Thanks for the links, Frazier. I look forward to reading them in detail and getting back to this thread.

Most politcally astute people are well aware of AIPAC and their predictable tactics.
I.E. Anyone who calls for the Israeli government to have some accountability is an anti-semite.

For that matter, anyone who does not echo the sentimates of AIPAC on the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, is an anti-semite. Even Jewish people!
Sometimes they just refer to them as "self hating jews".
LOL

The reality is that as silly as this is, they have been extremely effective with this overly simplistic drivel for a long, long time.

Cynthia McKinney is not an anti-semite any more than I am a traitor to the United States for dissenting against my government.

People of conscience (especially those of Jewish descent) need to be very vocal in their opposition to the tactics of groups like AIPAC.

Everytime one of these people goes to the anti-semite card, they need to be challenged.

This is the reason we should all take a good look at our relationship with Isreal..

This is the problem Cynthia has with our policies..

I've long been a Cynthia McKinney supporter. Rep. McKinney got bitch slapped big time by power politics. They did all they could to destroy her but that lady keeps on fighting. I really admire her.
