American Jews And The GOP
I noted a few weeks back that contrary to what the GOP/Media Complex would have us believe, American Jews are not only not fans of Bush's Iraq War, they oppose it in greater numbers than does the general US population. Today, I'm addressing another big GOP/Media Complex myth: The idea that Jews are joining the Republican Party en masse. This article from the Forward -- America's most influential Jewish publication -- debunks that myth rather nicely. Simply put, American Jews have no desire to embrace a party that embraces people like Pat Robertson (and people who make Robertson look like Mahatma Gandhi). By the way, speaking of Robertson, check out this petition: America to Bush: Stop Propping Up Robertson With Our Tax Dollars!
