Dean: GOP Makes Jews Uncomfortable

The head of the Democratic Party said Wednesday that unchecked U.S. reliance on foreign oil helps fund terrorists and the nation must address its energy needs in a way that creates jobs.
Howard Dean, in a speech to the American Jewish Committee, said new industries should emerge to develop alternative fuel sources. The other option, he said, is continued support of Islamic schools that teach hatred of the United States and Israel.
"We are committed to ending our standing while our oil money (provides) indirect funding of fundamentalist Islamic schools all over the world," he said.
Dean took a swipe at the Republican Party, saying the Democratic Party is one of inclusion and religious freedom.
"I was recently asked about the difference between the Democratic and Republican parties," Dean said. "When it comes right down to it, the essential difference is that the Democrats fundamentally believe it is important to make sure that American Jews feel comfortable being American Jews."
Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, who is Jewish, addressed the group on Tuesday.
Dean decried energy industry subsidies, suspected price gouging and what he called a lack of leadership in Iraq. He also said any confrontation with Iran should be handled in a better way than the one with Iraq.
"Iran will not be permitted to develop nuclear weapons - period. They threaten the world. They threaten the United States of America," he said.

Like Hillary, Dean takes a talking point from each of the following: the hard left, the left, and the center. Let them go at it. Pretty soon neither will be able to remember what they said yesterday.

"Iran will not be permitted to develop nuclear weapons - period. They threaten the world. They threaten the United States of America," he said. Of course they won't be allowed to develop nukes, Howie. Your guys aren't running the response.
This guy could make a WASP go "Oy!" In fact, since I happen to be a WASP I think I'll do exactly that.
Oy!

Yeah. Republicans make Jews uncomfortable.
That's rich, considering the Left has agitated for the Palestinian and Arab fascists for decades.

"When it comes right down to it, the essential difference is that the Democrats fundamentally believe it is important to make sure that American Jews feel comfortable being American Jews."How many Americans see this as the essential difference between the parties?
Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, who is Jewish, addressed the group on Tuesday.
Ah, another of those "We know better how to treat the Jews than do the Jews" moments.
