Jeb Bush Condemned Over Speech at Anti-Israel Conference
freebeacon.com ^ | March 20, 2015 | Washington Free Beacon Staff

Leading talk show host and best-selling author Mark Levin assailed Jeb Bush last night over the revelation that one of his top foreign policy advisers, James Baker, will keynote an anti-Israel conference this weekend.

The annual conference of the activist group J Street features an array of anti-Israel speakers, including proponents of the Boycott, Sanctions, and Divest (BDS) movement, which seeks Israel’s destruction, and advocates for the terrorist group Hamas.

Jeb Bush’s selection of Baker as a foreign policy adviser has sparked concern among conservatives and in the Jewish and pro-Israel communities. Baker is infamous for his hostility to Israel, having said during his tenure as secretary of state in the George H.W. Bush administration, “F—k the Jews, they don’t vote for us anyway.” Baker is also a supporter of President Obama’s Iran negotiations.

“This is the guy, the leading advisor to Jeb Bush on foreign policy, who Jeb Bush asked to be his leading adviser, and now he’s the keynote speaker to this left-wing hate group J Street,” Levin said.

If Jeb is clueless on who to appoint as advisors, why should we trust him with the Presidency?

I dont get it. Is he really trying to win the presidency? It seems like he’s trying to lose it.

[James Baker, will keynote an anti-Israel conference this weekend.]

Of course he will. When 9/11 came down, his law firm defended the Saudis.

Does anything more need be said?

Jim Baker has been anti-Israel since the Reagan years, but esp. afterwards.

There was an internal split/fight within the Reagan Administration between the Baker faction and the Meese faction over policies and staffing. Baker seemed to have won.

He’s still a son of a bitch and not trustworthy for anyone.

He’s trying to block conservatives, and party platform Republicans from gaining momentum and/or the nomination for POTUS.

He doesn’t much care about the actual outcome of the 2016 POTUS election, very much like the past two Republican candidates.

As long as a NWO progressive wins, he and his low info supporters will laugh all the way to the bank...

OK, this needs to go viral on the internet. I will Tweet it on my Twitter account shortly. James Baker has got to be close to 90 years old. That's the best Jeb Bush could do re: a Foreign Policy Advisor? Baker has always been hostile to Israel. Hell, as far as I know, Hillary isn't even showing up at this godless, liberal gig.

Like I say, this needs to go viral on the world-wide web. I'm not only Tweeting it, I am sending this link to every person on my Facebook and every person in my e-mail account.

I'm sure Bush is not clueless...Baker is an anti-American, anti-American sovereignty, One World Globalist...And Bush knows it...Birds of a feather flock together...

That is entirely possible...He wants to win the primaries perhaps so he can lose the election...

That does seem to be the pattern, doesn’t it? None of the horses the Republicans have bet on recently appeared to have had a chance at actually winning. I had to hold my nose to vote for them.

J-Street is a bunch of left-wing Jews. Levin has a way of being well over the top, and he is here.

What makes you think that I think he is the "decider"?

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm with Governor Scott Walker in 2016.

If Bush’s advisor is in with the BDS group ... Bush is “OUT” for me. It’s better that I know this now!

This is as bad as Governor Rick Perry tapping Haley Barbour from “Remember Mississippi”, as a consultant and BFF.

No offense was intended. Should have phrased it as “what would make one think...”

We're in agreement
