I remember Buchanan's comments. I don't know what that has to do with the question at hand.
What it is has to do, is that no public figure can pretend that he doesn't know that proclaiming that the Jews in the US Government are running US Policy for Israel's interests instead of the US' is very sensitive, to say the least, and will widely be considered anti-Semitic, the old charges of dual loyalty and shadowy cabals playing straight into the memes from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
You cannot say stuff like this - especially using words like 'puppeteer' and 'puppet' (with no evidence of course, there being none) and then cry innocently, "oh, I was only suggesting that the ties are a little bit too strong." If you really want to say that ties are too strong, you can say that, and just that, and criticize actual policies as put forward by actual politicians.
That Ralph Nader, per se, has not been known to say this before, is not an excuse. If he had made a slur against any other ethnic group, he would not get a 'first time free' pass on it. |
