Exactly. I presume he represents that area, and that's the nature of the beast. (Pun intended.)

Well, he would have answered the same for Israel.

If dengleberry doesnt take sides against Hezballah, can we assume he also doesnt take sides against Hamas, the Taliban, or Al Quaeda?

Now THERE'S a question someone should ask him! I'd love to see him try to dance around that one!

Here is a link to the area he represents: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/findyourreps.xpd?state=MI&district=15

Dearborn and Ann Arbor are included in his district. I am in Plymouth, thank goodness.

"I don't take sides for or against Hezbollah; I don't take sides for or against Israel."

He managed to distill all the problems of the modern Democratic party into one sentence.....

Rather than vigorously standing up against evil, the cowardly politician panders so that he, personally, can get reelected.

I don't think Dingell is pandering to get elected. He really believes this.

You are dead on!

Jim Rob should make a thread of all those in our government who are thwarting a victory in the WOT. Starting with:
Representative John Dingell of Michigan
John Conyers, Jr. of Michigan
Representative Nick Rahall of West Virginia
Representative Pete Stark of California
Representative Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii

There are many socialists in the Democratic Party who should not be there if they are "To protect and defend the United States Constitution" which they do not, Ted Kennedy comes to mind, he thinks Judge Robert Bork's scholarly understanding of the U.S. Constitution was "inflammatory", an "extremist". Nancy Pelosi openly and proudly claims her Socialist standing; also a very wealthy woman using government contacts to further her wealth and will not or has not hired union labor for her many interests. Harry Reid, a fairly tall man who is actually a very little man with skeletons of corruption in his closets. What and Whoever, the list is long and very clear about a government of entitlements, more rules and regs, Socialist/Marxist leaning - slipping down the path to serfdom....and appeasement of the terrorists. Start the list in keywords..............

I am not a Dingell supporter, and he is definately not Israel's best friend. However, this seemed to be doctored to me. Politicians do not answer questions with one word answers. My guess is that there is more to the quote than on the video. I will do some research and find out.

Using doctored quotes to support our cause is stupid. There are plenty of quotes that are not doctored that work just as well.

Or the Aryan Nation...or Timothy McVeigh...or the Klan?

you are correct, the full answer is more nuanced.

ANCHOR: You’re not against Hezbollah?

DINGELL: No, I happen to be — I happen to be against violence, I think the United States has to bring resolution to this matter. Now, I condemn Hezbollah as does everybody else, for the violence, but I think if we’ve got to talk to them and if we don’t — if we don’t get ourselves in a position where we can talk to both sides and bring both sides together, the killing and the blood let is going to continue.

Thanks. You are quicker with the research than I. I don't care for his answer, even when complete. The attempt to make it sound worse is dishonest and it looks bad. This is more like the stupid things liberals do.
