"McCarthyism" Obamania style

So you are a democratic candidate for president and for some reason the Jewish community doesn't believe you are a friend of Israel's. What do you do?

You bring on Zbigniew Brzezinski, one time adviser to the America's favorite anti Semite, Jimma Carter.

So what does Brzezinski bring to the table for you. How about this one
It's not unique to the Jewish community -- but there is a McCarthy-ite tendency among some people in the Jewish community. 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."

Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous for those Jewish community types to think you might be hostile to Israel.

With friends like these, who needs friends.

I think he is going to be going after different voters and has already written off much of the Jewish vote.

I don't think he's written that constituency off. He was in Miami last week in an attempt to drum up support from the Jewish community.

If that is true, it seems as though he's chopping off huge pieces of the natural democratic groups.
