Actually, save for the occasional anti-Semite, you'd be surprised what Middle American opinion is concerning the Palestinians. Indeed, I feel more open talking about their plight and our funding of Greater Israel than I ever did.

I wasn't talking about a "cartoon image". I spoke directly about the WWP and BAMN and their reactionary conduct. Spare me the Hitler/Stalin crap. Forget books, bub -- go watch TV.

How generous of you. But it's more than being "assholes"; it's breaking up community gatherings and strategy sessions. The FBI couldn't operate this well undercover, and if the feds aren't involved, then someone is doing their job for less pay.
