Don't ask, don't tell [details Jesse Jackson's anti-Jewish remarks](Rush's Accusers Part 5 of 5)

It's tough to imagine this year's Republican National Convention featuring a prime-time speaker who once said that that "Zionism is a kind of poisonous weed that is choking Judaism." Or that he was "sick and tired of hearing about the Holocaust." Or that traditional Democratic support for Israel is because of "the Jewish element in the party ... a kind of glorified form of bribery." And certainly not if he had ever referred to Jews as "Hymies" and New York as "Hymietown."

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, of course, has made all of these comments, and more.

Jesse, disrespecting Israel.

You may need a 20 part series just for Jackson. And while we are at it, let’s call these remarks what they are, Racist and Antisemitic.

Why post this article from 2000 now? Nothing much has changed with respect to black antisemitism, except that, in the age of Obama, it's more of a taboo in the MSM to talk about it. Wonder if Jake Tapper would right such an article today.

Correction:

I see you are now posting a series of articles on Rush's accusers. Can you please link me to the first 4 parts?

I don’t have the URLs, but if you do a title search for “Rush’s Accusers” or a search of my posts, you ought to find them. :)
