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!

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.

[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.

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

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.

[Paul_B]

> He also wrote that Bush “came to office with one thought — re-election. Bush felt tax cuts would hold his crowd together, and spreading democracy in the Mideast to secure Israel would take the Jewish vote from the Democrats.”

The man has lost his mind. Dem anger and hatred has gotten to him. He's overstepped on this one, big time.

[mware]

Do you have a link to the actual column? I have a friend who is a talk show host who might be interested in talking about this. I sent his the article but would like to have the actual column to send him.

[Slings and Arrows]

Too bad he's not running again. I'd've liked to vote against the mamzer.

[ClintonBeGone]

Funny how the liberal media spent so much time on the other Senator (Thurmond) from S.C.'s history and yet they continue to give this windbag a pass for his present behavior.

[zingzang]

I'm sure he'd love to speak his mind, no matter how feeble it is now, and say something like what LBJ said about blacks: "I love the negro, I just don't want him running the state!"

Perhaps Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton could give him some equally good things to say about Jews.

[hobbes1]

I didn't think that "Hey, Byrd was in the Klan, and Dodd openly endorsed that...." was really meant to be a "defense" per se....
