"I find her offensive"

John McCain was making a bid for South Florida's Jewish voters, a crucial demographic in a purple state. But then he chose Sarah Palin as a running mate.

    I'm kind of curious about this quote from your last letter:

    You can't come of age in the south side of Chicago (where Jews still own a lot of businesses) and not have some feeling for the Palestinians.

    Specifically, I'm wondering exactly what it is about the presence of Jewish-owned businesses on the South Side of Chicago that necessarily results in having "some feeling for the Palestinians."

    Also, it strikes me as interesting that the effect of every comment you post is to reinforce precisely the despicable McCain-issued smears you ostensibly want to expose.
