Use'em and abuse'em. I'd say he's a smart man 🙂

And to answer your question from before:
No, I am not an anti-semite, just anti-Israel. Big difference.
Not to people like Wecht and Fetterman.


@Earl-of-Trumps said
explain your story to Wecht the judge, and to Fetterman. who I am sure would love to hear from you

My prediction: Fetterman will soon switch parties.
And then he'll finally be out of a job soon.

Kinda surprised you floated this way (though I know you have a slavish devotion to Breitbart) Earl; you know full well that this "rising anti-semitism problem" is simply criticism of Israel's repression and genocidal actions against the Palestinians.

You've criticized that here, too; do you consider yourself an "anti-semite"?
Protesting against Israeli actions is one thing.

Mass masked marching into a heavily JEWISH (not Israeli) neighborhood in Brooklyn, assaulting people, chanting and praying right outside a synagogue to intimidate worshippers, and screaming "F Israel" at random Jews on the street who expressed nothing except for wearing Jewish clothes, is not criticism of Israel. It's Jew-hate. Period.

They Dem politicians don't show up and scream Jew-hate slogans with the protesters. But that their officials are seemingly tolerant of such behavior is an anti-Semitism problem.

Yes, I know that most of the behavior is First Amendment protected speech. But that doesn't mean you can't criticize or discourage this low-level terrorism.

Name one "Dem politician" who has expressed support or even tolerance for such actions.

Mamdani should be stepping in to protect his Jewish constituents from this sort of harassment. Instead, he contents himself with platitudes and doubling down on the kind of inflammatory rhetoric that tacitly supports these tactics.

Look yourself in the mirror.

And isn't Fetterman awesome? 🙂
Nowhere in your article does he give any actual examples of "antisemitism" by Dems.

The closet he comes is stating 80 percent disapprove of Israel. But that's like saying I hate Chinese people if I don't like China's government.

Earl, you have to know better by now than to just go by empty claims. But if you knew better, you wouldn't be conservative.

Fetterman didn't even refer to a specific person or situation, just his "feelings".

We've had a few threads about this. Antisemitism is rising among the liberals and here's 1,000 examples, but then you look at the incidences and they're either extremely benign, focused on a specific policy disagreement with Israel, or committed by the right-wing - and very few cases of violence.

In other words, there is not a rising antisemitism problem among Democrats. He made it up.

"I don't like China's government" is not anti-Chinese, but "Dissolve the lone Chinese country and give out its pieces to be ruled by people who hate the Chinese." is pretty damned anti-Chinese.

That's not what the poll asked, though.

China is attacked and hits back with 80-fold higher casualties on whatever country hit them, plus starts attacking other countries pre-emptively and indiscriminately towards many civilian targets.

Then put out a poll and ask "Do you approve of China?"

"Do you approve of China?" is a stupid question because it's so broad that it's impossible to really answer. Approve of what? It's existence? government? food?

Disapproving of Israel's conduct in its wars on Gaza, Hezbollah and the IRGC does not make one a Jew-hater. Disapproving of Israel's existence is much closer question.

I would assume the question related to the behaviors or foreign policy of the country, not its existence.

Because it's breitbart and therefore deliberately misleading, you have to follow the links to find out that the basic question was "Do you view Israel in a positive or negative light?"

The old "anti-Zionism" = "anti-Semitism" bait and switch.

Except in this case I can't think of a single Democrat who's ever supported Israel's extinction.

Maybe you could drum up a right wing opinion piece claiming one "tacitly" does.
