I would think that a Robertson endorsement of Giuliani and Giuliani's welcome of it would greatly outweigh anything about the others you have listed....RJC is free to host who they choose at their debate. But they aren't free from criticism over the extremely strange standards they impose on who to exclude and include....So if RJC ends up endorsing Giuliani (almost certain), will Giuliani's embrace of Robertson make RJC completely irrelevant? I would think so....I'm trying to figure out whether RJC, Giuliani, or Robertson is the most dishonest in this episode. It's pretty amazing to me.

Of course the RJC is open to criticism for not inviting the minor candidates, Paul, Tancredo, and Hunter. I'm sure they would like to have been there, and I understand their criticism.

As to the further criticism from the Paul campaign that this was part of an RJC plot, a couple publications suggenting in concert with David Horowitz/Frontpagemagazine, Paul's cultists get to make that criticism too.

And guess what, I'm allowed to dismiss it as typical of the nutball conspiracy theories which issue from Paul and the folk. And I suppose the Paul truthers can point out that Hunter and Tancredo are too stupid to see the RJC conspiracy in front of their noses or some other such nonsense.

I will again note your clearly anti-Republican sentiment in dismissing the Republican Jewish Coalition as a miniscule organization, not worth consdering in the context of accepting Jewhater support. Which the Republican Party does not do, one candidate does.

No, he doesn't welcome their support or encourage it.

As for the size of RJC, just how many members do they have? How much money do they donate (it's a tiny fraction of what Jewish organizations give Dims)? And how many voters can they muster in the early primary states (including Florida where their voting power will be reduced by half due to the RNC punishing them for moving up their primaries)?

As for the GOP and your selective outrage, I will point out again that these same hate groups latched onto Pat Buchanan in the 2000 race, sure they had found their man. He proved them wrong by selecting a black woman as his VP candidate. They promptly fled to supporting Bush and they did participate in the Battle for Florida when Black, the St*rmfr*nt leader (and his young son who ran St*rmfr*nt For Kids) both went at least one of the 2000 rallies in Floriduh including Black leading the group who drove Jesse Jackson off the stage at one of the big pro-Gore rallies. Bush also received support from the leader of Christian Identity and other notorious racists. So why aren't you applying the same standard to Bush/Cheney that you try to apply to Ron Paul?

As I said, your outrage and memory are mighty selective.
