Obama Adviser Zbignew Brezinsky: Jewish Israel-Supporters "McCarthyite" in Smearing Israel-Critics as Anti-Semitic

As Rubin notes, it's an odd thing that all these Blame Israel Firsters and terrorist symps keep

Meanwhile, Obama "shifts" his position on talking face-to-face with tyrants and terrorists without precondition:

U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama is distancing himself from expectations he would meet Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and taking a more cautious stand on talking to other U.S. adversaries.

With criticism from Republicans turning harsher as Obama moves closer to winning the Democratic nomination battle against rival Hillary Clinton, the Illinois senator has shifted -- but not abandoned -- his position.

Sen. John McCain, the Republicans' presumptive nominee for the November election, has expressed outrage that Obama would talk to Ahmadinejad, whose country does not recognize Israel and who has branded the Jewish state a "stinking corpse."

"There's definitely been an adjustment in what was initially a pretty categorical position," said Ross Baker, a political scientist a Rutgers University. "As (Obama) has gone around the country campaigning, he has realized he's had to fine-tune his position."

Um, no, it's a repudiation of his former position using semantic games. Before he would meet with any tyrant in a chatty mood "without preconditions;" now he allows he would have "preparations" first, which seem to be what other people call preconditions.

He's a liar and a naif caught well out of his depth.
