Curt is not bad here...
By Ahab
Sat, 10/22/2016 - 8:38am
The way the Left depicted Schilling here is really dull. Schilling makes a valid point: why does a religious group continue to promote a party that allowed Iran to hold nuclear programs despite being so hellbent on wiping out Israel? He's not being anti-Semitic. It's more or less of a frank realization but these days, anything from the hair on your chin or free speech, will offend any Leftist PC nun. By the way, I'm not a big fan of Schilling either after the Rhode Island scheme.

I thought it kind of sounded like Curt might have been asking out of a place of sincerity. However, I'm of the opinion that if he was really curious to know more, he could have chosen a better time and venue to ask a Jewish person he knows personally with more left-leaning views the same thing without putting Tapper in a seeming "gotcha" type position.

is assuming that all Jews, especially American Jews, are automatically supporters of Israel.
I don't know many American Jews who want to see Israel wiped out or anything like that, but I know plenty who have serious reservations about and criticisms of the Israeli government and its actions.
Schilling can't seem to wrap his mind around the concept of someone who is culturally and/or religiously Jewish but doesn't automatically agree with the politics of Israel. This isn't a tiny subtlety or fine distinction in some obscure aspect of Judaism, this is a reality for a large number of American Jews.

Please have Mr. Soetoro explain to us how hemmed in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard will be when they have the disadvantage of a couple of nuclear weapons.

We agree. His game commentary wasn't too stupid. He was too stupid to realize that as a public figure and ESPN employee he couldn't spew his bullshit w/o consequences. And if I recall correctly he had plenty of chances to just do his job and not be an ignorant opinionated douche on social media.
We couldn't help himself. Kinda like Trump's 3AM tweet-fests, now that you think about it.

Just sayin...maybe a short temper...
"she called Paul Fray, her husband's campaign manager at the time, a "fucking Jew bastard".
Now, I don't want to libel the lady, after all, she's under a lot of pressure and kind of frail, but that lefty bastion of excellence, The Guardian has a bit to say on it:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2000/jul/18/usel...
"Those present at the inquest into the defeat were Mr Clinton, his then-girlfriend Hillary, his campaign manager Paul Fray, and Mr Fray's wife, Mary Lee. Neill McDonald, a campaign worker, was just outside the room and claims to have heard everything. "
And for those in the Nile (heh, pun. Get it? denial?): Fray took a lie detector test and passed it.
For those that claim Fray isn't Jewish, but Baptist...well, absolutely right. He's 1/8 Jewish. That, apparently was enough for Hillary.
On the other hand, maybe she's just a spiteful, hateful bitch that hates everyone.

This somehow became an "issue" in her campaign for the U.S Senate against Rick Lazio. Remember, after Rudy dropped out for "health reasons"? Guess what? Hillary won. Because she was infinitely more qualified than Lazio. Because she was and is a great public servant. And because nobody with half a brain believes she is an anti-Semite.
But please, go ahead, keep trying to justify your original anti-woman slur with an even worse one. You're making my argument better than I ever could.

Curt Schilling asks a valid question
By O-FISH-L
Sat, 10/22/2016 - 9:50am
Curt Schilling wouldn't be my first choice but he raises a valid question and I would support him over the Fake Indian any day. As promised, Israel will likely be blown off the map under John Kerry's disastrous Iran nuke deal, supported by Warren, so Jews voting Democrat are sealing their own fate. When Obama had the leader of Israel visit the White House, he was made to exit via the Dumpster door, overflowing with trash. Shameless. Kerry himself is the son of Jews named Kohn, but quietly changed to an Irish name for political purposes. Kind of like Caroline Kennedy Schollsberg dropped Schollsberg during her embarrassing Senate campaign. The faux, shocked reaction by the African-American reporter introducing the piece was more comical. CNN is the same network that called blacks rioting in France "African Americans" even though none had ever been to America. Just black Frenchmen rioting but CNN couldn't say that. What a joke CNN has become.

the hard floor of Schilling's support in MA, which should be about 2% when Warren is finally through with him. Christ, was a sorry mismatch. You'd think the GOP might have learned its lesson by now about running bigoted, obnoxious know-nothings with terrible hair.
It should be about as fair a contest as a spelling bee between a college professor and the fat, shit-faced, yammering lout at the end of the bar who dropped out in third grade and has a $75M bar tab.

First, I doubt Baker has ever been seriously referred to as alt-right.
Second, it's not a meaningless term. It's how a specific group of people refer to themselves and their beliefs. I think they're abhorrent, but they're absolutely real. It's like saying pro-life is a meaningless term, or progessive, or any political category.

They weren't talking about calling Baker alt-right. They said anyone who falls to the right of him. But a more accurate portrayal would be anyone to the right of Neocons like Bill Kristol, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, et al. That's where you start getting into alt-right territory.
