Jewish organizations condemned Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.) yesterday for delivering what they said were anti-Semitic remarks at an antiwar forum in Reston, where he suggested that American Jews are responsible for pushing the country to war with Iraq and that Jewish leaders could prevent war if they wanted to.

At the forum, attended by about 120 people at St. Anne's Episcopal Church on March 3, Moran discussed why he thought antiwar sentiment was not more effective in the United States.

Oh well, he apologized and there is no need to harp over it. We need to move on so we can get the country's business done. < /sarcasm >

Trent Lott was nearly crucified for making a similar off handed remark. Could it be there is a double standard when it comes to Republicans? </sarcasm>

[PBRSTREETGANG]

So when is he stepping down?

Oh, wait, he's a (D).

Nevermind.

Of course, nothing will happen to MORON because the DemonRATs are morally corrupt. I was astounded that there were any comments from the 'RATs, but I did notice that they were state-level and not national level. NOT 1 of his 'RAT colleagues in the Congress has condemned this comments.

"Surely Not"

Jim Moron forgot to blame the recession on the Jewish bankers.

Please, no ad hominem attacks.

What, you mean like the ones made on Trent Lott?

[Doctor Raoul]

Wonder if Moran gets his sheet tailored at the same place Byrd does?

[conservativecorner]

BUMP!!

[conservativecorner]

You mean like, "Rep. Moron is an anti-semite POS"?

[Kaafi]

Pro-Saddam Republican?!?!?!?!?!?!

How can that be?

"I made some insensitive remarks that I deeply regret"

Somehow I doubt he really regrets them, more likely he just wasn't thinking, which is why he is a Democrat.
