Did Former Powell Aide Wilkerson Just Threaten Schumer for Supporting Israel?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/14/2015 5:51:45 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

You're a TV show host, and your guest has just suggested he'd like to "do something" to a sitting US senator such that he doesn't even want to describe it on air. Think you might challenge him about it? Not if you're Ed Schultz.

On this evening's Ed Show, renegade "Republican" Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Colin Powell and a big supporter of President Obama's Iran deal, was complaining about Democrats who have questioned the deal. According to Wilkerson, the problem is people who are too "enamored about the State of Israel." Singling out Chuck Schumer, Wilkerson said "you've got guys like Chuck Schumer, whom I'd like to -- I won't say what I'd like to do to Chuck."

Israel seem to have become some sort of “Evil Empire”. Most of our political elite despise Israel, and any member of the elite who doesn’t despise Israel is met with scorn.

Amazing.

Meanwhile, these same people are hoping that Iran gets a nuclear weapon.

Does a tree make a noise, if it falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it?

If Ed Schulz and Lawrence Wilkerson say something, will it be heard if no one is watching the show?

(I'm trying to get a job as a philoserr, er, philopsher, uh, a phiposlog...you know, some one that inspires deep thoughts.)

Expect to see more baiting of Republicans like this as the election approaches.

LAWRENCE WILKERSON: For a number of reasons, and the number one reason is Israel. You've got guys like Chuck Schumer, whom I'd like to -- I won't say what I'd like to do to chuck. You've got people who are so enamored about the State of Israel that they're beginning to fall off this in any fashion or form if it looks the least bit like there might be a problem.

I’m sure schumer is just quaking in his boots scared breathless by some stupid assed threat from some punk former assistant to another punk that’s got no portfolio and no visible prospects of ever getting one. Fear overwhelms us all. (Ps: I’m sure schumer knows how to say KMA, too. If there’s one thing we know about schumer for sure its that he’s no coward when it comes to politics or dealing with scum )

Progressive Commies have always hated Israel, if they could they would dig up Hitler just so he could continue throwing Jews into ovens..they see Israel as the enemy and they think that if Israel were gone, that the middle east wouldn’t be on fire like it is now..its the “Its the Jews fault for all the war in the world” mentality..we have been blamed for thousands of years for everything so nothing surprises me anymore

Yup. They do think like that.

And they ignore 1500 years of constant Muslim encroachment on neighboring countries. They were in Spain! They invaded France! They held Greece! They besieged Vienna!

But, if Israel were gone, everything would be cool ...

The left has a bond with Muslims not because they consider Muslims to not be a “protected class” but because for the most part, Muslims despise America as much as the left does, so for that alone they share a bond..the left and Muslims both want a caliphate..if the left for once actually analyzed the Koran instead of trashing the Bible they would see that the Koran represents everything that they supposedly hate, but when it comes to Muslims, they can pretty much do whatever the heck they want to

Powell is a traitor who voted for his race twice, instead of America.

Some of them blame Jews for this or that. But when u look at their proposals they almost always would lead to the mass slaughter of the remaining Jewish people , or at the very least — rendering them unable to defend themselves against another murderous onslaught. Same result - millions more lampshades . Which would be far far far far far out of proportion for almost any of them can even imagine to blame “The Jews” for. And they reject out of hand any possible alternatives. So there’s only one possible conclusion — they want to kill “the Jews” period end of file. It has little or nothing to do with anything other than — deep inside they just want to kill- or set up conditions for others to kill - as many Jews as they can. And thus, there’s absolutely nothing anybody can do to negotiate with them or to appease them or assuage them or compromise with them or work anything out with them. Unless the Jews agree to commit suicide. Which, regrettably, half of America’s Jews are doing quite well - needlessly and tragically so. But most of the Israelis have wisened up and aren’t playing that game. Obama can pee in his pants as long as he likes - Israel ain’t going anywhere.

Someone made a comment earlier today that the Left see Muslims as “shock troops” — Muslims will ruthlessly do the things that the Left dreams of doing. Chopping off heads? Destroying villages? Leftists academics want to do that stuff, but they don’t have the stomach for it. The Muslims? Oh, they’re happy to oblige.

And the Left and the Muslims hate the Judeo-Christian culture which underpins Western Civilization. That shared hatred binds them together.

Apparently to antiSemitic “Republican” Lawrence Wilkerson
the ISIS base in Mexico just off Texas, and the Iranian
terrorists being brought in by the hundreds
are GOOD THINGS — as is stabbing long term allies
in the back.

if Jews were not blamed for things Hitler would never have succeeded..he blamed the bad economy on “Rich Jews” and it worked..he was able to convince people that if Jews were wiped off the face of the earth it would make their lives better..its a sick way of thinking but that kind of thinking is still around today..when all else fails, blame the Jews
