Andrew Sullivan Accuses Republicans Of Being Insufficiently Anti-Semitic

That's my gloss, of course. Decide for yourselves:

Jewish Republicans Ban Ron Paul

He's uninvited from their debate - because of his opposition to foreign aid for Israel. But he's against almost all foreign aid, guys! Including for the Saudis. Still: it's interesting that almost all the GOP candidates found time to debate with this tiny minority. But not blacks or Hispanics or gays. Hmmm.

Reminds me of Sullivan's big Welcome To My Blog for all those he admitted trafficked in not-so-stealth anti-semitism, but were now readers because of their close alignment of interests and antipathies.

Grow up, Sullivan. Debates sponsored by black, Hispanic, and gay groups tend to be organized by left-wing identity-politics hacks who "invite" Republicans to their fora simply to be pilloried. It's arguable whether or not someone should attend just for the sake of appearances, but the idea that someone is required to attend a scheduled public mau-mau-ing simply to disprove "hate" is absurd.

I guess there are only four True Conservatives in America -- Ron Paul, Andrew Sullivan, Glenn Greenwald, and of course Thomas Ellers Ellensberg Wilson.

True Conservativism

Anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories are older "conservative" traditions than supply-side economics. Let's get back to the Good Old Days of the fifties! If it worked for Father Coughlin, it can work for us in '08!
