2016 Postmortem

2016-02-10T21:27:05+00:00

We may differ on how we get there but I hope we have common goals and intentions at our core. Common values. Respect for people that are different than yourself. Different or no faith. Different colors of skin. Different countries of origin. Different family values and love differently than you. A candidate that in 2008 made overt racial discrimination and derogatory comments about that person's heritage cis bad enough. To then, while running for president again, attacks another candidate on their Jewish heritage and approach to Jewish issues. A person who lost family members in Jewish concentration camps, their father came here as a Jewish immigrant. He spent time himself in a kibbutz in Israel. He is being "Jewish" enough? When is enough, enough? How much longer are you going to tolerate these racial dog whistles and racially motivated attacks on minorities from your candidate?

You want to start an online war with the Jewish community by "baiting" them with a lie?

Go for it.

What a pity that the John Bern Society isn't held to the same standard.

As it relates to Israel is now a racial dog whistle? Is that country off limits even though we give them billions of dollars in aid? Did I miss something?

It has nothing to do with foreign policy but please continue.
“Hillary Clinton has been a very strong friend of Israel and that is something that should not be lost on the American Jewish community,” said Paul Hodes, a former New Hampshire congressman who came to rally for Clinton at her post-primary event. Hodes, who is Jewish and from New Hampshire, told the Forward: “Senator Sanders hasn’t showed himself to be the kind of friend of Israel that Secretary Clinton is.”

You didn't ask about her racist attacks on the president in 2008...very telling. ( the "it was a campaign" is a bullshit excuse for racism)
Here is one (Clinton surrogate)
