If this guy had a problem like "taxes" or some other money related questionable practice, Schmucky would have used his anti-semitism as a way to smudge over his own tolerance of it ~ must be an election coming up or something eh.
Anti semitism will is what Obama knows. The fact he even nominated this idiot is enough proof he is in the back burka pocket of the “kill all the jews” arabs.
As for Chuck “the schmuck” Schumer, I’ll give him credit for being pretty darn good at bringing down banks and nominees!
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

More of the usual suspect, rabid Zionists below. This was a bad appointment for a number of reasons, Israel being the least of them. And most important as evidence of Obama's poor judgement in choosing friends and associates, now extending to choosing the leaders of our nation, as well as his tolerance for bigotry in those around him. Were there any doubt, Freeman established his credentials as a Jew obsessive in the way he departed, ignoring the concerns over Saudi Arabia and China, and blaming it all on the Jews.

The Honorable Dennis Blair
Director of National Intelligence
Office of the Director of National Intelligence
Washington, DC 20511
Dear Director Blair:
During your nomination process, you indicated your understanding of the importance of clear and accurate intelligence analysis. You explained your understanding of the reasons behind the Iraq WMD intelligence failure and assured Members that one of your goals was to prevent such analytic failures in the future.
You also told the Committee that if nominated your "objective will be to ensure that the analysis produced by the Intelligence Community is objective and free of any political bias, whatever the issue or political climate might be" and said that "President Obama has made it clear ... that he expects independent analysis."
In light of your comments, we were surprised by your decision to appoint Charles Freeman as the next Chairman of the National Intelligence Council (NIC).
The NIC is responsible for providing policymakers with "the best, unvarnished, and unbiased information." Its Chairman leads this effort, is the Intelligence Community's most senior analyst, and is at the forefront of reforming analysis so that mistakes like the Iraq WMD failure are not repeated. Mr. Freeman has a distinguished resume, but his intelligence experience appears to be only as a consumer of intelligence-in other words, using intelligence for policymaking. We are unaware of another instance in which someone without years of intelligence analysis experience has been appointed to this position.
Also concerning-in light of the need for any NIC Chairman to have unquestioned objectivity and an ability to convey the Intelligence Community's judgments in a measured and non-provocative manner-are Mr. Freeman's highly controversial statements about China and Israel. While Mr. Freeman has since made efforts to clarify his remarks, one of the lessons of the 2007 Iran National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) is that an essential quality in leading the NIC is an ability to ensure that NIEs and other NIC products clearly and accurately convey the views of the Intelligence Community when they are published. Once a product is released it is too late to try to clarify the Intelligence Community's judgments.
At a time when the analytic community is continuing to struggle with reforming itself and when U.S. leaders, from the President to Members of Congress, have called for a depoliticization of intelligence, we believe this appointment sends the wrong message. The NIC, as the highest intelligence entity providing top level analysis, must represent the clearest level of analytic expertise, an expertise the rest of the government and the public must be assured is free from policy bias. Given our concerns about Mr. Freeman's lack of experience and uncertainty about his objectivity, we intend to devote even more oversight scrutiny to the activities of the NIC under his leadership.
Sincerely,
Tom Coburn

Chuckie Schumer is a “neoconservative” ?
