    Oh the Irony!

    If any of the Jewish voters in Florida and elsewhere would read leftwing blogs, they would see very clearly that there is a very strong current of pro-Palestinian and anti-Semitic thought running through it.

    Conservative Christians, like Sarah Palin, not only strongly support Israel, but the son of God they worship was a Jew. But if there is a strong anti-Semitic view in Conservative Republican land, please show me the evidence.

    How interesting it would be to compare the thoughts of the voters of Nancy Pelosi's congressional district with the Christian students who attend Liberty University in Virginia. There is no doubt which group would most strongly support Jews and Israel.

    And, as many of you recall from recent articles and posts here concerning the Holocaust-enying President of Iran, many on the left are much more comfy allowing him to speak at an American University than they are any number of conservative US politicians.

    Jewish voters who support Obama will have to deal with the unholy Trinity of Obama, Pelosi and Reid for the next four years. Good luck.
