Actually, she's acted outrageously much more recently than that. According to P.J. O'Rourke's piece in the July/August Atlantic Monthly, she spoke from the podium at the Death to Israel "peace" hatefest at the Mall in D.C. on April 20th. As far as I know, she was the only member of Congress to appear at that predictably seditious rally, where one of the speakers called for globalizing the Intifadah.
I wonder why AIPAC is giving Majette only 5% of what it gave Davis. I suspect that Jewish groups, having made their point with Hilliard, have struck an agreement with the Black Congressional Caucus not to defeat any other of its members this year. After all, the power of those Jewish groups, just as much as that of the Black Congressional Caucus, depends on the success of the Democratic Party.

Didn't even click into the links in #33 did you?
Don't like Howard Phillips and the Nation Magazine? From the Washington Post:
Tempelsman Plan Got The Ear of US Aides
A goody: Angola, smuggled diamonds, Tempelsman , UNITA, Lebanese Hezbollah and Amal terrorists:
The Russian connection:
Diamond dealer turns peacemaker
Still think it is "too loony even for the Art Bell Show" to suggest powerbrokers in the Democrat party are not pleased with McKinney going after Tempelsman?
DeBeers & friends is an illegal monopoly. Oppenheimer and Tempelsman conspire to fix prices. During WWII, it took FDR threatening to cut off aircraft shipments to the UK before Oppenheimer would sell America even a fraction of the industrial diamonds we need for our war effort (and he changed the grading system of the boart he did sell to jack up prices). At the same time, Oppenheimer was strangely unable to halt shipments of boart to Nazi Germany. Hitler received tons of it. The war would have been over at least a year earlier had Oppenheimer stopped the trade (and he had the power to do it...imho) Odd for a man who owned the mines those industrial diamonds came from.
After WWII, the U.S. government went after DeBeers and they pulled out of America. Tempelsman was anointed as DeBeers front in America. He should be indicted. He doesn't compete with DeBeers as he claims. He is a partner with DeBeers.
Aside from all that, the diamond trade feeds the Democrat party. And by giving oil leases to the Kennedy brats, Tempelsman has set up the family for another 50 years of screwing with America. That alone is enough to despise the stones.
But you explain to me why you don't want the Democrat party tearing itself up over this. Explain why you want a person in McKinney's seat who will make Tempelsman life easier.
Knocking out Hilliard over Israel didn't help the GOP. He was against gun control and voted with the GOP on religious issues. Now we have a Harvard liberal in there who will vote against conservatives on both issues.
Hhahhahahha... Never heard you complain about OPEC. But then there are no Jews in OPEC. The "illegal" OPEC monopoly impacts America a lot more than diamonds

Right. Your opinion only. You have no facts on that one.
Odd for a man who owned the mines those industrial diamonds came from.
That is you take from leftist websites no doubt.
Here is what others say>>>
...a former head of the CIA, Admiral Stansford Turner, in an article published in the Washington Post on 18 October 1988. 'We should not forget that during World War Two the De Beers diamond mining company that is part of the Oppenheimer empire refused to sell the US a large quantity of industrial diamonds for war production.'
Sir Philip Oppenheimer, Ernest Oppenheimer's brother and a director of De Beers, angrily retorted in a letter to the editor on 2 November 1988: 'Our records show that strenuous efforts were in fact made by De Beers to ensure the availability of war supplies. Notwithstanding the inevitable increase in demand, our prices were maintained at the levels that had applied during the pre-war period. Furthermore sales of industrial diamonds during the war years were carried out through London under the supervision of the British government and it defies belief that the British government would have permitted a company under its jurisdiction to act in a manner that would have hampered war production in any way. The insinuation by Mr. Turner that De Beers acted in such a way is not only totally unsubstantiated, but also deeply offensive to a family that was profoundly affected by the War.... the family also suffered the disappearance of relations who were living in Germany at the time.... I wish to counterbalance the implication that people vitally involved in the defeat of Hitler would have taken commercial decisions that might have impeded this overriding objective.'
After WWII, the U.S. government went after DeBeers and they pulled out of America.
Bottom line is DeBeers supplied industrial diamonds to the USA during WW2 but refused to supply enough for the USA to build up a huge stockpile. This would have hurt the DeBeers diamond business with an overhang that could be dumped at any time. DeBeers wanted to maintain a monopoly and last I looked is a South African company. Not a US one.
Tempelsman was anointed as DeBeers front in America. He should be indicted.
Why? Because you say so? LOL!!!
He doesn't compete with DeBeers as he claims. He is a partner with DeBeers.
He was never charged with this. If the US wanted to punish DeBeers we could always have punished Templesman. Never happened. I wonder why.
Aside from all that, the diamond trade feeds the Democrat party. And by giving oil leases to the Kennedy brats, Tempelsman has set up the family for another 50 years of screwing with America. That alone is enough to despise the stones.
Yeah sure. There is always a Jewish fellow behind it all.
Are you not bright enough to realize that almost all Jews in the United States are US citizens and are *not* Israelis?
