>> Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER), has stated that it will not allow a "pro-Israel" speaker to take the stage -- despite the fact that Rabbi Lerner has been an outspoken critic of Israeli policy in the occupied territories, has endorsed ANSWER's antiwar rallies in the past, has signed the Not in Our Name petition against the war, and is widely known to be among the most progressive of American rabbis.<<

He is barred by A-N-S-W-E-R because he is a J-E-W.

So we have established two things: first that the anti-War movement is really an anti-American movement and by extension an anti-Semitic, anti-Israel movement. That is no surprise to anyone paying even the least amount of attention.

Including certainly Rabbi Lerner. He seems an intelligent if totally misbegotten soul. Has he listened to any of the invective at previous anti-War rallies? Does he know who the organizers are? Does he have any idea of what these "anti-war" leaders really believe in?

Rabbi Lerner is guilty of nothing more than not doing his homework and knowing what his "antiwar friends" really believe. He desperately wants to speak and support a rally that is at its core anti-American and anti-Semitic and now he rails because.. well.. because they are acting in an anti-American and anti-Semitic way.

I have some advice for you Rabbi. Maybe you should try associating with a better class of people.

So Hillary's old pal Lerner continues to be, first and foremost, an Orthodox Leftist... what an ideological tool. Lenin may as well have said, "When the last liberal Jew is hung, he will consecrate the rope."

How fools like this can be suffered is beyond my comprehension.

This is funny.  Not that anti-semitism is funny, it's just that it's funny to watch what the allies of the Democrats do.  Course it's not funny to see them get away with it.  The media gives them such a pass, that not only do they not get condemned for what they do, the media doesn't even make the rock solid connection between this organization and the Democrat party mainstream.

Who speaks from the platform at these rallies?  Why bless my soul if it isn't the largest contributors and vociferous supporters of the Democrat party.  Little Susie Sarandon shows up to vent her wrath.  Clark Clifford shows up.  Union officals show up.  The Sierra Club shows up.  N.O.W. shows up.  The homosexual lobby shows up.  The NAACP shows up.  Al Sharpton Shows up.  Once in a while sitting Democrat Congressmen show up.  These people and groups aren't sending their designated political coins to conservative organizations, that's for sure.

Now you can say what you want about the above people.  You can defend their right to be anti-war if you like.  You can defend their right to be anti-Bush or even anti-Republican.  I don't agree with them, but hey, this is a first ammendment right.  Right?

Where things go very very south for me, is when I listen to the speakers who take the stage inbetween the above people.  Those folks are radical Moslems, Palestinain activists who damn Israel and the United States in every sentence, they are far leftist pro-illegal immigration groups with radical views about how the US has abused Mexico and it's citizens, avowed marxists from Central and South America and even radical insurgents from the Phillipeans.  When I say radical insurgents, I'm actually talking about folks who like to mingle with the Taliban and Al Qaeda connections in South-East Asia.  Linked through Malaysia, these groups are closely affiliated with the same middle-eastern groups that plotted the 09/11 event.

This coalition of ties the Democrat party to the very people who have targeted our nation for terrorism.  A.N.S.W.E.R is directly tied to the rabid anti-capitalist thugs who marched in Seattle, Canada and Europe.

This is why I find it funny.  When sitting members of our Congress jump on that stage, they are outing the party better than I ever could.  Now, if we could just get the media to string this stuff together in print, perhaps the nation's populace would see the Democrat Party for what it's truly been since the mid-1960s.

Fat chance!

If you want to know what these people are like, watch the next A.N.S.W.E.R. rally in Washington, D.C. on C-Span.  Look up their web sites, the world workers party and A.N.S.W.E.R.  You'll get an eye full.

Wow, I guess this identifies just who is backing the anti-American rallies.

I see a shift in voting from Jewish voters.

The old Soviet Union, perhaps the biggest experiment in this brand of Euro-lefty totalitarianism, was infamous in its oppression and expulsion of Jews.

To this ANSWER crowd, it's almost as if the past 50 years didn't even happen. Their heads are so buried in their solipsistic literature, they have lost touch with reality.

One of the rally organizers, Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER), has stated that it will not allow a "pro-Israel" speaker to take the stage -- despite the fact that Rabbi Lerner has been an outspoken critic of Israeli policy in the occupied territories, has endorsed ANSWER's antiwar rallies in the past, has signed the Not in Our Name petition against the war, and is widely known to be among the most progressive of American rabbis.

There is something so fitting about this Israeli critic and left-wing Democrat being kicked out the door. The pathetic part is that it probably won't open his eyes, he'll just grovel around like an unwanted dog and hope that some liberals will accept him back in.

[Cachelot]

The ANSWER droids need to be hunted down and incarcerated/deported/whatever...

[veronica]

Leftist Jews like Lerner will be always be used by the ANSWER types when needed, and discarded just as quickly when no longer needed. Lerner and his ilk are pathetic naifs, and ANSWER is scum. I hasten to add that I think of people like Lerner less as Jews than as leftists, since leftism is their true religion.

[CyberAnt]

Just squeeze the tube long enough, and what's inside will come out!!

[Revolting cat!]

Rabbi Lerner needs to learn from Randy Travis and go back to a better class of losers before this uptown living really gets him down!
