CNN is pushing the Democrats are anti-Semitic theme really hard

[SocialDemocrat61]

Jake Tapper and Dana Bash last night and Jonah Goldberg this morning. It seems that there isn't a BS GOP talking point that they don't love to parrot.

[Ocelot II]

1. So Harris is anti-Semitic because she didn't choose Shapiro as her running mate?

Have they ever noticed her husband?

[tanyev]

14. And if she had picked Shapiro a large chunk of the GOP base

would have lost their frikkin’ minds over her having a Jewish husband and a Jewish VP on the ticket. So they’re being very disingenuous pushing the anti-Semitism.

[Jilly_in_VA]

45. I was going to say exactly the same thing.

I mean, really. Can they get over it already? If she'd chosen Shapiro they'd be all over it with a double dose of their antisemitism anyway. Can't win with these guys.

[Ocelot II]

58. Exactly. They'd accuse her of being too closely associated with Jews.

"Her husband is a Jew! Her running mate is a Jew! What about all those people in Michigan?" And the anti-Semites would crawl out from under their rocks while he urged them on. "Good people on both sides."

[Botany]

2. Turn it off

Jonah Goldberg (1968–), known to liberal bloggers as Doughy Pantload,[

[SocialDemocrat61]

12. I expect Goldberg to spew lies

But really getting sick of Tapper and Bash. After the crap job they did at the debate, they both should have been fired.

[Botany]

15. CNN is part of the problem... the idea that CNN is part of "the liberal media" is laughable

The joy their on air people were absolutely happy pushing the news about
the news of the economic collapse was sickening.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

44. I loathe the Punditocracy ...nt

[displacedvermoter]

19. Son of Lucianne Goldberg (1935 - 2022)

who was a primary shit-stirrer in the Clinton-Lewinsky impeachment saga.

Young Jonah's successful career as a spinner of conservative lies and innuendo is the ultimate in nepotism, a reward.for his mother's scurrilous work for the GOP slime machine.

[Botany]

21. 1/2 day of real work would kill that man. Fat, pompous, and a knowing liar for hire.

Thanx for reminding me about his mom and her attacks on the Clintons what a
complete shit because as she was attacking the Clintons Bill was behind the human
genome project which a few years later allowed for a much more rapid development
of the COVID vaccine. And Bill was also going after bin Laden @ the same time too.





Face that needs to be slapped.

[Charging Triceratops]

27. Yeah, with a coal shovel

or a truck battery.

[Botany]

28. Or just made to load a wheel barrel of gravel and made to run it across a lawn and dumped

He wouldn’t make it 5 minutes.

[Botany]

31. Delete

53. Facebook has been using his site as a fact check on project 2025

I posted a meme about Project 2025 and was “ fact checked” by FB which gave me a link to Goldberg site. I updated my post with that information that Goldberg is a right wing operative and they stopped fact checking me about project 2025.

[BigMin28]

54. The beauty

of not watching cable or cable news. I forgot about this loathsome individual.

[Kaleva]

3. You must be one of the few in the country that watches CNN

[SocialDemocrat61]

10. I actually I only turn them on occasionally

And every time I did last night and this morning, this was all they were talking about.

[applegrove]

4. At least democrats have seemed to have learned from

message discipline on the right. It is vital Democrats don't let Republicans out discipline them.

[getagrip_already]

6. And tsf has a jewish running mate so he is fine?

He had precious few jewish cabinet members. He has made openly anti semetic remarks.

Yet, kamala is antisemetic for making a vp choice?

Sheesh. How shallow are these people?

[Deep State Witch]

38. Well, There Was Jared

He had anti-Semite armor in Jared Kushner. Plus his daughter-wife converted to Judaism. Not that Javanka represent 90% of American Jews.

[Jilly_in_VA]

47. And don't forget dear daughter.

Ivanka converted to marry Jared, although I see very few traces of the "modest Jewish woman" in her!

