Does part of that portfolio include being so 'in your face' that you actually lose ground, when your false claims are exposed?

Who are you, and why are you attacking me?

I was being "flippant" because I believe that 1/3 of this country is STUPID ENOUGH to blame the Jews for all the problems in the world.

If you don't believe me, why should I care?

[OReilly]

If he truly was a balancing factor he would post "balancing articles" on every issue.

You Have missed my point.

Were you being flippant when you said you were a Zionist?

LOL ...

Am I getting the drift of this thread right, that the poster of this poll article consistently posts anti-Israel articles?

My wife is Jewish, but I'm not (and look like the Swede that I am). In my out-and -about, I occasionally come across a Jew-hater. From my personal experience the Democrats greatly outnumber the Republicans in these attitudes.

[NativeNewYorker]

34 percent of Americans agree that "Jews have too much influence on Wall Street," and 37 percent believe that the Jews were responsible for killing Jesus Christ.

An odd statistical tie.

Yes

I spoke to a number of JEws who were afraid when Gore chose Leiberman that their would be rioting.

My holocaust-survivor mom, rest her soul, was scared sh*tless when Greenspan was name Fed chairman.

And yet, jewish people continue to vote democrat.

And in overwhelming numbers... not this measly 34% ball park that we are talking about here. It has been close to 80% Democratic for over 30 years, despite the claims that it is changing.

And there are changes... real changes. Sharon and Bibi wear American and maybe even Bush pins on their lapel. Now that is a big improvement.

" 37 percent believe that the Jews were responsible for killing Jesus Christ.

I would like to see the wording of the original question on this.

There are lots of us who believe that all humankind, collectively (except for those of you who are sinless, of course) are responsible. So while we do not believe that the Jews are particularly or especially responsible, they don't get a free pass, either. So, yes, they are responsible, as are the Italians, Swedes, Arabs, Watusis and Navajos, etc., etc......

So there are many who are not anti-semites, who could give an answer that some, unaware of this distinction, might consider as anti-semite.

An extra hug and prayer to your mom.

When bubba chose all those jewish socialists for his administration I heard plenty of anti-semitic remarks and the ridicule heaped on Madame Halfbright for insisting she didn't know she was jewish were well deserved.

Some well spoken jewish conservatives with a high profile would surely help us.

I volunteer to assist Ann Coulter with her conversion mikvah. :)

Oy!

"One in four Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 believe that Jewish control of the media distorts the news".



That makes real sense....it's obvious the liberal news media are definatly pro palestinian and anti Israel. Are they sure the polled Americans and not Canadians?

[OReilly]

Am I getting the drift of this thread right, that the poster of this poll article consistently posts anti-Israel articles?

Not Exactly... More accurately, without this poster there would be an overwhelming preponderance of positive-only articles. This poster provides the needed balance.

For example we are up to 12-13 Billion in Special Israel Aid, being requested last week. Without RCW and a few others, no one would read it here.

Did you know that this 12-13 Billion, is all in addition to the usual 3 Billion that they have come to expect every year?

[Krafty123]

I would agree with the the article, to the extent that LIBERAL jews have to much influence (i.e. hollywood types ect.). Oh, and I am Jewish too!
