Lest the idiots in the comments over at Think Progress think that only Republicans are anti-Semites, I remind them of Congressman Jim Moron [sic], who famously blamed the Jews for the Iraq war.
At a March 3 antiwar forum in Reston, Virginia, outside Washington, Moran talked about why he felt the antiwar movement was not stronger in the United States.
“If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would not be doing this,” said Moran, whose remarks were first reported by the Reston Connection newspaper. “The leaders of the Jewish community are influential enough that they could change the direction of where this is going, and I think they should.”
The Congressman was re-elected this year for another term. Somehow, the Elders never manage to get rid of jerks like him (or Patrick Buchanan).
We get it from the left and the right. One thing that has managed to united disparate groups over the years is their hatred of Jews, covert, overt, subtle, and open:
“When I got involved in politics, I told people I wanted to put Christian conservatives in leadership positions,” he told me, explaining that he only supports Christian conservative candidates in Republican primary races.
“I want to make sure that a person I’m supporting is going to have my values. It’s not anything about Jews and whether I think their religion is right or Muslims and whether I think their religion is right. … I got into politics to put Christian conservatives into office. They’re the people that do the best jobs over all.”
So John Cook is following the playbook known as “In hole, must dig deeper.” And it will be all over the MSM soon, because it’s a Republican making these statements. Hey, moron: While America is definitely a Christian majority nation, it ain’t a Christian nation. That’s why we have the First Amendment.
It’s a Judeo-christian Nation.
Thought I’m the resident apostate when people call the US a ‘Christian’ nation I point out that my mother ain’t Christian.
that usually chastens them.
