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.

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.
