  • Liberal Media Lies

    Political logic augurs a Democratic triumph in looming US elections but Barack Obama’s White House duel with John McCain is still a statistical tie, prompting some to wonder why he is yet to break away.

  • The elephant in the room

    Everyone wants to avoid the elephant in the room. ''Greater Israel.'' Now when this term gets into the debate, I'll consider J Street to be legit. Until that happens, everyone will tippy toe around and pretend that all is well.

  • Six Degrees of Fundraising Separation

    I read Noah's review of Ayers' memoir and found it articulate and insightful. But I have to disagree with Noah's characterization of Obama's and Ayers' connections. Why should Ayers' money and influence be any less suspect than K Street, Wall Street, oil companies or mortgage brokers? Or, for that matter, Norman Hsu. I don't think it should, ...

  • pretty feeble Jewish lobby

    If the Jews had power, Gore would have been president. It's the white Christian Anglo-Saxon males who voted for Bush and for the war, it's the Jews and blacks (and, late to the party, Arab-Americans) who voted against Bush and the war. There are plenty of Jews who see the war in Iraq as damaging for Israel in the same way that a gang war on ...

  • Re: The Israeli Lobby

    San:Powerless people? Please, at least read about Amin al Hussein and the anti-Jewish movement that came after the Ottomans were overthrown. The Ottomans didn't get rid of Jews there, but people like Amin al Hussein, inspired by Hitler, thought that purging the world of all Jews would be the best way to act. Thats why he eventually went to ...
