Dems hold mock impeachment, blame Jews
Posted by Richard on June 17, 2005
If it isn’t already clear to you that the Democratic Party has been taken over by rabid, hate-filled, conspiracy-theorist, Jew-bashing lunatics, take a look at this Washington Post story quoted at Little Green Footballs.
A couple of dozen Democratic members of the House held a mock Judiciary Committee hearing conducting a make-believe impeachment inquiry. Unsurprisingly, all the "witnesses" agreed that the President was guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors regarding the war in Iraq.
But here’s the part that defies belief (emphasis added):
The session took an awkward turn when witness Ray McGovern, a former intelligence analyst, declared that the United States went to war in Iraq for oil, Israel and military bases craved by administration "neocons" so "the United States and Israel could dominate that part of the world." He said that Israel should not be considered an ally and that Bush was doing the bidding of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
…
At Democratic headquarters, where an overflow crowd watched the hearing on television, activists handed out documents repeating two accusations — that an Israeli company had warning of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and that there was an "insider trading scam" on 9/11 — that previously has been used to suggest Israel was behind the attacks.
Such insane conspiratorial charges — that Israel orchestrated the 9/11 attacks, that Jews were forewarned to stay away from the WTC, etc. — have been confined to the most radical, extremist, "death to the Jews" Islamofascist publications and web sites, and to a few non-Islamic groups of crazed anti-Semites and Nazis.
Now, these claims are being distributed at Democratic headquarters in support of a Democratic mock impeachment hearing charging that the President of the United States is controlled by Israel.
It’s inconceivable to me that any Jewish person with a shred of dignity and self-respect would remain in the Democratic Party.

It has baffled the hell out of me for some time that the Democrats have allowed themselves to be hijacked as they have by these portsiders. I know a few conservative Democrats, one being a very level- headed aunt who spent a number of years in politics in New Hampshire and who is friends with the Kerrys, knows the whole New England Dem cast of characters, and she actually “goes with the program” with the rest of the Dems, while she HAS to know how potentially harmful these libs’ agendas are to our country, and I gua-run-tee that she doesn’t have a socialist bone in her body. She won’t discuss the liberals’ attacks on Gitmo, nor the fact that Dean and others have been spouting off garbage that is bound to lose their party a lot of votes by people who resent their intelligence being supremely insulted.
For some reason, mutton comes to mind whenever I think of the Democrats who should know better.
