Howard Dean only belatedly condemned the literature handed out by these
groups
as anti-semitic when the story was reported in the Post. Neither he nor
Conyers,
who was responsible for the event, took issue with McGovern's speech.


In fact the letter that I posted a link to was an answer to the false claims
that Conyers was endorsing an antisemitic agenda, or that the flyers or
witness reflected the majority of what was presented at the hearing.


Dan, I've been a registered Democrat for as long as I can remember,
but I'm under no illusions that the US Democratic party is particularly
friendly to Israel. On the balance, though, the freedoms and guarantees
that the Democrats tend to work toward seem to be better for Jews. What
bothers me about the Republican stance is that at first glance it SEEMS
to be good for us as Jews, but not once you scratch the surface (as
you've shown here before).
