Yeah, that’s amazing! /s

If most Lithuanian Jews are Orthodox, and presumably conservative, then it makes Hersh's betrayal all the more extreme and his parentage even more relevant.

Suppose we had taken in a married couple from China who had fled the Nanking massacre. Suppose they had been very grateful and pro-American. But their son grew up to be an anti-American journalist who never missed an opportunity to accuse our nation of the vilest crimes. If that were the case, his parentage would be a relevant point for discussion.

Michael Moore was born into a typical white bread family in the suburbs, so nobody makes much of a deal about it. Not because of racism, but because many Americans of long lineage take our freedoms for granted. But if someone is an outspoken anti-American, and their parents came here seeking freedom from oppression, and were welcomed here, it's a relevant point because it shows just how despicable the turncoat is. He, of all people, should know better. And if his parents were conservative and pro-American, he's betrayed them as well as his country, and is even more despicable.

The 2008 election has been over for months, but the media are still sneering about how the GOP’s strongest support came from white, protestant Southerners. They then proceed to argue that such voters are just a horrible, horrible base for a party to have. They simply aren't as good, or as divinely moral, as blacks, Latinos, and Jews.

indeed...known Christian social conservatives whether Southern or Mormon or otherwise in the media, politics or Hollywood are often singled out for being that....

btw, now that you mention Michael Moore, he is a real turd and I do take offense with Union Man style northern crackers and their proclivities

This story has no credibility except to discredit credible people that don’t exist for a reason.

Excellent comments...and right on.

However - don't expect a response from Dubyfive.
He/She appears to have behaved as the Leftist Kool-aid swilling “drive by media” — run into a room, leave a steaming turd on the table and disappear.

Once they have recited the speaking points, charges or insult - they are INCAPABLE of participating in a discussion to arrive at the TRUTH or a rational resolution.

Just a note :

Hersch denies he ever said this, and the source of this article is Iran’s PressTV.

No fan of Hersch but PressTV’s credibility is even lower than his.
