I actually wrote that she repeated an anti-Semetic lie.
And you haven't, so far as I've seen, offered a cite to back up the
claim.
I quoted her.
You mean this?:
<quote from Cindy>
Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was
killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son
joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know
full-well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were
betrayed
by George [W.] Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after
9/11. We were told that we were attacked on 9/11 because the terrorists
hate our freedoms and democracy.not for the real reason, because the
Arab-Muslims who attacked us hate our middle-eastern foreign policy.
That
hasn't changed since America invaded and occupied Iraq.in fact it has
gotten worse.
<end quote>
Where's the reference?
You think that claiming that Jews got the president to
support Israel instead of looking out for the best interest of the US
is
not anti-Semetic?
If she had said "the Jews got the president to support Israel…" then
I'd wonder a little about her sanity, at the very least; but then I
suspect losing a child can make one loopy for a while.
However, as (IIRC) Nick pointed out, she didn't say anything about
Jews, but about Israel, which is a *nation*, not an ethnic group.
Suggesting she's anti-semitic because she believes (for whatever
reason, and supported only by a quote with no current provenance in
this discussion) in an improbable conspiracy is a little like claiming
one is anti-black because one doesn't like how Somalia is being torn
apart from the inside, or anti-Arab for saying that Saddam was a bad
man, or anti-Asian for suggesting that Kim Jong Il is a dangerous
lunatic who is trying to destroy his own nation.
