I'm sure most have not missed the irony of how bitterly Dan complained
when someone posted a few weeks ago about a "Democratic Holocaust
Denier," saying in effect that this guy wasn't really a "Democrat"
and how the poster "betrayed her rightwing agenda" by using the term.
But then Dan plays the same childish game in reverse. Just to
make it simple and put an end to this, I think we can all stipulate
that we can find Democrats and Republicans who are anti-Israel,
appear to be anti-semitic, etc., etc. The idea that this implies
that anyone who is a [Democrat, Republican] is therefore so tarnished
is just silly.

Jim is being disingenuous if not out rigiht ridiculous. The so-called
"Democrat" was someone with no party ties who had entered a state primary.
Henry Hyde is part of the Republican Congressional leadership and has been
for many years.

So what? This is a childish game. For any Republican you can name who's
said anything remotely anti-Israel or anti-semitic I'm sure I can name
two Democrats. Ever hear of John Conyers, Cynthia McKinney? And as
csw already pointed out, Hyde's record on Israel is not remotely as bad
as these Democrats. Grow up.