[yardwork]

55. Trump's daughter's choice of husband is irrelevant.

Trump's choices of VP and cabinet secretaries are the comparison group.

[Deep State Witch]

61. Except That Jared Was His Go-To Guy

Whenever he wanted something done.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

7. Well, it was pushed pretty hard here too.

[Sympthsical]

22. Distrusting a Jewish politician because of dual loyalty is antisemitic

It's one of the core definitions of being bigoted towards a politician. JFK went through it with his Catholicism.

But, look, for whatever reason, some people are chill with their forms of bigotry while thinking any bigotry against themselves is the highest evil.

I'm getting older. I've just started assuming people don't have mirrors in their homes.

[SocialDemocrat61]

23. Did someone in DU accuse

a Jewish politician of dual loyalty?

[Sympthsical]

35. Oh my god yes

It was all over the place in the Shapiro/IDF threads. The story itself was selectively excerpted to give the impression.

It was crazy what people were saying. Out loud. And leaving out context knowing full well that distorted impression they were leaving.

Fortunately, some of resident Jew distrusters earned themselves a few hides in that mess. I'd like to say maybe they'll learn, but they won't. Bigots who think they're hiding in a sympathetic crowd rarely do. It's why it's important to disabuse them.

[SocialDemocrat61]

39. That's unfortunate

Hope you reported those posts. There is a rule against bigotry.

Personally, since Americans served in Spanish units during the civil war in the 30s, the RAF during the Battle of Britain and currently in the Ukrainian military; I have no problem with his service.

[Sympthsical]

42. To be clear, I don't think that's why he wasn't picked

There were a plethora of reasons Harris made the choice she did, and I trust her and her team to have the internal numbers and considerations needed to make the best one. And Walz seems excellent. I'm great with the selection.

But Shapiro's consideration did provide an occasion for the usuals to come out and play.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

25. The issue I saw was people raising real concerns about his policy stances unrelated to his position on Israel,

and that being called antisemitic.

[Sympthsical]

36. People see what they willfully see

And in some circumstances, that will is exercised more strongly than in others.

[The Magistrate]

37. True: He Lost Me At 'Charter Schools'

And this 'deliver your home state' business has gone the way of 'favorite son' nominations on the convention floor.

I would not presume opposition to him on the grounds of his support for Israel and, I gather, IDF service, is not rooted in Jew-Hate.

Opposition on the ground that 'the country ain't ready for a Jew' I would view as likely no more than an assessment of present political contingencies, though I could be convinced otherwise.

[Renew Deal]

8. It's lose-lose with the media

Pick Shapiro and the story is that Kamala is antagonizing Palestinian protesters. Pick Walz and the story is that Walz was chosen because Shapiro is jewish. They need something to talk about, even if it's a lie.

[RAB910]

11. Their pathetic fear and panic is palpable

[NYC Liberal]

13. If she had chosen him, the narrative would be something like "Is Shapiro too Jewish? Will he alienate {group}?"

or some other antisemitic nonsense.

[karynnj]

16. Jonah goldberg, son of Lucianne Goldberg, who advised Linda Tripp to record Lewinsky?

Not to mention, Trump did not pick a Jew as VP, but someone not likely to be an ally to American Jews.

[debm55]

17. I saw that yesterday. Was going to post here. Yes Tapper and Bash are really on the anti-semitic theme . And CNN MAGAt

guest are too.

[SocialDemocrat61]

18. Jake Tapper never liked Trump

But he's been a right wing hack since his ABC days and has been bashing Biden for years. Bash is just a Trump sycophant who praised him on January 6th.

[Towlie]

20. We should be extending our principle of separation of church and state to other nations.

We can regard all religions as equal, while simultaneously endorsing or condemning what any nation does.

[iemanja]

24. Where is the Jew on the GOP ticket?

[no_hypocrisy]

26. Flimsy speculation, not journalism.

FOX does it better than you, CNN.

