Posting this from 'Jewish Tea Party Patriots' to get it off my mind.Re: Eliz Warren

[elleng]

Was posted in FB by a righty high school classmate of mine with whom I don't engage on political matters, but I'd like to inform DUers that this crap is going on.

1. Well, rather sadly ...

... we have seen a rather lengthy list of long-revered Democrats thrown under the bus in the past year by all sorts of people.

So I don't know why something like this would be remarkable in any way.

2. Reading that disgusting FB page, it is a right wing hate site page. I can only say it doesn't

represent the majority of American Jews who are liberal progressive Democrats.

3. No, it doesn't.

Which vexes me as to why it was even posted.

4. The OP says it was to "inform DUers that this crap is going on."

What crap is that? That there are some right wing extremists, who happen to be Jewish. You can find extremists in every demographic.

It sure isn't representative of the vast majority of American Jews, but the way people have a tendency to generalize, it sure could be misinterpreted.

I can only speculate that the OP was shocked that a former classmate has those views, and needed the outlet to express that.

5. "needed the outlet to express that."

I can understand that, but I also know how things like this get warped.

6. I have the same concern BTA

8. Aegis, I posted it to get it off my mind/chest,

as a Jewish classmate of the FB non-Jewish poster, and to provide an example, should it be necessary, to DUers, of awful crap that's out in the world, including that of 'groups' who are, or pretend to be MOTT. I can only assume it's a small group.

9. I appreciate you making that known.

I thought it was a bit "off" for you. You and I may not always agree about a certain place, but I have never seen you post anything which could be seen as "ammunition" against us, so I was just checking.

I was just being a bit edgy because I have been told I am a bad Jew and a bad gay man because I don't go apocalyptic often enough and can be polite when the need arises. So, I apologize for throwing that one you.

10. Thanks, I appreciate it, Aegis.

Polite is critical, and not only these 'new' days.

7. Well, whatever. We know people by the enemies

they make, and this collection says nothing but good things about Warren.
