A veteran confidant of Hillary Clinton has waded into a bitter argument over the explosive topic of Israel, defending his son’s intensely anti-Israel book from a liberal critic.

Sidney Blumenthal, a former New Yorker writer turned Clinton adviser from the White House to the 2008 campaign, has been waging an online campaign against Nation columnist Eric Alterman for negatively reviewing his son Max Blumenthal’s book, Goliath. The book was described by Alterman, himself a frequent critic of Israel, as “awful” and something that “could have been published by the Hamas Book-of-the-Month Club (if it existed).”

Clinton Foundation officials refused to respond to questions of whether the elder Blumenthal is currently on a Clinton payroll.

Just a reminder of the kind of friends hang around Hitlery.

Sid, the good friend of Hillary, is the guy who told the Washington DC Bureau chief of McClatchy news that Obama was born in Kenya.

Now THAT's funny.

What is it about Israel that these elite, liberal, East Coast, self-hating Jews despise so much?

Ask Soros ... you’ll probably discover self-loathing!

[Mr. Mojo]

Both Obama and the Clintons are quite fond of Jew-hating Jews like Blumenthal.

And that’s because they share the same hatred.
