Gerlanter's article reminds me of the joint birthday party I had with my relatives -- also Jewish. They were saying things like
Pres. Bush was the worst President ever; etc. Yours truly spoke up and said that Pres. Bush was doing a good job and had already won two wars in the mid east. The rest of my Jewish relatives told me to shut up and said I was an instigator. I finally said in exasperation that Pres. Bush is taking a lot of heat for not stabbing Israel in the back over this Hizbollah war and I beseeched my relatives to cut the guy a little slack.
My relatives were also of the opinion that Ann Coulter was beautiful but vicious. Of course I related how during my protests against the Left I wear my Ann Coulter t shirt and they said what do you expect?
And how did your parties with your Liberal relatives go?
