Bloviating gasbag steps in it.

[KellyAdmirer]

The Democrat party is filled with anti-Semites, just as is liberal Europe.

[The South Texan]

Too much consuming going out there.

I wonder if this old goat will get the Trent Lott treatment by CNN, ABS,CBS and NBS and their comrades in Arms the NY and LA Slimes?

Doubt it!

[Jivana108]

Sounds like he is a little anti-semitic..... what a jerk.

[Lunatic Fringe]

Hollings voted in 2002 to give Bush permission to attack Iraq but later said he was misled

Misled by WHOM? Senator, you are one of the 100 most powerful people in the world, and you can't make an informed vote on military actions? The President is supposed to do YOUR job? No sir, that won't cut it... you get the SAME intelligence reports as the President. You can't cast a vote to gain support of conservative Southernors and then claim you were misled to please Southern liberals.

[veronica]

Sounds like he is a little anti-semitic....

Nah - he's just "anti-Zionist" and he does not like the "neo-cons." But he's not anti-semitic. /sarcasm

>>>>>>>Too much consuming going out there.

LMAO!!!!!!!

It sounds like he and Teddy K. closed the bar down. I think Hollings channeled Cynthia McNutjob on his last DT.

[NativeNewYorker]

The fact that Hollings' original article went utterly unremarked in the mainstream press tells you all you need to know.

They don't disagree with W.

They are on the other side.

IS IT TREASON YET?

[THX 1138]

Throughout his 38-year Senate career, Hollings, a Charleston Democrat, has apologized for remarks that have been decried as callous toward Jews, blacks, Japanese and other groups.

If he were a Republican, he'd have been gone a long time ago.

Abraham Foxman, president of The Anti-Defamation League, urged Hollings to renounce his latest comments.

“This is reminiscent of age-old, anti-Semitic canards about a Jewish conspiracy to control and manipulate government,” Foxman wrote in a letter to Hollings.

Foxman said he knows some will dismiss Hollings’ choice of words as simply Hollings being Hollings.

“To them we say one doesn’t take bigotry in stride,” Foxman said. “He is one out of 100 (senators). These are 100 of the most prominent people in the country. To hear such crudeness, such ugliness, such classical anti-Semitism. It’s sad.”

Finally Foxman gets a hit. Good.

Not "a jerk"

Evil

Dangerous

[meandog]

Der's too much Jewin' goin' 'round heah!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Why do these pukes continue to attract the majority of Jewish voters ?

[joesnuffy]

Which "Jews" would this be referring to anyway?....

[Piranha]

Finally Foxman gets a hit. Good.

I agree. I wish he would focus his concern on episodes like this one, and islamonazis, instead of fighting ghosts of antisemitism from decades if not centuries past.

Yes, it is what he get's paid for.

[dennisw]

Moron!!!

[Grampa Dave]

This POS, like Dirty Bird and most of the senior Rat senators, has been a racist and anti Israel/Jew all of his life.

However, since he hates GW, votes for abortion and gay rights, he will get a free pass on this as in the past.

What a waste of air this POS consumes each day of his vile life.
