More Anti-Semitism
Several months ago, when the Ned Lamont campaign was beginning to gain attention and momentum, speakingcorpse remarked ("jokingly") that it was only a matter of time before Lieberman began tagging the Lamont campaign as anti-Semitic. Well, that time has come!
Just what this campaign needs! Just what the Democrats need! Just what America needs!
Asked specifically if he felt that the wave of opposition to his candidacy had anything to do with his religion or his support for Israel, Mr. Lieberman paused, stepped toward the blue sedan that would speed him to a meeting outside of Hartford and said, "That's too big a question to answer on one foot. We should come back to answer that one." This extraordinary interest has led to some uncomfortable moments. Mr. Lieberman's supporters have come to suggest that much of the burgeoning liberal opposition to his candidacy is motivated by anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sentiment. Mr. Gerstein says he has detected what he calls a "growing strain of anti-Semitism on the far left," which he believes is in part fueling the strident opposition to Mr. Lieberman.
