Political Tidbits: McCain’s big J in Palm Beach County
By Ami Eden on Jul 8, 2008 in Barack Obama, John McCain, Presidential Race |
- A left-wing blogger quotes a congressional candidate as saying she’s being bullied by AIPAC types. The next day the candidate’s house burns down. Somebody call Mearsheimer & Walt (alternative punch line: Jimmy Carter has volunteered to rebuild the house).
- The Catholic League’s Bill Donohue that Barack Obama’s “fraudulent” faith-based initiative will be bad for the Catholics — and Orthodox Jews. The Orthodox Union isn’t so sure (though it has similar concerns).
- The state lobbyist heading up John McCain’s campaign in Palm Beach County is ‘Jewish with a capital J.’
- A writer in the Jerusalem Post explains how a nice Jewish boy ended up with the same name as “a nice political superstar who is named after his Muslim father and is himself a long time member of the ‘Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian’ Trinity United Church of Christ.”
- Ira Forman (National Jewish Democratic Council) in HuffPo: When it comes to Iran, McCain speaks loudly and carries a small stick.
- The NJDC may have picked a bad time to paint McCain as a flip-flopper.
- Obama courts Hollywood Jews.
- The L.A. Jewish Journal has a Podcast on the Iranian Jewish vote.

Stoller’s comments are meaningless. He and people like him believe labelling is as good as(no better) than argument and facts.

Wow… did u hear the pin drop? Not to call attention to your two dud punchlines… You could attempt a few thousand more… hopefully not as lackluster for our sakes… but you will still find that no one is laughing anymore.
