Anti-Semitism & the Jewish State...

[kelley]

then WTF did the coalition of coalitions deny this? why didn't they just 
call it out for the b.s. that it is instead of babbling about how he 
attacked ANSWER? that, i don't get. why does ANSWER babble about 
red-baiting. they ARE reds! Why not just state the truth? What motivated 
ANSWER (as represented by WHF in the radio interview) and the Coalition in 
their statement to turn it into another issue entirely? they reject 
Lerner's politics--so? it's the coalition's rally. they get to choose who 
speaks and who doesn't. big whoop.

smells like a big ole rotten pile of horse shit to me. they could have 
saved themselves an assload of trouble had they just said, "yep, it's his 
shabby politics" and be done with it.
