This article by Safire struck a nerve, for so many Dims to be whining about it. The article in the NYTimes also has a thread:

Democrats vs. Israel

Yeah, but where was Safire when Moslem terrorists were threatening Serbia and Russia? Why, taking sides with the Moslem terrorists! So, he loses the moral high ground.

"Eight out of 10 American voters who are Jewish have been voting for candidates of a Democratic party that now only tepidly supports the government overwhelmingly chosen by Israelis."

Are the "American voters who are Jewish" American? I hope so, because there is a hint in this article that they care about some foreign country almost as much or more than they care about the country they should view as their own.

Safire's piece was stupid. I think Safire's best days are behind him.

Democrats are not Americans they are agents of socialism. At every turn they fight back progress and independence,Democrats are the friend of the palestinian terrorists. Democrats warned of body bags before the gulf war. Democrats warned of body bags before Afganistan. Democrats like Arabs. Democrats are our worst citizens they cheat on their taxes more than republicans.Most of the people in hell were democrats or communists. Democrats are more likely to cheat on their spouses, speed, drink until drunk and be homosexuals.

"American Jews have given their overwhelming support to the Democratic Party — and will continue to do so — because of the Democratic Party's strong support for the separation of church and state,reproductive rights, environmental safeguards, and — indeed — for the Democratic Party's strong and unwavering support for a safe and secure Israel, regardless of which party governs the State of Israel," the release said.

What an incredibly racist thing to have said!

Could it really be true that ALL people of Jewish decent are unwavering adherents to the Democratic Party's positions on "the separation of church and state,reproductive rights, environmental safeguards". Do Democrats all hold that Jewish voters are "mind numbed robots"?

I said at the time that I thought this one would get Safire into trouble. Usually he is the tame conservative on the OpEd page. He hasn't said anything to enrage his masters like this since he called Hillary a "congenital liar."

Here is the reason why even Rat/Mole Safire is coming around on this issue: (85% of Jewish Americans are backing GW)

The Pro Arab/terrorist stances of the Rats need to be dragged out into the light of the day like rabid pit bulls to expunged.

Da$$hole's blocking the vote to drill for oil in ANWR means that the Opecker Princes will continue to have Petro $'s to finance terrorism and the murdering of innocent Israelis! It had nothing to do with enviromental stuff.

It will be fascinating one these days to see all of the money that has flowed from the Opecker Princes to the Da$$holes, Finesteins, Gephardts, Clintoons, other rats, and the enviral nazis, the past two decades.
