're guilty of racism.
If you're white, the ONLY way you can NOT be guilty of racism is to vote for Obama AND pay reparations.
Although that still won't make you "not guilty of racism", but it's the least you can do to atone.
Zbig is just another Carter clone. Carter has betrayed Israel when he talked about the 150 nukes and now Zbig will probably have Obama betray Israel the first time he can.

Not surprisingly, Brezezinski doesn't mention either what B-HO uniquely understands about our age or what's "new and distinctive" about the age itself.
One thing that's new and distinctive about it is the level of threat that Islamic terrorism poses. Those whose goal is to destroy Western civ. have upped the ante considerably.
Obama's (and Brezezinski's) solution: appeasement and de-militarization.
McCain's solution: the annihilation of our enemies.
I don’t care he sucks big time.
