Perhaps the Breck Girl heard "biggest threat to appeasement..."

[razorback-bert]

Will all my liberal Jewish friends please take note?
opie KNOWS there is an anti semetic streak in the rat party and he's trying to lock it up.
WAKE UP LIBERAL JEWISH DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!, WAKE UP!!!!!!!!

"Would someone please explain to me why so many Jews support the Democrats blindly."

In part, because of the success of the left to characterize fascism as 'the political right out of control". This is not true, of course, but it has been so ingrained in our society that it is taught as a truth. I prefer to think of the political spectrum along the lines of 'individualists' vs. 'power centralizationists'. Clearly fascism and communism/socialism share the same penchant for the centralization of power in the few, for the supposed 'benefit' of the many (e.g. Hillary's remark that 'We are going to take things from you for the greater good'). Not surprisingly, both approaches lead to totalitarianism. Still, the leftists have gotten away with parading themselves as the protectors of the people. We've let them do this.

There's history at work there too. Back when the Country Club Republicans would not let Jews join their clubs, the democrats welcomed them. There were a number of Jews in Democratic administrations, e.g., Bernard Baruch under Pres. Wilson. However, I saw the turn in democratic politics against Israel during the 1970s because Israel was allied to the U.S.A. during the Cold War. We may need to sew a new awning on our Big Tent to shelter the Jewish liberals who are interested in joining the GOP. As we say in Texas, "Shalom, Y'all".

[AliVeritas]

Too many hair products. I bet if he could, he would raise all the martyrs from the dead so they could kill again.
Dumb POS. I gotta have this video.

[AliVeritas]

Didn't you see the photoshops? Hasidim. s/

[AliVeritas]

This is the scary part...

He'll strut to the biggest Jewish coalition he can find, be applauded and welcomed.

[chilepepper]

because they have a death wish and are so angst ridden that they feel *they* should have died at Auschwitz, and are trying to make it so as quickly as possible...

[Gumdrop]

This guy may be a slick lawyer, but he is dumb as a tree stump. He insults all Jews who are in support of Israel, and fails to fire two anti-Catholic bigots. It's clear that Edwards is a hard-core leftist nut case.

[Calvin Locke]

...and this schmuck points the finger at Israel?

Because the majority of honest and rational people would not vote for a sleazy, and hypocritical lawyer.

Ergo, he has to play to the corrupt, the mindless, the mind-numbed, and the irrational.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Well using my favorite Yiddish term:"Edwards is a schmuck"

[There's millions of'em]

Bingo.

Many of the lib jews I know hold similar opinions.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

"There's history at work there too."

Undoubtedly. Thanks for pointing this out. You bring up the tremendous importance of self-examination, and willingness to be self-critical. There are lots of ways we can do better, and we must.

[chiefqc]

Hey jonnie calm down get your nails done and buy a new dress you'll feel much better.

[Islander7]

OK, I'm gonna get flamed on this, but he is technically correct.

The PALS, Hizz, Syria, et al, will go bezerk if Israel hits Iran. Those are the short term consequences.

In the long term, Saudis, and other Arab states would breathe a big sigh of relief. They may make a lot of public noise, but they are petrified of the possibility of Iran with nukes.

I am certainly not a fan of the Medical Marauder, Edwards, or any of the dems. Just offering a point of view.

[Sword_Svalbardt]

Ah! Com'awn! Bust out an Isreali nuke!

How about Liberalism is a cult where you use the people below you and attack those above you.
