A caller on a C-Span interview program Monday complained about "all these Jews" having "way too much power" in America and pushing the U.S. into wars with the Muslim world. He found his comments echoed and expanded upon by the studio guest. Michael Scheuer, the former director of a CIA unit assigned to track down Osama Bin-Laden, calmly expressed the view that American soldiers are now dying in Iraq for the sake of Israelis. (snip) The interviewer for C-Span's Washington Journal program did not react to the blatantly anti-Semitic exchange. Several other callers praised Scheuer for his position regarding Israel, adding their own condemnation of the Jewish State and its supporters.
An excerpt of the initial discussion follows:
John (on the phone from Franklin, New York): "Good morning. I, for one, am sick and tired of all these Jews coming on C-Span and other stations and pushing us to go to war against our Muslim friends. They're willing to spend the last drop of American blood and treasure to get their way in the world. They have way too much power in this country. People like Wolfowitz and Feith and the other neo-cons - that Jewed us into Iraq - and now we're going to spend the next 60 years rehabilitating our soldiers. I'm sick and tired of it."
C-SPAN host (to Scheuer): "Any comments?"

-SPAN host: "You mean strategically?"
Scheuer: "Strategically. They have no resources we need. Their manpower is minimal. Their association with us is a negative for the United States. Now that's a fact. What you want to do about that fact is entirely different. But for anyone to stand up in the United States and say that our support for Israel doesn't hurt us in the Muslim world, or our support for Hosni Mubarak's dictatorship doesn't hurt us, is to just defy reality."
Earlier in the same interview, however, Scheuer made it clear what he felt should be done regarding Israel. In his opinion, the U.S. should "persuade" Islamic terrorists threatening America "to focus their anger" on Israel and on oppressive Middle Eastern regimes.
American Jewish Groups 'Hurt' Critics of Israel Scheuer also later elaborated on what he said is the way criticism of Israel is prevented.
A caller named Nicki from Maryland thanked him for his comments on Israel and asked, "Why is it that the United States does not want to talk about Israel?" Prefacing his remarks by asserting that "Israel has every right to do what it needs to do" to defend itself, including the development of nuclear weapons, Scheuer said that the U.S. has no real interest in either Israel or the Palestinian Authority. "That is a religious war in which we have no stake," he continued.
Scheuer: "Why don't we talk about that? Because AIPAC and other influential American Jewish groups are extraordinarily involved in the funding of American political campaigns and have the ability to reach out and make sure that people lose their jobs, or are otherwise hurt, if they dare to criticize Israel."
Scheuer went on to claim that he lost a job with the Jamestown Foundation think tank for saying that then-presidential candidate Barack Obama was "doing what I call the Tel-Aviv Two Step". As a result, he claimed, "the donors to that foundation" ordered that he be terminated.
The clown Scheuer was in charge of the Bin Laden desk at CIA under Clinton. That’s all you need to know about that crowd.
Amen!
Scheuer is also the “brains” behind rendition. But the left still loves him. Isn’t his 15 minutes up yet?
Ron Paul has been saying essentially the same thing for years now.
Anti-semites exist on both sides of the isle, just like anti-Roman Catholics or anti-whatevers.
Paul and this turd disgust me.
American jews will still give them 75% of their votes, heck they’d get a majority if Obama dropped nukes on Israel.
Leftists are leftists before anything else.
Yep explains why OBL was allowed to roam all over North Africa without a worry of being shot.
Explains clinton telling Sudan to let him go.
Isn’t this the guy that Michael Savage thinks is so damned wonderful. I understand that his book was one long anti-American, anti-Bush. I had read that somewhere. I haven’t actually read the book. Does anyone have any more info this?
So this coward basically says muslims hate Israel, so there we should drop all support of Israel and let the muslims attempt to crush them.
Nice, real nice. What a scumbag.
Scheuer and his friend Ron Paul have been spewing this antisemitism for years.
I didn’t know Ron Paul calls into CSPAN.
I hope Christians and Jews are paying attention.
Our Government has been and is in the hands of the deciples of the satanic cult call Islam.
Interesting that they feel SAFE in slithering out from their rocks about now.
To think that this stinking pile of cow manure was running anything in the CIA makes me want to puke.
Like I say, the CIA has been infiltrated by the enemies of the American People.
As has Pat Buchanan...
Ping...
Scheuer is an anti Israel scumbag.
“”That is a religious war in which we have no stake,” he continued...”
In truth, our elite no longer support democracy (they want a global government with socialist states) and Obama has been busy sticking his fingers in the eyes of all our democratic allies and bowing down to Kings and communists. Internationalists see no merit to American freedom versus Communist China. They see no speical merit in Israel versus the head chopper Nations that surround Israel. They see Christianity the same or worse than Islam.
With no secular argument for democracy and national sovergnity, why do we support and defend Israel? Because some isolated and hated Jews and conservative Christians want it? The world is up-side-down. What is good is evil and what is evil is good.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

GeronL gets it, Anti-semites exist on both sides of the isle, just like anti-Roman Catholics or anti-whatevers. , TheThirdRuffian American jews will still give them 75% of their votes, heck they’d get a majority if Obama dropped nukes on Israel. doesn't. Michael Scheuer, the individual under discussion (and one with whom I usually agree) is a lifelong Republican. While I think the GOP is far better in rejecting bigotry, I also recognize that the only 2009 candidate accepting the support of bigots was a Republican, so the issue becomes moot.
Don’t count on Jews in America supporting anyone doing harm to Israel including the Muslim Messiah.
Admittedly, there are Kapos in this White House and in this Congress. Not to rain on anyone’s parade, but the thugs in this White House and this Congress aren’t exactly thrilled with Christians or Jews or anyone that prays to God.
God will judge them accordingly; count on it. There are thousands of years of history to prove that.