[unblock]

29. Yeah dems are so anti-Semitic that only 75-80% of Jews are democrats.

We're the most reliably Democratic demographic after African-Americans.

Oh, and we're better positioned to determine who and what is anti-Semitic....

[Baltimike]

30. CNN's boss came in wanting to make them more like Fox News

it's part of the reason that I no longer watch the news at all

[Bucky]

41. I thought he left

[Mysterian]

32. Then turn that shit off

CNN = Fox "News"

[SocialDemocrat61]

33. I did

[Freethinker65]

34. Everyone knows Donald and Melania and JD and Usha are Jewish?

I assume Kamala Harris's husband doesn't count . A Chuck Schumer, ...etc.

[Bucky]

40. Sorry, that's a load of horseradish

CNN doesn't spoon feed us pro Dem propaganda, unlike MSNBC, and they're not always as sophisticated as MSNBC, but they don't spin to make us feel good.

There are so few reliable messengers in the news business. Don't shoot them for bringing up what is on many peoples' mind

[SocialDemocrat61]

43. It's a GOP talking point

Which makes it pro-GOP propaganda and Joey Scar on MSNBC was pushing it too.

[Bucky]

48. Maybe you're looking at the wrong channel

Wait for the "wrong clip" to pop on about a minute in. It ain't CNN throwing ketchup against the

[SocialDemocrat61]

52. No I'm looking at CNN

one clip doesn’t disprove anything.

[Jilly_in_VA]

49. Man, I miss Ted Turner!

He would not have those shit talkers on for 2 minutes!

[H2O Man]

50. Recommended

CNN is disappointed that the selection of Walz takes away the value of all the research they had prepared on the Ellen Greenberg case. They put a lot of energy into preparation to smear Shapiro.

[Nevilledog]

51. Tim Walz wrote a master's thesis on Holocaust education, just as his own school's approach drew criticism

https://www.jta.org/2024/08/06/politics/tim-walz-wrote-a-masters-thesis-on-holocaust-education-just-as-his-own-schools-approach-drew-criticism

In Judi Agustin’s freshman year at Mankato West High School, her teacher instructed her to wear a yellow star.

It was part of a Holocaust curriculum at the school, located in a remote area of Minnesota with barely any Jews. For a week, freshmen were asked to wear the yellow stars, which were reminiscent of the ones the Nazis made the Jews wear. Seniors played the part of the Gestapo, charged with persecuting the “Jews.”

Unlike everyone else in her class in the 2001-2002 school year, Agustin was Jewish. The experience “was incredibly hurtful and offensive and scary,” she recalled on Tuesday. Her father complained to the district, and wrote a letter to the local paper decrying the lesson. In response, she recalled, the head of the department put a stop to them.

The teacher who intervened, according to her recollection: current vice presidential nominee Tim Walz.

“When Tim Walz found out about it, he squashed it real quick, and as far as I understand they never did it again,” Agustin told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “So he was an advocate for my experience, as one of four Jewish kids in the entire school district. And I always felt like he had our back.”

They can fuck off with their antisemitic bullshit.

[tanyev]

57. Wow, every new thing I learn about him just gets better and better.

Impressive.

[Brainfodder]

59. Crap Not News

I still look at their web site to see the way the wind is blowing?

BUT they too will have to bail!
I wonder if it is when he goes to jail!
This fucking shitshow is growing stale
I am all out of fucks
While many suffer out of bucks.

[LostOne4Ever]

60. Maybe CNN needs to see what people like Joe Schumer and Bernie Sanders think?

Or maybe Barbra Boxer, Russ Feingold, Bette Midler, Barbra Streisand, or ya know her husband?

Rather than tell Jewish people what to think how about asking them?

I have a feeling they ALL have a very different opinion.

I also want to know why CNN isn’t talking to Trump about his “very fine people” remark on neo-Nazi’s in Charlottesville or his multiple dinners and ties with holocaust denialist like White Nationalist Nick Fuentes?
