Hating on the Hebrews (D)
Hard to improve on this:
How many times can the DNC mention that Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) is a Jew? In their pre-emptive attack website on every potential candidate for John McCain’s running mate, they manage to work it into their text five times in six paragraphs. They even helpfully note that disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff is also Jewish, just in case Democrats missed that key point about his guilt:
Cantor Was Actually Around a Lot of Suspicious Abramoff Events
Cantor Co-Hosted Improper Signatures Fundraiser With Abramoff. Jack Abramoff and House Deputy Republican Whip Eric Cantor co-hosted a fundraiser for then Rep. David Vitter at Abramoff’s Signatures restaurant. In April 2005, Vitter admitted to the Federal Elections Commission that he failed to pay for the expenses for the fundraiser. According to the Times Picayune, Rep. Eric Cantor was “the marquee guest” at the event which sought to raise money from the Jewish community. Both Abramoff and Cantor are Jewish [emphasis mine — Ed].
…
I guess Barack Obama was right after all. This election will see dirty smears based on identity politics. He just got the party wrong. This didn’t come from a blogger or an e-mail kook — this comes from the DNC itself. In 660 words, they manage to use a derivative of the word Jew five times in attacking Cantor. They never explain why this forms such a strong theme in their opposition of Cantor, but apparently they believe that Democrats won’t need an explanation to oppose Jews.
I can assure you from my many friends and family who are still Democrats, still fervently liberal, that not all such people are anti-Semites.
But the question that Aunt Agatha and I have raised many times still stands: what is it with Democrats and Jews? Jews vote Democratic in overwhelming numbers; many espouse liberal views; Democrats have no problem taking “Jewish” money by the bagful from George Soros (who helpfully blames anti-Semitism on Jews anyway).
Yet the old guard of Jimmy Carter and the new guard of James Moran and Cynthia McKinney, among others, just can’t seem to cozy up to their Hebrew brothers and sisters—even to the point of blaming Jews for the least popular of Bush Administration policies—a Republican administration, last I checked, though just barely—the Iraq war.
Dude, they’re just Jews.

What’s next, Howard Dean narrating the “Running of the Jews” scene from the movie “Borat”?
These guys are documented bigots.

Maybe it’s for the same reason they hate so much on black Republicans: they are race-traitors (a white supremacist term I shouldn’t have to use in any context except a discussion of Nazi scum) and they have strayed off the reservation. I think it’s the only crime for which Democrats think the death penalty should be imposed.
