Opinions/Editorials Title: Column: Occupy Wall Street is anti-Semitic? Oy Vey... Like most American Jews, my father tends to vote Democratic. Jews have chosen Democrats over Republicans in every presidential race since Woodrow Wilson. But when my dad votes for a Republican, he explains his decision in simple terms: "He's a friend of Israel." Republicans desperately want to win the Jewish vote and the clout it brings with it. So I was not surprised to see Bill Kristol, Fox News commentator and cheerleader for the War in Iraq, had started a right-wing organization called "Emergency Committee for Israel" (as opposed to the "C'est la Vie Committee for Israel"). What did surprise me was the video the group released to uncover the burning, vicious truth about the Occupy Wall Street protests. OWS, it turns out, is just a bunch of anti-Semitic anarchists. The video shows a few signs about Jews running the financial system and an orthodox Jew arguing with just about the most pathetic little pecker in New York. The point of the video is to show that the movement is not based in middle-class frustration over decades of wealth inequality. In fact, it's a neo-Nazi training camp bent on tearing down civilization, waiting for the first opportunity to throw the Jews against the wall. Let me preempt conservative readers. "Don't tell us he's is going to suggest we ignore the hateful fringe showing up at OWS when he was among the first to use the hateful fringe in the Tea Party to paint that movement as racist." I am.

To: Not Badeye, A K A Stone, Fred Mertz, Godwinson, go65, war, no gnu taxes, Skip Intro, ferret mike, jwpegler, mininggold, brian s, mcgowanjm (#0) The great irony is that the main criticism of OWS is its lack of well-articulated goals and grievances. The Tea Party couldn't even get that far-its goals are self-contradictory and its grievances are mostly imagined. The Tea Party wants: government to tax less and spend less (except tax dollars spent on programs they use); to limit government power (except when it needs to intervene to defend their interpretation of God's plan); to stop our slide into socialism (or is it fascism? Anarchy? Sharia Law?); to deport all undocumented immigrants (though calling them "illegals" makes it easier to forget their humanity); and to defend our interests at home and abroad (except when Obama's hawkishness reminds them of their isolationist roots).
#2. To: lucysmom (#1) So if a bankster is Jewish and has stolen multibillions and gotten a US FedRes Bailout.... and s/he pulls out her Jewish I'm Safe card.... does s/he not get arrested?
#3. To: All (#2) Why is AIPAC not a foreign agent? Or AEI Or Heritage? Why are we giving Billions oper year to a state that won't announce it's borders and claims it's religion is the very bestest?
#5. To: mcgowanjm (#3) Why are we giving Billions oper year to a state that won't announce it's borders and claims it's religion is the very bestest? And openly practices a form of state sponsored communism.
Replies to Comment # 5. And openly practices a form of state sponsored communism. Once the state proclaims a favored state religion there is no way out except death. US v THEM until that state dies. There are no exceptions.
