(5,345 posts)who fought and in many cases died fighting the same type of facicism Trump wants to bring to our government. They would also not like him embracing the leader of Russia. My Uncle by marriage who fought in WWII couldn't stand the Soviet government even though they were supposed to be our allies in that war.
Plus it's rather hypocritical of the same person who said their were some good people in the KKK and the current Nazi groups to claim the Democrats are all anti-Jewish

I wonder what Doug Emhoff thinks about Trump's insult claim.

(26,014 posts)I don't know if that would be Emhoff's style of dealing with such rubbish, but he could borrow from Schumer's response on X to a stupid claim that Democrats don't let Jews have high level government positions.
Schumer answered with just 3 words. "News to me."
Emhoff could say something like "Harris insults Jews? News to me."
The MAGAs are obviously trying to create division in the party and think that comments about Harris insulting Jews will peal off Jewish voters. And that transparent attempt sounds to me like an insult to the intelligence of Jews, as if they can't see through it.

(56,108 posts)Sadly, too many people keep using it.
"He has a Jewish daughter and son-in-law" was the constant refrain when the Orange skidmark was accused of anti-Semitism.
Harris isn't anti-Semitic because she isn't anti-Semitic, doesn't rely on anti-Semitic tropes, doesn't push anti-Semitic narratives, doesn't support anti-Semites, and doesn't find neo-Nazis to be "very fine people"; she is literally the OPPOSITE of the Orange pimple, meaning she isn't anti-Semitic, but he sure as fuck is!

(93,616 posts)I feel like people are responding based on their own views rather than VP.
And then tryng to connect their opposition to Shapiro with VPs final decision. Her decision made sense for what she wanted but it was not the same as what many that opposed Shapiro were saying and continue to say.

So if wants to be jewish, whats to stop him?

(46,142 posts)Yes, he was given the name James Donald Bowman at birth. After his biological father deserted the family when he was very young, his mother remarried and her new husband, Bob Hamel adopted him and they changed his name to James David Hamel, to cut the connection to the deserting ex. Later, his mom and Hamel divorced, JD ended up being raised by his maternal grandparents (the Vances) and he formally changed his name.
Saying Vance isn't his name because it wasn't the name his parents gave him before they changed it and then he changed it is like saying Bill Clinton's name isn't Bill Clinton because he was named William Jefferson Blythe III when he was born, but after his mother remarried, they used his stepfather's last name instead of his father's last name. Clinton officially changed it later in life.
The point isn't to defend Vance it is that making a dumb argument is unnecessary when there are plenty of good arguments to use against Vance.

I doubt he has any jewish friends. I doubt he talks to jared.
He lies like he usually does. Its just projection. If it isnt good for him, it isnt good for anyone.
Piss off old man.

(69,364 posts)The Republicans did a good job of getting core Democratic constituents to fight with one another.
I'm convinced that Hamas was encouraged to attack Israeli civilians on Oct 7 because Netanyahu's response was predictable, and the situation would put progressives at odds with Jewish Democrats.
It's the same playbook. Let's not fall for it this time.
