Yes, Freeman is showing his true colors by blaming the "Israel lobby" for forcing him to withdraw.

But the fact is we don't really know why he was forced to withdraw.

My guess is that this lefty Ben Smith at Politico is spinning this story to make readers believe that such is the case, perhaps on orders from the O WH. By doing so, he is perpetuating the myth that the Obama folks are pro-Israel, the same myth that they were spreading to the Jewish (and pro-Israel) community during the campaign last year.

One might suspect that the fear of the slowly revealing tangling web of 'oil money ties' is involved in his withdrawal...

It's great that Freeman is out. But it's very frustrating that "pro-Israel liberals" are still beating their chests and claiming that Israel, like Chavez, the Sandinistas, the perverts, and the don't-drill-for-oilers belong to their side of the spectrum. These people are the opposite of Pat Buchanan. He thinks Arabs are the only good Communists while they think Arabs are the only bad Communists. Barring the arrival of Mashiach (may he come speedily) I fully expect the liberal claim to exclusive rights to the pro-Israel position will last beyond my own lifetime. Still you never know.

But you know, it's strange that one man is buddies with both Communist China and Saudi Arabia, two powers supposedly on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. But it seems that as Communist China morphs ever so gradually into a militant, nationalist authoritarian regime that Saudi Arabia morphs into an international radicalizer of the "dispossessed."

I actually buy the story that "the Israel lobby" was behind Freeman getting thrown under the bus, in the sense that the pressure came largely from pro-Israel activists and politicians. The difference is that I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

There is nothing nefarious about a pressure group using its influence to change policy. That's what democracy is about.

Here, the "Lobby" succeeded in getting a crackpot kicked out. And not just an anti-Israel crackpot. A guy who criticized the Red Chinese for being too EASY on democracy protestors. Way to go "Lobby!"
