Republicans playing the Anti-Semite card.
The Republicans are at it again. Once again trying to paint Howard Dean as anti-Israel/anti-Semitic. Ari Berman in his Nation column, The Daily Outrage, takes on the lying Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), who have started running an ad in Jewish newspapers that infers that the Democrats are coddling terrorists. Included in the ad are statements by party retards, Joe Lieberman, Nancy Pelosi and Kerry's unfortunately named, former Jewish community liason, Jay Footlik, criticizing Dean's call for "even handedness" in the peace process. These rubes forget that Howard Dean's wife is Jewish, but still have the balls to imply that he is not sensitive to Jewish issues.
Seems funny, this coming on the heels of another statement by the NY Republican Party Chairman, Stephen Minarik, who said, ""the Democrats simply have refused to learn the lessons of the past two election cycles, and now they can be accurately called the party of Barbara Boxer, Lynne Stewart and Howard Dean." Implying that the Democrats and by proxy, Howard Dean, are in sympathy with the terrorists, by including defense attorney, Lynn Stewart, who was recently convicted for passing information from an imprisoned Egyptian sheik to his followers on the outside. (Andrew P. Napolitano writes on the absurdity of this conviction in today's NY Times.) I am astounded at how quickly the pro-Bush Jews play the anti-Israel card, while aligning themselves with the Christian Right, who have no interest in peace in the Middle East, just in ushering in the "Apocalypse."
Here They Go Again

As RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman praised the election of his new counterpart Howard Dean, influential Republican front groups were already planning a mendacious offensive against the new DNC chair.
The first attack came courtesy of the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), a big money pro-Israel lobby group linking Jewish-American neoconservatives to the Christian Right and Israel's Likud government. On Monday the RJC began running full-page ads in major Jewish newspapers across the country featuring a large photo of militants strapped with explosives coddling a young Palestinian boy. Above that arresting image is a quote by Dean: "It's not our place to take sides." Below the photo are quotes by Democrats critical of Dean. The ad effectively equates Dean's election with the appeasement of suicide bombers. Full Story Here.
