It was probably a botched joke
The aggressively photogenic John Edwards was cruising along, detailing
his litany of liberal causes last week until, during question time, he
invoked the "I" word -- Israel.Perhaps the greatest short-term threat to world peace, Edwards remarked,
was the possibility that Israel would bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. As a chill
descended on the gathering, the Edwards event was brought to a polite close."
Surely he didn't mean that Israel is the greatest threat to world peace, that the people that Iran has vowed to wipe off the face of the earth is the greatest threat to world peace.
It sure sounded like that to me. Especially since acknowledging the threat from Iran would make his anti-war stance a tad ridiculous, wouldn't it? So... what else is there to do but blame the joos.
I don't expect John Edwards to take responsiblity for the anti-semitic streak that is now competing with the yellow streak in him that we've come to know so well.
However, I do expect Jewish people to sit up and take notice of the anti-semitism radiating out of this man.
Thanks Billy, pointing me to Variety, of all places. I don't expect we'll see that reported by the mainstream media.
UPDATE: He denies it.

OK, lets see now, his bloggers teed off on the Catholics and now his tongue has tripped him up on Israel. So, to me, he is looking more and more like an old time southern pol with a $50 hairdo.
