In reply to the discussion: Al Franken Would Make a Great President [View all]Behind the Aegis
(56,171 posts)While it would certainly be regional, it would also fall on other lines as well. I'd disagree with your assertion there is " lot of philosemitism in America" because I sure don't see it. You aren't conflating "support" for Israel as "philosemitism" are you?
Look at the mass success of things that are seen as culturally Jewish, like Seinfeld.
Seriously?! I know you are being sincere, at least that is my feeling in reading your posts, but that remark is as absurd as saying we are in a post-racial America because he have a black president.
I am sure there would be many things people would attack him for, his age for one (just look above and see the person complaining he will be 69, though H. Clinton is 69, but that was acceptable). The would likely attack his comedic background too. But, c'mon now, for fuck's sake, they used anti-Semitism in the campaign against CLINTON and she ain't even a Jew!
