Kerry Stepson: Jewish Lobby Too Powerful
John Kerry's stepson, Chris Heinz, complained at a recent campaign stop that Jews have too much influence on the U.S. presidential election.
"One of the things I've noticed is the Israel lobby," the ketchup heir said, in quotes picked up Sunday by the New York Post. Heinz complained that Israel was being treated as "the 51st state, sort of a swing state."
In more overheated rhetoric first reported by Philadelphia magazine, Heinz called Bush supporters "our enemies" and said that if he ran his stepfather's campaign, the attacks on President Bush would get even uglier.
"We didn't start out with negative ads calling George Bush a cokehead," Heinz reportedly explained before adding, "I'll do it now."
Asked later about the comment, Heinz turned sarcastic, saying: "I have no evidence. He never sold me anything."
Gee, and we're always being told the anti-semites are all on the Republican side. That's good 'ol fashioned Jew-hating coming out of the mouth of Mr. Heinz. So much for the Democrats being such open-minded and tolerant people.
Ooops ... forgot about that.
Good point.
He should get along fine with Jessie Jackson and Hillary Clinton.
Who let this retard out of the attic or insane asylum where Mrs. Heinz-Kerry had him stashed? Karl Rove?
We won't hear a peep from Abe Foxman on this. If this was a GOP person, Foxman would be there with bells on.
Which may have been his point exactly.
pat buchanan is Kerry's Step-son?
What an idiot.
What sort of chemicals are the Heinz-Skerry camp mixing with their ketsup?
...and yet Jews will overwhelmingly vote for Kerry.
Scapegoat search? Will the evil Joooos be to blame if Kerry loses?
I don't understand how liberals can have such sympathy for anyone but Jewish folks and Israel. They will wring their hands in support of the "poor" Palestinians who are "forced to use their bodies as bombs in order to get justice". I also run into conservatives that have bought into some of the Anti-Semitic crap. Most don't realize that that Israeli Arabs have full voting rights. Here is a good article.

We need to give this guy as much rope as he can handle.
I'm not so sure this would sink the sKerry campaign. Israelis support Bush 2 to 1 but, by-and-large, American Jews are liberal socialists who don't give a crap about Israel.
I bet he is now a hero in Fritz Hollings eyes--- Hollings has been saying this on the Senate floor a lot since Bush became president.
He swears that the Bush doctrine is all based on kowtowing to the Israelis and that is not good in his eyes. He can get angrily anti-semitic on the Senate floor but they have some rule that allows the Senators to say anything there and not get in trouble.
Just think Chris Heinz would have the run of the White House and all of the jews as well as everyone else will be paying for his secret service men and all of the other perks of being a "first child". Are ya'll ready to puke yet?
Yeah, but the Democrats rely VERY heavily on wealthy Jewish donors for soft money. If that resource dried up, they'd be hosed.
I see a bright future for him in the Democrat Party.
Does anyone have the e-mail address for the Jerusalem Post? If this article could be e-mailed to them tonight, it would be in Tuesday's paper. It's read by Florida Jews religously.
Maybe Chris Heinz could marry young Ron Reagan and they could live in Mass.
