Jewish leaders in Iowa tear into King's 'white supremacist views'
The Hill ^ | 10/30/18 | Chris Mills Rodrigo

Posted on 10/30/2018 8:24:45 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Jewish leaders from Iowa wrote a letter for the Des Moines Register Tuesday condemning Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) for white supremacist views.

Alan Steckman, president of Adas Israel in Mason City and John Pleasants, president of Ames Jewish Congregation, explained that they felt the need to respond in the wake of Saturday's shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh.

The two criticized King for using "funds from a Holocaust education organization to meet with a notoriously anti-Semitic propaganda site" as "shocking beyond any previous outrage."

They said that King's promotion of white supremacist ideology had previously gone unchallenged by many, and that that silence can "foster a climate that enables the kind of hateful violence that erupted three times in the last week."

"We call on all elected officials to stand with Iowa's Jewish community, denounce King's actions, and hold him accountable."

King has several contributors stop supporting him in the wake of recent comments, including Land O'Lakes, Intel and Purina.

A poll released Tuesday showed King with just a 1-point lead in the race over Democract JD Scholten.

The Cook Political Report also moved the race from "likely Republican" to "lean Republican," indicating the nonpartisan handicapper believes the race is tightening.

Is King’s race as tight as the Hill says, or do you have different numbers?

I see what they’re doing here. From Cortez running her mouth to this, the Left has exchanged ‘racist,’ which has lost all meaning, with ‘white supremist’. how not creative.

The answer to all of this is fairly simple, get Netanyahu to testify whether Israel is better protected when Republicans are in power, or Democrats.

I think we know the answer to that.

Also, Farrakhan — not our problem, their guy.

I’m white and I’m a nationalist.
I’ll make no apology for either, ever.

What anti Semitic website? What comments? What did he say? The reader is left to guess. This is the sort of hard-hitting journalism we’ve come to expect from The Hill.

I read an article on CNN that is more specific. They use guilt by association, dubious sources like SPLC and Politifact, and outright fabrications reported as fact to paint Steve King as an anti-Semitic new-Nazi terrorist sympathizer. For example, did you know that Soros’s bankrolling of leftist protests is now apparently an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory on the order of the Protocols of the Eldees of Zion? And that Faith Goldy is as bad as Hermann Goering?

This is a truly desperate tactic, but it sadly seems to be working with some weak-minded Republicans.

By the looks of a Donald Trump jr speech today, I don’t think the racism card is working as well as the Dems think it well. Pretty amazing reception for the son of a “white supremacist”.

Be that as it may, the media is getting to be as bad as the rejected social worker in Elvis Presley’s “Follow That Dream.”

The problem is there’s no judge to expose their duplicity for the audience.

Apparently the head of the GOP congressional campaign attacked him as well.

From what I've read of the interview, "the head of the GOP congressional campaign" needs to be fired immediately, with extreme prejudice.

The familiar pattern: Couple of Leftists announce themselves as representative of some aggrieved group (religious in this case, racial in others); they issue some pronouncement in the name of the entire body though they represent but a small sliver; the ever cooperative and biased press publishes their screed, blowing it out of proportion, and we are off to the races, discussing endlessly some grievous sin of some Republican.

There are all forms of Nationalism, that is why the English language has adjectives. If the word nationalism in an of itself was verboten then CNN and the left should denounce “Palestinian Nationalism” and “Tibetan Nationalism”.

This “get Trump for everything” is over the top and exposes the left’s hypocrisy every day. They don’t hate nationalism per se as the above examples demonstrate. They just hate Trump.

Not sure what ya mean. As a Trump supporter I’m attacked around the clock by high level government officials and the media, the same ones who’ve attempted to undermine, compromise and overthrow the President of the United States. So my point was I’ll attack back. Not letting anyone bludgeon or push me in some line without a response. I would suggest if they don’t subscribe to these leftist tactics, if they don’t go along with the leftist dogma, these people will do the same. That was my point. No one pushes you around unless you allow it.

Sorry for the triple post. Must be Trump’s hackers. Or Putin. Or both of them “colluding”.

” ‘white supremacist views’”

= Anything that is not ‘whitey hate’.
