I don’t know why everyone is going around Washington DC saying that Elliott Abrams is an anti-Semite. Frankly, I think it’s preposterous. If people accused him of doing unspeakable things to goats behind the big barn, I’d acknowledge that that is probably true, but there’s just no solid evidence that Mr. Abrams has a problem with Jews. It’s true that he repeatedly lied to and withheld evidence from Congress and had to be pardoned by Poppy Bush for his role in the Iran-Contra Affair, but that doesn’t mean he has a self-loathing hatred of Jews. I don’t know why people would engage in this unseemly attack on his reputation. And why is Bill Kristol besmirching his character, too. He is a secret anti-Semite, too, now? I know both of them are well known for their fondness for underage boys and cucurbita maxima masturbatory sessions, but that’s a wholly different kind of character assassination. The next thing you know, people will be accusing Chuck Hagel of losing his virginity to his mother in an outhouse.

Well, I did hear someone say Hagel was an M-F, but I don’t think he meant it literally.
You’re gettin’ pretty tricky, there, Boo. I can’t remember when I actually had to read a story link to find out what in hell you were going on about.
There were some mentions earlier that Hagel is less soft on Israel than the soppy norm among American pols, so by AIPAC/Likud standards that makes him antisemitic. Although I seem to also recall that AIPAC claimed to be staying neutral on the appointment.
So I wonder if this move by Jews who learned the wrong lessons from Hitler, like Abrams, will force Dems to go easy on Hagel, whose baggage on civil liberties makes liberals/lefties skittish. In any case, this campaign sheds a white-hot light on the tactics and integrity of the Likud-and-worse fronts in America.
What, I wasn’t clear?
Elliott Abrams likes to screw pumpkins and other large squashes.
I heard that, too. Given the now-widespread coverage, it would be irresponsible not to speculate.
I should also mention that all these guys who get off with a slap on the wrist? This is why it’s a big mistake. They come right back, like herpes. Abrams, Rove, Wolfowitz, Ken Starr, John Yoo — we need to prosecute and convict.

One of Netanyahu’s conditions for peace talks with President Abbas, kiss my boots and say “Jewish State” instead of Israel. What’s the deal
when Hagel said “Jewish lobby” instead of “Israel lobby”. President Truman was right in crossing out “Jewish” in 1948.
The Neocons are way past their shelf life.
It’s obvious that gentiles need an ADL with the Neocons constant smearing. There were 7 articles at the WaPost a couple weeks ago smearing Hagel as an antisemite. Just totally unbelievable.
It’s the smear the Israel-firsters use when they run out of other fake arguments.
Huh? Elliot Abrams is a Jew.
You are confusing me.
FTW
The Israel-firsters of the day did it to Pat Buchanan and it worked pretty well. But it was liberals who finished him off with attacks for racism.
that’s because Pat IS an anti-semite.
Exactly.
Do you get the impression they’ve cried wolf a few too many times with this anti-Semitism bullshit? For me at least, it’s kind of like when I hear a car alarm going off. I don’t think, “Someone is breaking into a car,” I think somebody hit the wrong button on the remote. When I hear charges of anti-Semitism these days, I assume it’s probably because somebody once shook hands with a Palestinian, not that they have a swastika tattooed on their scalp.
