Romney Criticized For Honoring Ford (Henry Ford's Antisemitism)

How many people knew this about Ford? I sure didn't.

The MSM is going to be going after Republicans worse than ever.

I remember when Clinton gave Fulbright the Presidential Medal of Freedom and called him his mentor and praised him. The MSM was largely silent about Fulbright's segregationist past.

[jtal]

Yeesh, what a reach.

[areafiftyone]

This is just plain silly.

[ClearCase_guy]

Of course, old Joe Kennedy directly supported Hitler, but who's counting?

[Alouette]

Old Henry would curl up and die if he could see this:

[Mount Athos]

Anyone else notice that the media has focused their attacks on Romney

[FormerACLUmember]

Associated Press hit piece.

[TitansAFC]

Every day, articles slamming McCain and Romney - from the MSM.

Every day, laudits and impressive campaign stories of Rudy -- from the MSM

Anyone get the sense the MSM has hand-picked our candidate?

LOL daily hit pieces on McCain and Romney; daily praises and adoration of Giuliani. LOL. MSM isn't too biased, is it?

[TexasCajun]

In other new:

The National Jewish Democratic Council has invited Jimmy Carter to be their Honorary Grand Poobah.

[Plutarch]

Allright, an AP hit piece!

The MSM has more acute RINOdar than we. Real RINO's don't get rinky-dink MSM hit pieces such as this. This proves that the MSM believes Romney is a conservative, and therefore must be roughed up.

It is a fairly well known thing...no criticism to you intended. However, if we discarded everyone's accomplishments due to a character flaw we wouldn't have anyone to honor. I put this in line with I can admire the work and accomplishments of a homosexual without needing to know they are one. And even if I find out they are does it really take away from the work I admired them for to begin with. Doesn't mean I agree with their views.

[FormerACLUmember]

Funny, I don't hear the Associated Press or the phony "National Jewish Democratic Council" discussing their leader in the Senate!

[msnimje]

I say we call out the Democrats for supporting Planned Parenthood which was started by a racist who wanted to limited the number of children born to "undesirables."

[SolidWood]

The media will beat on this 'til Romney is politcally dead.
Meanwhile the notoriously antisemitic Dems ala Carter and Co. get a pass.

[Ouderkirk]

More symbolism over substance.

[Reaganesque]

The council "is deeply troubled..."

That should read: The council "is deeply disturbed..." Mentally unbalanced would be another appropriate substitution.

How's about we point out that the council's offices are located on "stolen" Indian lands?

[weegee]

Jimmy Carter is making antisemitic statements THESE days and is not denounced for it.

So here they try to impugn Romney (R) because of a "gesture" in holding his announcement at a politically "questionable" location.

I expect there is a total boycott of Ford motor vehicles by Jews, no? If not, how can they denounce Romney for this?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Are there any Jewish Democrats who own a Ford, a Lincoln, a Mercury, etc. ?

It's been known for years -- at least since my history classes in college (circa. 1969-70). Ford didn't exactly have clean hands in De Fuhrer's Reign of Terror. Seems he sent a few bucks Hitler's way (See book: "Who Financed Hitler?") Sorry if you missed that major revelation in the 70's, but you live long enough, keep your memory and you hear and see it all. I didn't have the time to research beyond reading the book, so can't say if premise is true, or not. Many Jews say it is. I'd hang my hat more on Romney's relationship with Bibi Netenyahu and forget that Henry Ford (who died many years ago) may have had a yen for fascism.
