I have a request for people here more skilled than I. I read Lanny's piece in the WSJ concerning the remarks made against Joe Lieberman in Daily Kos. This particular statement "as everybody knows, jews ONLY care about the welfare of other jews" made by a Kos poster named TomJones, I have been unable to find in Daily Kos. Did they remove it or is this a fabrication of Davis? Please do not treat me as a troll. I want to use this in arguments and discussions, but if it never happened, I do not want to look foolish. I find that I do a well enough job of that already.8-)
Anyway, any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was pulled from Kos. They do that kind of stuff, although to be fair, FReeper comments can and do get pulled too.
I don't read the KOS but I've seen more than enough racism and bigotry at the DU to know that it's common.
I think the more important point is that Lanny Davis was being completely two-faced. He has no problem spewing the venom against conservatives, and he was a key architect of the Clintonista goon squad. But like Dr. Frankenstein, he is now aghast that the monster he created has turned on him and he can no longer control it.
If Lanny was moving his lips, yes, he was lying.
Lanny telling the truth would be breaking news.
Did he say it on a day that had a name that ended with a "Y"?
If you're a democrat troll you did a good job of hiding your self for over 6 years and posting all those ann coulter pics. So I'd say we're safe you're not a troll.
Without knowing much about it...I'd say it could be 50/50. Sure Lanny Davis could/would lie. But also Daily KOS may have pulled it to make Lanny look bad. They were all for defeating Liberman at all costs.
To me it doesn't really matter...the Rats are starting to eat their own. Just in time to decimate themselves for the election.
The bad news is the Republicans won't learn anything if their opponents keep imploding on themselves.
Got this from his site:
During the past few weeks, Davis spent some time sifting through anti-Lieberman posts. The posts he inserted into his column--three here on dKos and two on the Huffington Post--cover a range of dates from last December to last month, which means he's done enough cherry-picking to qualify for an honorary membership in the United Farmworkers Union.
One post that offended Davis, by tomjones, read as follows:
"as everybody knows, jews ONLY care about the welfare of other jews; thanks ever so much for reminding everyone of this most salient fact, so that we might better ignore all that jewish propaganda [by Lieberman] about participating in the civil rights movement of the 60s and so on"
An inexcusably ugly post to be sure, but tomjones is a relatively infrequent poster here, and has not put up a diary. And he represents exactly .001 percent of dKos membership.
The most famous example was when Mark whateverthehellhisnameis pulled his own comment about the death of several folks in iraq, referring to them as merceneneries, and a few others.
Its also no secret that daily kos has alot of anti-semetism, so the odds are, Lanny Davis here, was probably telling the truth.
I never thought about that - posting the AC pix. I guess that passes as my bona fides. Thanks for the minor laugh. 8-)
IS LANNY DAVIS A CLINTON LAWYER?
It may have been flat out deleted OR there is another thing called "hidden" posts. Users rate each others posts, and they may have all rated it down to "hide" it--meaning, with enough negative votes it becomes hidden. I don't know how to find hidden posts on Kos, though.
You didn't have to start a thread on this... you could have looked for it (took me two seconds):

I don't know. Were his lips moving?
Unfortunately, you are wrong. What you have posted is not the original post as quoted by Lanny Davis. In his WSJ Opinion column, Lanny quoted a "tomjones" from a post on Daily Kos posted 08/07/2006. What you posted I already found. I cannot find the original tomjones post.
If Lanny's lips were moving.....
Regardless of the percentage of KOS posters, I have heard the sentiment directly from democrats.
It's ironic, because the people I know who express this sentiment are blaming Israel and the Jews for making US unsafe (pun intended).
Also quoted in the WSJ today or yesterday.
Hint: here is as search sting to find such items on different sites.. type the following in google and hit search. change info for different sites/posters/etc.
