"Bill offered which said, what is said so many times, and you've said it, that criticisms of the ties between the Bush administration and the Sharon administration are anti-semitic. " Neither bill or nadine has ever said that. It's a legit view to hold that bush and sharon are too close. Its also legit to say that bush and sharon being close is a good thing. In neither case is their any anti semitism, unless the person criticising the relationship brings it up. Like saying the jews control the media so bush has to kiss sharons ass. Stuff that nsder, buchanan and moore say sometimes cross the line as well. Did someone accuse you of being anti-semitic John. I dont believe that someone did or that you are. mike

that criticisms of the ties between the Bush administration and the Sharon administration are anti-semitic. I have never said that, never! But language about "Israeli puppeteers" and "White House puppets" is not criticism of ties. Just as pictures of Bush or Sharon eating a baby is not criticism of policy. If I used similar slurs against blacks, if the cartoon was of some Uncle Tom shuckin' & jivin', I think you could pick up the insensitivity. But no amount of language loaded with anti-Semitic innuendo seems to ring a bell with you these days. "Israeli puppeteers" "Jewish control of the media", and "neocon cabals" with only Jewish names listed - it all passes as fine & dandy by you.
